how was this your favourite video so far? they are two great guys and the match was decent but lets be real there was 0 intense. no big game changer or anything in this match, ive seen a lot better.
It is very impressive. It gets crazier the better the player. I remember in 2006 when tiger hit a 6i 200-210 yards and the very next hole he was aiming for 155 yards with the same club downhill. There club manipulation is just different.
The only bad thing about this match was that it wasn't the full 18 holes! Robbo and Grant play some really high quality golf, it was a pleasure to watch!
Yeah I was disappointed too. Didn't notice the length of the video and settled in expecting an hour and a half epic video with all the trimmings. Good video nonetheless!
I don't have a problem with this, Rick put these two very good players together to create some great content. If he participated in this match he may have taken away from the competition between these two players. Thanks Rick
We are getting spoiled at the moment with all these epic collabs we are being given. Great video, well done Grant for still performing on links, and James is just so solid.
James is incredibly gracious. Winning with class and making Grant feel good about the match. Props to Rick for an excellent idea, and allowing us to see it.👍
James is just such a class act, always love when he's in your videos! Podcast episode with him is also still my favorite so far! Also delightful with Grant of course!
The levels to this game is mind boggling. James's ability to get up and down out of unfavorable lies is the key difference. Always love seeing him on the channel.
The series of videos with Grant have been tremendously entertaining. He is such a likable bloke and it is always a pleasure watching watching James. Great stuff Rick.
The silence on that first green when James was approaching his second putt... that was hilarious and also set the tone for how serious this match was going to be. Great video
OMG how good was that match.. The ice man playing the sunshine slugger !! Next level tension... Next level playing. One of your best ever Rick. Thank you
Funny, was just thinking same thing. Robbo plays like Iceman, fundamentally sound and rarely a bad mistake; whereas opponents will have a loose hole or two which takes them out of the match.
Man this video has everything. The intensity , the course looks amazing, stunning in fact. You’d be hard pushed to name two better natured players going head2 head. It’s also sweet that Grant admires Rick and looks to him for advice when Rick remains staunch in his obligation to remain impartial. It’s just A1 Content.
Had two lessons from James so far at St Anne’s Old Links, great set up!! won my first club competition recently. Really relaxed teaching style and has got me striking the ball as well as I ever have
Love seeing the different golf courses in these videos. As a 52 yr old high handicapper it’s only a dream for me to play these sorts of places. Love the fact Rick can’t walk the holes without holding a club.
One of my favorite videos featuring two of the nicest golfers on TH-cam. You could post a Grant/James match every week and I would schedule an appointment to watch it.
What an epic video! Two absolute ballers. Big fan of Grant and James. Both has smooth, solid golf swings. Cool, calm and level headed. Alot of time for both. Production team keep raising the game too, great work all around!
I played golf as a young teen with my dad and his friends and did well enough to beat some of them. I just got into golf now this past 2 months and got a brand new set of older clubs the Callaway Mavrik drivers, hybrids and irons. The day I got my 5 H hybrid in the mail my wife told me she wants a divorce. It’s been about a week and half now and I haven’t been able to get out to golf yet but watching your videos as of later is really helping me get through my days off when I find myself bored. I’ve only been subscribed for 2 months. I just want to say thank you for the awesome golf content.
I gotta give props to the camera crew. These videos seem challenging to film especially when you have to catch all the action. Kudos to the whole crew and team.
Class. Somehow get a paid trip for James to go out to Grants home track and film an 18 hole match. Great treat for James being awesome on your channel, and an amazing full match that will be. Honestly I think that would be an epic match. Who else thinks so?
TH-cam collabs is the real deal. I was so looking forward to this one and it did not dissapoint. Well played gentlemen and thanks for this great match setup Rick!
I'm still reeling from Christy O'Guy Junior's 2-iron into the 18th at the Belfry, and now you serve us this delicious treat! How am I ever supposed to get any work done!! 😂
"It's been my dream to rake a Grant Horvat bunker." Funny!! So much fun watching Rick and Grant in all the videos, and in this case James as well. Well done!
Grant is a GOOD scratch player, but James is a true Example of a PRO! His misses are so much more playable than Grants!!!!!!!!!! Love the content! Grant is golden right now!!!!!!!
Was literally watching another vid last night thinking about how good it would be to see these two head to head - and then I open TH-cam today and BANG - exactly what I wanted!
I love the production in Ricks Videos, it’s what makes it different from just another TH-cam golf video , intro, music, the commentary, the vibes is just all 👌🏽
I never wrote a comment like this EVER. but what a perfect TH-cam video. just such class displayed by everyone involved. sheesh. i bet the beer, food and conversation after this round tasted soooo good.
