Hey Rick it isn’t letting me enter you give away on the last vid but I love your channel and I live just out side St. Andrews in Cupar where there is the oldest nine hole course in the world. I would love to get a prize or something from you
Absolutely loved this 2 parter Rick. You've gotta make a mini series going around different cities and doing the same thing as what you've done here. Great content 👏👏👏👍
Probably the best thing I've seen on not only TH-cam but any network in a long time. Reminds me of my dad and grandad getting into golf for the first time.
I love having two part videos like this, especially when they dont feel like 2 parters. From a "Social Media" Standpoint, it reinforces that you're telling a story of sorts. Its a really good release flow.
I still use that exact Big Bertha wood (except it's a 7 wood) to this day. It's a great club and feels amazing to me. It's the only old club in my bag I haven't replaced yet.
Im wondering if i have a bogus set of clubs then. I bought them for $200 about 10 years ago but only started playing within the last 3 years...every club 3w thru 6 iron goes 135-150...7-9 about 100...all of em straight as an arrow but i dont see how 3w thru 6 iron can all go the same distance
Rick, all I can say is you get to live the stuff of golfer's dreams. I am sure many of us tear up watching you in these videos. Your enthusiasm and often your sense of youthful wonder is infectious. Keep doing what you do.
"I'm in love with life." Your positivity is infectious. Absolutely loved this 2 part episode, I hit the bell after the first one so I'd get notified. So good!
What I love about this video and the other videos you have made where you play with really cheap clubs, is it reinforces that the key component to playing good golf isn't the equipment, it's the golfer. Thank you for your consistently entertaining videos.
It’s so true, you can genuinely see how much joy he is having. I bet if you asked him this is probably the most fun he’s had making a video in some time.
Rick, it’s been howling down snow here in Carnoustie today, the course is closed, so have just watched your 2 videos….a great way to spend 40 minutes or so. Great memories of the Ladies Open too and the very generous Chloe Williams who made time for my daughter at 18.👏👍👍
This maybe the best video you've ever put on TH-cam Rick, thank you for doing this, as we've enjoyed your joy! What I've learned the most after watching this video Rick? You've finally found thee Putter, that you always needed! If we've learned nothing but the fact that golf is very old, and what is old in golf, will be new again in the future, because golf is timeless.
Great 2 part series there Rick. Really enjoyed seeing St Andrews. Your "negotiating" skills paid off showing us that you don't need the fanciest clubs to enjoy a game.
As soon as Rick said thats going to be in his Top5. I thought of how much golf were getting to see from Rick this year with his break 75 I think I'd love to see a year end recap of something like his Top 5 holes, Top 5 drives, Top 5 chips, Top 5 putts, Top 5 scrambles, Top 5 lip outs
Thanks for the mega 2 parter Rick. It took me back 37 years, when me and 3 buddies took the train to St Andrews for a week of golf, using similar clubs - great memories, since forgotten brought back to life... thank you. On a side note, 61 dislikes...WTF is wrong with those people? Clearly not golfers.
Rick goes out and buys some old clubs and plays well with them the first time out ... I wish I could play as well as that with the clubs I've been using for the past 6 years! Great vid!
This goes to show you that the clubs don't make much difference in most golfers. I have a set of 1998 clubs that still hit as good as a brand new set, except for the lack of spin due to the worn faces.
@@Hans-MVauEs yeah, while new clubs can provide more forgiveness and more grip on the ball than old clubs, unless you are a really good golfer, you'll never benefit from the exorbitant costs of new clubs. One thing I have noticed hitting new clubs vs mine is weight. My clubs are heavy compared to new graphite shafted clubs, so I can swing the new ones a lot easier.
@@miguelitoaniceto5882 I wish I could reshaft my irons. Maybe one day I'll find some graphite shafts for cheap that I can use. I need to get the swing weight down on my clubs.
Loved part 1 from this. Also saw you, Pete and Matt were at the pub together the other night. Outstanding!! Can not wait for the course vlogs of the 4 OG’s playing together again!!
