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) ;)
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!
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.
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.
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'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!!!
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...
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”.
@@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..
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
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 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.
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.
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.
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
The ultimate Rick video, enjoyed it so much. I walked round with Lee’s group at the BMW pro-am day last year. He’s the ultimate professional I believe, a true gentleman and his natural dry wit made for some great banter in this encounter with you Rick. Great entertainment. Thanks again Rick!
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 😀
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👍
One of your best videos to date!! Really really professional and fantastically put together to get a real feel of being there!! Great laugh to watch! Like being out with the lads
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.
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.
Absolutely brilliant video. I would love to see more like this, especially with more focus on the professional caddie to get into their mindset. Keep it up Rick!!
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.
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 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.
such a great video rick, loved it so much. Loved your chemistry with Lee and his actual caddy, they were both top sports and it seemed so natural and a great laugh for all 3 of you. Amazing, amazing content. Cannot praise you enough Rick, top bloke!
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.
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.
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!
Loved every second of this video well done Rick and Lee great player been watching him since I first followed him playing with poults at the forest of Arden
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.
"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.
Love how a ball subtly lands in the water as Rick is talking :)
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

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.

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

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

Love someone landing it in the drink at 00:41 Rick unphased
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.
00:42 FOOORREEE
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

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!!

Lee was great, seems a really nice funny guy.
This is one of the coolest golf videos I've seen on TH-cam. Absolutely loved it Rick.
That was pretty awesome, not gonna lie!
If the water was grass Rick would’ve been getting hit with the bounce ahaha
This needs to be as often as possible with as many golfer as you can find.
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

"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
That was a close shave in the intro!
Phil Rose that was Bryson’s tee shot
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?

Lee is awesome for playing along with Rick for us you tubers.👍
Loved the video , thanks guys!
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!!
0:41 *Almost dies*

Lee Westwood, what an absolute gentleman! What a great video.
I agree with you. He is a great man and a great champion.
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
This video is clearly the most entertaining you have put out. You and Lee had me smiling the whole time.
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!!!
I’m an American and I love these videos. I want us to win the Ryder and President cups every time.

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 🇺🇸
"THAT LOOKED FILTHY!" love it. Lee should be invited on more often.
Thanks for that Rick! Entertaining as ever. Lee Westwood was an absolute champ for playing along.
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!
It makes my heart happy to hear someone call a pitch mark a “pitch mark” and not a divot 😂🤦♂️
Rick, That was one of the most enjoyable TH-cams I’ve watched in a long time.
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
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!

It’s great to see these professionals in a casual setting, their personality comes through and you get the inside
Hahaha the ball going into the water in the intro is awesome. What a shot!

That must have been James Robinson in the background blading an iron at Rick during the intro!!!!!
Westy is a star...great sense of humor, and is in my fantasy 4 ball.
One of your best videos to date!! Really really professional and fantastically put together to get a real feel of being there!! Great laugh to watch! Like being out with the lads
Good fun to watch, good laugh. That's how golf should be! Thanks Rick for cheering up my morning.
Rick: 56 degree
Lee: Are you sure?
Rick: yes
Lee: last chance Rick...Are you sure?
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
Caddie is like "my jobs safe " 🤣😂🤣😂
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.
Please do much more of this! I could watch it all day!

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*

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.
Very generous of Lee to take time out to help make this great video, really enjoyed it. Cheers Rick.
Really loved this video!! Love the banter between Rick and Lee! He seemed like a good sport.

This was extremely entertaining. This was just a lot of fun to watch. Thanks Lee for letting Rick do this!
0:42 FORE!

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.
What great use of player access! Awesome Lee, line of the video ...’Rick, your only doing half the job’....bravo!