Great video and great match Rick! You mentioned this course in regards to your Pebble beach or Torrey Pines. You kind of brought back memories for me. I only live an hours drive to Torrey Pines. I live close to Rickie Fowlers driving range in Murrieta. The only PGA tour event I’ve ever attended was the 2008 US open. Standing next to the green watching Tiger drain his epic birdie putt tying Rocko Sunday on the 18th hole was so electric and iconic, it kind of spoiled me to watch other events. I need to get over it and attend more PGA events as I have several close to me every year. Thanks for the content
Watching your Friday vids has become my traditional start to my weekend. Great to see how golf should be played in a genuine match setting. Many thanks.
Loved this video its been awesome to see Grant over here in the UK. All of these guys are just awesome it would be a great thing to play a round of golf with any of them. Thank you everyone most enjoyable.
Rick and team, this is the best video i've seen on the channel in a while. Some awesome camera work, good editing, pacing, and of course the golf is top top notch
This format has real potential Rick. Would be really cool to see some other TH-cam golfers playing against each other on your channel. I’d love to see golf sidekick on against guy.
Loved this , I was looking forward to it all week, and it didn't disappoint. I was cheering for James, but Grant seems a genuinely nice guy and great golfer. Well done guys , great content again.
I remember James playing Rick and playing with “garbage clubs” years ago. It just goes to show you, it isn’t the clubs that make you good. It’s all about consistency when it comes to golf.
two of the best people/golfers I love watching Grant and James - 18-hole stroke play would be an enjoyable watch for sure. Great golfing entertainment.
hey Rick loved this video❤❤ I loved the commentary from you as a spectator, loved the expression of both Grant and Janes before each shot. I have grown to like Grant since the Solina trip, he is a solid golfer abd an absolute gentleman, James is the ultimate golfer love his easy swing and his temperament is astounding. please have a rematch of this at an iconic course over 18 holes, 9 way too little.❤❤
Probably one of my favourite videos so far. Grant did very well on a links course he’s never played and I love James’ calm demeanour and solid play.
And grant without his own clubs
how was this your favourite video so far? they are two great guys and the match was decent but lets be real there was 0 intense. no big game changer or anything in this match, ive seen a lot better.
The fact James can hit his PW 128 and 147 on command shows how skilled he is. Really awesome video to watch these guys test each other.
It is very impressive. It gets crazier the better the player. I remember in 2006 when tiger hit a 6i 200-210 yards and the very next hole he was aiming for 155 yards with the same club downhill. There club manipulation is just different.
Rick has TH-cam down to an absolute science. The edits, music, intro, and that outro to keep people coming back, very impressive! 🇺🇸
Big shout out to Rick's editors. Rick's contribution to this was walking around with a wedge ;)
@@snowbind I was thinking after I commented I should have included the team too, of course tons of work behind the scenes going on
I could do without the weird cutouts where it does something cartoonish.
Always ahead of the game and why he leads this space
Couldn't have said it better! I watch so much youtube Golf now because of Rick and I barely play myself these days
The only bad thing about this match was that it wasn't the full 18 holes!
Robbo and Grant play some really high quality golf, it was a pleasure to watch!
I was disappointed when I saw it was only 9😢
Yeah I was disappointed too. Didn't notice the length of the video and settled in expecting an hour and a half epic video with all the trimmings. Good video nonetheless!
Grant would have lost by 5
@@O-Heyguys Robbo is one of the best players around links courses. If it had been in parkland Florida courses it might have been different
@@CarlBroadbent no it wouldn't. Grant cannot compete with professionals. He will lose to them 100/100 times.
This is exactly what work from home was made for 😂 next 40 mins sorted
I’m on the same schedule as you! 😂
haha truth
🤝
"Why are companies trying to stop us working from home now?! We work just as hard" 😅
@@Kingwastebackground entertainment = better productivity
I absolutely love watching James Robinson. His golf just makes me feel good. I havent finished watching yet. Go James go!!!
James is a class act. It’s always a treat when he’s on the channel.
seems like the ultimate English gentleman
Rick just sitting in the grass like a G watching two pros make money for him 😂
I read this comment as Rick was simultaneously smirking at the camera
I don't have a problem with this, Rick put these two very good players together to create some great content. If he participated in this match he may have taken away from the competition between these two players. Thanks Rick
@@paulswoodshop1 no one asked
Exactly what I thought lol
We are getting spoiled at the moment with all these epic collabs we are being given. Great video, well done Grant for still performing on links, and James is just so solid.
Legit anything with James in it is always a must click. The club challenges a few years ago were the best
James is incredibly gracious. Winning with class and making Grant feel good about the match. Props to Rick for an excellent idea, and allowing us to see it.👍
James was so even keel vs grant who u could tell really wanted to win
James saying “oh sugar” on that shot out of the rough is my favorite clip of the whole video 😂
We’re in double trouble
I heard "Robo to throw first. " on the 7th green and had to double check i wasn't watching the PDC! Quality video!
James is just such a class act, always love when he's in your videos! Podcast episode with him is also still my favorite so far! Also delightful with Grant of course!