I watch your videos often and had a good laugh when I saw your excitement finding the Ping Eye 2 1 iron in St Andrews. I own a full set of Ping Eye 2's that I bought used about 30 years ago. Black dot 1 iron thru PW. I love them as much today as day 1. I've had them reshafted a dozen times due to early rage at poor shots. The fitter at Edwin Watts store would call the hand full of broken clubs I brought him weekly a "bouquet" of heads, lol, as each head had 4 or 5 inches of broken shaft hanging out of the heads. No more rage, as age has brought a touch of maturity....no...self control. Anyway, love your videos...love to reminisce about the 45 hole Marathon days. Along with my Anser 2, circa Greg Norman putter, I wouldn't change a thing. I can't do it anymore, but nothing beats flushing the Ping Eye 2 off the deck on a par 5,. Hoping to putt for eagle. Oh, Rick, also carry a 14 and 20 degree Orlimar Tri metal fairway woods...with the rails under. F.....ing love it. Thanks for the memories!
I played St Andrews in 1983 without even knowing how special it was. I took a train ride from Edinboro ( sp) while in the United States Marine Corp reserves, by myself on a weekend. Can't remember the details but played St. Andrews as a walk on new golfer w a rental set. I had no idea how special a place it was, and didn't appreciate until 10 years later when I got hooked on golf. Go figure.
Loved this Rick. I lived in St A for 17 years! Have played ALL of the holes and know every one of them. It is a special place. I left the town last year but couldn't give up my links ticket, so we bought a holiday home and are now back every weekend, and am still playing the links....the late summer evenings, with the long shadows
At 40 years old Rick, I have just started playing golf, and I have to say every video I watch of yours inspires me even more… Thanks pal, and keep them coming
Love it! Now a month into my new job at the local municipal par 3 course, not a pitch and put, in Loughborough and keep telling the players that Rick is the guy to follow on TH-cam. I also am loving life after lock down and getting back into golf after almost 20 years away from the game. Soon be into those dew laden, misty early autumn mornings with low sun rising through the trees, can't wait.
Rick I have recently taken up golf more seriously and with my very limited budget your videos have helped me tremendously. Thank you for your passion for the game and sharing your knowledge!
Loved this video, was looking forward to part 2 and it really didn't disappoint! Easy to forget to enjoy yourself while playing and i just might look to find some of my junior clubs second hand after that for the memories!
It's wonderful to see how happy you are Rick. Not just in your golf but in your life in general! I love your content so much. It's never stale, always warm-hearted, and just brings joy to those of us who love this crazy game. Cheers!
One of your best videos ever! Also, I love that you mentioned one of my other favorite channels STACKED GOLF in part 1. It’s a true bucket list trip for me to make it to St. Andrews. It probably won’t ever happen, but a guy can dream, right? Thanks for doing what you do!
The top flight xl-2000 brought back memories. Taking my Dad’s 9i and hitting it around the property growing up. Thanks for the trip down memory lane Rick!
Loved this video! I'm new to golf via my father-in-law giving me his old clubs from the mid 90's and I'm completely in love with the game. Never thought I would hear myself saying that about golf. It was nice to see you do so well with those older clubs. Gives me some hope that these older clubs I'm using will be just fine!
Well done, Rick! Golf is not just the game for life, it is the game OF life! The old Scots who invented the game knew what they were doing. Golf teaches the player about life, it's lows and highs, and its triumphs and failures. Golf can never be conquered, but it can be learned from. It does not make character, but it reveals character.
I'll second the idea of a collab. Maybe sort of like the Golfbidder challenge, but Rick gives Stacked Golf a tiny budget (maybe $100 or less) where they go out and buy the clubs for him and then he plays a round with those clubs...
