    Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel RickShielsPGAGolf. This CZcams channel is designed to help you play better golf, also to help you enjoy your golf more!
    I specialise in golf club reviews, golf club unboxing, golf club news, golf club head to heads, and all about golf clubs.
    I also want to make you play better golf by providing coaching video on all topics about golf, how to fix your slice, fix your hook, help you drive the golf ball longer, hit your irons more pure, hit your irons closer to the hole and help you draw and fade your golf shots.
    I will also help you lower your score by chipping better by stopping you duff and thin chips, pitch the ball closer and also create backspin. Also I will provide you help to putt better and hole more putts!
    On this channel I also make fun and entertaining golf content based on crazy and sometimes “gimmicky” golf clubs. I like to cut through the marketing hype about products and I like to give you the honest truth about golf equipment.
    If you enjoy the channel make sure you hit subscribe and also tap the notification bell so that you are always notified when I release a new video.

    "It's been a few days since he's hit a ball, and no warmup." Ah yes! The REAL weekend-warrior public course test! Lol. Seriously though my local course is 9 holes, no driving range. For league, you basically get off work, go straight to the course, "warming up" consists of half-assedly stretching and swinging a club around while you have a few sips of your first beer while you're waiting for your turn on the first tee. It's real blue-collar stuff lol.

I really enjoyed seeing the difference in shot set-up habits between his level of play and a regular player. Just curious how good his putting would be if he was on his 4th day of playing the same course and was familiar with the greens.

Complements to Sam as he demonstrated that professionalism in golf isn't just being able to hit it long, but in maintaining a courteous, calm, and positive demeanor. I think he also had the foresight to play casually, and not hyper focused to mirror how most amateur's play.

    A few years ago we had a couple of former University of Georgia team golfers come and play our semi-private course in middle Georgia. They had never played it before and both did pretty well. It is a par 71 course from the white tee playing 6750 yards. One of them shot 67 and the other shot 65. Mind you, it was a warm, late summer afternoon so the ball flew a bit better through the air. Having a nice cold beverage after the round, one of them commented that he thought the course wasn't that tough but course management was the key since there are so many risk/reward opportunities that a few bad decisions would cost several strokes. I mentioned that course management is the only way I play. It was a fun day for all.

      Yeah I know nothing about golf, and all golf shots and swings look identical to me normally. But these videos really make it obvious - even to an idiot like me - just how good they are. Just how much better pro golfers are than regular golfers.
      Also I love the thing he does with these videos and he uses his editing software to show you the path of the ball in a big red line. Whenever I've watched golf on TV, they never seemed to have that, and instead always just seem to track the ball in the air even though with a shot like that, there's no reference points in the frame to tell you where the ball is or where it's going and how fast it's going, the shape of the arc, etc. So I dunno if modern day golf presentation on TV already does this thing Rick does. But if they don't, they desperately need to, because it demonstrates far more clearly what's going on
      I'm glad I found this channel. I never knew golf was so fascinating. I might actually try and play it again (well, I have never played on an actual golf course, I've only ever been to a driving range, and I was never any good at it, but I'll try again now)

      My biggest tip is to try and find a level of comfort in your swing. Dont try to hard, its just a game. If you have space to practice callaway makes great foam practice balls. They will fly quite a good distance. The thing i like most is the ball flight is pretty accurate. I use them for pitch shots in my yard and its more about contact and my swing. Working on my take away and follow through. Best of luck to you. Golf is so much fun, and theres tons of beautiful courses

    A quick story that this reminds me of. In the early 1980's Seve Ballesteros played an exhibition game in a course close to me in Ireland. It was the day after he won the Irish Open. The course is about 6900 yards from the tips, so with equipment changes probably played then like a 7200, 7300 yard course plays these days. It's hosted all of the biggest Irish amateur tournaments, so it's not a cakewalk. I'm sure it was set up fairly tough, it must have been the biggest day in the club's history. Anyway, without his regular caddie and focusing more on chatting with the spectators, he casually knocked it around in 68, four under. Bit of an eye opener.

      @@quiksix25 A lot of people will tell you the difference is their short game, but as you saw, when the greens are not perfect, it is still not easy. For me on an average course the main difference is just the accurate distance off the tee. A low amateur would score about the same if they dropped their ball in the same spot.
      The difference comes more on the harder tracks where the penalty for missing the fairway or green is greater and there are more unlevel lies, and the greens get faster. At that point they really are playing a completely different game, and it is one most amateurs never even get to play. Even if you do play one of the championship courses, it isn't set up in championship shape and it the tees are rarely at the back.

      Out in Tyler TX right now and even the country club out here has dead spots. It’s murder. Though the dry conditions make for nice long drives that just roll out a good ways.

    This is the first video of yours I’ve ever seen, and was a great watch. I’m just getting back into golf, and was amazing to see even pros hit it into the trees like the rest of us 😂 What a great sport Sam was. Really enjoyable video. Subscribed!

    Wow. That was so much fun to watch. Things I picked up:
    1) His attitude was so positive, relaxed YET focused.
    2) His swing was ridiculously repeated over and over and over and over. And over. He hits a baby draw. Over and over. And over. Wow. And hit one cut shot - on demand. Again, wow.
    3) His attitude is so freaking positive but I said that before.
    4) His 4 foot putts are MONEY. Those were probably WAY more important than his superb ball striking!❤
