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!

We are so close to *1,000,000* subscribers! Let’s do it this week! Thanks so much everyone 👌👍🙌💪
##RickTo1mill
Wish I could sub to u multiple times 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
When you hit 1m subs, I'm taking a day off to celebrate with you and play 18 holes. Your videos have done me wonders!
#rickto1mil
Let's goooooooooo!
I like to have about 8 beers while golfing. Glad to see that didn’t make the list 🙏
😂😂😂
Hahahaha😂😂😂
I've played with guys who would buy a 12 pack before playing 18 holes and you had to take two strokes for every beer you had left when you finished...and they played for money.
Correction fluid. Fixes swings when used in moderation.
Chuck Bunting that sounds crazy
Positive thinking: I'm positive I'm going to slice it to the next fairway.
Lmao
🤣😭😭😭🤣😭
Fr though it's so hard to think positive when the recent results have been bad. You have to delude yourself I guess.
Ya but that's a good lie bro. LMAO
Gets to the green in 2 on a par 5.(I’m going to quit my job and be on the tour by next week)
* 6 Putts
“Boys let’s get some more beers and happy Gilmore the next hole”
100% me last week 😑 3 and 4 putts all day
@@HOLLYWOODeddieA Same!! But it was more like 4 and 2 putts. Never made it under par but I was consistent. I was crap with Irons but my short game was on point.
I felt this on a deeper level, I shot an Eagle on the second yesterday, then shot +6 on the next hole... Life is such
That’s me 💯😂
I love how he says know your distances like it’s close to the same number for us mortals. My irons have about a 20 yard range depending on my swing
My golf partner in my league can hit his pitching wedge 10 feet- 150 yards....only thing is he doesnt know when its gonna do what
@skeeter dupree Then use it when you are 160 from the hole and make a 10 yard putt...
@skeeter dupree Truth.
@@rickt9569 sounds like me! 😂
I hit a 7 iron for everything. I'm most consistent with that club and I hit it further than I hit my 3 iron. I'm not sure if I'm great with a 7 iron or bad with a 3 iron I just hit my 7 iron even on long shots. If I'm a little bit short of the green then its better than inconsistent 3 iron that might go that far or I could shank it. I hit my 7 iron 160ish every time while my 3 iron fluctuates from 100 to 180.
#5 can't be said enough. One thing someone said that I remember in my head now all the time is "you're not that good to get that mad". Really helps put things into perspective!
A prime example is Sergio Garcia, if somebody wants to see how 40 year old baby acts then just do some searches on TH-cam. He’s good but he’s a horrible example for young golfers.
That's such a great sentence. I can hit a 3 iron so good, it makes your eyes hurt watching it. Next shot? I duff it- rolls about 10 yards. That's my game. Of course, I don't like to do that, but as you wrote, I'm "not that good to get that mad."
If I not mistaken it was to Gary Player at a ProAm. I think of it every time I feel myself about to loose it.
Haven’t watched it yet but I know I do all 5 of them!
YNWA
I like the way you think. Positive! 👍
Was thinking the same! Haha
Probs because u support liverpool
Haha made me laugh this comment
Rick, I have to admit that I have watched about 4 different videos from your channel now. In two weeks i went from playing 106 to 91 and this past weekend playing 88. I have applied many of your insights into what used to be a slice, to a better iron shot to finish off with a good short game. Thank you for your videos they really helped me a lot.
Regarding downhill putts, a good rule of thumb for amateur players is this: when reading the break in a downhill putt, however much you have determined the break to be: DOUBLE IT.
Your putts will be on the high side of the hole, and as a result, you will make a lot more putts.
This isn’t always the case, but if you miss a lot of downhill breaking putts, this is a good rule to follow until you become better at reading downhill breaks.
You will not only make more putts, but you will 3-putt a lot less.
I've found my biggest mistake is teeing off.
That first hole, with everyone at the clubhouse watching you, and all you are hoping is to hit the ball in the air and not dribble it off the tee box and make a fool of yourself! I actually did that in a tournament once! Ended up placing 3rd, since after that shot, I just couldn't make a worse shot and played one of the best rounds ever.
@@charlieodom9107 LOL sometimes it's nice to get that bad shot out of the way. I lose my first ball almost every round!
"A strange game: the only winning move is not to play."
-WOPR
😂😂
Misses 3rd putt.... “I Love golf I’m having fun.” My go to line
I like to think I'm getting better value for my money the more shots I play
@@benroads5460 That's what I say with my 6 handicap friend, "hey I paid the same price you did and I get to play twice as much golf."