New to the channel and never comment on stuff, but the happiness on your face in the secondhand shop… 100 percent me too. Looking at all the old top line stuff. Wish we had more of that in Canada. And growing up a golfer without much money - all I could do was wish and hope. I would get the Golf Digest new club issue every year and just salivate. Meanwhile playing an ancient set of hand-me-downs. I now indulge the same way. Although, I was never an XL 2000 guy. Preferred the XL. Loved the video.
This was great! I just discovered your channel (Rick) this past year, as I've gotten back into playing golf after being away for the past 25+ years. I really enjoyed watching you with Jon and Ash thrifting in the US, too, and saw this previous video of you thrifting in St. Andrews, then playing the course! So much fun and I'm learning so much from you. Please do more videos like this one! Now, I'm late for work, but can't wait to see more of your stuff. Thank you for taking us along for the ride!
Just a joy to watch, and we all know those epic feelings of elation followed by despair that golf brings as the round progresses. Sitting here with 12 new inches of snow and no golf to be played in this locale any time soon, your videos are the hope of returning to a bit of golf normalcy. Thank you.
Really enjoyed watching these two videos at St. Andrews. Your enthusiasm is what made them fun to watch. I follow Stacked Golf and you would have fun visiting them and going thrifting with them.
Love seeing you giddy like a kid on the course, I think I smiled as much as you did while walking the streets and playing St. Andrews which is a dream of mine!! Def need more 2 parters in the same fashion. Enjoying a beautiful city/town, buying some hand me downs then shredding a few holes. Well done sir. Thanx for that 👍
I was so happy as you started so well I was teary eyed. Then you pulled the spoon. I held my breath. And two left handed putts! I was crying for you at the end.
Rick you make me happy and just want to get out on a course and play . I look forward to getting home from my boring job each day and watching your vids . You really brighten up my day !! Cheers ..
Traveled from NZ for the Pipe Band World Champs and I played Jubilee with some hire clubs in August 2018 with some retired PE teachers and they made the experience even more enjoyable than it could have been. Brought back some amazing memories and I want to go back. Love the video.
A mate of mine put me onto Rick Shiels as I have started to get into Golf and his content is outstanding! Just enjoying it all! Thanks for the amazing content!
Thank you sir, just goes to show you don't need an expensive set of clubs. Just a great passion and an amazing swing and most importantly, have fun Thanks Rick, always look forward to seeing your videos and posts on Instagram.
your pure joy of playing golf made this video my absolute favorite so far. keep them coming, please. though the last few holes remind me of my game. which has gotten much better, thank you sir!
Been watching a lot, I mean a lot of your videos and I haven't seen such pure enjoyment in you playing a round as much as I have in this video. And the previous video of you shopping was quite enjoyable as well.
I hit like before watching. That's how happy I am to see another Rick video. This is undoubtedly as close as I'll ever get to playing St. Andrews, so, thanks Rick!
Brilliant Rick, love it. Reminded me I must go back to St Andrews soon. Had a fantastic weekend 13 years ago with two of my brothers and my best buddy at the time, best golf trip ever for me and so many great memories.
Another fun video! This shows that it's not necessarily the "arrow" but the "Indian"! When I began playing golf in the late 70's you had to HIT a good shot to GET a good shot. Nothing compared with a solid "on the screws" drive or a sweet spot strike with a forged blade! I recently cleaned out my old clubs and donated them to the local Hospice Store. Those old blades were hard to part with but I'm too old to use them and their faces were worn down. I hope Rick does more videos with the old clubs!
Love your videos. They are so honest and fun to watch. They make me feel like it’s me the one who is playing or buying the clubs. Regards from Guatemala.
When you spotted those DCI's on the shelf, my heart sank. I had a those once. 1 through LW on stock steel shafts. Bought them in the late 90's but had to sell them in 2008 when the housing market crashed (bk). Golf clubs, and fishing gear. Gone. I already hit a 7.5 degree driver, a Titleist 907D2, but those irons would be a nice gift. 😉 Thanks for sharing your experience Rick. ✌🏻⛳️
Watch the video of me buying the clubs here: th-cam.com/video/zN5t_kk_ZeA/w-d-xo.html
Rickie, I think we need a little garage simulator data from home. That 7.5 degree driver might be a trendsetter of the future!
