Those wonderful golfers who criticise a 2 handicapper's golf swing on what is purely an entertainment video are just showing jealousy because they probably paid a fortune in lessons to get someone to tell them they'll never be as good. Seb played some great golf and you were both great to watch.

SEB is a great addition to the video catalogue

I’m a simple man, I see the Rick Shiels Podcast, I click and watch.

Drive for show, Putt for dough(makes you the money). 1: Driver, 2: Putting, 3: Irons, 4: Balls

Re Guy's comment at 11.10 about Dunstanburgh being a bit remote, you don't need to travel far to find a range of lovely courses in the area such as Bamburgh and the two in Alnmouth; such a great part of the world.

What Guy said at 45.00 is a point we discuss regularly amongst my playing group at our club. We're mid-high handicappers and we often win our club Texas Scrambles comps and we put it down to this. 4x mid-high handicappers are much more likely to hit shots they can't always replicate than a low handicapper is to play out of their skin and hit shots they don't often hit. We think if there was a maximum team handicap in the scramble comps it would help this but we're often thought of as bandits because of this even though all of our handicaps are accurate.

I'm lucky to live not too far away from Dunstanburgh so I've played it a few times. Agree it's a cracking course. Westwood likes to play it also. I can highly recommended Goswick as well, which is near by.

I did NOT expect that podcast ending. Kind of nice you guys can keep it light and keep it going with interesting topics. Have you guys ever consider discussing the topic of golf and value/cost in various countries? For example, I'm from Czech Republic, my parents got me into golf, but I now live in the US. The amount of money that the sport costs in Europe is lot higher than in the US, at least from my experience. Do you feel this leads to popularity differences and potentially why the sport still has a snobby appearance to others?

This will go nicely in the background for work! Looking forward to the Bullard match fellas

I’m here for golf and laughing over family and football. I love it!

I LOVE odd/different golf swings. For me, Jim Furyk's swing is the most graceful beautiful swing I have ever seen. Yeh you can appreciate the perfect "classic swing", but if you have a funky swing and still crush it, that for me is perfection.

Them screen shots from the £28 golf course drone needs to go on the hit "window" looks special.

Loved the action man eyes Rick gives Guy after he calls him out about the fittings 😂 Dunstanburgh is a quality track and in a lovely part of the country with welcoming locals also. We stayed in Seahouses when we went up there

I live in Alnwick which isn't far from Dunstanburgh. I used to be a member there, its an awesome course and for the price, excellent. It gets very busy with visitors, especially in the winter, when other courses are a soggy mess or closed. There are some very good courses not far from Dunstanburgh. Alnmouth Foxton, Bamburgh Castle, and Goswick Links. All are great courses with the cost of green fees still being reasonable, Goswick is probably the most expensive at around £100.

I agree with Guy...irons are the MOST important fitting in your bag with putter being a close second.

I know the area well and it’s worth three hours drive from anywhere. I stayed nearby for a week when I was 16 (a long time ago). I bought a one week junior pass for unlimited golf and played a couple of times a day. It was £8 for the week and worth every penny.

i live in Johnson City Tennessee and, yes, golf can be affordable to play. at a local public course operated by the city, Pine Oaks Golf Course, they have what is called "health imitative" play. for $10 U.S. dollars you can get in 9 holes. the requirement is that you walk. it starts after the last cart goes out for the day. this is usually 2 hours before twilight begins. they also have all day walking for about, i think $15. either of them is a good deal. most of the cost of any course goes into maintenance, keep tee boxes, fairways and greens pristine, a way i think can cut down on cost, in the long run, is too convert tee boxes and greens to artificial turf, no pitch or divots to repair to slow the rate of play. i would also get rid of raking the bunkers. anormal game of 18 with a cart is i think 28 weekly and 33 from Friday-Saturday and Sunday and on any holiday linked to a weekend. another good deal. private and members only courses will have to open up to the general public if they are to survive. this is one way to do it.

Well that’s Dunstanburgh castle ruined now lads, cheers! Ryan - 38 Northumberland 🤣🤣

Funny, was in Airlie Beach recently contemplating a round of golf on Hamilton Island. Googled the course and came across your old video on the Hamilton Island. 👌

Of course I noticed Serb’s unorthodox swing but thought of how beautiful my swing looks if you don’t pay attention to where the ball ends up. Remember people, Jim Furyk was the original Mr. 58. Nobody would tell JF to change up his swing

OMG!! Rick I'm flying out to Oz from the UK next week & I'm playing Hamilton Island on the 21st November!!!! hearing you say this has just absolutely made my day!!!!!!!