Thank you for getting straight to the point within 10 seconds! Too many people drag their intro on for 15 minutes.
Great point. With most vids, the more 'involved' the intro tends to lead to less helpful information.
Switching to 8iron bumps instead of 60 degree cut out a ton of strokes this year for me already good to know I am not the only one who does it
My mates watch me make this kind of shot several times every round and say “oh nice shot” etc when it rolls out near hole. Then they pick up a wedge or putter when they’re in the same situation 🤷🏻♂️
I'm with you. I use my 8 iron mostly and occasionally I pull out the 7 iron when more run out is needed.
I was taught to use a 7. Either way it has really changed my game by not using a loftier wedge.
Not me, I find the 8 iron too long to make comfy chipping, its blade is smaller, and I don't practice it a lot. Whereas my 50 degree I know intimately, use it all the time, and can chip like a demon with it. Guess which one I chip best with... I will use my SW when I need it higher and stopping closer, and I will use my chipper for short chip and runs. But never a 7, 8 or 9 for me thanks.
Same here. Number 3 also leads to a lot of number 5
I feel personally attacked. It’s like Rick was watching my last round... 😂😂😂
Lmao!!!
lmao, ditto!
Same
Love it, golf is one of those sports where I think psychology plays a HUGE part even in non-competitive play.
Rick: "How many of these mistakes do you make?"
Me: "Yes."
Exactly what I was thinking. All of them, often!
No
On the 5th tip ricks like “when ever you have a night mare on the last hole, say a three putt.” In my head I was thinking for me it’s probably a 5 putt 🤣😅
That's when I don't even make the green😂😂
For me its 2 chips and a 3 putt, or my typical par 3 hole.
I quite like hitting a tee shot close to the green on a par 3....then 4 putting for a 5
In a high school tourney, I got on a par 5 in 2, and 8-putted. It was the first hole
The ball was within a few inches of the hole so I'll settle for a 3 putt.
My biggest mistake: feeling the pressure from the people behind me... everytime i try and smash it to impress them and i just lose all my balls loooool....
Kinda sounds like you need to get your ego out of it🤣🤣
Its worse when you catch a group up and they let you play thru on the next hole.... Only for you to shank or toe the tee shot a grand total of 50 yards into the bushes, in the mother of all slices.
@@notmenotme614 also trying to play too fast to get ahead not to hold them up too long which also leads to the aforementioned shank lol
time for me its playing to slow, either my partners or the group up front, I play best from instinct, the fast the better!
My biggest problem is that I play in a men's league where the members seem to think they are playing against a stop watch, not the score card. Heaven help you if you take two practice swings on a delicate wedge shot. If it continues, I may switch to a different course next year.
Your comment section is so refreshing. So many humble people who admit that we are amateurs who enjoy playing this amazingly fun game. I will be a sub forever!
The Rick and Run changed my whole game. Thanks Rick
The mistake that made me quit was caring about my score. now I'm playing again I don't care about my score and I love it.
My buddy started doing that years ago. I had also quit before that. Last year he tried talking me into golfing again. When he said we do not keep score, I said I'm all in and have been loving it again. No longer getting beat up in the clubhouse having a cold beer with someone adding up my bad score and hollering out 102. We all know how good or bad we are. Way more relaxing and way less frustrating way to play.
I just play match rather than stroke play. It's so much more fun.
You are correct. My best rounds are when I am not paying attention to the score. You are also not supposed to care whether you made a good shot or make a put. You focus on each shot and do the best you can and not worry about the result.
Last year I turned 61 and stopped keeping score of strokes. Now I’m just having fun. My score is the measure of great shots over duffer/skull/worm burners. And I laugh way more than all of my golfing buddies! Life’s too short to keep score (It’s a metaphor) ha ha ha ha ha. Be safe and Be strong out there!! Cheers
I know I’m guilty of all 5. Have a tee time this afternoon. Going to work on these today. Thanks as always Rick
This was one of your best videos for sure. I think you hit the nail on the head with every single point. I started doing every single one of these tips you gave about 5 years ago and it completely changed my game. Positive thoughts, and not dwelling on previous bad holes is so crucial. Golf is such a mental game, you can't let it get to you. Always focus on the next shot, calm down and get lost strokes back through smart play. I'm going to share this video to a few of my golf buddies that desperately need to see this.
Some of THE BEST instructional golf videos on all of TH-cam. Thanks!
Got one of the Garmin watches and it has helped immensely with knowing my club distances.
5:10 - Absolutely brilliant advice.
