    Rick, what a beautiful course. I love the links style courses! Also, because it rains there, unlike south Texas where I live, everything is green. Wander into the rough on my course and you are in cactus, black brush, cat claw, hardpan, etc. That said, some of the thick grass, scrubs and bushes you have there? Not fun either. Best of all, why I really like this course you are on, the views and no triple digit heat. I'm a relatively new subscriber, and love the channel. You are ALWAYS upbeat. Thanks for the nice journey.

    1. Great video
    2. Rounds like this are why I have the mini driver in the bag. Some days, I just need to put the driver in time out and give up ~25 yards off the tee to keep it in play.
    3. My wedge shots go farther when it’s wet, even when I try to keep things as dry as possible. I’ve given up on trying to fight it, and just play them 5-10 shorter now.
    I put a x-flex, heavier 3W shaft in my mini driver to help with dispersion.

    An extra 10 to 15 yards distance isn't better than being in play more often, never mind off the short stuff. Chasing distance when you're already able to knock it close to 300 yards with a forgiving driver straight is silly if you're spraying it everywhere with the club that 'can' get you the yards but is missing everywhere. But Rick knows this. No idea why he doesn't listen to his own advice on his review channel! Great golf, good to see you not vomiting all over your wedges!

      @billyp492 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes,the driver certainly misbehaved and cost him a few shots with the lost and out of bounds balls off the tee but it was the terrible putting on the back 9 that killed his momentum and led to most of the dropped shots and ran up his score.He putted so well and so consistently on the front 9 and had a great front 9 score.had he made a few more of the putts that he missed on that first 9 he realistically had an opportunity to be 5 or 6 under thru 9.the bad drives and bad putting on the back 9 totally caused him to lose his momentum and confidence and had him and us thinking of what could have been...but, Rick still played a pretty solid round despite the struggles on the back 9 and was obviously disappointed with the way he was playing on that back 9 but never seemed to get demoralized and I think that was due to his caddie Flynn.i would actually love to see Rick play more golf with a caddie as I believe it would help his game and help improve his confidence and I hope that Rick walked away from this round with the confidence in knowing that his game appears to be improving and that front 9 definitely showed us and himself that he is most definitely capable of playing some very good golf.That first 9 was impressive and will hopefully be a confidence builder going forward.

    @ThatRockGuy หลายเดือนก่อน +12

    Rick has an issue that no-one seems to notice or discuss, namely, he leaves too many putts short. In this video, 9 of his putts didn't reach the hole leaving himself short and not giving the putts at least a chance to drop in. 3 or 4 of those putts would have dropped if he got the ball to the hole. In *almost* every video he leaves half of his putts short, and it often costs him 3+ strokes per round. Unsurprisingly, the few times that he improves this stat, he breaks 75. As a comparison, watch how often the pros leave it short as a percentage - it's an anomaly. If Rick can get most putts to the hole, more will drop, and he'll break 75 much more often.

    • @samuelknott5586

    • @jackhilditch8241
      @jackhilditch8241 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Few issues with this comment
      He’s mostly playing a new course these days, every time he plays, various in speeds and grass types will more often than not, lead to putts left short.
      Leaving putts short isn’t always a bad thing, the make percentage for pros outside 10 feet is around 40% and then from outside 15 feet is around 23%, so bare that mind in reference to the new course each time and different greens point.
      So yes leaving it short like he did on the third isn’t great but look how wet it was. Quite often in the uk the putting green has no pace similarity to the actual course.
      There’s a fair amount of putting gurus that will say getting past the whole is in some cases the worst of the two options from longer range.
      So yes he could improve on this but it’s not as simple as you’re making out. He gets a lot of stick and I don’t think this helps

      So until I learn to hit it properly, it’s staying out of the bag.

  • @lepepus
    @lepepus 24 วันที่ผ่านมา

    As most pros keep telling us, you need to move on after bad shots and focus on the next one.... I think this is one of Rick's biggest weaknesses. And also focusing on the outcome like "needing birdie" here or "eagle there"... what is needed is always the next shot to be good.

    Rick I posted this afew months back mate, when you swapped from the Ping G430 to the Cobra Dark Speed your driver went from your most dependable club in the bad to the worst mate! BIN IT! I recently bought the Darkspeed 3 wood and on THE RANGE it added 15 yards to my gaming 3 wood BUT on the course I can't hit it! It's up on Ebay for sell and back to my 28 yr old TaylorMade Bubble Burner!!! Reliable and 260 on a center strike! Go back to the Ping mate, makes sense, great video - thanks

    Great video Rick. I can't help but think on driver you were chasing a few extra yards by going cobra when you should have stayed ping.

    Rick!!! My man! You set a goal on the first tee box of break 75. So 4 over or better. Which you usually don’t do.
    Half way around you change your goal to par or better, force birdies and feel disappointed.
    Stick to the process my man. You were killing it. Enjoy the success and stop focussing on failure.

    Lived in Northern Ireland for 4 years. Love the place so much and golf is religion there. Within half na hour of belfast there's over 30 courses. Very much looking forward to this series and also I now have to go back to NI for some golf

    Rick, it's breaking my heart that you haven't moved on from the Darkspeed driver yet. I am totally on the same page as Guy.... it's just not your driver. I am nearly positive that you need to be fitted for a Qi10 Max. Changed my golf life this year! Even when you hit it in "the studio", you were killing it! Come on, let's do this! Nothing more frustrating than not being able to get off the tee.

    What a beautiful course, built on top of rocks that are at least 250,000 years old...
    Flynn was spot on, doing exactly what a caddy should do.
    I have to wonder whether saying we could get blah blah under par is something that shouldn't be vocalised, the target is break 75, leave it at that, putting expectation out there only adds pressure, you never hear the pros saying I'm going to shoot 6 under today, they stick to their processes and the score is just something that happens as a result of good process.
    As for the driver, are bad shots not a result of a bad swing? Better club face control would result in better tee shots.
    Brilliant episode Rick, I'm really looking forward to seeing the next one. ✌🏼🕊️

    I think Chestfield Golf Club’s, in Kent, clubhouse is older.
    According to there website the clubhouse is mentioned in the Domesday Book and it is recorded that the Manor was once a gift from William the Conquerer to his half-brother Bishop Odo. 🤷🏽‍♂️

    Hi Rick,
    I do believe Dunfermline Golf Club in Fife, Scotland has the oldest clubhouse in the world (albeit it wasn’t originally built to be a clubhouse)… the dates are somewhat unknown but there are claims that some of the building dates back to the 12th century.
    I’d be happy to sort you out with a game if you’d like to record a video here.
    David.
