  • @evansnyder9389
    @evansnyder9389 Před 3 měsíci +206

    I'd be interested to see what happened if Rick stopped trying to hit shaped shots and instead took a more calculated placement using safer straight(er) shots. After watching almost every single video Rick has ever posted, I've noticed that he always tries to shape his shots with a draw or fade. Rick is probably a far better player than almost everyone who is watching including myself (15 handicap), but I've seen he looses a lot of strokes after hitting into tricky locations (as we all do) trying to shape his shots where often times he just needs to send it straight and keep it simple.
    On a mental level as well, Rick is such a man of the people in that once he has one bad hole, his negative self talk, personal criticism and psyche takes an almost immediate dive into a place that is near impossible for him to recover from. We see it time and time again. (same for me)
    Rick, we love you. Great video as always. I also can't imagine the self inflicted pressure on performing in videos like this once a channel has grown to this size. He's playing against one of the worlds greatest golfers and is on display in front of millions.

I’ve seen some decently paced greens in the UK, but even some of the nice courses Rick plays seems to be like putting on carpet. The southeast region of the US has a ton of these courses.

    I think you hit the nail on the head. I could feel the nerves you had, out there playing with one of your golf idols. The pressure a guy would put on himself to feel the NEED to play well. Most people will never understand what a mental battle that is. Well played non the less, and another very entertaining video Rick!

  • @rik_fransens
    @rik_fransens Před 3 měsíci +1

    My heart goes out to Rick! But we all know these days, when things don't go to plan. And so recognisable on the tee: when focussing too hard, all kinds of weird and unwanted shapes appear, and when just letting it go, the ball flies off in random directions 😅
    But in Rick's defence: when a guy like Sergio Garcia, who on any course typically shoots 5 or more under par, ends up par, you know that it's a really hard course. The greens seemed to have been very unforgiving with a tiny margin between hitting it too short or overly long. So: well done Rick! Next time will be better 👍 ❤. Looking forward to the re-match.

    Rick, we're all rooting for you, bro'. I teach golf here on the West Coast of CA. This is a constructive post hoping you will read and then watch what is going on with your swing. Please go to 1:06:45 and pause the video. Using the period key while on pause (spacebar) and the comma key, you can SLO-MO forward and backwards a fraction of a second. You will immediately see what is going on with your SETUP and swing. You're definitely a qualified golfer to diagnose why that drive went left. The hardest part about golf is "what you feel, isn't real". Go back and forth watching your takeaway and downswing. There are several ways to fix the problem. Hang in there, Rick. It's a really hard game, even for the pros.

    I'll say this for the 10th time, and I'm surprised no one that plays with Rick has never said it. Rick needs to stop breaking his wrists so soon on the back swing. It's why his drives are so erratic.

    • @eh6138

      You're probably right. You should start a golf channel and get 2M followers, then you can tell him. He's not a pro golfer. He's a golf entertainer. These guys aren't there to correct his swing. I'm sure Sergio saw 100 imperfections with his swing. That's not what the day is about. Just having fun.

    Hard to see you struggling that day. However I think this could deserved a debrief video on what went wrong into your game, what you should have done differently and what technics (including mental )you should have used to recover your golf during the round. As an average golfer, what was a bad day for you is unfortunatelly a regular day for most of us. So any debrief and experience sharing will be a fantastic gift to all of us.

    9th hole, you're in the long rough, downhill lie, ball severely below your feet and you're talking about trying to hook a 6 iron towards the green?... Then you knob it 10 yards and get frustrated with yourself.. What exactly was you expecting to happen???.. You really need to work on your course management and golfing IQ.. Also, clearly not hitting driver well, get the 3 wood out or a driving iron.. Why are you continuing with driver when you clearly struggling... Awful golf from tee to green and your poor decisions made it 10 times harder than it needed it be

Can't blame fast greens when your all ready in the crapper before the greens. As a CZcams golf follower all I can say is SORRY Mr Garcia for what Rick brought to the course.