Regarding the value for money chat, the course that I play at is only £9 for a round! It's not the best quality course but you can't beat 50p per hole for value. It's Millfield Golf Club in Laughterton (Lincolnshire) and I reckon it would make a cracking Break 75 episode!

Tuesday: slept in too long but still woke up in time to listen to this wonderful podcast on the way to work. COVID got me in the clubhouse and here I will stay!

Gentlemen, I've been watching and listening for I'm guessing to Rick for 8-9 years. I remember watching that Australian video when it came out. So maybe it has been longer than I think. I have always loved doing both but some of us out here in the world do have other things to do do. I didn't need more. 😂 My wife thinks I'm ready for the institution already. Thanks guys. Wonderful show as usual

Play Dunstanburgh a few times a year as my local club have a deal with them were we get it for £20! Played a captains away day a few weeks back £35 for a round of golf, bacon sarnie and coffee before the round and soup and sandwiches post round. Absolute bargain! For anyone interested in March there is a 3 man team scratch event on and its £15pp. Great podcast as always fellas. ⛳️

Played Dunstanburg early 2000 a few times and I got totally taken, clubhouse so cosy. Another one is Goswick a bit north.

Much love to Seb. I can't wait for more Rick/Seb videos. :)

My local golf club has a Trackman driving range where you can calibrate the shots to adjust as if you were hitting a ProV1 and also if there were no wind/rain etc. So the tech is definitely there

Your editors deserve massive credit for rolling you in glitter every week😊

Thoroughly enjoyed the Perth boys chat. I’m also from Perth. Very down to earth interview. Guy that’s what you were alluding to re golf clubhouse - you felt at ease and comfortable because the atmosphere was down to earth. I love SEB for that reason too.

Guy is right, i started playing golf in july and i was so nervous just going to the driving range until i realised nearly no one hits its consistently or well even

My local Top Tracer is the other way around - says I hit the ball X distance but I normally hit it 20-30yds further on the course. The one I use has a hole that runs alongside one of the sides of the driving range, the tee-box is pretty much in line with the range mats. The range ball obv goes nowhere but corrected the distances still seem off.

Yes, my taylormade set was 64 dollars brand new p-3 iron. The course I play have player improvement memberships for 50 a month, with a minimum of three months upfront. Which include unlimited range, free clinics, and free walking rounds after 3pm. I played a round for 11 dollars on the executive course, and can play the championship course for 30 with cart after 2. Its can be as expensive or inexpensive as you choose.

Im from northumberland and for many years i was a member of dunstanburgh castle golf club in embleton,played at least 3 times a week,great golf course,should try alnmouth village about 30 minutes south,oldest nine hole golf couse in england,i was a junior member there to

Over the weekend Dunstanburgh charge £40 for Bacon Sarnie & Cuppa, Golf then soup, sarnie and chips after. It's amazing value and one of the best courses up on the NE coast!

Kingsbarns is also a few miles from any big town!

Best Golf Podcast on YT

Dunstanburgh is unreal. I played it first about 8 years ago for £15! My other half is from the NE (I'm a Midlander) so anytime we head North I like to take the sticks and play some links! Would recommend Warkworth too, only a 9 holer but lovely little track!

Where does Guy fall on a Tony Finau or John Rahm? They have unorthodox swings and short back swings but still get it out there.

Got damn haters. I love unorthodox success. Basketball, golf, many other sports. It’s so relieving and good to see

Love listening to guys every week, love the content, love the videos. Going into winter league this weekend, struggling with confidence, can't hit an iron to save my life. So I've reverted back to Slazenger Big Ezee's. 😂😂 I'm a high handicap any simple tips cheers Matt Sayer

After a long break from golf just had my taylormade rac re shafted and back at it great vids guys getting some good tips and realising i am not good enough to get angry when it goes wrong 👍

The dunstanburgh castle golf course looks amazing

i quit playing for 18 years cause of the cost. Now I hav3 found my passion again. Still hitting same clubs because I cant afford new ones or good new ones but i hope soon I can. Having a child then my wife being diagnosed with a tumer in the Pituitary gland has set us back but things are looking up now. I hope!!!

