Great talk guys. St Andrews is the only place I've ever been where I've actually physically felt the atmosphere of the place as I drove into the town. I did a 2month camping tour around Europe in the mid 80's and after returning to London, hired a car the next morning, drove to Edinburgh, stayed in a caravan park (slept in the car!), got up the next morning, drove to St Andrews & walked straight on the 1st tee - couldn't believe it! Hired a set of clubs from the little cubby house there (not sure if it's still there now though) they were John Letters Master Model 4 irons, 20pound deposit, should have kept them! I had 86 with 42 putts. I swear the putter I got was 5ft long! I'll never forget it - Dale from Melbourne, Australia
Rick, loved listening to this. I'm 51, been playing for 36 years, Australian, I did not know the priceless turf was played in reverse, I knew about the 22 holes and reduced to 18. I love the history of golf and what better place to discuss than St.Heaven. St. Andrews is my number 1, number 2, number 3 number 4 number 5 on my bucket list. Throw in the super talented 22 year old phenomenon Min Woo Lee. This was just great listening. Thank you Rick. Keep doing podcasts like this for us Aussies. We appreciate the magnificence of St. Andrews, even if we have not been to the U.K.
I watched a Bryson "what's in the bag" the other day and I was expecting someone who was quite focussed and intense and it was the total opposite, he was really relaxed and really nice. The media portrayal of him just didn't match up to what he was really like.
Funny how that’s usually the case with media portrayals, I also binged Bryson’s TH-cam channel, the dude seems like a passionate golf nerd 🏌🏽♂️ it’s really nice seeing how he interact on and off the courses
I love playing "The Himalayas" putting course to the side of the caddy's hut down the first. Not many places where you can play a putting course on/next to a Championship course with this history. I'm not from St Andrew's but I got married there as my wife studied at the university. We stopped the wedding car after leaving the church and got pictures taken on the Swilken Bridge, the golfers were happy to wait - nice one!
Hi. Glad to hear you had a greate time in St Andrews. Residents of St Andrews means actually living here. A holiday home wil not give the 240 pound Links ticket unfortunatly. It is other ways to get the ticket, but they are more expensive and more dificult to lay your hands on. Thats also incude a waiting list. We will love to play with you next time you visit. AND its a lower prise when you play with a ticketholder too. Best regards A.
Interesting discussion about scoring and cheating. When I play I keep two scores. My “be kind to me score” where I don’t count the air shots, scuffs along the ground and three off the tee disasters. I also recorded my real score which records all the disasters. At the end of the round I then compare the two scores and it motivates me to improve because I know how well I will be able to play when I cut out all the silly mistakes. Just a quick tip that may help someone think differently about their scoring. Great podcast lads!!
The last time I played St. Andrews it was £35 a round while we were waiting for our tee time we went in the Tom Morris Woollen Mill by the first tee where you can sit up stairs and lookout over the course with a complimentary cup of tea or coffee , St. Andrews it’s a fantastic place to be for any golfer.
ST. Andrews is one of my bucket list course to play. My buddies and I plan on taking a trip for 2 weeks in a couple years. 2 years ago we did the samething at pebble beach. It was a bucket list course to play.
We always set rules on the first. Including breakfast ball on 1 if we don't warm up. Ball up or down. We play a little loose in sand because covid bunkers are not properly raked.
Went to St Andres last summer and took my dog for a walk around the old course on Sunday morning, a great experience she ran around the road hole bunker and we walked up the 18th like Tiger, great well worth a visit. Also with not so many tourists you could get a tee time if you wanted.
I question your passion for golf when you are both underwhelmed by Phil’s win at Kiawah Island. It was a fantastic tournament on a bucket list course, won by a man who has rebuilt his body and used every bit of technology to maximise his potential physically. He then went ever further and trained his mind by playing 45 holes a day so he could maintain concentration in the big moments when playing 18. Yet you were more excited about McNuggets.
