Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel! This CZcams channel is designed to help you play better golf, also to help you enjoy your golf more!
I specialise in golf equipment reviews, golf instruction & I play against some of the best golfers in the world!
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!
What a cracking day out with the boys! The course is really amazing apart from the 11th 🤬😂 enjoy!
Think Arnold Palmer called the 11th the hardest hole in championship golf. Left or right is dead off that tee.
"would a mouse do this" 😂
Tough really on such a hard hole to not know where you are hitting, great round otherwise, James!
You've really grown from a comfort perspective on camera, James. I'm sure it doesn't come natural, but good on you for going out of your comfort zone and growing as a result
Could not agree more!! Hard for us to see and judge the 11th but surely a hard one! Love Your golf swing and play!
I was walking on the beach just to the right of the tee and I heard “right, let’s go” in the unmistakable accent. Looked over and of course it was Rick, been looking forward to this video for a couple of weeks now
How many Coffees has Guy had. Wow, Guy talk-a lot Charnock 😂😂😂
You just know they’ve got a separate group chat without Guy in
Minus the back 9 I think this was some of Rick’s best golf I’ve seen him play in a minute
The back 9 is definitely harder and he played a great round, even the back. Take off the one bad swing and he shoots even par.
Who cares??
Impressive considering a lot of negative comments on here.
@Dan-os9kg easier for Rick than qualifying that's for sure😂
i’d say Guy took his ball and went home, but he didn’t have any balls left lol
James Robinson is such a class act. I love him in every video
He's far better than the other James Robinson
He's o a different planet to the other JR @@sandersson2813
A true gent always worth watching on a Rick vid
Thought this was Rick Shields channel. All i heard was Guy
James hit the nail on the head: ‘He’s talked a lot today though hasn’t he’ 😂 Guy ‘what about me’ Charnock! Just wind it in man!
Its like he took Speed pills before the match, just couldn't shut it!
These are my favorite videos! When you didn’t post a break75 on Friday, I was so disappointed! Worth the wait!!
Glad you like them!
Glad you like them!
Glad you like them!
Glad you like them!
Glad you like them!
The boys back together! 100% the best videos on this channel are the three of you playing. Was great to see Rick play so well. Didnt break 75 in qualifying but managed it at Troon!
"get your calculator" had me. Love seeing James on the channel. The chemistry with you three is great
I grew up in Troon and played my golf on the Darley, Lochgreen, and Fullarton courses. We loved it when the open came to town. Imagine being 15 and having all your heroes suddenly playing golf in your hometown. Thanks for this amazing content. Brought back many great memories for me guys😊
Happy days indeed!
Rick's videos can sometimes have a surreal quality to them. I'm thinking in particular when the video scans towards him & Rick says, "coconut chips, for those wondering" whilst he looks straight into the camera for a couple of seconds. All done with a dead straight poker face. Made me chuckle.
Then the..'no more sausage rolls for me'. I felt that.
James needs to grow his own channel. Such a class guy and love hearing him talk through his shots.
James talking about guy “he’s talked a lot today hasn’t he” 😂😂
Ricky needs to reign Guy in a bit. He was chatting pure nonsense for large parts of this video. Like an annoying little brother.
Agreed he does my head in
He doesn't bring anything to the channel whatsoever
He’s the worst. “Annoying little brother” is the best description I’ve ever heard for him.
It’s like someone has told Rick he HAS to include Guy or he’s not getting any ice cream!
Send him back behind the camera
@@davidmeers69 I actually really like Guy. He brings a bit of levity to the channel, and these "break" series videos. I don't disagree with "reigning him in" a bit though, he did get a little out of control, but generally, I like him a lot... not by himself, with Rick, but yeah.
Agreed. He really needs to shut up and let others take the spotlight. He's super annoying, but would be good /tolerable if he just knew when to shut up a bit
Thanks for including Guy in the video thumbnail - I now know how to not lose 1 hour and 44 minutes of my life!
More of you and James, please - he brings out out the best in your golf 1 vs 1....
Haha I wish I knew…Man, they edited out Guy on the 16th and I wished they did way more of that.
