@@luigihoratio5101 I think you're misunderstanding? It's not that if Rick wasn't married his golfplay would be better (maybe it would be :p) but if he wasn't married, the bromance going on between the two, would have ended in a romantic dinner :D
Whats frightening is that James is such an unbelievably good player and there are still levels above him. The skill ceiling in this game is terrifying.
When I was playing a lot there was a guy in my office that would air mail the 250yd fence at the range and he was a scratch player too. I asked him why not turn pro he said I'm not good enough, you need to be under par all the time to be a pro.
@@Pulse2AM Keep in mind that shooting under par at your average country club layout is pretty easy to do as well. You have to be able to break it at tournament conditioned courses with rough grown out and super fast greens. To hit it close on those greens you have to play short of the pin and run it over, or you have to use a contour and get the ball to run towards the hole. The rough is so thick that it's hard to reach the green from 140 yards sometimes. Even if you can manage to break par consistently at the easy country club layouts, that's still not good enough. If you could manage to shoot 65 or so pretty much every time on an easy layout then you might have a chance at improving enough to play on tour. I worked as an assistant professional at a course that hosted a PGA tour event. I could shoot 2 under or so at that course when conditions were normal. When we set it up for tournament conditions from the tournament tees I would struggle to even shoot in the 70's at all. We had two par 4's that played over 500 yards from the tournament tees, and the course could be stretched to over 7600 yards.
@@brianr6661 I hear you. Our home course is Rancho Park, they held the senior tour there, women's and I believe the regular tour at one time. The point I was making is a scratch player is not good enough to be a pro on the PGA tour.
James is unbelievable. Get out the cheque book Rick and sponsor him for a year, document everything and make it into a series. Rick could caddy for him also.
Man James is such a nice dude. He’s the type that if you get a birdie on the 18th will make you feel special and be excited for you, even though you’ve just finished hitting 120
Rick is all class. He is genuinely excited to see someone play so well. All class!!! Too many golfers I see at my local club hope other players play bad instead of just trying to play their best. Cheers Rick and keep up the great content. Hands down the best golf channel on TH-cam!
i played with a guy last weekend that started to try and dual with me on the back nine. probably because i birdied 10 and 11; he didn't like it. i always play my own game and beat him by 1 :) it only feels good because i knew he was trying so hard
Need to get James more involved in the channel! It's amazing watching the difference between tour level, and pro level. Quality content Rick, even if it's at your expense in this one...
Crazy thing about this video is if I played with Rick he’d be without a doubt the greatest player I’ve ever played with and he’s in awe of James. Shows how good the pros are! Also James seems like a good dude, very humble for how good he is
Exactly...and yet James struggles to keep up with the best players on tour....and the best players on tour could not keep up with a prime Jack Nicklaus or Ben Hogan or Tiger....and I couldnt get close to playing on the same level as Rick .. who is in awe of James....level upon level of skill.
Tour pros are just on another level. James is incredible. The amount of work and commitment that went into becoming that good and consistent is mind boggling!
We'va had Rick with one club against Jon Robins with 14, and we've had Rick with 14 clubs against James with 4. Now all we need to complete the series is John Robins with 60 clubs against James with... a crazy golf putter? A cricket bat? A snooker queue?