Rick is a Louie Oustsheizen fan, that’s why. Or however you spell it. Louie was absolute class in his interview after his round which makes me a fan of him as well. I think that’s why in my opinion. 🤷🏻♂️
Guy - I am on exactly the same goal as you - play ALL the Open venues. I have played Royal St Georges and next week I am hoping to go to Scotland to play St Andrews, Prestwick and Musselburgh. Princes at the end of July. Then will try and tick off the expensive ones lol.
Best Golfing Moment: My last shot at St. Andrews the only time I got to play... 1/2 64 degree, 1 skipper to a foot in the afternoon with a large crowd.
I live within 2 hours of some of the finest golf courses in the world. And the “Old course” is the one I want to see. Golf or walk on Sunday, doesn’t matter.
Main thought from another great episode was “Is Guy’s mic broken?”. Keep doing your thing, great content, loved the St Andrew’s content so far and looking forward to upcoming podcasts. Just make sure Guy’s mic doesn’t need fixed for next video.
It's the child's meal you ordered 😂😂. Just for comparison... This is my standard McDonald's meal order for myself A large big mac meal with a chocolate milkshake A large mcchicken meal with a diet coke 2 double cheese burgers and 20 nuggets. That'll be why I'm 20 stone 😂😂😂
I live in Louisiana and when I first saw the old course many years ago on a grainy satellite feed before hd TV's, I was perplexed. It looked terrible. I couldn't imagine anyone wanting to play that course. But now that I play golf and understand the game - - And the HD broadcast where you can really see the course, I think it's gorgeous and I would love to visit, much less play.
I was up there a couple years ago and couldn't believe how accessible it is to the public, i was telling my kids to get off the fairway and then i saw people having a picnic, was very confused.
Played with a guy named Ben yesterday. My 2nd 18 in two days. My round was pure ridiculousness from 85 to 100 which is not normal for me. But Mr. Ben this guy was an insane golfer. I've never seen a guy hit a 5 iron 220yds. Ben hit a drive 390+ yards basically 400yds. This guy is like 5'7" normal thin framed, no huge muscles. When he hit an iron the ground shook, I could feel it in my feet. His irons are traditionally Lofted. Caviat though Ben couldn't putt to save his life. 10 birdie chances within 10/15ft and missed all of them on the low end. If Ben practices his putting, he can be on tour no problem. I know now what it feels like to play with a pro level player. Every shot was insane, everytime. It was a shame that he couldn't make his birdies. I wanted him to make them all. I putted way better. I had a fee one putts and made some clinchers. Putting was great ball striking was nasty. I hope Ben finds my comment and practices his putting because I'd really like to see him go pro one day, was a good guy, didn't swear, had patience with my terrible golf and we also had a couple with us and was the lady's first game. To say the least she was just getting into golf but has a long way. He had patience with us all.
Look out for the Taylor made twos competition kingbarns and another course which changes each year for £295 it's a great deal they did kingbarns/PGA gleneagles
So question - if you can do what you want on St Andrews on a Sunday... Could you not just take a few clubs down and have a bit of a pitch and putt? Or if you're mad, just play the course.
I agree 100% Rick. When you play for money you play by the rules. If you are playing a friendly and you improve your lie a little bit I really don't care. If you aren't playing for money your score doesn't matter to anyone but yourself. When I play a round with my mate (wait, that didn't sound right) we have alternate mulligans. If I take a mulligan I can't take another one until he does. It works really good for us. FWIW, I don't keep a handicap. If I kept a handicap I would play differently.
Rick describing that 'mammoth' maccies. My standard order is pretty much the same. Large meal, and another burger on the side. If I'm with anyone nuggets to share as well 😅
I had the enjoyement watching min woo lee up close at Aussie open few years ago.. Only a teenager and on the first tee, he hit it further than Jason Day.. He was impressive.. No surprise he made it on tour.. No doubt I think he will win tournaments, however a major? As u guys both said. Tour players are extremely talented. BTW.. Great to see Jason kokrak win again on US pga...
