Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel RickShielsPGAGolf. This TH-cam 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.

Watch the podcast with Sam here: th-cam.com/video/n7A_vwY8y84/w-d-xo.html
Loved the podcast Rick !
I'm hearing Guy has been promoted 😂😂
@@stevenjames9487 I know right , he makes such amazing videos
Why was there a chubby puppy just walking down the cart path like a regular golfer on hole 2😂 is that a normal thing over there?? Cuz absolutely no one was phased by it lol

Could you do an episode on mental focusing. Sometimes it’s the mental side that gets me. Anxiety with random players or taking someone’s bad attitude and letting it affect you.
I was 7 under after 10 holes on a course I had never played before. It was the round of my life. Then I hit the pirate ship on 11 and my score tanked from there.
Pirate ships are scary. Thats totally understandable. How did you do going thru the hippo's mouth?
🤣👍
I was like “wtf is the pirate ship!?” 😆😆😆
@@billwebster4760 I couldn’t and ended up having a kid with her instead 😂
You had me in the first half, not gonna lie
Sam: shoots 67 - “Man I played like crap today”
Me: shoots 85 - “I am a God among these mere mortals”
@Repent a straight path huh... hrmm... maybe that's what I need to break 80
@@paullee1521 I strait drive is always a good start
@Repent jog on
@Repent and the Lord said....."Fooooooooorrrrrrrreeeeee"
Lol
New to golf and never really watched pro golf. Ive never heard of Sam, but he seems like a cool and humble dude. Always willing to joke around and keep it light-hearted, a true professional. Gained a fan today.
He plays on the European tour, I had to look him up because he sounds way more American than English
Welcome to hell buddy
"It's been a few days since he's hit a ball, and no warmup." Ah yes! The REAL weekend-warrior public course test! Lol. Seriously though my local course is 9 holes, no driving range. For league, you basically get off work, go straight to the course, "warming up" consists of half-assedly stretching and swinging a club around while you have a few sips of your first beer while you're waiting for your turn on the first tee. It's real blue-collar stuff lol.
That's real golf tbh
Sounds amazing!
Poors
Yep
Thats the only type of golf I know lol
You need to do a ‘top gear’ styled series. Tour golfers playing ‘reasonably priced’ course. See who can go the lowest all playing the Worsley Park! Would be an epic series!! Get a score board going
Damn That's a great idea! Would be fun to watch!
Awesome idea 💡
This is a genius idea!
Apart from his home course not being reasonably priced
Brilliant idea even get the same score board they had on top gear aswel👏🏻
I aim for 65 as well when I'm standing on the first tee. Last time I got 55 on the front 9, best achievement ever
I had a good lol
Many thanks
I also aim for 65 when I'm on the first tee. 72 on the second....
It's only about 1k when I'm done
Exactly what I was thinking when he put down the claim at 65 -- "I can do that on the front nine!"
Loved that Sam responds with thank you every time he is praised. Says a lot about his character. Really jumped out at me as watching.
Well bought up and insanely talented.
What impressed me most is that he didn't lose a single ball or take a single penalty on a course he'd never played before. That alone separates the men from the boys
What a good sport Sam is. In miserable cold and wet conditions, no complaints, no excuses, just a smile and great play. Inspirational stuff for us below average golfers. 👍😀
It’s because he knows that any muni course golfer that would talk crap about his play today he would dog walk them and take their entire bank account heads up. Plus he has nothing to prove to us mere mortals 😂😂😂😂
💯 came across like a great guy
Exactly. When we watch golf, we're watching the 8~10 players (+ Tiger, of course) who are playing GREAT that week . . . meanwhile, another 50+ golfers are playing "mediocre" (for them), which means better than the best player in your club . . . every week.
A pro, plays good-great, on 40+ different courses every year, muscle pains, bad nights of sleep, whatever. Sam is a PRO!
Most peole who play think they are below average golfers but if you shoot 90 or below you are better than average 100%.