The silence on that first green when James was approaching his second putt... that was hilarious and also set the tone for how serious this match was going to be. Great video
It's great seeing probably two of the nicest guys in the world battle it out. Great stuff!!!
The busiest man in TH-cam golf and the biggest name in TH-cam golf is the content I’m here for! Loving this collab!
We need to see this again over 18 holes, both swings are just majestic and pleasure too watch
Agree. This should have been 18 holes.
OMG how good was that match.. The ice man playing the sunshine slugger !! Next level tension... Next level playing. One of your best ever Rick. Thank you

everything but the poster manning up he is just a hack.....grant asks rick for advice, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
@@darrenstanners7195 He'd beat you on a bad day , that you can bank on 😉
23:37 "pick it up boy" might be the most savage thing James has ever said in frustration in match play; he's just that calm that I gotta fish
Big fan of James, seems a great bloke. Very humble and really enjoy watching his golf
honestly probably one of the more serious videos i've seen on rick's channel. Enjoyed that
Had two lessons from James so far at St Anne’s Old Links, great set up!! won my first club competition recently.
Really relaxed teaching style and has got me striking the ball as well as I ever have

That had to be a 18 hole game!!! It was soooooooo good and as always loving your love for Wallasey G.C!!!
I’m so pumped for this.! These boys are absolute sticks and so much fun to watch.!!!
I really like grant, just started watching his channel after seeing him on your vids, seems a really humble down to earth solid golfer
James' 9 iron out of the bunker to clutch the match was absolutely spectacular.
That's the difference.
Great video

You should definitely organise more matches and do the walk round commentary, it’s a great format
This up close commentary from Rick and the phenomenal competitive head to head is maybe one of my favorite golf videos on TH-cam.
Rick carrying an iron down the first hole even though he's not playing 😂
It reminds me of when you're a kid and watching your dad play
I gotta give props to the camera crew. These videos seem challenging to film especially when you have to catch all the action. Kudos to the whole crew and team.
Always enjoy seeing James on the channel. Would like to see more of these with him, perhaps give Peter Finch a game
That was brilliant Rick, thanks for hosting the match and your commentary. Really big of you mate
Class. Somehow get a paid trip for James to go out to Grants home track and film an 18 hole match. Great treat for James being awesome on your channel, and an amazing full match that will be. Honestly I think that would be an epic match.
Who else thinks so?
TH-cam collabs is the real deal. I was so looking forward to this one and it did not dissapoint. Well played gentlemen and thanks for this great match setup Rick!
What would have made this video even better would be guest appearances from Sophie or Iona on the course doing the commentary and interviews 👌
I'm still reeling from Christy O'Guy Junior's 2-iron into the 18th at the Belfry, and now you serve us this delicious treat! How am I ever supposed to get any work done!! 😂
I absolutely love this course! Managed to play it a couple of times, its special!
"It's been my dream to rake a Grant Horvat bunker." Funny!! So much fun watching Rick and Grant in all the videos, and in this case James as well. Well done!
Grant is a GOOD scratch player, but James is a true Example of a PRO! His misses are so much more playable than Grants!!!!!!!!!! Love the content! Grant is golden right now!!!!!!!
Match play. God, I love it! Pressure on, pressure off in equal measure. Beautiful. Thank you guys.
The teaser trailer had me salivating for this! Nice work 👏
enjoy!!!!
Was literally watching another vid last night thinking about how good it would be to see these two head to head - and then I open TH-cam today and BANG - exactly what I wanted!
Game on! This was a great match!
I am loving the side live commentary, with special guest and everything 😃
I just enjoy watching James and so wish he had his own you tube channel. Well done to Grant. Not his greatest round as he is a joy to watch play golf.
"Just outside the friendship circle"....champion!
The more James I see in content the happier I am!
I love the production in Ricks Videos, it’s what makes it different from just another TH-cam golf video , intro, music, the commentary, the vibes is just all 👌🏽
James and Grant in a golf match is like Mozart and Beethoven creating a symphony together.
Guy and Rick commentating like a real golf match would make it epic haha
07.40 - Grant moving his ball on the fairway - did anyone else spot that? Surely it wasn't preferred lies with the immaculate state of the course????
I never wrote a comment like this EVER.
but what a perfect TH-cam video. just such class displayed by everyone involved. sheesh. i bet the beer, food and conversation after this round tasted soooo good.
LETS GO JAMES!

