- Playing golf with a 1 iron (16°) for EVERY shot!
In this video PGA Pro Rick Shiels challenges PGA PRO Matt Fryer to a match at Townley Golf Club using ONLY a Titleist U500 one iron that has just 16° of loft. The one iron is regarded as the HARDEST golf club in the world to use. Players struggle hitting one irons due the fact they have very little loft. If you slice or hook your driver, shank or top your irons or simply duff your golf shots then a one iron would be near impossible to use.
Even the best players in the world like Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson and Jason Day do not use one irons in their whats in the bags.
See what Rick Shiels can shoot using just a 1 iron, Rick will have to use a one iron to chip with, putt with and even hit challenging bunker shots with. Rick Shiels could really find some awful situations to use the one iron. Rick Shiels and Matt Fryer also use the one iron to play a 909 yard par 8 hole they made up.

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.
Q.) What's the lowest numbered iron you carry in your bag?
Also what's the make & model ⬇️
4 iron xr 16
6
Wilson staff 2 iron
Four iron for sure. It’s my go to club
Wilson Pi5 3 iron
This looks alot like my golf game, only Im using a full set of clubs.
Same here 😭🤣
Touché
I felt that
Same
Same
I felt personally attacked when Rick said he didn’t want anyone to see him halfway down the fairway on a par 3.
Me: Watches Rick Shiels
TH-cam: Whether your striking the ball thin, a little fat, pretty solid
Me: SKIP SKIP SKIP
I know!
That ad is soooo annoying I get it every time
Best comment of all time
Bad ad but good product for anyone that plays golf
Every. Goddamn. Time.
True story: my grandad gave me a bunch of clubs when I first started playing golf a few months ago. There wasn’t a putter so I assumed the 1 iron was the putter as it had a pretty flat face.
Needless to say my game has improved tremendously since I actually bought a putter
🤣🤣🤣
You'll be fine, a putting stroke with a long iron choked down is a great way to chip from just off the green with a long way to the pin. Chipping one in is always a thrill.
The hardest club for me to hit.. Is whatever club I happen to be holding..
In case of lightning, always pull your 1...even god can’t hit a 1.
Lee Trevino that was 👌🏻
HA!!!!
@@fvhghgbuntftfvtfv8429 hi
@@fvhghgbuntftfvtfv8429 how are you?
once I played a 1 iron .the lightning hit me 14 times. I put the final put from a stretcher and scored a 61.
After watching rick leap that stream all I could think was, ”who says golfers are not athletes?”
If you have to argue about whether or not you're an athlete, then you're not an athlete.
Slappy shut the hell up you couch potato
I DO!!!
@@slappy8941 So the 7+ footers in basketball that have hardly any vertical and are slow as hell aren't athletes? Who would have thought that golfers don't train jumping. It being so useful and all.
On the one hand Pros are in elite athletic shape and conditioning.
On the other hand I’ve been able to play golf while smoking and drinking. I feel like that’s as unathletic as it gets TBH.
Why I love rick’s content with others:
Crazy ideas
Humour
Nobody’s salty at the end
I hit 9 holes today on my first ever game of golf. Been golfing for about 3 weeks. It was par 36 and I hit 58
welcome to the absolute best and worst journey of your life
The pure athleticism with the jump over the stream is simply astounding.
This was much harder than using a 7 iron for all your shots like you did in a previous video. Appreciate both of your sense of humour about it.
I wonder which the optimum single club would be for most? I think I'd favour the 7 despite the distance loss over a 5 or 6 iron.
Roy McAvoy qualified for the US Open using only a 7 iron.
grip it and rip it
Tin cup
7 iron is best club in the bag, change my mind.
@@Jakey4000 i like my 8 a tad more
@@Jakey4000 I completely agree it’s definitely my favourite
That was awesome. This made me think of high school. My high school golf coach played a round with us once and only used a putter for the 9 holes. He won shooting 43.
I must've watched this about 30 times over the last 4 years and without a doubt is still some of the finest content on TH-cam!
I'd like to see you two getting out of the bunkers with a driver.
@John Buick that's easily done actually. Whack it up the forward slope of the bunker and it should leave the bunker, it won't go far but it'll be out.
@@osu45d most bunkers have lips of grass nowadays
“What club are you going with “ 😂😂
Might just adopt this. Can barely use my other clubs properly anyway!
Kenny MacKenzie I know what u mean. I might adopt a driving putter ! If Rick can do 250yds I might have it a go as I only hit my M6 150yds lol
Andrew Raistrick use a 9 iron 😂 I hit 190yd shots
‘I think you may have too much club for it’
Killed me haha.
"You've got too much club there" 😆 🤣 😂
The fact that rick can hit a one iron and I can’t even get a driver in the air is ridiculous. 😂
I like how Rick is so self conscious about hitting bad shots. Welcome to my world!
