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.
If you enjoy the channel make sure you hit subscribe and also tap the notification bell so that you are always notified when I release a new video.
Rick Shiels is the most wholesome golf content on the internet. I hope to still be watching this man explain all his shots when he’s 60
Check out Clay Ballard, GoodGood and Peter Finch aswell if you like Rick Shiels bud, they're quite entertaining aswell. Clay's videoes helped me break into single digits from high 20s in 1 year. So i cannot stress enough how good his vids are.
@@Reavix1 And me... ;-)
The ending is class, the man, the myth, the legend that is Rick Shiels!
Even though Rick is a better golfer than I’ll ever be and is my youtubers teacher, tell me why whenever he hit that birdie on Hole 1 I felt like the proud teacher
Don't say that! Put your mind to it and you can definitely be a fantastic golfer! I'm not a great golfer but I'm making it a goal of mine of becoming a scratch golfer. It's going to be hard and take a lot of practice but I'm you to do my best!
I might have given a hearty fist pump when watching that. Almost as if he were in the Open on the final day making a charge.
I think it’s a mix of his humility and self deprecating comments that makes you consider him an underdog; that way you cheer him on. Sneaky Rick, very sneaky.
@@Edgesundermined Sneaky a little cheeky
@@kylenelson8417 hey man, how's your game coming? Starting to get into the swing of things myself.
Can't explain how much I love this channel. I started to play golf 2 months ago and there is so much I took from Rick. I love the channel and I love the way Rick explains things. As a beginner I especially like the fact that he even shows his bad shots. That makes me much more confident 🤣
Rick you made me falling in love with this game! 🤣
I was just saying this exact sentiment to my friend who has got me in to golf. Don't get me wrong, it's fun to watch Mcilroy and Rahm because they're inhuman, but it's even better to watch someone who is close to their level, but also makes mistakes, and learns from them, this channel is outstanding
Me too! I’m a beginner, started a month ago and I watched most of his video- I love golf! Thank you Rick!
@@bencraven1262 TH-cam golfers are not near there level lol
@@sirnash76 Update on 4 month progress?
How are you doing now 7 months later
Love these kinds of videos
love it too 🤙
Nice profile pic fellow raps fan!
@@ArjunBasu2 🇨🇦🦖
I love these prank videos,
Yeah, it’s awesome! I’m watching a bunch of these before my first time playing golf. It gives so much context! Thanks 🙏
8:17 .. I've also tried lining up putts with the angle of my shaft but was kicked off the course!
These type of videos allow me to improve the way I play.
Thanks Rick
Got my first birdie ever today! Only been in the sport about 2 months, have only played this one par 3 course about 10 times. Used your bump and run technique, choking down on the pitching wedge. Hit it from about 35 yards out and it went in! What made it even better was I had a witness! Really enjoy the videos.
I notice you repair pitch marks by digging in and lifting up. I was taught to dig in and push because the ball has compressed the turf outwards more than down. Could you comment please?
I was badly triggered by just this! You create a pocket of air under the roots that kills off the grass.
@@rfsilv02 I think you need to explain that to Rick.
@@keithcoldrick9380 I'm definitely not worthy. Just a former greenskeeper trying to help.
Don't do what rick did haha
I was gonna let the first one slide but when he did the others.... I would think such a veteran of golf would know this, but that was painful to watch..
I love these videos. The offhand remarks are worth a million.
I find Ricks golf instruction very easy to follow. He includes his less than perfect shots too which is admirable. Humility in his game is refreshing. Ricks method of breaking down a series of shots is simple to put into action and personality, I find much easier to understand and easier for me to incorporate into my routine than other instructors.
Will watch this before every competition at my home golf club. Get in the groove, play smoothly, enjoy golf and life.
Video Recommendation: Rick’s Top Choices for different categories of equipment. e.g. best game improvement irons, best rangefinder, best budget golf ball, other stuff like that.
Thanks Rick. This video has changed the way I look at a golf course. My scores have gone from high 80’s low 90’s to high 70’s low 80’s. Love to come to England and give you a great big hug. Don’t ever lose your integrity for the game #BloodySmooth
Thanks to Rick’s videos. My game has drastically improved over the last 5 years. Played one of the best rounds of my life yesterday. Aced a 190 yard par 3 with a 7 iron and had an eagle on a short par 4. Keep em comin’ Rick.
I used to think it was only the courses I played where no one repaired their divots on the greens. I take pride in repairing mine when I hit a green. People who don't repair their green divot and don't rake bunkers are the golfers I hate the most. Great round Rick! Keep up the positive attitude!
I love hearing your thoughts approaching each shot. Top Tier!!!