Whats hilarious is we call this great play, but Sam called it a "3" on a scale of 1-10 LOL
This is what we have all wanted to see. Well done Sam for putting yourself out there and showing some real class. Love Sam's swing and attitude
Honestly, watching Sam (and always Rick) struggling playing golf is what humanizes it, and reminds me that bad shots don't make the player bad. Two classy guys for sure.
I grew up and played with him in a junior golf tournament in Florida and man he was prodigy back then shooting 5 under at USF the Claw course. Just straight up beat everyone. It was a sight to see.
I live in Tampa area and play the Claw. That course is tough!! To shoot a -5 in a junior tournament is absolutely insane!!!!!! 💪🏼
(6 handicap here) This is literally the most educational golf video I've seen in a long time. This teaches a lot about what it takes to be a good player. I really enjoyed seeing the difference in shot set-up habits between his level of play and a regular player. Just curious how good his putting would be if he was on his 4th day of playing the same course and was familiar with the greens. (pro tournament style) Thank you so much for this and please try to get more videos in this style.
67 and another day would easily had 4 more puts.
4 tournament days but it also depends on what tour he’s on. If he’s on one of the bigger tours, they play practice rounds and are on the property several days before Thursday.
Wet greens that haven't been mown !
Also I feel like normal people courses don’t have the insane breaks that the tour courses have. My courses at home have so many straight putts it’s ridiculous. No complaints from me though lol

I caddied on the American PGA tour in the early 90s. One of the players I was working for went and played a round with me a regular public course one day. He shot 61! He was just a guy who struggled to keep his tour card, not a guy who was winning on tour.
... the standard required to maintain a card is unbelievable eh.
The average tour pro is 3 strokes better than a scratch golfer. Or it was last I read
@James Flynn I would think it's more like 6-8 strokes better. I was a 2 handicap for years and I wasn't even close to the worst tour players.
@@57Jimflynn ... nope. My friend who has a card gives me a shot a hole...I play off four. He often drives the par fours that I hit a wedge into. Birdies for halves anyone?
... btw, that's me having to make the birdies for a half. Not him. He makes eagles.
He often breaks 60 on a course I shoot around par on.
Seeing a tour pro playing in person makes you appreciate how good they really are
100%. I have played with couple guys that have played in PGA events. At couple local golf clubs. One played in a British Open. Dude got out of car, swung a speed stick few times, then shot 65 with 2 bogeys. Whole other level.
SR down
Oh my got I’ve found my favorite person watching my other favorite person it’s a miracle
Most D1 college players would've been disappointed with 67 on that softball tract.
For sure. It gives a whole new perspective to the expression "next level"
Sam does not seem to play a bad shot it's just the green speed that got him.super impressive.
how good is he, just amazing, and so so easy to listen to as well. A very humble man and it is also a credit to you to have quality golfers giving their time to be on your channel
Thanks for showing the tracer shots. I’m seeing this more in golf coverage now. It makes it so much more enjoyable to see the shot forming in the air rather than just waiting for the landing.
It’s an absolute must at this point with the technology
give my channel a look then maybe, i just hired a guy to film and edit with shot tracers! 👍
Tracer shots are dumb graphics for kids. Puts me off watching modern golf. Well that and the absurd driver head size. Between the huge driver heads and the tracer line it looks like a looney tunes cartoon.
@@poocrayon4588 go eat crayons…..
Seems like a very genuine guy, looks like he'd be lots of fun to be around. Also the things I'd do to shoot 4 under in my course is immeasurable lol. He made it look easy even when he says his game was garbage.
Sweet job man!! Completely ruined watching the video with your comment showing he got 4 under as a banner across the video. Well done mate, appreciate it.
@@maxpowers5910 Don’t read the comments then before watching video. Purpose of this is to comment on the video after watching…lol
@@maxpowers5910 What a weird comment to make, thanks for letting everyone know you’re an absolute knob, well done mate, appreciate it 👍🏼
@@jetswhiteout961 go jets go!
