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.

"This is TH-cam and it's always driver.....innit?"
Truer words have never been spoken, Mr. Westwood.
Man’s got a point 😂
@@alexanderhagenfeldt858 Rory has taught him well.

Lee looks like he could have another 10 years on this tour
Driver to putter. 2 club bag. Just drive it to the green every time.
0:42 : “See that bloke babbling on the bridge to a camera?”
“Yeah”
“That’s your aim point”
hahaha
Yeah, exactly.
Rick: Talking about aimpoints and clubs.
PRO in the far back: Hey caddy, aimpoint was good but you give me shorter club.
Me: WoW, Rick has nerves of steel (or is deaf) ;)
Haha
He put it in the drink lol
At first I thought a fish hit something on the surface. I had to rewind it.
As an American here I could never see an American PGA star player of Lee's magnitude doing a youtube video and completely engage and have fun doing it. Westwood has a new fan here. This was so cool!
yeah... i was about to mention brody's Rahm video but ya know.. not american
Based on a couple of TH-cam videos I have seen, Kevin Kisner may be your guy. Kiz is an incredible needler that loves to have fun. I would choose him in a NY minute. Mickelson would be my first choice with Kiz second in a photo finish.
There are a few but I said of Lee's magnitide. Star player, Ryder cup player. Not many.
Bubba has joined a random dude on the course and Barstool. There are a few others as well.

Love how a ball subtly lands in the water as Rick is talking :)
We need a new series! “HIRED OR FIRED” with you caddying for tour pros!
Good idea
Genius idea mate🤙🏽
Unfortunately you cant get fired if you're not already hired.
PLEASE
That would be lovley! It would be fun with a video with justin rose or rory mcilroy
Love someone landing it in the drink at 00:41 Rick unphased
VIDEO IDEA: Get a beginner golfer to caddy for you and see how well you can do, like if you guys agree
I'll happily caddy only been playing 3 months
Mate, I'm less than a minute in and some guy hits his approach shot to the green behind you into the water about 10 ft behind your head...
What a way to pick your moment.
I didnt even notice that the first time...
Amazing! Didn't spot that, good eye!
It was a Pro V1. Rick fished it out later....
rjcb23 LMAO
I saw that and was hoping someone else also saw that one fly right at him
Who’s here after watching westwood the past couple weeks
Watching Lee play recently has given me a new appreciation for him. Love watching him enjoy the courses.
Amazing performances. Being the runner up behind Dechambeau and JT in the last two weeks. I'm instantly a fan
I like that Lee takes control of his game.
Me
Meeeee!!
Is this the experience that made Westwood realize he doesn't need a caddy telling him how to play golf?
Haha you win best comment today
Until they get to the green... then that's where the caddy is worth his weight in gold.
The moment, when the golf ball hits the water, just behind Rick! 😂
Haha yes had to pause the video just to make the same comment. I'll like yours instead
I came to the comment section when I saw that too 😂 so close!
Bet they were tired of waiting.
And he didn't even flinch. Kudos to Rick 😂
That was hilarious! I didn’t even notice it in the first watch. Had to go back and see it *FORE!* myself… Love it!!
Lee Westwood was the first professional I saw hit a golf ball up close back in my teenage years. Such easy power with a silky smooth move at the ball! Great guy too.
Lee has practised at a range near me. One day lady came up to him and asked how his golf was coming on and he replied with the usual 'Not too bad' line. When someone asked the lady if she knew who he was she replied that she thought it was a member at Mortonhall...
"You were probably right" just shows how good Rick is at reading greens⛳
ricks not actually a good green reader or putter
Only cos Westwood is shit at putting
This needs to be as often as possible with as many golfer as you can find.
What a great dude Mr. Westwood...he took this "challenge" seriously but really approachable. He looks like he enjoyed it a lot...specially how Rick was strugglin to figure out his game. Love the banter and how he messes with Ricks mind...my appreciation for Mr. Westwood is even more.
I'm from the states and Lee Westwood has always been one of my all time favorites! He hit a slump, I think around the early 2000s, and not only battled his way back but got even better than he was before the slump! He seems like an awesome guy, thank you so much! It's great when you see someone you have followed for years turn out to be a nicer guy than you thought he was! Totally awesome!!!
00:42 FOOORREEE
0:41 *Almost dies*
(No one: "FORE")
Omg!!!! Good eyes!
This was the moment Westwood realized he just needs somebody to carry his bag around and he can keep the 10% fee in the family 😂
She can carry my bag any day and don't have to tell me shit about the course.