No one has more fun with these “pros versus Joes” type matches than you do Rick. These videos are always a blast to watch. Your love of the game shines through. I’d love to play 18 with you someday. Beers and lunch on me after the round.
Put a link on your TH-cam with a funding for James. I would donate a hundred to see him try. How much could we raise with 1,5 million subs. Should be enough? Lovely man that James and what a player!
It’s ridiculous how good James is! He makes it look so easy and it’s really provoking me! 🤣 I really enjoy watching you guys play. More of this content please 😜
Yes, he's talented but he seems like a smart guy with a realistic outlook on his prospects. If he thought he could realistically compete on Tour he would be out there. As good as he is, I think he knows the average Tour player is just a little bit better.
@@scottcarroll9201 It also costs a fortune to play on tour if you don't have big backing from sponsors. Lots of players have the ability to compete on tour, like I'm sure James does, but the pressure of knowing you have to make a putt to get some of the prize money to pay your mortgage breaks a lot of great golfers chances of making it.
@@GP-tt2te you're probably right. We don't see them play casually. The stories are that good guys hit low 60's regularly when gambling with each other.
James is just pure class. The type of guy you'd get paired up with and just be wide eyed the whole time while he's (outwardly) half trying and beats you by 30 strokes.
Stuck here in Ontario Canada where they have had the courses shut down for a month. These videos have been tying me over till I can get back on the greens again. Thanks for the great videos Rick!
Before I gave up on golf about 10 years ago I'd taken to going round with a little bag and 4 clubs. I chose the same as James except I left the driver in favour of a 3 wood/3 hybrid/3 iron (depending how I was feeling). It was the most I ever enjoyed golf, and I shot 4 over through 9 holes on my last ever game. By far my best (half) round ever. Watching your channel has made me want to pick the clubs up again for the first time now I'm in a better place, so thank you for that.
James is an absolutely brilliant golfer! But am I the only one who thinks he looks like a cartoon villain? Like a nice cartoon villain? Thanks for the content Rick! Top as always mate!
Big difference I notice in their swings is James is so quiet and connected while Rick seems to have more moving parts and less connection if that makes sense.
It’s crazy to me how big the gap is between you two. Not an insult to you Rick but a salute to how much work James has put in to get to where he is. James dispersion Ricks dispersion My dispersion 😬
One of the reasons why I started watching your videos is you were always positive. The last few videos, you have been quite down and hard on yourself. Your commentary is showing your frustrations. I love your videos, and I hope you can find your relaxed, positive self again!! Much respect for being honest about your game and how you feel when you play
James is a great player. No doubt about it. Rick, you are a great teacher and have helped SO many people improve their game. I always recommend people to you out on the course and I've heard others mention you as well. So to each his own Rick. You have helped me SO much!! Best lessons EVER!!! Cheers my man!!
I've been watching Ricks videos for years, love them all and have helped my golf game tremendously. That being said, When I see Rick with a pitch shot within 100 yards I always say " long and to the right".....shame I didn't have someone to bet against lol.

Mate you just have the best energy and spirit. Golf can be a trial with the wrong attitude but you make me want to be a better player with a better outlook.
watching this video made me realize just how important it is to have a “positive” mental game. Rick’s mental game was like, “i have to beat James” James’s mental game was like, “this is fun”
JR will tell you it is ok when it is fun - when your mortgage, etc is riding on the line - different ball game Q school places Without proper, i mean all in sponsorship, ££££££££s Sounds glamorous if you make it and then make it onto PGA where the money is!!!
Thanks Rick and it's so nice when when you play with excellent golfer like James...He is great with his ball control & swing...All the best James and again Rick thank you so much for all your video...
Wow Rick! There has been a lot of improvement in the quality and the crispness of your videos. I am a regular watcher since 2016. There are sooo many videos on your channel that till now I am not sure if I watched each one. Thank You Rick for keeping me entertained for 5 years(and many more! )! Not tough when we go to the same driving range :)
There are tens of thousands of Golfers who can break par at their local muni courses. All really good golfers who us mere mortals would see as absolute stripe shows, Club Pro, College level players. Yet the PGA and European tour only have a couple hundred opportunities. Makes you marvel at the world’s best.
The average Euro Tour player is probably two to three shots better than James. James seems a smart guy, if he realistically thought he could make it he would be out there.
Really loved the content with James, both podcast and videos. Keep em coming. He seems like such a nice guy and to see the difference in skill lvl is quite amazing. I hope he'll make some youtube videos one day.
The vids with James are great. Absolutely different level of golf. Can you imagine how good the top players in the world are in real life and on a local course haha. James very nice bloke aswell. Great content
These voiceovers work so well, speeds the video up so much. None of this talking and then going through the shot routine, instead just pure slick Rick. Said it again and I’ll say greatest produced videos on TH-cam
It is probably because he has been humbled. I always say that the difference between arrogance and confidence is failure. An arrogant person is someone who has never failed before. A confident person is someone who has tasted failure but is still ok.
Rick, just watched this older video for the first time. Quite enjoyable at a couple of levels. A skilled Tour pro is able to deal with what the average golfer would see as a severe handicap. And you couldn't help but feel some pressure as your "bag full of clubs" wasn't the advantage that it seemed. I think most of us would benefit from taking a few clubs out of our bags from time to time, and manufacturing more shots to develop a better feel for our swings. Did you know that James played in the Open? Keep up the great vids.
Investing in crypto and Bitcoin now should be in every wise individual’s list, some months later you l'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.
I could watch 20 Rick Shiels videos in a row, he crushes it every time…. the videography is 🔥; the narratives are always on point. I don’t care how he plays against a pro, he’s still one of the best teachers out there
Absolutely loved this video. I could watch this all day. No kidding if you’d played 18 holes and videoed it all over three and a half hours I’d watch it. This plus the £70 set with James are my two favorites this year. Praying you’re planning on making James a regular guest on the channel? PS. Just a thought. Why don’t you and Motocaddy team up and co-sponsor James to play another year on tour? Wouldn’t that be amazing?! 🤩
What can you say about James, a tremendous talented golfer who should no doubt be on tour, but an amazingly nice guy, would be a massive honour and privilege to play a round of golf with him, you're a lucky man Rick!! Would like to see more of these videos
Thanks so much for the nice comments 🙌 so glad you are enjoying my videos!