Great tips! Started using the 8 iron for longer chips and it has lowered score by about 3 shots. Rolling sooner is much better to get it close. Also thinking positive allows for much more fun when playing. Thanks for the reminders and keep the videos coming!
Very helpful tips Rick! Thanks so much!
I smashed like. Now my phone screen is broken😂
lmaoooo
Funny
For me, having emotional attachment to shots ruins my game.
The less I react, the lower I score.
Fantastic tips, I’ve just found your videos and the change has been amazing. Last week I watched your video on grip and it transformed my round and I finally found some consistency. I’ve watched a lot of other channels but your explanation is so good for the new golfer I’ll be following you for a long time to come
hey rick, i’m just starting the game and have really enjoyed all your videos they’ve been so helpful to me. i’d love to see a video of you playing a full 18 holes and talking us through your entire thought process of what clubs to use when and your thoughts before during after a shot and anything else that goes through your head. congrats on nearly 1M!
I was just on the livestream so came over here to watch this
Same
#Rickto1mill. Even if I was paid I couldn't miss your vids.
So helpful !! Thank you Rick👍🏼🙌🏼
Thanks for the Tips Rick.... My golf game is getting better because of you...
Negative thoughts are literally costing me 15 shots.I swear one time I had a good 2 holes and I was confident.And my score dropped 12 hits.from avg
Anyone else notice Rick has upped his editing game! Loved it in this vid!!
Yeah, the head exploding? Was hilarious!
He got an editor he doesn’t edit his own videos
Great tips - already taking strokes off my game. Real practical advice - love this guy
Been watching your channel for many years. Always enjoy and this one was another helpful one!
It’s unbelievable he does everything simultaneously
I managed to figure out what they where under the red line, more time to practice 👍🏼. Good video rick 🏌️
Congrats 👊
Always helpful advice. Great teacher.
Thanks for the tips! Very helpful.
Love the content, keep up the outstanding work! For me, over-estimating how far I hit a shot based upon those few magical memories :)
I feel like you’ve been spying on me at the golf course! All 5 spoke to my soul!! 😉👍🏻
Great tips. Putting off the green is consistent with the idea of playing to your individual skill level. I'm falling in love with the game again after several years of 1-2 rounds max -- always was a high handicap golfer and still am, with such little consistent practice. But my biggest score improvements lately have come from recognizing, and playing to, my skill level. All the golfers I play with are better than me, so separating my shots from theirs and making decisions that suit me (such as putting instead of chipping, playing a 3 wood instead of a 5 iron on a 250 yard shot, etc) have helped immensely.
Great tips. Makes a lot of sense. Thank you for sharing.
I’ve been here since the beginning when his first video came out and now he is here almost at 1 million subs
The first teaching session I ever had, the golf pro taught me a very valuable lesson that sticks with me to this day:
#6: "Never follow a bad shot with a stupid shot"
So you've just hit your drive into the trees. You can either poke the ball back out into the fairway or you can try to be a hero and hit a low punch shot under the branches and through a two foot gap that'll get you 100 yards closer to the hole. Do you take the glamor shot or the safe shot? (I've since perfected a low 5 iron punch shot that I can keep below 6 feet but only use it if there's a three foot gap between the trees - my aim's not that good!)
Excellent advice. Your overall golf instruction is fantastic.
Thanks again for all your help...keep up the great videos
When you hit 1 million subs, we will need a "Don't make these 1 million stupid mistakes that will ruin your golf" - lesson
Always remember what you said before ...... A Bad putt is better than a bad chip. 👍⛳
Such a good video. This is so helpful and so easy to practice and work on getting better at all the points you raised. Kudos to you Rick, and kudos to you Craiggers.
This is great!! Helped me so much!!!
Don’t hit enough club 😂
Also another big mistake: people that get upset of a bad result from good shots/good swings
LOVE this video Rick! Those were some tips o plan on bringing to my next round. Much appreciated.
Such a good, AND TRUE , video. Really liked this Rick.
cant wait to see him point out everything i do😔
I can relate 😆👌🏼
"When you can putt"
I feel so vindicated from the side looks I get from putting off the green when I don't want to risk a bad chip
Jack Niclklaus says the best advice he got from Arnold Palmer was exactly that, if you can putt the ball from off the green, do it.
I learned a lot from my father , whom is also an avid golfer... 9 out of 10 times a decent putt is going to be better then a decent chip.. best golf advice I ever got . Putt when you can.
Thanks for the reminders.
Great tips Rick. Thank you.