Come on Guy, you don’t get to say “I was hoping to come to Troon and shot xx” and then just quit. It’s golf mate you would’ve been able to go to troon and shoot xx, would’ve been a realistic number for most golfers. You don’t just get to record your good days
Agreed, had the camera not been there he'd have played all 18, but his ego was obviously bruised. 😂
Dunno why but even though Guy seems unphased, I'm disappointed for him that he didn't record a score, even though I couldn't dream of playing Troon, no matter how bad I would be playing I'd really want to actually record a score. I know filming probably made him feel like it was slowing things down, but I love watching his round regardless of the score.
Maybe he good get a game with Jimmy Bullard. He's a bottle job too
@@SeanRof I don't know if you're a scratch golfer or what, but both Guy and Jimmy are far better than I am, and what's more they can actually put together decent content, which at the end of the day is what they actually do. So I don't know is the bottle job comment necessary.
@@a88senna Because every commenter on a youtube golf video is a +10 handicap and multiple major winner, didn't you know?
@@a88senna 😪boo hoo, throw in the towell because your having a bad day.
@@SeanRof proud of that attitude are you?
Guy, dont give up again! You represent the average golfer when you play with Rick and you hold your own. My favorite vids are with you playing! James, always a pleasure to see you on the channel. Great round, great content as usual.
Guy is quite a bit better than the "average" golfer even, but it shows how unbelievably hard these courses are.
@@jason561120 yeah isn't he like a 4 handicap? much better than average
Come on a 4 handicap, not in his wildest dreams. Every time I have seen him play he is at least 7 over. 4 handicappers don't hit shanks in any regularity. He is more like a 10 handicap, Rick is at best although he is a pro and therefore scratch probably is at least 6 over
Imagine having a free hit at an open course, quitting half way round and then jumping back in to play a few more shots when you felt like it. 😂
Handicaps are course adjusted you melt. 4 hcp doesn’t mean you shoot 4 over on average. you've got the golf knowledge of a baby seal
Well done Guy, you did break 80. Just about in 13 holes
Yes let him have it
Well done guys….appreciate the preview of Troon ……I must say Rick , your mental approach has really improved.
Guy's that guy you try and swerve in a roll up.
...yeah annoying.😆
Irritating beyond imagination
It's about time that Rick showed him the door
James is the kind of guy you can't help but like. He just truly seems like such a nice person, always genuine, and very supportive of anyone he plays golf with. His golf swing and that "tour caliber" sound at impact makes me so jealous! Haha. I'm jealous of all three of you guys for getting to play such incredible courses right before tour events, too! Rick has been playing some really good golf here lately, but he's got to find a way to get out of his own way! Play the shot in front of you and then forget about it, especially if it's a mistake.
Guy let himself down in this one, NR and nervous waffle.
Rick it is good to see your game rounding back to top form . Your struggles from few months past seem to be less . Great video , fairways and greens mate .
The chemistry between yourself, Guy and James is unmatched in CZcams Golf. Looking forward to this video more than The Open itself 😂🔥
More than matched by Tubes, Ange and Jimmy
Neither are like the guys from taco golf… the real #1 channel on yt
@@6enzo187exactly this
@@6enzo187be a loion 🦁not a 🐏!
Someone hasn't watched Tooms Taco and Sam.
*Guy Chalmers show. Have a day off mate, let Rick do
Is thang
Rick is worse
Don’t mean this in a bad way, but it was real to see Guy struggle, golfers sometimes don’t appreciate how difficult these Open links courses are even in benign conditions, especially when you’ve not played it before. 😅well done Guy👍
All of this!
You ever not seen guy not struggle? No disrespect
@@dparco21 he's still better than like 90% of people who actually play golf.
@@dparco21 Dude, they play tough courses from the tips. Guy is a solid single handicap. I'm sure the camera adds 2 or 3 shots per round too.
Great round guys. Loved it. Think everyone played nice golf. I would argue Rick feels the need to shape more golf shots than nessasary. Play it straight makes mishits come up short rather than a cut becoming a slice. Espcially when the rough grass will punish you as much as today
Wow!!! 74 at Royal Troon!! Very impressive
Rick shooting 74 off the back tees at Troon in Open conditions when he shot 83 or so in qualifying just has to be such a cathartic experience. That’s such an amazing achievement and to have it on video with your mates is the cherry on top. Rick, you’re a CZcams legend!