Love the yonex bag, it rocks.
Hey Rick it isn’t letting me enter you give away on the last vid but I love your channel and I live just out side St. Andrews in Cupar where there is the oldest nine hole course in the world. I would love to get a prize or something from you
Love this video a d couldn't wait for it to be released. More great videos from you guys
Just fantastic to watch
Absolutely loved this 2 parter Rick. You've gotta make a mini series going around different cities and doing the same thing as what you've done here. Great content 👏👏👏👍
Couldn’t agree more👍
Probably one of the best golf videos I’ve watched since I’ve joined the golf world love these 2 parts
Well said, really enjoyed these 2 vids, clealy ignited some nostalgia fuelled passion there!
That would definitely make for some great stuff, especially if he could do it in different countries over time. See all different regional quirks
Defo this is great

Great way to showcase the highs and lows of the game we love, while demonstrating we don’t all need the latest and greatest equipment😁 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hell yeah! I hit fairways all the time, just not the hole I'm playing on
@@jackraylongiii9663 lmao big facts!
Im wondering if i have a bogus set of clubs then. I bought them for $200 about 10 years ago but only started playing within the last 3 years...every club 3w thru 6 iron goes 135-150...7-9 about 100...all of em straight as an arrow but i dont see how 3w thru 6 iron can all go the same distance
@@djc1485 hmmm... you may be hitting them wrong. Maybe get a lesson or go see your local pro for some free advice :)
@@djc1485 do the balls come off the club at different heights/angles at least?
Rick, all I can say is you get to live the stuff of golfer's dreams. I am sure many of us tear up watching you in these videos. Your enthusiasm and often your sense of youthful wonder is infectious. Keep doing what you do.

Definitely much more enjoyable when the person is enjoying themselves in what they are doing. Definitely infectious.
Man there’s just something about watching Rick play golf!!! Absolutely fantastic.
Loving the smiles and the energy and how much you enjoyed that!! 👌👍
Thanks so much!!
It’s make watching so much greater when you see the person watching is genuinely enjoying themselves. Completely infectious
What I love about this video and the other videos you have made where you play with really cheap clubs, is it reinforces that the key component to playing good golf isn't the equipment, it's the golfer. Thank you for your consistently entertaining videos.
Glad to see you gave the shout out out Stacked Golf and enjoyed the experience of purchasing and playing used clubs.
Definitely was super cool of him to admit where he got the idea from. Hopefully they get a nice jump in subscribers and viewers from this.
Honestly the best video you’ve made in a long time, and they’re all great 😂 unbridled joy is infectious and difficult to replicate
It’s so true, you can genuinely see how much joy he is having. I bet if you asked him this is probably the most fun he’s had making a video in some time.
Is it just me or does it seem like Rick always plays better whenever he uses older clubs?
Hahahaha honestly yes. Channels his youth probably.
i think you naturally do better when you feel like you’re not being competitive
@@Shakedown1969 Very true
Plays without expectations and overthinking.
It's probably that he's more relaxed given the expectations are lower.

This was excellent. Courses some of us will never play except through true gentlemen like you. Thank you for the epic journeys, Rick!!!
I played Strathyrum at Saint Andrews in 2019. (and played my best round to date) never say never.

You show us, why golf is not only a game, you show us, why it is a passion!!!!
When rick goes to a thrift store for old clubs but yet plays with the exact 3+ wood that im using in my bag right now
Hahahaha that’s awesome. It’s a great looking club though.
It's a great club
Watching a grown, jaded golfer having fun...love it!!
Loved these two part videos! One of my favourite videos! It’s great to see old clubs being used and with great results! Keep the content flowing! ❤️

Great content and great vibes as always Rick. You're a true credit to the game. Well done
Seriously! Stumbling across his videos last year was one the best things and got my interest and got me into the game and so glad he did.