I like when you talk through each of your shots. I know when I play I always have too many thoughts before each of my shots. I like the content because it helps me play better golf.
I feel like one of my comments from the break 75 videos, inspired this video. I know you don't necessarily picture making these longer video, but I wanted to thank you for taking the extra time to make this one. It is a great insight to see how the mental thoughts to yourself aloud, really show how much of a mental game golf can be. Thank you again!
If you love playing golf and understand how to balance the enjoyment with the frustration then these videos are perfect. Rick gets the balance right. He’s helped me improve and in doing that enjoy my golf.
One thing I've learned watching your videos, positivity is key. You're going to hit a bad shot, it's gonna happen. The more positive your thinking (especially finding silver linings), the better you'll react to them.
I love watching you play golf. Just shows you can try hard, but still enjoy the game
I love how you made a point of repairing pitchmarks, but you need to also do it correctly, you should push the ground back to where it was the opposite direction of impact instead of lifting. Lifting breaks the roots and it will sink again 👍🏻
Agreed but 12:00 - 13:00 should be compulsory viewing, there are so many that just don't bother.
Agreed
I was going to make the same comment about the pitch marks being done correctly.
Same here. I was really surprised to see Rick of all people repairing pitch marks incorrectly. If he is doing what he appears to be doing, he is creating brown splotches on the greens that won't heal for 3 weeks.
"Bad shots are going to happen." -- the whole story of my golf game. Great video Mr. Shiels, thank you. I learn something new on each video you post. I'm very grateful.
I love these type of videos! One of my biggest issue in my game is making the right decision how and what to play. Listening to your thought helps my to improve my judgement.
This is a quality type of video, no one really talks about there shots. Through the eyes of a pro is a winner 🏆. Defo want more of this type of video. Quality again Rick.
I’ve noticed I’ve started talking through my shots more and more lately. Very helpful for more overall game. Much harder for negative self talk to creep into the pre shot routine too
I like Rick's personality and I have boundless respect for his skill. I admire that he does not edit out the "bad shots" that apparently happen to us all which allows us to realize that they DO happen to us all! It teaches us to not get "stuck in the (bad) moment" and to progress to the next shot with an open mind. I was taking a playing lesson from my Golf Coach last week and tried to apply that same calmness that Rick shows us. I had a much pleasanter, better time playing and performed better because I did not "trail the mud" from the bad shot into the next one. I have learned an invaluable psychological golf technique from him because it allows me to craft better solutions for the upcoming game rather than ruminating on a mishit I cannot change.
Love this type of VLOG Rick, explaining the layout of the course, the shot you're planning, and shot trace is great as a viewer. Definitely do so more of these.
8 months later and I keep coming back to this one. Everytime I find new stuff that I wasn't previously fully understanding or being able to fully appreciate. Now I have come along further in my development and I realize new things in the game. Funnily enough, this time I found that desastrous chip shot highly interesting, as I can so much relate to that; they seems to just happen. I goes to show that that happens to everybody once in a while and I will now have less trouble just wiping one away and focus on the next shot. Thanks so much Rick.
I love these types of videos. As a brand new golfer it really helps to learn the mind set one should have to properly navigate a golf course. Keep them coming!
Since practice ranges have closed thanks to COVID, I have not played a lot of golf, these videos help me and my dad.
shot by shot of pre shot thinking, execution and post shot evaluation on the actual course is a wonderful way to improve golf. Thanks and do keep making such videos.
A good golf video makes you want to go golfing - and yours did just that! Also, not tooting my horn but i'm always repairing other peoples pitch marks while waiting my turn. I don't mind at all, its kind of fun. What I do mind is when people tell me.."it's not yours, you don't need to do that".
These videos are bang on what I love to watch, and they help my game so much seeing real world scenarios. Thanks Rick!!
One of the big reasons I love Rick’s channel, has loads of fun videos but gets serious and breaks things down for us as well. Brilliant mate cheers!!
Much love from California
I learned so much from this video. Love the thought process and decision making, and yes even the mistakes. This is a great deal more than equipment evaluation. Thanks!
Love the way you flaunted it after sinking the putt on the last hole. Good job. Plus it was fun to see how you analyzed each hole and each shot.
This was a great video. I feel like it’s something everyone needs to do before each shot to play better golf. And talk about an epic ending! It was like the golf version of a mic drop
Agreed.
"Life has been more bareable thanks to Rick Shiels videos"- Said EVERY golfer who has been living vicariously through TH-cam golf videos during lockdown/s... 👍🍺
THIS is what people need man
Agree totally with the last few comments. I just took up the game again after a ten year break and the tips and hints on driver and iron swings have been invaluable. Didn’t realise how much I had sort of just ‘done’. However listening to the longer videos like this have been brilliant. I’ve been copying the positive speech and seeing positive shots before playing them. The best though is your point that bad shots happen, reset and go again. Top man! 👍🏻
Rick plays better when...