About the cheating part - the best way to prevent it is to determine what kind of golf are you going to play? When I play with friends who don't play that often. We decide before we are going to play. So for beginners we have easy round golf. If you have a bad lie drop it on the fairway for 1 extra stroke, same for the bunker. I play for real and let them have a good time.
From someone who doesn't play golf. I'm 50/50 on the "dear Rick" bit. I wouldn't count the air miss as a swing, just because that seems too serious, however hitting the ball and it scuffs along the floor, unlucky, that counts. Suppose can come up with your own rules, so maybe you let them off with the odd scuff. If you're not going pro, then does it matter that much 🤷🏻♂️
According to the rules it is the intent to strike the ball that counts as a stroke. You get practice swings that don't count but if your intent is to hit the ball then it counts as a stroke. I wouldn't count it if I'm playing with friends but you could very well get disqualified or have penalties added to your score if you don't count it in a (tournament *edited). Sometimes I think people take the rules of golf way too seriously if you are playing friendly rounds with nothing on the line.
Hey Guys, When we play table tennis, the winner gets to hit the loser in the back (No shirt) with table tennis balls. It has a nice sting to it without being OVERLY painful & the welt looks really cool. I think the pain wall is a great idea
There's no way if that course was in America no one but the elite would be allowed on it. It would be completely private and probably a life long wait to join.
@@MatthewJBD yeah, if you intended to hit the ball, count the stroke. If it was a practice swing, then don't. If you are dishonest, your playing partners will catch on.
He said if there was 2 big names competing at the end it would be more interesting. Like Phil and Brooks aren't 2 of the biggest names in golf lol maybe I'm biased being a proud American but I love US major tournaments. There's nothing like The Masters on Sunday.
Fellas, The only way to get a satisfying match with a suitable reward for the win is to take what these guys have plenty of (money) out of the equation....loser between Brooks and Bryson gets the retired Rick cheaters punishment, 2 iron ring sting via the winner! I’d pay to see that!
Gift shops? Ummm try if that course were in america you wouldn’t even be allowed on it. That course would be private and available to “select” individuals 🤦🏽♂️
In 50 years I have never played for money. I think there is nothing more poisonous. It makes it harder to deal with cheats, whom I have always called out immediately and loudly. Do it right and you won't lose any friends.
On the dear Rick discussion. The guys a high handicap golfer, and may have got his handicap by doing those things. He’s maybe cheating himself more than anything. If he plays by the rules, he might be a 36 handicap golfer, and just get more points opportunities without cheating.
I know this is "normal" for your everyday lives...but it gets confusing for some of us Yanks when you say quid instead of pound...I had to look up that quid is a slang term for money and just replaces pounds. Love your content...keep it coming guys!!!
@@chillit9440 Regardless of nationality, the purpose of communication is to make oneself understood. They failed in this respect with regards to the use of their slang term. Sorry if that offends you.
@@GrumpyGolf4 it’s so American to comment this rather than just learn a little quip (which is pretty well known globally). Type of guy to go to another country and get mad when the servers don’t speak fluent English. Like I said big world outside of America ya goofball. Learn some stuff!
Not sure about educating cheats Rick. Most cheats know they’re cheating. You telling me anyone you’ve ever played with doesn’t know that an air shot counts as an actual shot?! Or that duffing one in the bunker actually counts.
Their handicap system already accommodates the cheating. If he wins regularly from cheating, his handicap goes down, and it should balance out. It’s likely he is cheating himself more than them. I might point it out in that way. Makes no difference to the other guys, but it is fooling yourself about how well you play.
If it was Lee Westwood winning(which wouldn't happen). You would have been interested. Im sorry it was a bad take. Constant criticism from not Rick about American golfers. You never seem to like any of them. That was a hard golf tournament to win. Look how many people struggled in the PGA Championship. Phil deserves a ton of credit.