Rick saying - “STOP IT” at the end reminds me of getting told off for bad habits as a kid, now I’m getting told off for my golf bad habits 😂
Can’t believe I didn’t hear” put it down and twat it as hard as you can”
Excellent video! These 5 tips will help all golfers. Well done.
You are the best instructor period. Was on vacation last week and had a really rainy day. So I spent 8 hours of your videos. Loved watching you beat peter with the beautiful shot over the tree to a couple of feet. Thank you for always making me better.
Biggest mistake for me is underestimating my distance on particular clubs.
I don't have that problem. My mind selects clubs based on the distance I was hitting 10 years ago. When I think "8 iron", I need to reach for the 5. :-(
Yeah because you expect to hit it bad but then hit it good and it goes over
Playing badly for 17 holes so you pick a longer club.... Then you hit the best shot all day.
Straight into the bushes way behind the green.
I recently purchased a WoSports range finder so I no longer have the issue, at least hope🤞
Who else came straight here from Instagram? 👍🏼
🙋🏻♂️
I did
Great video Rick! I noticed I did quite a few of these yestarday on my local course. Will 100% be watching this video again before my next round to help me lower my round! Keep up the great work champ!
Excellent video Rick, thank you !
Day 14 of asking rick to review noodle long and soft golf balls
Number 5 applies to me big time. Once I've screwed up, I crawl inside my head and ball up on the misery couch. Then my game goes to hell.
Same. Just went through that shit yesterday after the 14th and completely bombed the last 4 holes. Just always try to remind myself that a bad day at the course is better than a good day working lol.
Great tips Rick. I especially like the one about the break going up the hill versus down the hill
so simple and yet so helpful!
"I make all 6 mistakes" - sandbagger
Point #3 has been the best advice I’ve ever had. Both with the lower loft and the putter option!!! Rick you legend!!!
Great video, particularly found mistake 1 and 5 useful, thanks!
Watched this for the second time and shared with my grandsons again! Good sound advice. Thanks Rick.
Great video! I’m 40 years old, played golf my entire life. Played at the college level and feel I understand the game better than most. I’m fortunate to have a 14 year old son who is very talented. The things you speak about in this video are things he and I have conversations about almost daily! They are very simple but extremely crucial to being successful. It is so GREAT to be able to show my son this video to validate what he is learning. As most of us know, a teenager doesn’t always listen to the advice we give then until they are older! Thanks Rick, videos like this are why I encourage my son to follow you.
What a refreshing channel. Thanks for the solid content. keep up the good work!
Thanks for touching on the short game. Great tips as I add a lot of strokes around the green. I'll be working the bump and run more often and taking better time to read a green. Cheers! Keep the top quality content coming!
Recently discovered your videos, and this one in particular was VERY helpful to my game. I fell victim to #1, 2, 4 and 5. Struggled with lack of focus and this video put things in perspective for me. Eliminate negative thoughts and THINK about the hole/club choice/swing. I played so much better this past weekend. Great drives (just a couple slices), irons, and around the green i DID NOT use too much loft. Paid great dividends - Shot an 87. Better than my usual 90-94'ish for me. Thanks Rick.
GREAT tips Rick! Thanks! 👍
Excellent tips. Thanks
I just started golfing and have been enjoying all of your videos!
Great video thanks Rick!
Entirely the best tutor on TH-cam...learnt a lot from this guy.
Fantastic tips. Thank you.
Rick you're awesome! Just wanted to say your content has helped me improve my game TREMENDOUSLY. This is my third season playing golf and Im currently a 6.9 handicap. Thanks again brother, be well!
Some of your best advice to date. A great video.
Good advice Rick. Thanks
Great advice. I have been working on #1 and #5 this season. I am not a great golfer so it is easy to focus on what could go wrong but I have been trying to focus on what could go right and it is helping. Because I still make my share of mistakes I have been really trying to let them be one off events. Don't dwell on it and let it ruin your next shot. My score has been coming down because of more good shots after my bad shot. Thanks for the advice Rick. All of these points I see in my game and I can work on.
Made a concise effort to improve on 2. Now have to work on the rest of these 5. Thanks Rick.
Really really valuable advices !!! Thank you !!! They are lifetime advices and maybe, in a certain sense, extend to life in general !
I can not thank you enough. I've been watching your videos for almost a year now. And you have helped me so much. I started this year in hcp 11.6 and now I'm at 0.2. Your videos are outstanding
This is my first year of playing golf and your videos have been very helpful. Thank you from the USA!
Great video. Reallly helpful.
Great advice Rick, I’ll take these tips out on the course