Love this channel - creative video ideas, always upbeat, with a little friendly banter
I love how he jumps the little creek when there is a Bridge 20 feet behindhim
I just love these kind of challenges. Who said that you can't have fun playing golf.
Reminds me of Crocodile Dundee
"That's not a #1 iron." "Fat sole, graphite shaft."
That was the funniest video you have made. The banter back and forth with you and Matt was amazing! Great show!
There’s a lot of grey coming through that beard mr shiels lol
Ive played a few holes with just a 7 iron before but never a 1 iron. Makes for interesting play!
I have an old Titleist DCI - 1 Iron from the 2000s, I'd love to see an old vs new 1 iron comparison.
That would be a good video !!
I ~still~ use a set of DCI 962's... I really do like them... :-)
If you like them and can play with them then theres no need to change . i really get the urge to get my old clubs out . i have some Hippo Tour irons i may have to do a video against my Mizuno JPX 919
I played a round last weekend with my DCI 962b 1 iron being used on all driver holes to stay back of groups in front of me. The 962 1 iron is an awesome fairway finder, and happens to have the distinction of being the only non Mizuno iron in my bag :-D
I laughed way too much watching this. Looks so much like me playing my regular game with all my clubs. Hahaha!!!
15:16 "when im about to do something stupid"
Brings back memories of the good ole days of course vlogs with Fryer, Finch, Carter, Shiels.
Bring back the good old days
It’s like the more subs everyone has gotten, the standard and quality of the content has lessened.
Jeremy Draleau that’s what happens with every channel it seems. My old favorite car TH-camr SS717’s channel has turned into straight merch plug videos with maybe 3 minutes of actual content
Selling souls for $$$
Jeremy Draleau you have to admit this video was high quality though
I’ve got an old bladed ram 1 iron. Absolutely tiny club face but an absolute rocket ship if you catch it!
I have an old Ram 2 Iron. Wish I had the 1 iron too. They are real 1 and 2 irons. Not like this driver like looking thing they are using.
Ram are the best cheap clubs around. I still use them. My driver 3 and 5 wood
I wish my golf vlogs were as good as his. Me and my husband started thanks to you. Thanks again for the video!
I love challenges like this! So entertaining, can't wait to see more!🤙🏼🤙🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
I'd say that was more of a driving iron that a 1 iron. Ironically (no pun intended) a bladed 1 iron would have made those bunker shots easier.
Reminds me of my high school days when I used to think I was decent. Had a 1 iron in the bag with balata balls.... I had no business with either.
Tee up a balata and give me a 1 and watch me prove the existence of other dimensions.
This is one of the best Rick & Matt videos!
I love how Rick says "stinger" 😂😍 more like "stinker"
I’m laughing so hard right now! “I could almost do a cartwheel, but I’m not gonna do that.” 1:40 then he does a cartwheel 😂😂😂😂💀💀💀
Rick should raffle that 1 iron off ... some of us play irons and have no hybrids in the bag ...
Nothing better when a creator reacts to your comment ...rick is a man of the people
Looks like a hollow body hybrid iron
@@enfynet True. This club is essentially a compact hybrid anyway.
This is actually a great demonstration of something I think many, many golfers do not think of enough, Including me, and that is that there is tremendous energy in the club. If that idea was in the thought process when I am trying to hit I shouldn't over swing.
Up to 3 years ago I carried a 1987 Titleist Tour Blade 1 iron. Still bring it our now and then for giggles....but not in the cold weather.
My father always said, “Even God can’t hit a 1 iron” lol
Meanwhile my dad to this day still says “only god and myself can hit a 1 iron”
"After he was struck by lightning at the 1975 Western Open, Trevino was asked by a reporter what he would do if he were out on the course and it began to storm again. Trevino answered he would take out his 1 iron and point it to the sky, “because not even God can hit the 1-iron.”
"Gotta go around the tree"... in disc golf this is called a Mandatory, or commonly just "mando".
That's cool! Do you know why they call it that?
@@daltonlilledahl3663 Because that's what the word means -- something you MUST do, it is not optional. Unlike some other terms, this isn't stolen from another sport or invented. It's just a normal English word.
My Titleist T-MB 2 iron is the best club in my bag, hitting what seems like every fairway with 265-285 yards of distance makes the game so much easier!
So nice to see you struggle getting through a course like the majority of us..hahaha. Great vid. Really entertaining.
"I think you got too much club"
"Shut up"
Fun challenge...I may challenge my golf partner to something similar. I'm thinking a 3 hybrid all the way...great video!
Matt is literally every golfer surely ?😂i am always shouting and not caring 😂👍🏻quality video 👌👌
One of the best videos you've made in a while!!!
Colab with gm golf would be insane
I saw this ad for a ball, the name is the Birdie ball, wondering if you could do a revie
I have found practicing with my driving 2 iron off the ground has tremendously improved my striking with all clubs.
