    What a great interview, Robert is such a humble guy who clearly made the very most of his talent with loads of hard work. Wishing him the very best of luck with his tour. Its nice seeing someone helping kids out with his experiences and knowledge 👌

    Best interview ever, always admired how Robert has conducted himself, and his swing is pure.

      I play with rocky at Ingestre park. Was on the range with him tonight. Good lad.

    So If someone said Robert Rock to me before today, I knew he was a Golfer but couldnt tell you much more honestly. I seriously enjoyed this chat... my word what a great, humble, down to earth guy. If he was still playing today I would now go out of my way to watch him. What a nice genuine bloke. Fair play for grafting your way to a great golfing career Robert. Respect.

    This is proper class! Instant fan of him now. Would love to see what a Robert Rock vs James Robinson match would look like 😍👀

    • @TheTraditionalGolfer
      @TheTraditionalGolfer Před 7 měsíci +2

      As good as James is he isn't in the league of Robert Rock that would be a one sided affair I'm afraid.....both great players but Robert operates on a higher level than james

    Robert is a great listen. The best mixture of talent, humility and class. So easy to see why he’s so well respected. The best episode you’ve put out so far. Well done team 👌

  • @WeekendWarrior2680

    Robert is a shining example to everyone , sport business , life. He is an absolute world class athlete, proven winner yet he is so humble , class, warm, engaging! So many people with over stated arrogance could learn from this guy! Best episode so far . Well done Rick and Guy.🎉

  • @kevingowdy3651

    This has to be at the top of the list of (in your own words) phenomenal! podcasts Rick. To hear the real story of golf and not just the icing on the cake was really moving and changes the way I for one will look at the golfers who make it their career. the honesty of Robert was refreshing to hear. Well done the team. More like this please! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

  • @TheoHarrisGolf

  • @dorianwall5849
    @dorianwall5849 Před 7 měsíci +2

    Bumped into Rob this morning, congratulated him on the podcast and he genuinely didn't realise what a big deal it was. Very humble chap, still hits a decent golf shot too 🙂

  • @waynecooper3256
    @waynecooper3256 Před 7 měsíci +4

    I played with ‘Rocky’ in a Midland PGA event many years ago and was told how far he hit it, I remember thinking he wasn’t that long until a hole needed a bomb and OMG he hit it into another post code!! and went on to shoot mid 60’s with ease. Class player 👍👍👍👍👍

    • @2sqnbandit379
      @2sqnbandit379 Před měsícem

      I play with him now at Ingestre. Was on the range with him tonight. Incredible golf swing. He’s got time for anyone. He went out with a 20hcp the other day. Asked him for a round. He’s in the US open & hrs got time for a 20hcp 😂😂

  • @philgoodge-gm5vh
    @philgoodge-gm5vh Před 7 měsíci +2

    Up until watching the interview with Rick, I hadn’t seen or even heard of Robert Rock. What a gent up took up the game and mastered it through hard work and dedication. His stories and honesty are a breath of fresh air and far away from the current modern game and the intensity these top players have to survive. Great interview Rick.

  • @natheward_
    @natheward_ Před 7 měsíci +5

    Just finished the podcast on Spotify come here to leave a comment. What a great episode, just 3 golf enthusiasts having a chat. Enjoyed Rick and Robert having a lot in common and their experiences growing up in golf and Guys fascination with everything. Would love to see more of him on the channel, especially on the course. A Rick Shiels sponsored junior event would be a class shout too.

    Such a great interview, one of my favourites on the channel. Such an incredibly humble guy is Rock and he just has a great ability to share his story. Can't believe it was nearly 2 hours, time flew past!
    Another brilliant job by Rick & Guy doing the interviewing. 👏

  • @rdbgolf1

  • @sappertappergolf
    @sappertappergolf Před 7 měsíci +2

    What a fantastic two hour podcast, i am so pleased you made this extended podcast, just to hear all the fantastic stories as a tour pro who fought until the end of his time. It was a great insight into how these tour pros go through mentally challenging decisions reference making ends meet.
    Robert is a credit to himself and the sport, i love the honesty Robert states, you need to be selfish in many ways to become a tour pro but also love that he said i have been selfish for over 20 years and now it's time to pay back hence suporting his son in his dreams etc.
    Best podcast i have listened to by far. Rick you are becoming the Parky of podcasts keep up the fantastic work you also bring great light and entertainment into the golfing world. Shout out to Guy and all the RS team 😊😊

  • @danudry9364
    @danudry9364 Před 7 měsíci +1

    One of my first memories of golf, was carrying the scoreboard at the Celtic manor in the Welsh open. The group was Paul mcginely, Phil price and Robert rock. And I think it was on the 5th hole par 5 into the wind, Rob was the first player I had ever seen hit driver of the deck. My jaw hit the floor as he hit this low fizzing driver to about 10 foot. Fair to say I hit the course as soon as I could the try and replicate this. Failed massively but has to be one of the best shots I’ve ever seen live. Such a nice guy

  • @brotherbread6549
    @brotherbread6549 Před 7 měsíci

    I'm listening to this at work knowing I still have an overtime day tomorrow to work. I'm' already at 96 hrs and the rest of the day left to work, too. At 58:25 I had to pause the show and pull myself together. Spot on and the fact he admitted that made Mr. Rock my favorite person in golf, not my favorite player. Much more valuable. Best show I've ever heard.

  • @GraemeWilson23
    @GraemeWilson23 Před 3 měsíci

    Met Rob at the London Club a few years ago on the putting green, he spent 10 mins chatting and giving a few tips, absolute top guy.

  • @harrymelad942
    @harrymelad942 Před 6 měsíci

    That is one of the best interviews with a sportsman I have probably ever seen. The almost two hours flew by and I didn't want it to end. I have always admired Robert's golf swing and have not heard him speak much before (nor did I know that he was so unhappy with his putting). He is such a humble and likeable bloke and was very candid and insightful in his answers. But for goodness sake, get the man a decent seat, as he looked as uncomfortable as hell at times on that stool - it reminded me of the joke interview Renato Laranja did with Bas Rutten where he had put books under his seat cushion.

  • @channelsis1569

  • @jpmorris8759

  • @janstoobz4707
    @janstoobz4707 Před 7 měsíci +3

    What a truly nice bloke. I had followed Robert's career but never knew the back story. This is the antidote to the money obsession which currently pervades golf and its media coverage. Also brilliant to learn of his commitment to bringing kids into the game. As one who is involved in this in a minor way I know how incredibly important this is.

  • @crashadistel
    @crashadistel Před 7 měsíci

    Golf has definitley changed. I have just taken it up again in my 50th year having given up at 25 yo. I started because my father played and wanted me to at 8 yo. I loved playing, but hated everything else about being a member of a club. My first trip back to a club recently, just to use the driving range, I was actually nervous like I was every time I went as a youngster because of all the stuffy, pompous attitudes I was used to from the past as a junior member of a club. I fully expected to be shouted at and barred for changing my shoes in the car park. From watching Rick and Guy, then the Golf Girls and all the other great Golf YTubers, I have rediscovered my love of the game and love the lighter, more relaxed nature of social Golf these days. Thanks for being part of that.

    The one thing I’ve learned from watching this two hour podcast is I will never purchase a thing from Hertz or State Farm due to their obnoxious ads.
    In all seriousness, what a great interview. I didn’t think I’d actually watch the full thing due to the length, but what a compelling interview listening to this Everyman talk about how he went from a kid swinging old clubs in a park to beating arguably the greatest player who ever lived.
