Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel RickShielsPGAGolf. This UKposts 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.

@mobyman440 2 роки тому
Another tip that helped me when I was learning. 5 strokes per hole is 90. If you bogey a par 4, not a problem. Double bogey a par 4 and then bogey a par three still averages 5 per hole. Takes the pressure off if you have a bad hole. Makes you think when you put one in the woods and have to chip out instead of being stupid and trying to be a hero. Only I more stroke for the mistake and you have a chance of making it up on an easier hole. Play smart and it’s only 1 less stroke and you are in the 80’s.

The bump and run has been most helpful for me. I always used to go for a big flop shot and as a result over shot the green 99.9% of the time. Utilizing the bump and run has shaved about 5-8 strokes off my score so far :) Granted I’m still relatively new to the game of golf, so I still have a lot to learn yet, but I enjoy the hell out of the game

Yup. I’m right about a 88-92 golfer and I can attest to everything this guy said in the video. Spot on. I’d also add, work on your chipping and wedge game 80% of the time. Bombing drivers and long irons and all that are fine but all the scoring and up and downs and getting onto greens in regulation involve wedge shots and touch. Put most your effort there and the rest will fall into place

@Soul-Taker 2 роки тому
On the greens at my local course it's possible to putt the ball off the green and down a hill which requires a very difficult short range lob on to a (very raised) green followed by several tense, very gentle putts (to ensure it stays on the green). It's literally the case sometimes that if your ball doesn't go in the hole it will go 10 feet past and or into oblivion. But hey there's no bunkers!

I have gone out a total of three times already and each time I have shown improvements in my over all game. From slowly improving my striking of the clubs, not slicing as much, hitting more straight. To hitting pretty good chip shots. I hit my first ever birdie today, was a great feeling. I’m still a high scorer in low 100’s, but improving a little each time. Thanks for all of these videos, it has been a wealth of valuable knowledge you have shared.

But if I've paid for 9-holes, I'm not walking off after 7!

No question about it, Rick’s tips here are fantastic! As he mentions, the crucial part of breaking through a scoring barrier, is to apply more manageable shots. Take out the magical or miracle escape shot, and focus on the easier option. A double or even worse, triple bogey are killers, and destroy your confidence and mindset!
@JM-qn3tf Рік тому
This is the hardest part. Behind a tree, 170 yards to the green.. the smart play is to punch out to the fairway & pitch to the green.. you still try to go for it. End up hitting the tree now another tough shot & still don’t get it on the green. Regret it every time.

Great video with some very solid and helpful tips Rick! Sometimes we get “tunnel vision” in trying to recover from bad shots and only make things worse! Taking a deep breath, staying calm and remembering your tips will help me for sure. Thanks very much!

When I first started playing golf, I’d always try to make a great shot out of trouble and I’d hit a great one 1 out of 10 times. One day, I got paired with an older gentlemen. I hit my shot into the trees and he noticed I’d tried to get on the green and ended up hitting a bad shot and tripled the whole. Then he uttered the words that I have lived by even after 20+ years. “When in trouble, don’t make it double”. That same round, I found myself in the trees again (Harding Park has a lot of them). Walking up to my ball, I kept muttering “when in trouble, don’t make it double”. I got up, chipped it laterally back into the fairway with a 7 iron, hit a really good third and made a decent putt for par.

Great words to play on. I may have to borrow these words of wisdom…
@jicalzad Рік тому
it's crazy how i always forget that chipping back into the fairway is an option. Always too hyper-focused on how to hit towards/closer to the pin no matter what heroics are involved
@Shakester71 Рік тому
@@jicalzad it just happened to me this weekend playing at my brothers CC. I slightly pulled a drive and ended up behind a tree on a par 5. Instead of trying to advance it as far as I could, which would have been a tough shot, I chipped it out back into the fairway and left myself 225 to the pin, into the wind. Water on the left, I hit a high draw with my 2 iron and landed it on the green, albeit still having a long putt but it was for birdie. I ended up 3 putting it for a bogey which I was happy about consider where I was.

The tips on getting out of the sand and using an 8 iron around the green have really helped me. They've saved me several times and getting me close to shooting 90. Just need to get more consistent with the rest of my shots.

@johnrankine492 2 роки тому
Bump & Run is probably the most important shot for a weekend golfer to learn. I play with my friends and I see them pulling out the sand or pitching wedge just off the green and I try to explain why this is a better option. Most get it but some don't and then send their ball 40 yards over the green.