Genuine? English fella talks with an American accent 🤔
Sam is a class act with a terrific attitude. Didn't have his A game but always positive, and focused when it matters. Hope it makes it big.
Really enjoyed this video as I have often wondered how a pro would perform on my local course. Rick you hosted this perfectly. Complements to Sam as he demonstrated that professionalism in golf isn't just being able to hit it long, but in maintaining a courteous, calm, and positive demeanor. I think he also had the foresight to play casually, and not hyper focused to mirror how most amateur's play.
Ricks smile after Sam drops the birdie putt on the first hole is classic.
Ear to Ear
Rick - “I’m looking forward to this shot Sam.”
Sam - “K”
🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
Just saw that part and I started dying 😂😂
Thanks so much for doing this! Much like a lot of golfers, my buddies and I always discuss how a tour pro would do on a regular course. This was fantastic!!!!
It takes a tremendous attitude to be this bloke. All the pressure yet he stays humble and gracious. Sam I salute you!
Love Sam's attitude through the whole thing. Just having fun playing his game.
He seems like such a nice guy
Comes across as nice fella - confident without being arrogant
I agree fellas he seems like a nice kid, loves the game and has a great mindset for it! I can learn a lot.

Loved watching how a tour pro dissects a course that we play. If he played the same course again in good weather he’d probably shoot 62 now he has a feel for it. Seems like a really chill dude too.
A few years ago we had a couple of former University of Georgia team golfers come and play our semi-private course in middle Georgia. They had never played it before and both did pretty well. It is a par 71 course from the white tee playing 6750 yards. One of them shot 67 and the other shot 65. Mind you, it was a warm, late summer afternoon so the ball flew a bit better through the air. Having a nice cold beverage after the round, one of them commented that he thought the course wasn't that tough but course management was the key since there are so many risk/reward opportunities that a few bad decisions would cost several strokes. I mentioned that course management is the only way I play. It was a fun day for all.
This was fun. All of golf should be filmed this way. Was Waaaaaay more fun to watch. You really feel like you were out there with them chatting it up and the off angle shots. SUPERB Rick!
These events could absolutely put a cameraman with every duo and stream it to a members only website where you pay extra to be inside the duos. They'd make STUPID money. Really surprised it hasn't happened yet.
How are you?
@@GearycoI think that a pro golfer might find that distracting, especially in a tight match with money on the line. Same reason why it’s only on a special occasion that it happens in other sports. A major league pitcher would not want to be miced up on every single start, that would get extremely irritating
Sam shot a 58 on my home course in Orlando (course record, of course!). That's an average of 3.22 strokes per hole folks! My brain cannot comprehend such a thing, but he's just that damn good.
Which course was it
I got to play mayfield which is a cheaper course but still nice
@@krisarnold4940 ChampionsGate CC
From championship tees or whites? 🤣
@@powderdescent Golds. 7,100.
Rick is the only reason why I'm back playing golf, I stopped for 5 years and he made me feel the excitement for the game again. He reminded me why I loved the game so much and his enthusiasm is transcendent! Amazing channel Rick!!
Me and my dad never keep score at our local course
Same here. Rick, Peter, and the barstool foreplay boys provide so much motivation to get back on the grind wheel!
Same here.
100% relate to this.
It's a great combination between both teams. Amazing collaboration which brings the best of you all.
This was soooo fun!! Just stumbled across your channel. PLEASE do more of these! Love it!
What impressed me the most is that I never felt like he was going to make a bogey (except for the par 3 one). Every time he got a par, he had a birdie opportunity and the par was an easy tap in. He was so in control! Man’s got game!!!
Guus, you are so right! He never really was in any trouble at all and he made golf look so easy on what I would find to be a long, difficult course. I can’t wait to get back out there- and not look anything like him!
It just shows how good these guys are compared to us normal Joes.
