    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.

    We all have them - some more than others (me) but it’s the response to it that’s more important!

    I would suggest that rather than having golf lessons, Rick looks towards a sports psychologist. Over the last few Break 75 videos, there have been a high number of "sighs" and "arghs" after hitting shots and missing putts. Rick obviously has the talent and skill to hit under 75 as we've all seen before, but it would appear that his own head gets in the way of his game - as it does with us all!
    Good luck Rick and come back stronger in the Spring

      Honestly, I was thinking the exact same thing... It almost feels like he's trying to hit a shot NOT to miss, rather than just hitting the shot he wants to (if that makes sense). Kinda getting in his own head without trying to, or "gripping the stick too tight" as we'd say in hockey when a guy is trying to get off a goal scoring slump.
      I feel like he just needs to relax a bit and just go hit the shot, nothing more. Just let it ride, so to speak, and see if things change up a bit.

    These videos of Rick struggling are probably the most useful to us regular/beginner golfers.
    I have been working really hard to improve my game and I have noticed a lot of improvement, but then yesterday I really struggled on a course that is definitely too difficult for my "beginner" skill set. I knew this going in, but the round still had me down in the dumps. Seeing this video today, of a PGA professional also struggling, needing to make changes to his game and finding it hard for those changes to show on the course, just lifted my spirits and is giving me so much hope and determination to keep trying.
    Thank you, Rick. These videos are gold to so many of us and if your goal is to help normal and beginner golfers, then you are 100% doing that here.

    I absolutely appreciate these videos Rick. I’m trying to break 100 and I’ve been getting closer and closer but I just had a couple really bad rounds that completely messed with my mind. It’s hard to think those positive thoughts when you’re playing poorly. Just gotta keep grinding and finding the positives

    • @stevebeard8142

      Good way to break 100 is to give yourself an extra shot on each hole that way a par 5 is a par 6 and par 4 is a par 5 do this on every hole and it takes the pressure off making pars and birdies and you will soon get into the 90s by taking that pressure off yourself mate cheers 👍

    I don't know why... but this video just hits differently. Three minutes in and I can relate to everything Rick is going through. Silent course, autumn leaves on the fairway... Good stuff! Production quality is on point. Rick looks like someone I would want to play a round with.

    Im currently only 16 minutes into this video and i already want to say that i can see the progression of putting the first 2 holes behind you and focusing on playing the next holes, i see less anger towards yourself and more confidence and concentration on the next holes compared to previous videos lately. This is something i want to work on next year, i dont want to take a bad hole with me to the next. Fair play RS. Now to finish off the video

    Be blessed to be playing outside Rick! It is currently 5 degrees out this week in Alaska. I'm over here doing indoor sims. Swing changes take time to get used to for sure. I can see where your swing will benefit you soon! You got this.

    I have a lot of under-par rounds when I am playing frequently during my season. But currently have not broke 75 in my last 7 rounds and 4 of those rounds have been over 80 since the end of Summer! This game is tough and nobody likes playing poorly, especially me! Your struggles are relatable to everyone, but there's nothing but RESPECT from me because you are documenting your effort to improve. My game will come back in the spring when I am practicing and playing. But until then, lets writhe in our anger and passion towards playing better

  • @ArmyGolfBC
    @ArmyGolfBC ปีที่แล้ว

    Love this series, and it's another great video. We can feel your pain as it starts to slip away so quickly. This shows just how cold and unforgiving golf can be when you're trying to keep the score low.

  • @AllTradesGeorge
    @AllTradesGeorge ปีที่แล้ว

    This is a solid reminder that building a shot at the driving range doesn't automatically translate to the course. It's one thing to hit a shot off a level patch of ground in ideal or almost ideal conditions...it's another when the slope may have you higher or lower than the ball, when there are visible obstacles and distractions downrange, and when the object is no longer just hitting this specific style of shot, but trying to string a sequence is shots together to reach a specific objective. Keep at it, Rick! Your double-double start is the way the majority of my golfing goes, seeing you push it aside and score par on the next few holes is great inspiration.
    And it was also comforting, in a way, to see that I'm not the only one who has "meltdown holes", where enough goes wrong that you end up +4 or worse on the hole. For years, I could practically bank on one for every nine holes I played (so if I played the full 18, I would have at least two, and sometimes three). I consider it a major breakthrough that I've been able to cut it down to one on a full 18.
    I did notice, though...Rick, you spend a LOT of time talking about how bad this shot was or how bad the hole was or how bad the round is. That feeds on itself, in my experience...the more you dwell on stuff going wrong, the more goes wrong. And that mental aspect of the game is probably the hardest thing for people to get a handle on, and probably one of the biggest differences between casual golfers who have an occasional good round and golfers who are consistently good. Give yourself some recognition for what worked the way you intended and the holes where you did well. Positive thinking may not make you a better golfer...but it can certainly help prevent you from making yourself worse.

    Hey Rick! I've been a lurker on your channel for quite some time and you're the first TH-camr I watched when I got into golf about a year ago. I can see that you're frustrated with this series but i just wanted to say how inspirational this series is.
    Lots of times people just post their best rounds of golf and as a new golfer it sent me on a spiral of wow golf is just that easy huh?
    The beauty of this series is to show how tough it can be to reach the goal. I always set myself a goal each time I head to the course and I never hit my goal. Obviously our goals aren't nearly the same, but it's nice to see you challenging yourself and persisting through the rough.
    Keep chugging along! You got this and I can't wait for the video where you hit 75. Your fan base is behind your back entirely on this series, through the ugly and the beautiful!

    Some of these shots it shows you still have great ability. Golf is such a mental game as much as a technical game. You beat yourself up on the course and put so much pressure on yourself which in turn effects your game.
    Work on your mental positive outlook at much as your technical.
    Keep up the great work, everyone will be routing for you.

I shoot in the 90s but a month ago i was 120s lol....I put a golf sim in my garage an have been playing alot (started playing a year ago) Rick's content has helped me alot with not just mechanics but strategy and mindset.

    I like how transparent and honest Rick is being about his golf I think when he plays with Guy he struggles because when Guy offers Rick encouragement it adds pressure and Rick starts to question himself "why can't aren't I playing good shots" instead of adding more focus and concentration on his next shot, which is needed. I think it's a distraction. Rick is a legend though and followed him from the start, seen him a couple of times on the range Trafford & Burnley.

    Thanks for this video! This is pretty much the way my season went this year. Mostly pars, with a few bad holes mixed in to raise my score.

  • @electronicpen

    Thanks for sharing this Rick, it's helpful and relatable to see. I enjoyed seeing you on your own today, I've found when changing my own swing, the biggest improvements came from being out on the course on my own. Then when I was settled, playing with friends can't be beat! Some GREAT words of wisdom from today's video "I need to be less hard on myself".

I’ve only been playing about 4 years now after a long time off my natural shot was a draw and after watching you and wanting to get better I played with my swing and I now hit a fade and can’t draw to save my life. But, I’ll never stop playing or watching you. Side note I was shooting in high 90s this year you’ve got me in the 80s. Thanks Rick