🤣🤣
That’s basically what caddie is for. Carry the clubs, some players use them as human calculators as well. Caddies are overrated.
That’s why more and more players just use there mate or a family member. They basically do bugger all
@@Mr.mallaer yes, and no. For players like Westwood and Cink, who have been around for 20 some years, yes they just need someone to carry and keep them mellow.. for younger tour players the insight, measurements and advice of a caddy is a major advantage. Not to mention assistance with the mental part of the game (which is huge). Plenty of examples of good young players falling after having friends/brothers caddy, while there are equally many who have taken leaps in the right direction from getting a good caddy..
I’m an American and I love these videos. I want us to win the Ryder and President cups every time.
That’s said, I have a very healthy respect for stars like Lee Westwood that do things such as this. In the media you can come to see them as entitled and above people like Rick
Amazing to see Lee have fun with this and participate. It seriously motivates golfers of all ages to play. Kudos to him and to Rick for doing this. I’ll watch it again and if I could give more than one like I would.
That was pretty awesome, not gonna lie!
If the water was grass Rick would’ve been getting hit with the bounce ahaha
Someone hit a golf ball in the water behind rick in the intro
That was me...
Glad I’m not the only one who saw it!!
10/10 people went back to check
Edit: lol, at 0:40
With volume up you can her the shot
Not a FORE shout in sight. Must of been American 🇺🇸
In the beginning, Lee was like: "okay, okay, let's just get this over with." After a hole or two, He was like "this is fun! Rick's a good guy."
PeanutButter I agree 😂 he didn’t look amused at the start. I think the fist pumping for par was the turning point 👌🏻
no lee just has a really dry sense of humour!
Spot on.
So true lol
He's a Worksopian like me, we are dry but a laugh
Loved this Lee seems like a really cool guy so does his caddy , bounced off Rick really well . Do more of these it was really interesting and fun
Lee Westwood, what an absolute gentleman! What a great video.
I agree with you. He is a great man and a great champion.
I’ve had the opportunity to watch Lee on a number of videos and have found him to be engaged, entertaining and personable. What an experience for you Rick. You looked a little nervous at first but settled in after he overruled your putt suggestion. If I were you, I’d get a poster made with a picture of Lee Westwood and the caption, “Rick, you were probably right”.
Lee was great, seems a really nice funny guy.
That was a close shave in the intro!
Phil Rose that was Bryson’s tee shot
Ace Video! We saw him play at the belfry, he ripped a drive and I said “great shot Lee’ - he turned and looked me in the eye and said ‘thank you’. He was then referred to as ‘your mate’ when the guys I was with spoke about him 😎. I also used to play an online golf game with his old caddie.
What kind of caddy are you? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've been a huge Lee Westwood fan since the 2016 US Open. The way he stood up for DJ during that crazy ruling and was supportive of him as the round continued was pure class.
American ?
@@jeandupont8501
No. Canadian.
@@edhawkes584 Interesting. Anyway I agree with you the man is a class act.
Lee is awesome for playing along with Rick for us you tubers.👍
Loved the video , thanks guys!
It makes my heart happy to hear someone call a pitch mark a “pitch mark” and not a divot 😂🤦♂️
This is one of the coolest golf videos I've seen on TH-cam. Absolutely loved it Rick.
"THAT LOOKED FILTHY!" love it. Lee should be invited on more often.
Lee Westwood is a class act, love seeing him at the top of the leaderboards recently even if he reps a different flag. You nailed the caddy duties, hats off 🎩. Btw I’m “Barry the builder” and i appreciated that little snippet. Well done as always
Having watched Lee playing a practice round at Augusta National and his interaction with the patrons there I knew this would be fun.
That must have been James Robinson in the background blading an iron at Rick during the intro!!!!!
Love vids with Lee. What a class guy. He even seems to enjoy TH-cam channel guys. Great sport. Thanks Lee.
@@ryanbm3 does that need pointing out?
Now THAT was really entertaining, educational and it was quite a treat to see a tour pro in this context...I tip my hat to Lee. Great stuff Rick!!!
6:49 Lee:"another one of your magical reads again" 😂 what a fun experience
What a great video! Learned SO much from the interaction with Lee and his caddy. Brilliant, well done Rick. We followed Lee around at Abu Dhabi earlier this year -- Cheered when he won, cried during the interview.
This video is clearly the most entertaining you have put out. You and Lee had me smiling the whole time.
Rick: 56 degree
Lee: Are you sure?
Rick: yes
Lee: last chance Rick...Are you sure?