Was not impressed with his putting, though
It’s crazy at watch this man be disappointed in a round that 99% of the commenters wouldn’t even dream of ever having. Awesome video, hope you can get more tour players to do these
Playing from red tees playing my best I would be happy with 20 over
Enjoyed this one, Sam seemed down to earth and not too full of himself. He seemed to have a healthy dose of humility, which will keep you in check on the bad days. I know, because I suck at golf but at the same time am driven to get better at it. Great video!

Amazing to see how our typical golf courses, and their level of preparation drastically effects the level of golf, especially the green speeds. Playing stimp of 13 or 14 is your usual and then playing our muni styles of 9 has got to be frustrating
Love how Rick just casually walks around with a wedge, just ready to go incase Sam gives him the go ahead!
Or maybe he have to have a club at least, to walk around the course tho without playing?
This is strange, yesterday I was playing golf at my local club and thought "I wonder what a pro would score here... someone should make youtube series bringing pros to local clubs". Get out of my head Rick.
Golf digest recently did this with bubba Watson. He broke the course record on a course he had never played before firs try. There's a video of it.
@@jeffreyyoungblood7438 yeah that was crazy...imagine if he played it four days in a row
People think all pros are going to shoot sub 60, but they are conditioned to think that all pros shoot like the top pros for the week. When watching a tournament, they generally only show the top guys, so people assume everybody is knocking it to 10 feet from 180 every time.
The general population's expectations aren't realistic, even for pros.
@@larrybud I try to tell people this all the time. It’s like mainstream media sensationalism but with golf. They make you think these dudes aren’t human. I came to this realization when I watched tiger pull hook one into the trees at the memorial one year.
@@cameronpope8523 For sure. A lot of guys shoot 75-75 near every week to miss the cut.
I used to play in Punta Ala, which is one of the toughest courses in Italy. Matteo Manassero used to come there in the summer to train when he was in his prime. The average score in Punta Ala for a scratch golfer is over 74, Manassero scored 65 on a regular basis.
Sam comes across as being 1, very humble and 2, down to earth. All up he seems like one hell of a bloke 👍
Sams a Great sport for doing this. In Difficult conditions with no warm up he made a 4 under look ridiculously easy. Just shows how good a tour pro is compared to us mere mortals.
When you see a tour player play it makes the game looks so easy and effortless. But it always show the skill and commitment it takes.
Love this!!! I would love to see more tour players playing public courses like this.
Great video! I particularly enjoyed how you show the red line so we can see the path of the ball, especially when he spins it like at 6:57.
These type of videos of tour pro (or ex) professionals playing with cheap clubs or local golf courses are my favourite. Brings home just how phenomenally good these guys are. Keep them coming Rick!
Yeah I know nothing about golf, and all golf shots and swings look identical to me normally. But these videos really make it obvious - even to an idiot like me - just how good they are. Just how much better pro golfers are than regular golfers.
Also I love the thing he does with these videos and he uses his editing software to show you the path of the ball in a big red line. Whenever I've watched golf on TV, they never seemed to have that, and instead always just seem to track the ball in the air even though with a shot like that, there's no reference points in the frame to tell you where the ball is or where it's going and how fast it's going, the shape of the arc, etc. So I dunno if modern day golf presentation on TV already does this thing Rick does. But if they don't, they desperately need to, because it demonstrates far more clearly what's going on
I'm glad I found this channel. I never knew golf was so fascinating. I might actually try and play it again (well, I have never played on an actual golf course, I've only ever been to a driving range, and I was never any good at it, but I'll try again now)
This was soooo good to watch. The level of consistency and his self-honestly was very refreshing. I watched in awe, and can only say that "I so mispent my youth". Marvelous golf on an unknown public course. Oh, and Rick, you would make a semi decent caddy LOL
There’s a great content idea. Caddying in a pro tournament.