Will be playing this in a few weeks, weather will be just a little bit different I expect.
Mate . Loved this 2 parter . Really opened my eyes up to the retro clubs rather than striving for the latest newest . Keep it up dude 👍
Some of the clubs of 20 years ago go almost as far and are as fun to hit as the new stuff
@@kimgallagher490 dont forget the xl2000 ball was giving him an extra 10 yards ! 😁

Thrift Shop!! Alright Macklemore 😂
Macklemore took your Grandpa's style
Rick took your Grandpa's clubs (and his hat 😂)
Really enjoyed watching these two videos at St. Andrews. Your enthusiasm is what made them fun to watch. I follow Stacked Golf and you would have fun visiting them and going thrifting with them.
Imagine if the final round of the masters required you to use “classic” clubs
And that ladies and gentleman is why Rick is the at the forefront of You Tube Golf, quite simply class!
Rick love the enthusiasm, the old school clubs and the great scenery of St. Andrews!
Love seeing you giddy like a kid on the course, I think I smiled as much as you did while walking the streets and playing St. Andrews which is a dream of mine!!

your pure joy of playing golf made this video my absolute favorite so far. keep them coming, please.
though the last few holes remind me of my game. which has gotten much better, thank you sir!
You are so right about how you were feeling about your day. I was laughing and ooing with you. Great fun and awesome day. Cheers Rick.
Been watching a lot, I mean a lot of your videos and I haven't seen such pure enjoyment in you playing a round as much as I have in this video. And the previous video of you shopping was quite enjoyable as well.
It’s a pleasure to see you enjoy the game so much! Glad I’m not the only one who talks to the ball mid-flight!
Rick I played Jubilee this past Oct loved it shot a 79
Just watched both of the St Andrew’s videos . Best you Tube golf I have seen for a long time . Good work Rick
These last two videos are literally every golfers bucket list. Amazing content
I hit like before watching. That's how happy I am to see another Rick video. This is undoubtedly as close as I'll ever get to playing St. Andrews, so, thanks Rick!
Brilliant Rick, love it. Reminded me I must go back to St Andrews soon. Had a fantastic weekend 13 years ago with two of my brothers and my best buddy at the time, best golf trip ever for me and so many great memories.
What a fun day on the golf course. Great followup to to used club shopping, classics
Another fun video! This shows that it's not necessarily the "arrow" but the "Indian"! When I began playing golf in the late 70's you had to HIT a good shot to GET a good shot. Nothing compared with a solid "on the screws" drive or a sweet spot strike with a forged blade! I recently cleaned out my old clubs and donated them to the local Hospice Store. Those old blades were hard to part with but I'm too old to use them and their faces were worn down. I hope Rick does more videos with the old clubs!
The hat is all about style, and you've got it. Sensational video displaying the joy of golf and being in the moment. Thanks.
Amazing job with the second hand clubs Rick.
wow those clubs are beautiful, and the wear and tear makes them look beautiful
This was my favorite video in a long time! Always wanted to play over there. I was the Top Flight king back in the day!!
Love your videos. They are so honest and fun to watch. They make me feel like it’s me the one who is playing or buying the clubs. Regards from Guatemala.
When you spotted those DCI's on the shelf, my heart sank. I had a those once. 1 through LW on stock steel shafts. Bought them in the late 90's but had to sell them in 2008 when the housing market crashed (bk). Golf clubs, and fishing gear. Gone. I already hit a 7.5 degree driver, a Titleist 907D2, but those irons would be a nice gift. 😉 Thanks for sharing your experience Rick. ✌🏻⛳️
“I’m loving life” that’s what it’s all about man, seeing you so happy actually makes me feel happy, thank you 😊
Your joy is why we golf! Thanks Rick!
Fun video to watch and glad you had a good time making it for us! Loved the old lumber Rick. Thank you!
