I don't know what course he is on but his rough is smoother than our fairways in Canada...

Rick you are BY FAR my Favorite pro to watch for lessons and tutorials!! My game has improved vastly and so much more enjoyable and confident since watching your videos. I’m in my 50’s but it has culminated with my first Hole In One on Christmas Day ! A 140 yard Par 3 with my 7-Iron, with techniques Ive been practicing from your videos! And now I feel like the next hole in one is possible every time I play 😁. Thanks So Much Rick! You’re The Best👊🏼👍

Love your teaching vids! By the way, great job on Driver vs Driver 2!

This might be your best instructional to date. Very well made and useful!

The 3 shots i struggle with the most is.. anything off the tee.. any iron shot and any putting shot..apart from that im ok 😆😉👍

Rick! You read my mind. Just back from a round and was thinking I need to improve my shots from just outside the green. Will have a practice this weekend. Love the vids. Just got into golf myself and your tips are invaluable!

Well done Rick. I practice a lot on these shots and it really helps lowering my scores.

Really helpful, thanks Rick, I’m just about getting over a bout of the yips so this was well timed.

Rick, I appreciate you showing where your ball actually lands. It allows me to really understand how difficult the shots can be.

Love these videos. The bump n run has worked for me on the course, used to always go with a 52, 56 or 60w, been doin the 8i and it has helped a ton. The high lob I do not have hardly any confidence in and it is definitely my most inconsistent shot. Always worried about blading the ball and sending it to the next tee box. hahahahaha. I am still finding you material old and new, tryin to implement it without over thinking has been my problem.

Rick, I absolutely LOVE when you do videos like this. I love equipment reviews too of course but I watch all of your golf game help and tip videos and they have LITERALLY taken strokes off my game. Thank you for the great stuff!!! P.S. Driver vs Driver episode 1 was great. Can’t wait for the rest of the season 👍

To be honest, your tips in this video really helped me in my game yesterday, especially your bump and run trick with 8 iron. Great job Rick!

Thanks rick great tips taken 4-5 shots of my handicap in 3 months 👍👍👍

Thankyou Mr Rick Shiels!...I love golf but also love being okay at it!...Not sure what an average golfer is,but up until 6 months ago I was forever scoring 110-125 constantly,(...and swearing alot!)...So I had a local(expensive) golf lesson,but still the same old,same old...I then stumbled across Rick's RU-vid channel and slowly but surely I began piecing bits together...I like the way he is easy to understand and so enthusiastic and particularly his reminders to enjoy our golf,I actually feel like he is a friend!!...So these days I am consistently shooting under 100 and more often than not,under 90...However,I still want to keep improving my game fo have subscribed to Rick's channel safe in the knowledge that it will continue to help my game🌞🌞...and for as long as I am on this planet I will NOT be telling my playing partners about Rick's RU-vid channel!!😀😀...but everyone else,it is a must and it works👍

Rick ive been watching your videos for a year now and dropped my handicap from a +28 to a +8, and i thank you for sharring your vast knowledge on technical applications and club selection. Thanks again for being my online golf guru!!!

Great video and actually had used 7 iron for years on some shots around the green, but went out today and the 8 iron idea from a little farther back saved me 2 strokes in 9 holes. Thank you! This is a fantastic video and greatly appreciated

Love videos like this! Great work Rick! I honestly use my 60 degree all around the green. I do flop a few shots when sitting clean on the short grass. I need to try this 8 iron trick!!! Thanks!

Provided some much needed help! Thanks for all your videos, seeing massive improvements through just watching you do you things. Cheers mate!

Great content actually used all three the other day to help shoot 79. Been watching you for years have used many of your tips, thanks for what you do.

Birdied on a par 4 today using the 8 iron bump and run. Thanks for the advise! 👍

Just came back from playing a round and I watched this video before and used the 8 iron tactic and it worked well as i got 2 chip ins with that tactic

I've learned so much from binge watching your videos. It's like still having my own golf pro, but a lot less expensive. I love the videos, Rick!

Rick. Just started golfing again after a 15-year break. Your content is great and is helping me to get back in the game. Thanks. And keep up the good work.

Great video Rick, everyone needs help in the short game. Loved the driver vs driver! Keep them coming.

This is the truest video out there. If I could improve this area I would break 80 lol.

Rick, just went out to practice these 3 shots - awesome! Thank you so much. Well explained both the use of the shot and how to do it. Simple and fun!

Thanks for the great video Rick 👌🏻, definitely struggled the most with the bump and run

163 dislikes? People are stupid! This is one of the most beneficial videos for me that you have made. Thanks for great content!

A putter usually has a 2 to 8 degree loft, use it. you can skip over dodgy grass and get rolling and never worry about 'fat' or 'thin' shots. Most of my off the green shots are closer than a wedge. Just a thought. Have fun, friends.

Thank you very much for posting this, Rick!

Hey Rick. Loved seeing you on driver vs driver. Thanks for this. I use a 60 for everything 80 yards in and this variety will help to have more options around the greens. Thanks again man!

If second shot didn’t hit the flagstick it would have been 20’ past😂

I’m surprised that when you opened the face on 2 & 3 you never mentioned to aim left of target (RH player)

Great video Rick, I like these instructional videos - keep doing them!

Love this! Tried it and it does work! Sometimes even in sand.

No1-The drive No2- The fairway iron No3-The putt

I blade it 50% of the time when I go for the high lofted shot. It ends up way further from the green than my attempted high loft shot.

Best tips on RU-vid! Easy to understand and never over complicated. Thank you for helping my gold game.

Appreciate you always putting out great content Rick!

