Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel! This YouTube channel is designed to help you play better golf, also to help you enjoy your golf more!

I specialise in golf equipment reviews, golf instruction & I play against some of the best golfers in the world!

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!

Exactly the reason why I subscribed to the channel. Tips and tricks - even when I already know them, the reminder is just perfect.

I really appreciate how Rick went through each tip, beginning with the tee box and all the way through the green. It’s such a great way to keep the viewer attention and at the same time go through the various ways the game of golf can test your patience in a seemingly natural way.

Best 2 tips for any golfer who struggles to break 85. Add one to the par of every hole to make the course a par 89/90, ignore everything else and make that your scorecard from now on. And secondly club up one on every approach to the green, you’ll hit 25% more greens

Great to see the old Rick I fell in love with. Simply explained and concise. Good job Rick.

This is a fantastic video!!! I am not new to golf but I am bad at golf and this hits for me. Thank you!!

[jaybird]

Must be some tour pros in these comments to give Rick crap about his golf game. 🙄

Thanks for the tips and tricks through the years Rick. They've really improved not only my game, but Ive been able to pass this advise along to other newer golfers I play with.

Best tips I have 1. don’t do a full swing on your drive, slow and straightish is better than long and occasionally straight 2. Spend more time practicing your short game more than anything else. You will hit wedge and putter more than driver 3. Play against your own score and keep good notes on what needs work 4. Show up early, sink a few practice puts and hit a few wedges before playing 5. Find an approach club and distance that you are confident with and include that in your strategy for the hole 6. Ignore every “this swing tip” video on YouTube - they create more problems than they solve 7. Don’t play with rule nazi’s ;-)

I love these videos, as a golfer of less than 1 year i got so many tips from going through ricks back catalogue and these types of videos are superb

About bunkers: I'd love to see a video about how to get out of the "public course" bunker. Those that have the sand as solid as cement

[Cmcmillen]

I’ve been watching Rick’s tips for YEARS and I’ve gotten better because of these honestly!

[dustyrhodes]

Greetings from Kentucky! Great videos!

[AndrewB]

Great videos, I'm just about to start playing again after 10 years and all these tips are brilliant... As a surprise the wife has bought me a set of Tour Edge HL4 clubs, obviously not measured for me but hoping I'll be able to play with them. Thanks for the very informative videos. 👍

[deldavies]

I tried several of these today and had a far more enjoyable round. Great video, thank you Rick.

Super helpful as always, Rick. Keep up the great work!

Rick, i’m 18 and I picked up golf 6 weeks ago. I would just like to say, your videos have helped me so much. My first round after a few range sessions i shot a 126, fast forward 4 weeks i would have never imagined I would be shooting in the low 90s and constantly improving, Thank You!!

[byronbeck]

I work with 3 ladies who are beginning their golf journey this Monday evening. I’ve forwarded this video to them to help them this summer. The timing couldn’t have been better 😉

[gkobi]

Broke 100 for the first time this weekend thank you!

[intgsr]

Great video!! I can't be the only one that was kind of expecting him to miss the last putt!! Well done Rick!!

[cyndiwikstrom]

Thanks Rick! My short game has suffered as my long game has improved (typical for me). These tips bring me back to some basics so I can improve my short game, take a few strokes off of my scorecard and see my handicap dip back down…hopefully 😂.

[gavinfinch]

Thanks for the tips! I watched your video on how to swing the club and it helped me start out strong!