1:41:41 "he's talked a lot today" 😆😅
We only had to listen to Guy during the video. James was with him for probably 6-8 hours and he finally had to say something. 😂
Just nervous energy, when he bowed out I didn’t think he was going to keep commenting
Rick, the production quality on these videos is astronomical. Those first few drone shots at 0:26 made me stop and pause the video. Hope I'm in for some good golf and laughs! Cheers from Canada.
It was great seeing james back on the channel. Guy, not so much had to put subtitles on
The trick is to double tap the 10 sec button whenever Guy is swinging or talking.
I love this suggestion. Makes the videos much more bearable
Congratulations Rick on breaking 75 on a PGA tournament course, no less!
I still maintain that you playing with others goes a LONG way to helping you break through your own headspace and just play the game one shot at a time. Specifically, during this round of break 75, I don't remember you talking to us about the next shot, or the next 2 shots extensively, the way you do in solo videos.
Overthinks most shots... company definitely breaks him out a bit. I wish he'd choose to shape his shots less. Straight is nearly always a better choice
There were quite a few times he's thinking "now I must get up and down to save par."
Super focused on the scorecard. I think tee box honors has a lot to do with it. Not so much in the "I want them" context, but more so in the "must tally each hole as we go". I often wonder how UToobers would play if they weren't keeping a running score.
@@mickbanner Of course, the other school of thought, expressed by none other than Ben Hogan, is that he NEVER intentionally hit a straight shot. Hogan always shaped the shot one way or the other. Not to compare Rick to Hogan, but perhaps the wiser path is always to hit a shot one particular shape, unless the hole demands otherwise, and then shape it the way the hole demands.
@@leonardhandzlik6008 you're 100% right. Hitting your stock shot is vastly more consistent than trying to shape every different shot. Fades have a chance of slice, draws become hooks... and mishits if straight will just come up short
I'm confused. I thought this was the Rick Shiels Golf channel. Not the Guy Dingleberry Golf channel.
Some of the best golf I've seen Rick play. Literally one drive and two short putts from being a great round. Well done James well played.......and Guy ...its the taking part that counts 😉
Most famous last words were always, "Hey y'all - WATCH THIS!!"... but they have been replaced by, "Would a mouse do THIS?!?!?". Absolutely killed me. Looks like a beautiful course that would be a blast to play, although I do agree with James that blind tee shots aren't charming or quaint, they are an annoying remnant of a bygone age and they really should be eliminated whenever possible.
Great rounds from Rick and James, playing Troon off the VERY back tees is a tough test, for them to both shoot 74 is quite impressive. Definitely different ways to get there (I think Rick had 4 birdies, 3 bogeys, and 2 doubles with only 9 pars; James I believe had 1 birdie, 1 bogey, 1 triple and 15 pars). I do wish Guy had kept playing and recorded a score, just so we could see what a very good recreational player might shoot on an off day... but I imagine once he got up around +11 or +12 he was probably starting to feel a bit embarrassed and didn't want to post a score in the 90s.
Great content here, can't wait to see the pros tackle it this week. 🙂
love the break 70 75 and 80 with James and Guy....best series you have done so far.
Always enjoy it when James is on the break 75 with Rick.
Best I’ve seen Rick play for ages! Great video!
Love Rick’s outlook on life: “even without any golf, you could just sit and the stands in the sun and enjoy the view”
That’s the stuff 30:00
Great video but Guy was way too much with the talking. I think James even mentioned on the 18th green what I’ve mentioned above.
the dude won't shut up!
Heavy use of the skip button when he starts talking. He talks over people's shots too so can't even avoid it half the time!
@@drvanhalen1 thanks for the skip button idea - without it, i would have pressed the off button
I love guy but I really feel like he was drunk during this.
17th Tee - Guy, "Ah that could be in the hole', not even on the green. Talks way to much crap.
Rick Shiels is living the life. Playing courses like this. Playing golf for a living and making stacks of CZcams $$. Doesn’t get much better. Hell of a round Rick.
Guy has ridden the coattails of rick and is now living the same life, hit the lottery
Rick has that Ping putter rolling pure!
His original review wasn't THAT glowing...but his putting has been top notch
@45:45 -- that's an optical illusion! Thought the plane was heading into the grandstand. Haha. Great golf, lads. Very enjoyable viewing.