Aye cos let's face it he really isnt up to much

Still can’t believe went to school with this guy. Hell of a player representing strong down here in Florida 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Years ago, my brother-in-law played a round at a public course in Austin, TX with a PGA Tour pro, Omar Uresti. My BIL (who is a scratch golfer) outdrove Omar on pretty much every hole, and they were tied after 8 holes at even par. Then Omar birdied the next seven holes, ended up shooting 65 (which was the course record at the time)... my BIL shot even par and got SMOKED 😂
Omar probably needed to get used to the greens. I think that is the biggest thing for pros playing new golf courses.
your BIL is a legend, though.
@@toddinthemiddle He IS a legend... and a + handicap. Seeing the gulf between him and a journeyman tour pro was eye-opening. Most people can't comprehend just how good these guys really are, and they play courses that are more difficult by several orders of magnitude.
Circle C g.c.?
@@lessmith5285 No, it was Roy Kizer, the week it opened. My BIL corrected me and said Omar shot 64, not 65.
Much respect to him for taking part in this. Well done Sam and well done Rick for getting him there 👏🏻👏🏻
Sam seems like a real class act. Some people just have that humble confidence about them.
Yeah that’s most people
@@BridgeStamford ....... What.......
Agreed, seems like a nice lad
I don't golf, but watching this was awesome. Love watching top athletes do their thing. Big kudos to Sam and Rick.
worst day golfing is better than the best day working or fishing.
This guy is an absolute legend haha.. His laugh is classic and never lets anything get to him! Well done!
I’d really be lucky to get 67 on the front 9 on some of these courses you guys play. Fantastic skill and a gentleman. Thanks for all the great content.
This is a terrific idea and I love the way you display the flight path as a second view. I would really love to see more of this “pros on the average course” stuff and you do that interaction extremely well my friend. Great video!!

It's actually a pretty cool idea Rick, you should do more of this.
Definitely became a fan of Sam... Enjoyed watching this and the easy going style . I played every sport an American kid could and golfing by far is the toughest sport. Keeping emotions in check is all mental.
It's great to see players of his quality that are so down to earth, Sam is a top bloke, big fan here 👍
@sotuur aeei You're in the wrong place if you don't like golf 😆
Yes… any tour level players are just so good!! To me what makes them so good, isn’t the great drives or shots into the green. But how they navigate trouble. I mean … he’s literally stymied under a freaking bush.. and makes a Ho-hum par! Ridiculous!!
No doubt the wet greens and slow speed of the greens and cold weather made focused putting hard. Sam did a good job of keeping it together. On a good note his swing is wonderful to watch.
Sam's such a nice young man. Thanks to him I'm a new fan of his good luck in the future.
Sam *breathes*
Rick : “Sam that was absolutely bloody amazing, you could have not done that any better.”
lmfao
Lol
He did have his face lodged in between those cheeks…
"Literally took that air in and just breathed it out.....amazing, unbelievable Sam, just made it look so easy."
A quick story that this reminds me of. In the early 1980's Seve Ballesteros played an exhibition game in a course close to me in Ireland. It was the day after he won the Irish Open. The course is about 6900 yards from the tips, so with equipment changes probably played then like a 7200, 7300 yard course plays these days. It's hosted all of the biggest Irish amateur tournaments, so it's not a cakewalk. I'm sure it was set up fairly tough, it must have been the biggest day in the club's history. Anyway, without his regular caddie and focusing more on chatting with the spectators, he casually knocked it around in 68, four under. Bit of an eye opener.
Moyola?
Watched Sam play high school golf in central Florida...many kids want to play in the pros but he was one everyone knew had a great shot at it. It's great to see Sam doing so well.
I too would like to have that off day with that score! Great video... goes to show you as well how some of these guys on tour kinda have it made... adapt and overcome.
That was one of your best. Love watching a tour pro play what to us mortals is normal course golf. And coming away at -4. So cool. Thanks to all involved.