Rick you could just host these matches alone and crush. Loved the hosting and the golf. Awesome job guys
James is just such a stud. Cool, calm, and plays so good
What a great watch! Grant just didn’t look comfortable and still managed to hang in there. Love watching all 3 of these guys do what they do best!
Might be one of the best matches on TH-cam I've seen so far - loved how close these two are ability-wise. Let's see a rematch in Florida!
Watching your Friday vids has become my traditional start to my weekend. Great to see how golf should be played in a genuine match setting. Many thanks.
Please do more of these, what a match .. loved the side commentary to 😂
Rick's commentary and microphone interviews were so funny and kinda cool, would be sweet to see him do that again in the future
Absolutely LOVE this format…. The GOAT leading You Tube golf ⛳️ 👍🏽
9 holes was such a tease. It was awesome to watch, great work Rick
Two of the nicest guys in golf battling it out- makes you almost want to pull for a tie!
Excellent as usual! Kudos to Robo and Grant. And of course surprise cameo from Guy.....
James’ shot out of the bunker on #5 was so clutch!!
James is an amazing player & such a genuine dude...well played the both of them!
Great vid! Could really feel the intensity between these two amazing golfers. Loved the little interviews in between, they were fun!
Loved this video its been awesome to see Grant over here in the UK. All of these guys are just awesome it would be a great thing to play a round of golf with any of them. Thank you everyone most enjoyable.
Grant: I was gonna ask you for reads and everything
Rick: No
Grant: so right of the bunker?
Rick: Yeah
1:32
Fantastic video. Love watching both guys play, good blokes and players. Thoroughly enjoyed.
Some of the best content I seen in a while, Grant complements every colab. Rick Guy and James you guys are always great. Better luck next time Horvey
Great match. James is so solid - but also very modest. A1.
Super Vid. Thanks to Grant and James and of course thanks to Rick. Cheers from down under.
Made that coach trip to the airport all that bit easier, brilliant vid chaps
Absolutely love how down to earth everyone is. Pure, pure golf
This is the best TH-cam golf content I have ever seen... Both are my fav golfers... Awesome... More pls.
My mouth literally watered when I saw this on Facebook! This was awesome!
25:25 knew he'd be thinking about not damaging the sapling. James is a class act.
Rick and team, this is the best video i've seen on the channel in a while. Some awesome camera work, good editing, pacing, and of course the golf is top top notch
Every video with James is a must watch
The 2 nicest guys. Humble and so skilled. Would be nice to see them in the same team!
I really enjoy Rick commentating on the match play, my favorite part is the questions between holes. Can we have more of these please!
This format has real potential Rick.
Would be really cool to see some other TH-cam golfers playing against each other on your channel.
I’d love to see golf sidekick on against guy.
Loved this , I was looking forward to it all week, and it didn't disappoint. I was cheering for James, but Grant seems a genuinely nice guy and great golfer. Well done guys , great content again.

Oh damn…almost coughed milk out my nose when Rick said “it’s been my dream to rake a Grant Horvath bunker”….classic!

James is always solid. I wish Grant had his A game, but it was a lot of fun to watch. Thanks, guys, and especially Rick for putting it together.