-He talks through the shot
-In chill mode
-Doesn't give bad shots much mental significance.
Nice job mate!
I think we all would 😂
8 inches between the ears and single shot focus is every golfers most formidable opponent.
I absolutely LOVE this channel! 2022 is my return to golf. After 3 kids and just LIFE - I'm bringing back a love into my life. GOLF! I'm 46 going on 30 and it has been very exciting preparing for this season. Thank you, Rick for this channel and keep up the good work!
Love this usually internal conversation being audible. Also learned “early doors.”
I’ll be stealing this one.
What an exemplary presentation. Unbelievably great content. Everyone who loves the game should watch this video every morning before a round. The mind controls the game. Not the other way around.
Need to remember all of this positive chatter when you are struggling on your Break 75 videos.
I've watched golf videos on a given shot or technique but not on actually playing holes. I like this!
This and tubes part 2 in one night!! Talk about super Wednesday 🍿
One thing I found works me is keeping my head down after putting. Not standing up too quickly and trying to think the ball in which really trains your brain how the ball rolls and interacts with the green.
Really enjoying Ricks videos have been watching all the How I Play Golf videos. Great stuff! Keep it up.
You should release your tee’s and club covers as merchandise they look pretty nice !! Also great vid love these kind of videos (although makes me look shit) 😂😂
Make a Scotty Cameron collaboration cover so i can buy it 😁
Glad to see your playing better Rick after switching from blades...
I've been watching your videos for over 7 years now.
You were always way way to handsy mate.
Congrats on finding the right irons. And calming those hands down.
Love these thinking out loud .cool to see different courses also.
As a relatively new golfer, I absolutely LOVE Rick's channel and this video for me has to be one of the best I've seen yet.. so so helpful. Thanks, mate.
Been watching your videos for a while Rick and I’m finally getting my nutter like handicap down however last evening one of our group decided to follow your tips about using a hybrid around the green and he ended up launching it into the next tee off area. He has now fallen out of love with his hybrid and now has the yips around the green will you be doing any videos on how to deal with the psychological problems of the game and why some players when faced with a pond can’t help but teeing off into it.
That is a great call mate! Playing on Friday afternoon (don't all plumbers!?) and always get the yips on the first (a massive par 5!)
@@plumberparts Madness - Watched loads of your videos to rennovate my bathroom and now im learning about golf you pop up here too. TH-cam > Schools, facts.
I once hit an unfortunate duck in a pond off the tee with a 5 iron - that hole has now gotten into my head, its only a short par 3 and I now go for the driver to ensure I get over!
Love this type of video. You are my favorite TH-cam golf instructor. Down to earth instruction and you're the kind of people I would like to play a round of golf with.
Rick buddy I do believe you arent repairing your pitch marks correctly. Dont pry up that tears the roots!
But tapping them back down again fixes that, right?
Drives me crazy when people repair them wrong, still see it all the time.
Yes sir do more of these videos. Nice and quiet round of golf, just talking it out.
First hole: "166...I'm just gonna hit a nice 8-iron"
Me: *hiding my 3 hybrid behind my leg*
I would also hit 3 hybrid
I can hit a 6 iron that far but cant hit my driver that far 😂
Lol I’m either a 5 or a 6 cause they both go the same distance hahaha
Id be a nice 7 lol
@@nacksr thought i was the only one
i was today years old when i realized it was Rick Shiels and not Rick Shields
today years old?
Same here. After 3 years or even 4😂
Hi Rick, A couple of newbies here. Your videos are terrific! The Iron and Driver Guides are exactly what Nancy and I need. In just 1 week we've made major improvements in our ball strikes and consistency. The game is much more fun now bc of your wonderful teaching. 😊😊😊😊
25:19 Me after I tell my friends I think I finally got a hang of this golf thing. 😂
haha, exactly
Hey Rick I really appreciate these videos! I am a newer golfer and don't have an experienced person to play with. This type of video really helps me learn how to approach different shots and learn the "little" things about playing a round of golf. THANK YOU!
Rick the way you fix pitch marks around 12:20 is incorrect
I love that you take the time to explain the shots you're taking and reasons behind the decisions. I've been learning a lot since I found your channel 3 months ago.
Next podcast "So apparently I caused a bit of a controversy on my last vid with how I repair pitch marks..."
Rick is the best in the biz! Golf channel should give him his own show... Kudos, Rick!