Love when Robbo is on! Learn so much just from watching his calm demeanor and the way he discusses and executes his shots. Pleasure to watch.
Guy’s a melt. It’s Troon just finish your round instead of quitting
Fun first. If keeping score is preventing you from having fun, then don't keep score. Nothing wrong with it
@@nickthebold He need to stay in the game, his poor concentration - just playing around - might destroy the other players game too. (Love Guy, but to me, this was a clear fail on his part.)
@@nicktheboldridiculous comment imo you’re now a content creator and are there to play 18 not ‘just have fun’ very poor form to not finish
i agree - he has as much charisma as a wet brick.
You have to finish, to quit is totally wrong.
Guy has to be one of THE most annoying people of all time. A close 1st ahead of Rick. James FTW!
I would just like to thank you 3 for a very relaxing 18 at Royal Troon. The nostalgia of Scottish links is unmatched and I can't wait for the open enjoy everyone ♥️
Love this rick. Love the combination of Rick, Guy, and James. Keep up the great content 🔥🔥🔥
Can you upload a version where we have the option to mute/skip Guy? 🤦♂️😂
Some of the best golf I’ve seen you play Rick. Well done. James is one of my favorite guests you bring on. After Guy quit he should’ve had to hold the camera.
Great watch. Seriously impressed, Rick. One of your best rounds. That 11th (The Railway) is a brutal hole. I went to see the Open with my dad in 1973, the year Tom Weiskopf (RIP) won. We watched the leaders in the stand behind the 11th green. We heard cheers getting nearer and nearer as Nicklaus was making his way round the course. He came to the 11th and hit his second to about 10 ft and holed the putt. In those days, it was a par 5 but still, epic from the master. He was too far back, ended with a 65 in 4th place. Great memories.
Heard Guy in the last podcast drop in ‘you’ve charmed me’ and thought it was to be the office quote. Then this ep. ‘The real quiz’ love it. Brent would be proud! Being quoted by the world’s most successful golfers, CZcamsrs, probably entertainers third.
Good to see different handicap golfers playing a tour course.
I believe most club golfers that play these courses would love to play within 10 shots of their handicap
This what i want more of Rick! You and the boys having a fun round. Being in the USA seeing any course that in your part of the world is always a great watch but even better when you're having a great time, having a laugh and enjoying a rounc even on a tough course! Play well!
Well done at breaking 75 Rick! And Guy, you say we watch these to see Rick and the pro, but as someone 1.5 years into their golf hobby I really do enjoy watching you plot your way round.
I love watching Rick and Guy golf. James’ golf shot just sounds so pure every time! A pleasure to watch!
Well done Rick. Guy needs to give it up
I absolutely love it when guy bigs himself up details exactly how to play the shot..... Then shanks it or smashes it out of bounds, this game bites back guy😂
What I love about these videos is listening to Rick and all the golfers on how they approach shots, their thoughts, how they recover and of course the excitement...thanks for sharing..
so hyped to watch this, great preview.
I'm coming across the pond to attend in only 2 short days. See you at The Open.
Hopefully the course gets a bit faster. Love a huge run out at The Open
Love the casual nature of this one. Would love to see more of the crew get involved a little in the videos like you had in this one.
What a round Rick! James and Guy were good company as well, those OB tee shots and Guy's reaction had me rolling 🤣
I've always had Rick down as a bit of a prat but then along comes Guy and says 'Hold my pint'
The 'I'M THE GUY' show! Special guests Rick and Robbo if you can get a word in! What a nause .
Great round of golf, few things on my mind after this: best golf I’ve seen Rick play, despite a rocky finish. Guy was a bit wordy, which is not nice to contend with during a round. Golf is definitely social but there’s a job to finish on the course. It’s all about a tidy balance of seriousness and banter. Guy’s final nail in the coffin was abandoning his round! One thing I’ll always treasure about Rick is whatever he shoots, he cards a score and remains hopeful until the very last putt. As a mid handicapper myself, I don’t expect to get out there and play like Tiger Woods, but Rick has taught me to always TAKE WHAT YOU GET. That’s why we love this game! Very disappointed by Guy throwing in the towel like that, really poor. Hats off to Jim for playing his golf and staying focused as well, and Rick’s shirt is the grooviest I think I’ve ever seen him wear!