Caddie is like "my jobs safe " 🤣😂🤣😂
L.W. One of my All-Time favorites. Had privilege seeing him close up at Silverado, Napa, CA about 4 yrs ago on pro-am day. Super fella. Thanks Rick!
I just fell in love with Westwood!! What a cool guy...loved his jovial and easygoing manners.
Rick: "Oh he is going to overrule me...I mean you know what happened when he did that last time he missed the putt but WHATEVA!" Im dying LOLOL
It’s great to see these professionals in a casual setting, their personality comes through and you get the inside
Rick, That was one of the most enjoyable TH-cams I’ve watched in a long time.
7:50 the look on Lee's face when Rick tells him to put his note pad away 😆
I’m now officially rooting for Lee to win a major. Loved this video.
That is well overdue. To my mind Monty should have won at least one major during his almost complete 10 year domination of the tour.
Lee Major….lol.
Lee seems like a really good guy. Nice to see a pro relaxed and having fun. Lee gained a fan today.
Thanks for that Rick! Entertaining as ever. Lee Westwood was an absolute champ for playing along.
Prob my favourite vid so far, what a top sport lee Westwood. You could see rick was enjoying every second of that, chasing round like a bairn in a toy shop. This should become a regular feature. Next time no overrule but play 2 shots, Rick’s v pro to see the outcome 👍. I’m away to watch it again 😀
Enjoyed that. Lighthearted. Westwood a legend.
Great content, love your videos, but this is possibly my favourite one ever. Lee is a class act, and it's great to see him caddied by yourself!
Westy is a star...great sense of humor, and is in my fantasy 4 ball.
Lee just seems like a really nice guy. I like his humor and that he seems so relaxed.
Lee is a star. His control is unbelievable - I’d love to hear him miked up for a round to get his thoughts/planning etc
As an amateur golfer, I was watching in awe of Lee's driving off the tee. Just picking what drives to hit. It must be lovely to have all those shots in the bag. Great vid.
I was thinking that every shot like wow look at the trajectory he can command off the tee
Also the key to becoming a good golfer is not going out to the range and machine-gunning shots or just every time you swing a golf club is by playing a round of golf. Go to the range and make every shot count and work on particular shots and most importantly alignment. You can work on swing plane in your backyard with no ball. Also read Fearless Golf. If puts the mental game in perspective.
What a lovely thing for Westy to do, take time out to do 5 holes with the no.1 golf youtuber 👏🏼
Lee Westwood looks like a post man out of a Christmas movie
He seems down to earth and someone you wouldn't mind having a few pints with!
@@rg20322 I would defo have a pint with.......or 5 lol
Lmao
Loved every minute Rick. Lee Westwood is one of my favorites of all time. He was definitely the number one golfer at one point. He had a chance to win all 4 majors in a single year. No one was cheering harder than me. Great guy and amazing ball striker
Hahaha the ball going into the water in the intro is awesome. What a shot!
Peeking in the mind of a caddie and his pro, the communication, knowledge of each other and confidence in one another’s theory of the shot and shape. Simply amazing to see the process. Thank you.
0:42 LOL golfer behind Rick hits a SPLASH 😆
“Will Forrest get promoted this season?”
“No.”
Absolutely no hesitation. Poor Forrest 😭
Forest.
They should never have sacked Karanka.
Who is forest
@@tuanoful Nottm Forest, the team Westy supports. It's the team badge on his yardage book.
@@sitaylor ty
Someone definitely aimed for you on the intro
No call of four or anything 😅
They probably got irritated waiting to hit the ball while to guy next to the green is taping something and blocking their shot. :)
to be fair pros know how far its going they probably knew it was short of him
Didnt wanna ruin the intro by yelling lol
I don’t want to be that guy but...fore*
@@youtubemadeb6417 you're that guy. :)
"shake it off big man" 🤣🤣🤣
This is probably one of my favourite “non lesson” videos goes to show how important a caddy is and what a difficult job it can be
Now that was an entertaining video, no filler, and a bit of banter. Thanks.
Lee Westwood is probably one of the nicest pro athletes I have ever met. He would stop into the YMCA where I worked while I was in college when visiting for the Firestone WGC event, and I would give him Y passes and he would leave me tickets for the tournament. He’s truly down to earth and just a class act. Hopefully he can get that major win soon!!
He can put a good round or 2 together in majors, but unfortunately nowadays with better equipment and consistent golfers you need 4 clean rounds to win any major.
Rick was so hoping Lee missed that putt after he overruled him😂
"Are you asking me or telling me?" 🤣
Lee was such a good sport! Fun to hear the chatter with Lee, James & Rick. The pitch shots were very educational.