Rick needs to play James again but this time, in addition to having only four clubs, James has to have Rob Potter hit all his drives. Lol

It is probably because he has been humbled. I always say that the difference between arrogance and confidence is failure. An arrogant person is someone who has never failed before. A confident person is someone who has tasted failure but is still ok.
The way Rick looks lovingly at the camera whilst gushing over James reminds me of David Brent when Finchy is in the office.
Ha ha. So true.
James is unreal, I’d love to see him give it a go on tour.
“I remember when I was in the open” had me laughing throughout the whole video.
What a classy player. Also nice to see someone play golf without a cap when it’s not required 🙌🏻
When you've got great hair like James, you don't wear a cap! 🤣
Rick, just watched this older video for the first time. Quite enjoyable at a couple of levels. A skilled Tour pro is able to deal with what the average golfer would see as a severe handicap. And you couldn't help but feel some pressure as your "bag full of clubs" wasn't the advantage that it seemed. I think most of us would benefit from taking a few clubs out of our bags from time to time, and manufacturing more shots to develop a better feel for our swings. Did you know that James played in the Open? Keep up the great vids.
Investing in crypto and Bitcoin now should be in every wise individual’s list, some months later you l'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.
While you are working trying to make other plans, before when you retire, no one will cater for you invest in bitcoin now and be happy in the future.
@Shohag Ahmed That true most people have been having a lot of failure in forex and crypto sector because of poor orientation and bad experts.

I just love watching your videos. Thank you.
It’s irritating how good and humble that guy is at the same time. Quality content again Rick
Find someone that looks at you, the way Rick looks at James 💕😂
Very entertaining. James is a spectacular player and you both have good chemistry on camera. Looking forward to seeing him on again
I could sit for hours watching James on your videos, please do a lot more with him in the future
I just love the genuine awe you show of James' talent, I wonder if a go fund me to get him another year on the tour might be on offer
I could watch 20 Rick Shiels videos in a row, he crushes it every time…. the videography is 🔥; the narratives are always on point. I don’t care how he plays against a pro, he’s still one of the best teachers out there
Absolutely loved this video. I could watch this all day. No kidding if you’d played 18 holes and videoed it all over three and a half hours I’d watch it.
This plus the £70 set with James are my two favorites this year.
Praying you’re planning on making James a regular guest on the channel?
PS. Just a thought. Why don’t you and Motocaddy team up and co-sponsor James to play another year on tour? Wouldn’t that be amazing?! 🤩
Theres 1.5m of us. Lets all put in a quid each to sponsor james
What can you say about James, a tremendous talented golfer who should no doubt be on tour, but an amazingly nice guy, would be a massive honour and privilege to play a round of golf with him, you're a lucky man Rick!! Would like to see more of these videos
Would love to see a tour event with the pros using only 4 clubs