The guy with the most screen time talking about his shots doesn't even finish scoring... We are here for Rick and JR...
Saw Rick on Live on the Range. He did well. Seemed to fall into the role quite naturally. Well done mate. Oh, and don't listen to the comments in there. You are NOT a chubby, talentless hack. :))
Great video,but Guyannoys the life out of me.
Me too, he's definitely someone who likes the sound of their own voice
Yep
@irishmarc struggling with the podcast because of Jim.
Great video - superstar golf from Rick, 74 on an open course he hadn't played that week, absolutely amazing
Rick was absolutely on fire this round. Great to watch him play his A game on such a challenging course.
Guy 100% typifies what we all do! When the stress is off and he gave in, he played so much better. Might get me back into it if I just play without scoring! Apart from the obvious hole, James is that classic pro who doesn’t make mistakes and strings together lots of pars. Great video gents.
Guy! You are the one I relate to the best. I love James and Rick, but you are the comic relief, and we need more of you in these vids! I was so bummed when you stopped keeping score because I thought you weren't going to be in the video as much, but yay you did great! Solid golf gentlemen!
Guy quits keeping score and subsequently makes birdie 😁That's golf.
Only thing missing to make this great video a superb one was IONA! Love it when you 4 get together. Such great vibes. Oh and well played Rick!
Absolutely love it when James joins the group. More of him as his time/schedule permits, please.
Love me a break 75 with the boys keep on swinging lads cheers
Guy managed 3 weeks of talking in 2 hours on this video 😳
Well said
Cringy
Yes mate. I just commented about asking for a mute button for him. He's like a toddler that can't shut up. Except a toddler is a lot more interesting.
It's just way too much drivel from him
I feel he just can’t shut up , my daughter is the same but she’s 7 , he just has to say something about something. I’m sometimes put off watching when he’s playing
I love watching these three golf together.
Some of the best golf Rick’s played in a long time. Love to see it
Nice to have the band back together. Just settling in to watch this video.
Would love to have a hype man like Guy for every round I play "Gorgeous, great shot, beauty that, well done mate, players will bite your hand off for that in the open". The man
knows where his bread is buttered
Break 80, 75, 70 are the best videos you make! The pre-major and fairly recent pre Ryder cup content is unmatched.
BRILLIANT video Rick ! So good to see how tough Troon is and will be for the field this week , some fantastic shots between you all.
So it's Guy with Producer Rick now
I get that guy is not top notch but it's almost like he's scared to take it serious so instead he acts like a court jester and tries to act like it doesn't matter. Maybe less talking would help. Otherwise, great stuff out of Rick!
Beautiful course! Been one of my favorite ones to watch all year
Thanks for the Open course preview. Troon is iconic. I was very surprised to hear that none of the trio had ever played there before.
I typically like Guy’s banter to keep things light, but this was a bit much, especially at this kind of venue
Have to be honest, would love to be able to mute Guy. Sorry Guy.
I lost all respect for him when he stopped keeping score. I hope his wife watches this video and does the right thing.
@@yourenchantedgiftswhat about his boyfriend? Never seen a grown man so giddy in my life, full stop.
How is he still getting a gig with Rick here?! Easily the worst part of this channel. Gobby, rubbish banter, reckons he can take on pros, excuse merchant…
Get him back behind the camera ffs
@@MosesMal0n3 I don't think he bats for the other team. He just needs to man-up when he's not playing well. We all need to suck it up, no pun intended, when we're not striking it well.
@@yourenchantedgiftssimply put! Take what you get, easy as.
Fantastic video, great shots, rollercoaster ride for everyone, superb , well done , course looks beautiful, looking forward to to the open 2024
Felt so behind as an American not realizing this where the British open is this week till about half way through the video lol. I would have watched this sooner had I known. You guys played such a difficult course so well!
I didn’t think Guy could get any more annoying, then I watched this video…
Guy can be unbearable, puts me off watching.. Talk less waffle / cringe!
Love the shows with James - one bad hole from a level par round on a bloody tough course, played so solid. That was a top round from Rick, too - some of those approach shots from the rough on the front nine were dreamy. Great vid!
The only two barstool golfers I care to watch with one of the best videos of the year. Couldn't get any better!
Rick played well. Guy is that annoying wee guy who appears when you are about to tee off begging for a game. Cringeworthy.....
