If you enjoyed Episode 1, head over to R&A TV to watch Rick take on James Anderson and Sophie Walker in Episodes 2 & 3. >>> go.oneclub.golf/BattleGolf

This was a surprisingly entertaining format! Nicely done!

This was good, but I miss the old days that got me following Rick. I loved the old gang of Rick, Pete, Matt, and Andy playing together when they took turns holding the camera. Nowadays that format would be ten times better with a camera crew and great editing. As long as Rick doesn't make it look too polished and keeps it natural.

Great course management by Rick on the first, couple of great lay ups to attack the pin position 😂😂

James taking the gap wedge out after hole #1… what a saint! For the sake of the video audience… and Rick finally at 11:45 realizes that he never thought how he would play the second and third hole if ‘he’ lost a club. James could afford to pick Drive, 52, & putter imagining he wasn’t going to lose a hole and would just drive , chip, and putt!

wow what an awesome surprise!!!

James taking the gap wedge knowing it won’t affect ricks score at all… what a gentleman 😅

Love it and a great trio of competitors❤

James saving the nation by taking the wedge out of Yip Shiels hands 😂 we can all come out from behind the sofa now

Cool format. I look forward to the next two.

Love these guys!

Love any thing Rick makes. Enjoying this video already. But noticed a few negative comments being deleted. Dont think thats cool

Think I would have gone driver, 6i, SW. Choke down on the driver, lean the hands forward a bit and you've got a serviceable putter. And if you lose the driver you still have a chance to hit a par 4 green in 2 shots, or a par 5 green in 3 shots, with the 6i and the SW. Nice content here, good change of pace. :-)

spring content in July. Well done

Yeah, first thing I thought was mid-iron, hybrid and putter. Or gap/mid/hyb. I putt almost as well without a putter. Interesting challenge. May take it up with my regular grassholes this week!

Solid press up game 👊

Trying to figure out who’s the worst chipper, Rick or Golf Mates Mr Barlow.🤔

Those greens are like fly paper!

Love when Rick plays with Robo.

Such poor club choices, but such great content! 😂

Here's a challenge for you. Start with full bag, every time you hit a club, you got to remove it from the bag (except putter). You do that over 5 holes!

Fun

Be interested to know when you filmed this Rick as im a member of old links and where you hit your drive on 10 and 12 you wouldnt be seeing either 1 again lol

What a handsome lad! Oh and James too i suppose

First hole...the 'pro' golfer ....does Dan Grieve do refunds?

fair play to james for letting rick win a hole

Rick has an excellent push up technique.

That was fun. Can’t understand the negative comments.

Three wood, six iron, sand wedge.

James is fun...

Wanting to watch the second challenge but have to register with my email address. I get enough spam, I don't need/want anymore.

No idea where the 3rd t shots went because you didn't show it

No customary 10 shot start for Rick Cheese?

Rick rocking tsr driver?

Using driver was a big mistake. What would golf sidekick say? Play like a baus!

*I pick James!* Rick is hitting everything to the right

Rick has the biggest cake in yt golf

On the first hole 3 duff chips... ' that was my club choice I feel' ..er..no..

Chipping still has open face and puling inwards. Really gotta fix that.

why taking the small gap into the thing and missed

Failed to mention the greatest bowler of all time in the title. 🤔

nice video but format is broken surely. win the first hole = win match?

However

Fair play Rick cause I couldn’t do 20 pushups lol

Ricks chipping 🤦‍♂️

Rick duffner 😭

Must be nice to just take a $2,000 customized gamer putter and try to whack it 100 yards out of a sketchy lie off the fairway. Why not show up with something 15 years old from the garage? Weird! What if it had some polymer insert? Not exactly made for ‘shots from a distance!’

need to work on your push-up technique, old boy

The R&A teaming up with Rick Shiels is a disgrace.

James wins easy…

At 4 min in, on the first hole, Rick whining about loft. And, what, in a 3 club Battle Golf challenge not being able to “open up” the face 2-4 degrees on his world class “Vohkee” wedges with various sole grinds just makes the ‘talk’ from his club trials and testing to playing on the course such a joke … hit the shot man… don’t wish for what you don’t have… if you had all your clubs hit a sand wedge or 60 degree… since you DON’T… which you knew from envisioning the comp and imagining which 3 clubs you would choose… get it there and say how you would play this shot with this club. No one really wants to listen to your whinging do they? Do you get more comments like “I wish Rick would whinge more about the unlucky, difficult situations he finds himself in.”? If you do, my bad… if you don’t, then get on with what James told you when he was your caddy… unless that was recorded after this. People have already called you out for not learning what you have been told!!

I only watched this because I thought Rick was playing James Robinson the KZfaq PGA. Rick has great length off the tea but not a great short game or control.

R&A can you not get someone else or have better content ideas? RS has his own channel doing this amateur v pro stuff. If you’re trying to promote the open or just this channel there are a million better ways and better ‘hosts’.

This was not a great format or video.

I am not interested in such format video😢

That's not James Robinson. I wanted to see KZfaqs James Robinson. 👎🏼

How is Rick so bad