Also, I think Jubilee is a better track, and the story behind it is even better! Terrible, but epic!
I prefer watching the show more than listening. Getting the visual feedback means a lot.
Any chance of adding keys to the timeline of where the conversation is in case we want to zip around to topics?
Yep, *timestamps* would be awesome, instead of having to guess or watch the bits ur not so interested
53:43 is Bryson vs Brooks!

im glad most of the podcasts are being uploaded as one video...soo good

Remember walking on the 18th as a kid on a Sunday. St. Andrews is special for this, imagine Augusta did the same thing
That McDonald's Order is EPIC, love that side of a Big Mac and 20 Nugs.

Golf memories - 13yo, eagle 3 iron from 200 yrds on a par 4 and the celebrating group in front on the next tee. Very first eagle!!!
Min Woo Lee just won a Scottish Open that was a fairly decent field. He is the best young player
What about a week in the life of rick shiels
Wasn’t the brooks interview after the 2nd round ?

Kingsbarns looks epic, £328 green fees so definitely would just be for a treat
Look out for the Taylor made twos competition kingbarns and another course which changes each year for £295 it's a great deal they did kingbarns/PGA gleneagles
I ADMIT IT, I did cheat... I've ordered my headcovers. Who shall I pay my extra fee to? Big Frank (AKA Mulligan Man)
So question - if you can do what you want on St Andrews on a Sunday... Could you not just take a few clubs down and have a bit of a pitch and putt? Or if you're mad, just play the course.

I certainly never turn to you guys for dieting advices given what you devoured on your drive back home from St. Andrews 😂
Tie guys hands behind his back next time 😂😂
Any suggestions of companies that arrange golf tour packages to St Andrews from outside of the UK?

Shots fired!

I had the enjoyement watching min woo lee up close at Aussie open few years ago.. Only a teenager and on the first tee, he hit it further than Jason Day.. He was impressive..
No surprise he made it on tour..

Who would y’all have your money on in the ring Brooks or Bryson
I'd say brooks personally
Bryson has 40lbs on him but brooks has anger built up inside
Josh Greer such an excellent kid as well. Wish him luck when he goes pro

Well Rick, can't say i'd listen to somewhere correcting my number of strokes when they get a ruling wrong anyway..... =D
The best player Rick has played with Is surely Westwood or Harrington
I might have a flutter on min woo lee after that praise though
Who counts air shots? Who's to say its not a practice swing?
Any player with integrity.

@@MatthewJBD yeah, if you intended to hit the ball, count the stroke. If it was a practice swing, then don't. If you are dishonest, your playing partners will catch on.

Screw playing for money; the loser of the Bryson v Brooks match has to caddie for the other at Augusta. Let's put some real skin on the line here.
Best golf podcast. Can you make sure you guys are evenly spaced at your desk? You guys look off balanced.
Hi Rick
Cheaters chat, very random but hilarious.
So who was banned from golf
Gift shops? Ummm try if that course were in america you wouldn’t even be allowed on it. That course would be private and available to “select” individuals 🤦🏽♂️
when i play i just say before hand the rules i wanna play
In 50 years I have never played for money. I think there is nothing more poisonous. It makes it harder to deal with cheats, whom I have always called out immediately and loudly. Do it right and you won't lose any friends.

On the dear Rick discussion. The guys a high handicap golfer, and may have got his handicap by doing those things. He’s maybe cheating himself more than anything. If he plays by the rules, he might be a 36 handicap golfer, and just get more points opportunities without cheating.
They should play for each others favourite car... Or better still to be able to crush the others favourite car....
Brooks and Bryson argueing with the ryder cup coming up do you think its staged for that build up?..
There on the same team. Makes no sense
What, wai- a fresh air shot counts as a shot??? Turns out I've been inadvertently cheating all these years. 🙄
Pros also play and practice everyday with trainers and intention. Give yourself a break RIck.
If you‘ve ever played golf in China you‘ll realize how affordable golf is in the UK and Europe regardless how pricey the green fees may appear 😁
Guy... Please setup your microphone before you start then stop fiddling with it! 😂
I know this is "normal" for your everyday lives...but it gets confusing for some of us Yanks when you say quid instead of pound...I had to look up that quid is a slang term for money and just replaces pounds. Love your content...keep it coming guys!!!
There’s a big world outside of America yeehaw
@@chillit9440 Regardless of nationality, the purpose of communication is to make oneself understood. They failed in this respect with regards to the use of their slang term. Sorry if that offends you.
@@GrumpyGolf4 it’s so American to comment this rather than just learn a little quip (which is pretty well known globally). Type of guy to go to another country and get mad when the servers don’t speak fluent English.
Like I said big world outside of America ya goofball. Learn some stuff!
Not sure about educating cheats Rick. Most cheats know they’re cheating. You telling me anyone you’ve ever played with doesn’t know that an air shot counts as an actual shot?! Or that duffing one in the bunker actually counts.
Their handicap system already accommodates the cheating. If he wins regularly from cheating, his handicap goes down, and it should balance out. It’s likely he is cheating himself more than them. I might point it out in that way. Makes no difference to the other guys, but it is fooling yourself about how well you play.
If it was Lee Westwood winning(which wouldn't happen). You would have been interested. Im sorry it was a bad take. Constant criticism from not Rick about American golfers. You never seem to like any of them. That was a hard golf tournament to win. Look how many people struggled in the PGA Championship. Phil deserves a ton of credit.