The Legend Lee Westwood, what a sound bloke and clearly game for a laugh.
That dang Shiels holding up the group filming himself....wonder if I can land one close to let him know to get on with it!
“Another one of those magical reads then” on the second hole 😂😂
Westy is the only professional golfer actively playing today I'd want to sit and have a beer with and hear some stories. Then go out and play a few holes with. Darren Clarke also but he's primarily Champions tour now. I can't think of one guy on the US tour I'd want to do that with. Their either so into themselves or they're so young, that I have no interest their game or stories. Good Vid!
phil mickelson
KEVIN KISNER
Good fun to watch, good laugh. That's how golf should be! Thanks Rick for cheering up my morning.
Lee seemed a bit annoyed at first but then seemed like he had fun. I love seeing the pros personality come out a bit in videos like these! One of my favorite videos!
0:44 looks like someone was aiming for you and landed in the water 😂
Word of the day: H-y-y-y-y-y-y Brid. Lee was amazing.
This marked the start of Lee's golden run of form. Either it's Rick's influence....or it could be that he ditched a male caddy entirely....
This guy is such a douche making his tiny wife carry his massive bag
@@diggermeddler1169 I mean she does it in her own will if she didn’t want to carry the bag she wouldn’t be
@@diggermeddler1169 lol it's like 20kg and she's quite clearly in good shape and she's making bank. It's hardly like he's forcing her to do it
I really like the caddy interaction because you really see how much the pros really plan their shots. They’re planning their putts from their second shots and this is all going on in fractions of seconds in their heads. Even Lee saying if you put a timer on him he’d be within fractions of second doing his routine. I know how much better the pros are than us Joe’s, but this really makes me appreciate how good they are.
Lee is one of my favourite players of all time. Just watching him shot making and shapeing is pretty special. Great job caddying Rick. Another top video👍
I’m loving the “or hybrid.... or Hybrid”
This was extremely entertaining. This was just a lot of fun to watch. Thanks Lee for letting Rick do this!
“Tour professional” is kind of underselling how good Lee Westwood is
Totally agree
I think it's accurate. He's only won twice on the PGA tour. Nice guy, good golfer. But calling him a tour pro is accurate.
Bruno Nanni He dethroned Tiger at world number 1 and dominated the European Tour a decade ago. That’s a better resumé than just “Tour professional”
Bruno, very blinkered opinion guess you are one of those lot who doesn't have a passport
@@adyc7357 I understand your suspicion, however I have had a passport and have used it for more than 30 years. I like Lee. But describing him as a tour pro is accurate. He's consistently in the top 50 of the OWGR which means he's very good. By normal human standards, a great golfer. But by pro standards, just very good. Not meant to slight him. I wish more pros had his demeanor.
Lee Westwood has long been my favourite golfer and this video just proves why!! Great player and so funny. Love his relaxed approach to everything 👌🏻
Really cool of Lee Westwood to do this. He’s got a much better personality than I imagined. The way the PGA is set up it doesn’t allow you to see the personalities of the players. So grateful for stuff like this on YT to see how funny they really are.
Lee Westwood - Legend. He shot a hole in one right in front of me about 20 years ago, threw the ball (which I caught) and then he signed it later. Can't find the ball though!
Is that right aye
Yep. I think it was at the 2001 Open.
Not much point telling that story to lose the ball. That's shameful.
How do you loose something like that. I can see loosing your job or loosing your mind but how do you loose a signed hole in one ball from Lee Westwood.
I know. Don’t make me feel worse😂
The best thing I've done recently was to subscribe to Rick's channel.
I've actually been inspired to take up golf again after a regrettable 20 year absence from the game.
Great videos which are not just very informative but incredibly good fun to watch.
Thanks Rick.
0:42 FORE!
What a guy Lee Westwood is. I’m not sure how many tour players should have done this with such humour and humility. Loved the video, credit to Lee and a Rick.
Great video. Lee Westwood is a class act. Has always been one of my favorite tour players. I've been fortunate enough to have seen him many times at the masters. I love watching him strike the ball.
Westwood, a true gent.
Lee has to be one of my favorite tour pros! He always has so much time for the fans and content creators. Legend of a bloke
Who’s here after watching Westwood almost win The Players?
Nice to see someone from your home town still doing well and being a big name in golf. Also used to see Willet play most weekends when he was a junior its great seeing them on t.v years later.
What great use of player access! Awesome Lee, line of the video ...’Rick, your only doing half the job’....bravo!