My golf game is non-existent but a friend has been harassing me to go out with him. I've been binge watching your videos and various tips and tricks and my last time out was significantly better! Don't expect to see me on tour, ever, but thank you for all the info! Great content for somebody starting with next to zero skill
My biggest tip is to try and find a level of comfort in your swing. Dont try to hard, its just a game. If you have space to practice callaway makes great foam practice balls. They will fly quite a good distance. The thing i like most is the ball flight is pretty accurate. I use them for pitch shots in my yard and its more about contact and my swing. Working on my take away and follow through. Best of luck to you. Golf is so much fun, and theres tons of beautiful courses
if you go to have fun and enjoy your time, there's nothing better. equipment is needed, but doesn't need to be expensive. I bought a second hand driver fer 40$ plus tax. I hit as far as my buddy's 250$ driver. i can hit farther with his, but its about finding your own game/style
This was my favorite video in your lineup, Rick. Great content!
At my club a PGA professional in a Scottish PGA event recently broke our course record and shot a 60 around a par 72 course with a standard scratch of 73
we had a college guy from nc state shoot 59 on a par 72
Really dope segment. This definitely helps us beginners out. Especially calling out what clubs, range, and showing their form in slow motion.
I think Rick thought he was "pumping" him up and being his cheerleader but honestly, I feel he just put tons of pressure on him to be perfect. I counted "Come on Sam" 27 times! Talk about pressure Rick geeze. No wonder he shot poorly.
Wow. That was so much fun to watch. Things I picked up:
1) His attitude was so positive, relaxed YET focused.
2) His swing was ridiculously repeated over and over and over and over. And over. He hits a baby draw. Over and over. And over. Wow. And hit one cut shot - on demand. Again, wow.
3) His attitude is so freaking positive but I said that before.
4) His 4 foot putts are MONEY. Those were probably WAY more important than his superb ball striking!❤
Love this. It's such a requested concept and I never get tired of seeing just how good the pros are compared with "normal" old players.
Would love to see you seek out the easiest courses
would love to see that as well, especially for newbie like me
This course looks on easier side. Greens were average so it fucked up his putting. And rain. With better greens he’d have shot low 60s easy

I have been to few pro ams in Ireland and competitions often wondered how a pro would do in our shoes if to put it that way on a normal course. Hats off to pro golfers great admiration for them and the game
To be so good he seems so humble. I love that. Love the videos Rick.
Literally the equivalent of “Can he do it on a rainy night in Stoke, though?” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love how Rick is walking with a club like he may need it to fight off a dog at any point!
We do that for the Canadian Geese in N.A
This is the first video of yours I’ve ever seen, and was a great watch. I’m just getting back into golf, and was amazing to see even pros hit it into the trees like the rest of us 😂 What a great sport Sam was. Really enjoyable video. Subscribed!
The best lesson is the attitude and demeanour required to be a great golfer. This was such an interesting video, I often wonder how a pro would do on th3 courses I play.
That course is still amazing, come to Texas and play on dead grass and dirt lol
Out in Tyler TX right now and even the country club out here has dead spots. It’s murder. Though the dry conditions make for nice long drives that just roll out a good ways.
Hey, Rick! This is a great idea. I’d love to see more videos of tour pros playing normal golf courses, maybe even a par 3 course! Also, speaking for myself it’s fun to watch you play as well with the pro. Keep these videos coming, they’re fantastic. Sam is an incredible golfer and I look forward to following his career.

@@praisejesusrepentorlikewis6218 I know a great therapist
Cool! Giving yardage club selection and shot strategy on each shot including putts would be soooo helpful. 👍🏻
Love this video. His attitude is admirable! What a nice swing!
Rick can do a whole series of this and it would be phenomenal. Very difficult to do but still. Crazy how effortless that round was for him. Their games are just on another level
A course I used to caddie at had a good number of pro players hanging around and I caddied for a handful of them- they are definitely playing a different game than us
@@quiksix25 A lot of people will tell you the difference is their short game, but as you saw, when the greens are not perfect, it is still not easy. For me on an average course the main difference is just the accurate distance off the tee. A low amateur would score about the same if they dropped their ball in the same spot.
