    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.

Well we have our tickets to The 150th Open for Saturday and Sunday and getting so excited that we have the opportunity to return. It will be HUGE and being part of the 150th Open at the Old Course. Well it just doesn't get better than this. I am one very happy Aussie. My non golfing wife is also excited after playing her your videos over the past months and now she is just as excited as I am. For us " Everything Has Led To This " Love that

    Got a blast of nostalgia/memories of golf trips at 3:11 oddly enough but I think I know why. There is no better feeling than waking up a little puffy eyed, getting into your golf attire, having breakfast with your boys all dressed up, sipping oj and coffee, groggy but excited, while the sun is shining in, before having a great day of golf. Then a couple pints at the clubhouse after, in town with dinner and at the pub late night. Rinse and repeat. Scottish golf trips are the best.

    Few years back, I was working at Leuchars for 3 weeks, 10 mins from St Andrews. Was meant to fly up from our base in Oxfordshire, but drove from home in Warrington instead. Filled my car with golf gear and played about 8 or 9 rounds of golf between work days. Got on at The Old Course, beat my hcap by 7 shots. Absolutely magical! Love St Andrews. ❤️

    Rick I've recently got back into golfing after a 10 year break. Last time I really played regularly was in high school. My game has significantly improved by just watching your coaching videos and I was never able to hit a 3 or 4 iron. Best I'd hit a ball and get very poor results. Just got back from the range and took my time with just my 4 iron. Straight as an arrow and my furthest shot was 168 yards. I've been more consistent with my swing, stance, yardage, everything. I'm actualy putting the ball where I aim now. Not bad, not great; looking for a coach in my local area. Thank you for all that you do! You absolutely deserve all the subscribers and views you get. All around though my short game and long game have significantly improved. Thank you so much.

    Great video: brings back a lot of wonderful memories.
    Having been associated with several universities, St Andrews has always been where my heart is. The town is magical (not least for golf, even though I didn't play properly, I just did putting) and the university is exceptional.
    My hall room looked directly over to the Old Course Hotel and the Jigger Inn. I never got bored of the view. I did play the Old Course once (it was closed on Sundays and if you got up at first light, you could get round before the green keepers arrived and chucked you off), but the less said about my score, the better. It wouldn't have won the Open.

  • @darrenarbergolf

    Love the Old Course Hotel and the Jigger Inn. I was fortunate to stay there a few years back. Magical place. If you do visit the Jigger Inn do not swear it is not allowed they will kick you out. St Andrews is a great place only downside it's full of students :) On a golfing note if you have not played the Old Course you can't get a true sense of how huge the greens are. You can hit the green in 2 and still have 40 yards to the pin.