Just had ball fitting very interesting as sometime slightly hitting up on 7 iron but spin low but got the height to save it went from tp5 to titleist tour soft as for results

I commented, and it wasn't supposed to be negative. I just said that when people say "swing your swing" just do that, look how good he was with the unique swing. Nothing negative, but look how good he is.

My recipe for cheap golf... 1- If you have a buddy with a membership and free guest passes...PLAY THERE! 2- Never buy "new" clubs. Buy them next year on clearance. And if you look around there can still be fitting options for those clubs. 3- Find an affordable non-premium ball that can suit your game and stick with it. Always look for sales on that ball and buy volumes when you find them. 4- Assuming you don't have a buddy where you can play free golf then find 3 or 4 courses near you that have reasonable greens fees. May not be the best but are certainly adequate. Also, check in the clubhouse if they have days with reduced greens fees or in some cases they'll have days where perhaps you can "win" something. I have 2 course near me, both of them on Wednesdays have what they call casino day. You basically roll dice and can win anything from a free round or even apparel or balls. You always win something.

Random i know but can i just say.... Rick's beard is on point 😂😂 fantastic podcast guys well done!! 😎👌

Golf can be affordable but there are a lot of clubs up themselves in the UK charging crazy money for a round in 23. Living in Birmingham I'm surrounded by them. Inaccessible with inflated green fees. As with a lot of things there's deals out there and welcoming clubs. Equipment hasn't really moved on that significantly and I still use clubs from circa 10 years ago.

Played Dunstanburgh a few times and I agree it's a Belter. Just a 3 hour drive away for me though

Yep, $20 with a cart at the local muni. It's awesome. $49/month for unlimited PM rounds (cart not included)

Rick we need to see reviews for the Q adjustable loft 11 in 1 golf club, the wooden putter and Bryson DeChambeau's long-drive driver I need to see all Also, that break 75 with hybrid irons that you promised!

I would kill to have Seb’s swing. Guy said it right, it’s pure jealousy. My man must be doing something right, he’s played Augusta and the true highlight was playing a break 75 with Rick. Whilst all the jealous fools are looking for the perfect swing, Seb has already figured out that aesthetics mean nothing in this game. Bravo Seb, bravo! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Somebody tag me in the video of the kid running over his dad in the golf kart 😂😂😂

As for ball fittings iv found a kirkland to be the best ball for me with 60° to 6i, then 5 to driver i need a super low spinning which for me iv found the callaway triple track chrome soft to be the one. I hit a kirkland or prov1 off the tee with driver and it creates far too much spin

Would love to see a match at Braemar GC in Aberdeenshire (The highest golf course in UK). The ball goes miles in the thinner air and there are no bunkers IIRC

I'm slowly being priced out of my own club unfortunately. Running costs and supplier costs have caused them to put up the membership too much to still survive and I am struggling on my wage ☹

SEB should reply to the trolls: “How many of your swings have taken you around Augusta National?”

Weirdly I think the only thing that could make these podcasts better would be to INCLUDE Jeremy Clarkson!

Cannot believe Seb's swing is getting grief. 1 - if you are higher than a 2 handicap, you have no right to abuse. 2 - if you are going to abuse Seb, then give Jon Rahm grief too, because swing is not text book. Ridiculous!

Have you found that hitting on a simulator destroys your golf balls and lose distance and accuracy? How often do you switch golf balls or are there better balls to use more so than others?

love these podcasts. just a small point, why have you never come to Lincolnshire to play golf, there are some amazing gold courses in and around Lincoln

Rick, I enjoyed the unorthodox swing conversation. Are you familiar with the old Canadian golfer moe norman?

Green fees are generally too expensive. Covid was the best and worst thing to happen to golf. The world and his brother started playing, now the courses are packed with players who can't really play, standards are dropping in etiquette and prices go up through supply and demand. Actually thinking of giving up and once played to 4

There is one link missing in the description. The Rick Shiells Golf Show is not listed there!

I play and learned golf on a community trust owned golf course in birmingham - its 10 pound for twice around a 9 hole course.