The difference comes more on the harder tracks where the penalty for missing the fairway or green is greater and there are more unlevel lies, and the greens get faster. At that point they really are playing a completely different game, and it is one most amateurs never even get to play. Even if you do play one of the championship courses, it isn't set up in championship shape and it the tees are rarely at the back.
@@TheToledoTrumpton I agree to a point, one thing I noticed was that they take max 3 strokes when they're anywhere near the green, and usually 2 (saw more than a few chip ins as well)- as you can guess though these aren't your average courses, they host a PGA event every year RSM Classic
One thing I noticed about sam’s swing is how stable he is with his lower body. Almost no movement in the backswing and then just explodes through the swing
What a top lad, also no easy to focus with the production format you had. Good video, really enjoyed it and yes, incredible golf.
Watching this, I was thinking "Guy totally sounds Canadian, but I've never heard of him before..." I just read Sam's bio, and it all makes sense now. Born in the UK, moved to the US when he was 5. Essentially US English, with just lob wedge worth of British influence, and presto! Canadian English!
You picked up another fan today, Sam. Kudos for making time to do this!
I love this video. The club swing speed is unreal. Plus the sheer amount of ball control is amazing. Lots I can personally learn from his form.
Love this type of video! Would love to see you seek out the easiest courses and see how low you can go!
Amazing vid,great stuff Rick, Sam’s swing and beautiful finish and balance joy too watch
you should do more of these ones. Good to see pros on a regular course without caddies etc.
I played for 25 years and my biggest goal was to get better control of backspin on my approach shots but couldn't ever get more than just a quick one hop stop and never any backspin. Then I played on a pro course just after a tournament and everything became clear that I was just on crappy courses all my life. Every approach on that pro course spun back completely off the green and even as much as 20 yards of backspin. I had taught myself a bad habit without even knowing it.
try a Playstation 2. best scores you'll ever get.
Those guys play on carpet. We play on hardpan shit, even in the "fairways"
Great fun Rick. The learning curve when watching and listening to a pro's analysis and shot formation decisions is always a a tremendous insight for my own game. I would recommend all amateurs save up and pay for a pro to pay 9 or a whole round with them every now and again as the learning curve is exponentially better than lessons on a practice range.

95 for me today, 2nd round this year, breaking 90 is my goal by the end of it, great video as always
The dude in the red on the back 9 is a monster. You notice how he outdrove Sam on most holes? Plus it looks like he always knows where the area is> Great looking Public Course.
Took up golf three years ago to replace my weekend work as rugby union referee, love your chat through the technical seasons and challenges, they help my game understanding a lot. Fingers crossed that the lessons help me lower my handicap to somewhere under 15. Just need to add a driver to my bag now….
If you have the time to practice, and put on some more muscle, you can hit a 6 iron 220 yards like me-off the fairway like tens of thousands of other amateurs. I'm in my 60's and I occasionally use a 2 wood off the tee, but muscle back irons are 'my bag.' And stiff steel shafts since I started age 10. 2 iron; 6 iron and 8 iron are mostly what I use, find clubs you are naturally good at. True.
Decent handicap you already have. I would like lessons, but never had the time.
The trick of course is the short game to lower your handicap, from 150 yards including putting. Work in the sand traps, too. I learned from playing with my Dad, the Dallas, TX city amateur champ for 5 years in a row, then Ft. Worth for the 3 years we lived there, then hosting his own tournament annually at Incline Village for fun.
Had a smile on my face the whole video thanks guys, looking forward to seeing more of this
Absolutely incredible that he’d give him self a 3 of 10 on 4 under par. if I break 90 im a happy guy lol really puts the tour guys and gals into perspective. Great video!
These professional golfers show that they are great people!!!! Also, you did an excellent job of narrating the conversation and golf.
No one is good but God. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. That is why Jesus came and died for our sins on the cross and rose on the 3rd day. He died for sinners and people need to realise they are a sinner needed to turn from sin cry out to Jesus Christ to forgive them of there sins confess with there mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in there heart that God raised him from the dead and they will be saved. ❤
