Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel RickShielsPGAGolf. This KZfaq 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.
If you enjoy the channel make sure you hit subscribe and also tap the notification bell so that you are always notified when I release a new video.

For league, you basically get off work, go straight to the course, "warming up" consists of half-assedly stretching and swinging a club around while you have a few sips of your first beer while you're waiting for your turn on the first tee. It's real blue-collar stuff lol.

@duffman18 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah I know nothing about golf, and all golf shots and swings look identical to me normally. But these videos really make it obvious - even to an idiot like me - just how good they are. Just how much better pro golfers are than regular golfers. Also I love the thing he does with these videos and he uses his editing software to show you the path of the ball in a big red line. Whenever I've watched golf on TV, they never seemed to have that, and instead always just seem to track the ball in the air even though with a shot like that, there's no reference points in the frame to tell you where the ball is or where it's going and how fast it's going, the shape of the arc, etc. So I dunno if modern day golf presentation on TV already does this thing Rick does. But if they don't, they desperately need to, because it demonstrates far more clearly what's going on I'm glad I found this channel. I never knew golf was so fascinating. I might actually try and play it again (well, I have never played on an actual golf course, I've only ever been to a driving range, and I was never any good at it, but I'll try again now)

A few years ago we had a couple of former University of Georgia team golfers come and play our semi-private course in middle Georgia. They had never played it before and both did pretty well. It is a par 71 course from the white tee playing 6750 yards. One of them shot 67 and the other shot 65. Mind you, it was a warm, late summer afternoon so the ball flew a bit better through the air. Having a nice cold beverage after the round, one of them commented that he thought the course wasn't that tough but course management was the key since there are so many risk/reward opportunities that a few bad decisions would cost several strokes. I mentioned that course management is the only way I play. It was a fun day for all.

I used to play in Punta Ala, which is one of the toughest courses in Italy. Matteo Manassero used to come there in the summer to train when he was in his prime. The average score in Punta Ala for a scratch golfer is over 74, Manassero scored 65 on a regular basis.

Hey, Rick! This is a great idea. I’d love to see more videos of tour pros playing normal golf courses, maybe even a par 3 course! Also, speaking for myself it’s fun to watch you play as well with the pro. Keep these videos coming, they’re fantastic. Sam is an incredible golfer and I look forward to following his career.

My biggest tip is to try and find a level of comfort in your swing. Dont try to hard, its just a game. If you have space to practice callaway makes great foam practice balls. They will fly quite a good distance. The thing i like most is the ball flight is pretty accurate. I use them for pitch shots in my yard and its more about contact and my swing. Working on my take away and follow through. Best of luck to you. Golf is so much fun, and theres tons of beautiful courses

Great fun Rick. The learning curve when watching and listening to a pro's analysis and shot formation decisions is always a a tremendous insight for my own game. I would recommend all amateurs save up and pay for a pro to pay 9 or a whole round with them every now and again as the learning curve is exponentially better than lessons on a practice range.

People think all pros are going to shoot sub 60, but they are conditioned to think that all pros shoot like the top pros for the week. When watching a tournament, they generally only show the top guys, so people assume everybody is knocking it to 10 feet from 180 every time. The general population's expectations aren't realistic, even for pros.

@TheToledoTrumpton 2 жыл бұрын

@@quiksix25 A lot of people will tell you the difference is their short game, but as you saw, when the greens are not perfect, it is still not easy. For me on an average course the main difference is just the accurate distance off the tee. A low amateur would score about the same if they dropped their ball in the same spot. The difference comes more on the harder tracks where the penalty for missing the fairway or green is greater and there are more unlevel lies, and the greens get faster. At that point they really are playing a completely different game, and it is one most amateurs never even get to play. Even if you do play one of the championship courses, it isn't set up in championship shape and it the tees are rarely at the back.

@quiksix25 2 жыл бұрын

@@TheToledoTrumpton I agree to a point, one thing I noticed was that they take max 3 strokes when they're anywhere near the green, and usually 2 (saw more than a few chip ins as well)- as you can guess though these aren't your average courses, they host a PGA event every year RSM Classic

Years ago, my brother-in-law played a round at a public course in Austin, TX with a PGA Tour pro, Omar Uresti. My BIL (who is a scratch golfer) outdrove Omar on pretty much every hole, and they were tied after 8 holes at even par. Then Omar birdied the next seven holes, ended up shooting 65 (which was the course record at the time)... my BIL shot even par and got SMOKED 😂

If you have the time to practice, and put on some more muscle, you can hit a 6 iron 220 yards like me-off the fairway like tens of thousands of other amateurs. I'm in my 60's and I occasionally use a 2 wood off the tee, but muscle back irons are 'my bag.' And stiff steel shafts since I started age 10. 2 iron; 6 iron and 8 iron are mostly what I use, find clubs you are naturally good at. True. Decent handicap you already have. I would like lessons, but never had the time. The trick of course is the short game to lower your handicap, from 150 yards including putting. Work in the sand traps, too. I learned from playing with my Dad, the Dallas, TX city amateur champ for 5 years in a row, then Ft. Worth for the 3 years we lived there, then hosting his own tournament annually at Incline Village for fun.

A quick story that this reminds me of. In the early 1980's Seve Ballesteros played an exhibition game in a course close to me in Ireland. It was the day after he won the Irish Open. The course is about 6900 yards from the tips, so with equipment changes probably played then like a 7200, 7300 yard course plays these days. It's hosted all of the biggest Irish amateur tournaments, so it's not a cakewalk. I'm sure it was set up fairly tough, it must have been the biggest day in the club's history. Anyway, without his regular caddie and focusing more on chatting with the spectators, he casually knocked it around in 68, four under. Bit of an eye opener.