A putter fitting? What in tarnation? A putting lesson makes sense but like a putter fitting? Na fam I equally suck with all putter lol

As part of our RAF Boulmer society we get membership we get full membership for £200…!!! We also get membership of goswick for £200….😅😅😅

I love Guys bants!

Ebotse Links in South Africa, brilliant course for R320 (£15) including a cart.

I read some of the comments on the video with Seb, people did mention his swing was unorthodox, because it is, but people were impressed with how well he plays. I didn't see anyone talking bad, granted I didn't read every comment, but I think you are guys are stretching the narrative there.

SEB’s the man. People are just upset they work for the “perfect” swing but can’t perform like the man

I love watching people with beautiful golf swings shoot 100 😂

Great show, you have to come back to Australia 🇨🇰

rick i've been meaning to mention to you to test the new wilson ultra balls. i found a couple recently and i swear they fly/play/feel like a prov1. but i need your expert opinion! cheers mate!!

I pay 1200 dollar a year for unlimited golf with cart and range included.

I love your fantastic podcast Rick and Guy

WOOOHOOO podcast day!

Love that shirt Rick

Lads, there are some brilliant value golf courses out there just like Dunstanburgh (sp?) Played Halifax Golf Club last Sunday with Jamie, and I’m not lying when I say I enjoyed it more than Royal Liverpool which I played about 6 weeks back. Halifax is £25 a round on GolfNow. 👍

I’d rather have Seb’s swing and hit under par than have tiger’s swing and hit over par

I try and play golf every weekend. It i just my time to get away so it is well worth it

Re toptracer, I feel like the one at trafford golf goes 10% further than I would hit on the course with premium balls, kind of confused

What would a trip to play good links golf in UK cost a man from the United States....for like a 4 days or 5 days of golf ....dont have to stay in most expensive hotels .....just would like to play true links golf in UK if i had to sleep in tent every night lol .....was curious if it could be done for 5 thousand u.s.

Love the pod casts but I'm true blue 😂

Answer to your title: Until you try something that was not a part of a beginner kit.

Love this channel!

Hopefully the merch price point is not from outer space like some others. 😁😁😁😁😁

I actually love the top big G 😂

The game is Not Golf Swing, it's Golf.

Golf is cheap if you don’t include your time. It can be expensive if you want it to be.

Tops sick rick

Putter is number 1 the only club you use every hole

But Rick & Guy, where's your poppy?

I can't stand Pro V1 balls. I hit straighter drives and hit spinny-er wedges with the Vice balls. Both the Pro and Pro Plus. I don't get the hype behind the Pro V1. I'd rather play a TP5, Srixon Z Star or Vice TBH.

Short answer is no! Golf is expensive. Just to start equipment for a set of clubs that will last you 5-10 years. On the low end $300.00 bucks And that's being very generous. Regular set of regular not name brand but new will cost you 300 bucks for just the irons wedge thur 4 iron. If you want sand wedge mid grade $60 bucks each and you need at least 2. Putter will run you about $50 bucks. Now driver and 3 wood and rescue wood Is going to run you at least another $250 bucks and that's bottom of the barrel cheap. My driver cost $450 and it was last years model used. 3 wood and rescue wood $500 My irons last years model used $650. 2 new wedge $110 bucks each. Putter $300 bucks. Got bag $160 bucks. Total was just over 2 grand for me. Someone starting the game from start your looking at about $400 bucks plus bag and balls and tees and gloves and shoes so more like around $600. Now that's a set that might lay a few years until you get better and want better equipment. Hahaha Then just start adding a grand to every level up on your equipment as you get better. Round of golf with range balls and a cart on average $70-$100 bucks a round a sprite on the turn will cost you $7 bucks lol hot dog $7 bucks 😜 So yes it's expensive but if you fall in love with it.... then its the best way to keep your wife happy and you get your man days away from the crazy lady at home.

We need to hear about the Guiness Challenge controversy. We need to know the dirt Rick!

Rick - as an avid Northumberland visitor and Dunstanburgh player… please remove all evidence! Need to gatekeep my favourite place 😂

One of the clubs I'm a member of here in Bristol is £70 a month. It has 3 courses and a decent range. Golf is as expensive as you are willing to make it..

i think a good golfer with a bad swing is infuriating to some people. Like how can that result be that good with a swing that looks like that. Like when a ferrari is beaten in a drag race by some dodge hellcat. its just infuriating LOL