Their energy is hilarious together 😂
I love that guy he is hilarious play with him more
For real, out of all the British folk Rick has played with this guy is by far the most lively. It's refreshing.
make this a regular competition and call it "what would Seve do?"
Glad we remember Seve who could do anything with one. Cañizares and even Pinero were great with a 1. Greatest shot I ever saw was Sandy Lyle at Sandwich.
Rick is the stinger KING
Well done , Matt. Give the man an audience and he gives his best performance. My lowest is a PGF 2 iron. Great show , Rick. I have been missing these types of events. Keep 'em coming, mate. Now off to see what Peter is doing.
Wow... :P Good Job, funny to watch.. next old 70's club against matt?
Rick you need to do the new titleist iron review
Nice sand driver, Matt. Now I see where the lunacy came from. I love it.
Jack Nicklaus has said in a few interviews that he loved his 1-iron bc it was so versatile. He said he could hit any shot of the course with it.
Rick please do a review on the GX7 driver! We need to know the truth about that!
Feel like I’d still loose with a full set 😂
It feels good having the golf course that I usually play on the videos!
Very entertaining video :)
Ricks run is my new favorite thing ever
Rick! what's up from Melbourne FL!!! Getting ready for Tee time @ Disney !!!
When’s the new Titleist irons video happening Rick 👍👀
Weird that everyone else is releasing club reviews......
Not an avid golfer but have been watching your videos for a few months now. Typically just hit the range for something to do. This seems like something me and my roommate would do though. Just having fun with a challenge (assuming nobody is behind us of course). Love this video.
Funny video!! Been looking at all the older videos you've made to catch up since joining your channel!!
Hey rick do you still review clubs from major Golf manufacturers? It’s been awhile since you put any up!
Vincent Amador great question???
The forfeit should be that you parcel up the club and sent it to me, been after a 1 iron for ages 😂👍
I used to carry a Ping Eye 2 black spot 1 iron for off the tee and a 2 iron off the fairway. Loved them. Eventually I hit the 1 iron off the fairway. Loved the club.
Now.... Only putter off the tee.
You should collab with gm_golf. That would be a dream come true🤩
Luke Walden unfortunately they live on opposite sides of the pond 😔
But both of them travel a lot so they could meet up at a location in Europe. Beacease im pretty sure gym golf is in Europe
@@estebanknorr2621 gm golf is in Scotland rn
Odd dream
TideFan01 dummy facts
"If you're caught in a thunderstorm...hold up a 1 iron...because even God cannot hit a 1 iron" Lee Trevino
Matt the extremely angry golfer Fryer! 🤣 Great vid guys.
Rick, I love your videos. Your personality and energy are amazing and so entertaining. Keep up the great content!
Rick get teamed up with gm_golf. Would be amazing!!!
Great content. Keep it up.
Thanks for doing an awesome video at my home club @ Royal Portrush!!
I just realized this but rick sounds just like MORGZ!
Looked like fun! Our Club is doing a 4 clubs plus putter. I was looking forward to it, but now I think that I will try to have as much fun as you guys did!
Your Fryer frien is hilarious😂
This seems like something GM Golf would do and I love it. Also, enjoy me some Matt Fryer
Jesse Vollmer seems like a fun challenge
@@gmgolf You and Zac with alllll the stingers haha. Call it Stingerfest 2019
Seems like gm did something like this first lmao
@@gmgolf Scotland vlogs? And BTW really glad that your channel hit an atomic bomb. And blew up!!! Great content anyway keep it up 👍
My favorite kind of golf shenanigans.
I love this one. I've watched it like 3 times now Matt always cracks me up.
Break, BREAK! NOO!!! My typical internal thoughts on every green! lmao
I was in hysterics the whole video 😂😂😂
Great video. I'm very impressed that the 4 golfers who came up were all using a pull cart. I love walking the course.
Pretty versatile approach to an already creative game!
Thanks Rick. Always appreciated.
God bless
Don't feel bad Rick,I always lay up on a par 3 . Funny video good to see Matt.
Honestly, that club has a great sound; it sounds like it has a nice sweet spot. A lot of the balls hit were launched more than expected.
You’re the man Shielsie! Love the channel. Keep up the awesome work.
Hi rick I started back in golf 20yrs ago and could not hit a driver more than 160 yards so I have a 1 iron ping eye 2 had it for 5yrs loved it
That sound from the 1 iron is amazing.
Great stuff! Need to see more of these types of vids, one club only
Rick idk if you read comments or not but these are the videos I like to see you upload!!
Thanks Cal
"What was that?" "7, 8, 9 - it was a 9" finally something Rick has said when playing himself that I can relate to my own game. I mean I am using a full set of clubs and playing just the 1 hole, rather than combining 2 holes with a 1 iron but it's nice to hear regardless.
I still remember how hard it was when my coach forced me to use only 7-iron or 9-iron for a golf round for the first time. You guys are going with the 1-iron...!!!