Next video, how not to repair pitch marks 😂
Next next video, what is a pitch mark 😉
How many dead spots has he left on the greens over the years
I was gonna say he always does it wrong lmao
...this from a Teaching Professional, no less.
I cheered that final putt! What a dynamite way to finish. Absolutely incredible. Thank you!
How you going to fix pitch marks like that!!!! C’mon rick. Lifting pulls the roots, grass dies and turn brown.
THANK YOU was going to post this exact thing. amazing how many people dont know how to fix ball marks
Such honest golf videos are very much appreciated. The viewer isn't presented with a succession of great shots, but instead a real-life mixture of good shots and (for Rick anyway) not so good ones.
I also really value the methodologies described before taking each stroke and I'm learning more each day. Many thanks.
Imagine he play a shot with every club he has
This channel has already made my game better in the past 2 weeks. You’re a gem. 🤘🤘🤘
As soon as Rick pulled out the 60 degree I cringed cause I know that’s his least favorite shot 😂
Fair play, brave to do it on film n all. It’s the shot that I love n hate the most. Get it right, you’re a god, get it wrong…. Not so much. 🙈
Wanna sneak back to hit that shot 100 times
yeah, every other aspect of his game is better than mine, but every time he gets close enough to chip I cringe... I cringe if he putts from there, and I cringe when I see his chip shot. He needs to learn those soft landing flop shots, and the slightly less lefty variations in between.
Been playing for about a year now and i really enjoyed these videos of you playing and explaining. Makes more sense to me and easier for me to learn from. Cheers Rick.👏🏾👍🏾
The crypto market is highly unpredictable so proper technical analytic skills from an expert like Mr Liam Michael would be required to trade the market profitably

Probably the best ending to a video I've seen all year, especially since you knew it and started walking towards the cup before the ball was near the hole. Awesome tips, I learned a lot!
These videos as you're talking through are some of my favorite!
You're a really good instructor and have good wits about you. Nice to see a pro who can compartmentalize each shot and explain them well to the masses .
I had stopped using the line on the ball to line up my putts. I never felt confident that it was lined up correctly. I started to use my putter shaft to confirm the line is correct like you did. I went to practise putting today and I'm so happy with that tip thank Rick.
I really appreciate the way you explain things and walk us through your thinking. Thanks!
Smashes that last birdie putt !!!! Highlight of the video! What a save after that tee shot! Keep em coming Rick! ⛳️
the last approach shot is what making golf such a fun game in my opinion. When you have to hit a high cut or draw and you know it can make or break a round.
Aim point has changed my putting for the better. Well worth learning for beginners and experts alike!
Just recently started looking at you tube videos; and your videos are definitely my favorites. I am hoping to learn some things to improve my golf and have fun. Thanks so much!
These types of videos are helpful to show even you are human when it comes to golf!
As someone who did not grow up playing golf and is new to the sport at 41, its fantastic to get this experienced perspective on how to play the game shot by shot. 👍👍👍
Iv watched a lot of your videos. This one by far Is the best type. I can take more away from this than any other, it’s all good doing drills in the range but on the course is best.
The poor shots most of us can relate to a lot more. Great content, really love to see another of this type.
Besides Rick playing other pro's, these are my favourite kinds of RS vids.
This is an excellent way to teach golf and present an entertaining video at the same time.
it's funny rick but every time i watch your videos our yardages match up so perfectly. when you talk out a shot it's pretty well exactly how i'd do it. it's a small thing but it makes watching the videos that much more interesting for me. i also sympathize emphatically with your short game. i struggle so badly there too haha
The end was the best!....what a putt!
I love these kind of videos.... love all your stuff but watching a round is AWESOME
Such great info to hear someone whose so much better than me explain how they Approach different shots and golf in general
Great video Rick, we see so many videos of pros hitting perfect shots every time, it's refreshing to see a warts and all video that shows the bad shots as well as the good ones
So Rick just wanted to share with you that you got me into golf and I love it. I have played maybe 3 rounds now and It’s very fun. What made me want to tell u this is that u said always read putts off the green and the other day I was playing and I was like oh I’m 2 foot off the green imma just push it up there and then really try to make it and I managed to make that little “not matter” shot for my first birdie. Read every shot since
Yes, please more videos like this Rick. Very informative and like to compare how I would play those shots 🏌️😎
Dear Rick, Thank you for all of your shows. I have at least watched all of you at least once. This is the second time with this particular one. I am in Australia bicycling for the Cancer Council after 6 times from my home in Oregon to the New York. Covid has kept me in Australia for two years in November of 2021.

Would love more of these videos. Give an different insight to other shots
love the headcover throw 4:32