I gotta admit, since getting the stronger lofted clubs I struggled with the bump and runs. As you say, I've had to drop to an 8i for the standard type. It's just a psychological thing at first, getting it into your head that the 8i is a 7i etc. If anything it confused me more with wedge gapping.

Use the low lofted shot whenever you can! Anytime I am chipping with my 8 iron it's either going in or its stone dead.

My chipping improved more after watching this 8-minute video, than it has in several HOURS of lessons focused completely on chipping. None of my instructors talked about three kinds of chip shots. And interestingly none of them told me the technique of putting the toe down, or opening up the face, again all depending which type of chipping I needed to do. And, as a girl from California, I do love listening to Rick say “boomp and run.” 😀

Hi Rick, I've been learning a lot from your videos. Previous to this one, I watched your 5 tips for fixing a slice and was able to correct the slice I've had my whole life (I'm in my 50's!). So, thanks for that! You asked in this video which shot I found most daunting. Definitely #3 - the high lofted chip. I've never used my sand wedge except for in a sand trap so that is new to me. I'm going to go out and practice and see how things go. I will probably purchase a lob wedge on your advice. Thanks! I love your easy manner and the fact that you are not arrogant at all (the way many golf pros are in their videos, ugh!). I'm a big fan and love your videos and recommend them to all my friends and anyone I'm paired with on the course if they seem interested. I appriate the work that you do very much! Thank you!

struggle with high lofted shot onto the green!

I have wedges from 46° upto 60° and am rubbish at these shots. As the saying goes, it's the archer not the arrow that's the problem.

I love these short instructional videos. One of your best yet Rick.

I've been struggling with my wedge shots and your videos have helped me tremendously! I played today and hit some of the best flop shots I've ever made thanks to your tips.

“Don’t flick your wrists” flips wrists through immediately after 😂

I can play al these shots but i always tank my irons of the course

I really enjoy videos. I’ve been on a long hiatus from golf due to raising my kids. My youngest has begun to play. We are both benefiting from your videos. Thank you

Great tips, these are probably my 3 toughest shots to hit consistently. I'm playing 18 both tomorrow and Monday so will definitely be using these methods for these particular situations.

Chipping is the most important part of your game

Came for the tips.. stayed for the dance moves

Good vid! Watched a few of yours and they’re really helpful!

Very nice short game tips. Thank you. I have a hard time with the 60 degree wedge...usually get little distance.

#1KCLUB I struggle with my hybrid and fairway would shots on par 5’s

Phil Michelson chipping advice is the best. 3 steps, 1 ball placement either in front of left foot (lofted) or right foot (de lofted) never between feet. 2 All weight on left foot (always). 3 Quick hitch in back swing, Fast hands through the ball, and club should be straight with left arm through finish.

Really need this.. thanks rick

Thank you so much for doing this video. I watched this this morning before I went golfing and these tricks came in extremely handy I knew as soon as I was done I had to come home and thank you before I did anything else

If anyone is in doubt about this video it's proper helped me so much. I started doing shot 1 about 5 months ago and it really does work. Didn't take massive amount of practice, it just worked straight away for me. Its got to the point where I now have so much more confidence around the green now. This is such great tip for mid to high handicapper. I've been doing lot of work on my game with Pro at my club but not needed to do much with him on my short game. I can get up and down so much more since I 1st saw this video. My favourite thing I now do is tapping in with my iron after I've got really close. This video can really help your game!

Rick, another great vid! I definitely struggle with these shots the most, this video helped so much!!

Great graphics! Thanks Rick. This is very valuable to me.

Love those 3 tips Rick, I was using the 7 iron, but will switch to the 8 now. Thanks alot 👍🏼👍🏼

Rick thank you for this video. Have trouble with all 3 but mostly high lofted over bunkers.

Thank you Rick For your fantastic tips and lessons! I just started playing this spring. By watching your videos, using your tips my golf play has improved by far 🙏 thanks again!

Been doing it since I watch video, it definitely prepared me to be in different mindset in different situations. Thanks

Your content and quality of videos keep improving superbly. Very nice!

Another great great scene! This video will be extremely helpful. As this is the weakest part of my golf game! I really need help in this area. GREAT JOB RICKY!!!

Tips 1 and 2 shaved about five to seven strokes off my game. I could always count on going back and forth from one side of the green to the other, and often I would use my putter no matter how far off the green I was to prevent the three foot chip or the skull chip that rockets across the green. Lol. Now I've actually gotten several up-and-down to the surprise of my nephew. Lol. Thank you.

Great tips Rick, my short needs this!

Super video, excellent illustrations! Another great job.

This is what I've been looking for, finally👍 Thx

Hi Rick, I've been watching your videos from my home in the Algarve. Great tips and really entertaining presentation. Many thanks.

Great video! A lot of people need to work on this having all three is a must!

Great lesson. Thx so much for your videos.

This (and the course vlogs) is what I want to see, Rick! Club testing is also cool to see, but these are the videos you‘ll get a big like from me. More pls ;)

Great quick concise explanation love your lesson

Very good video Rick! Thanks! I struggle around the green and this will definitely help my game 🙂

Thanks Rick, can't wait to use in the golf course your technics.

Thanks for all your videos, they have helped me tremendously.

Great video thanks Rick. Flop shot is the one I struggle with

Good video! Ive started playing the bump n run as often as possible and I shot my lowest front 9 ever last week (+3). The more I try to simplify things the more consistent I play and more sure of my game as a whole. Thanks for the tips.

VIDEO SAVED!! This is what I'm talking about!! Steller video Rick!

Hi Rick. Definitely shot 3...the tendency to lift up and thin always makes me ask fellow golfers to ensure they're not in my line of fire! Another great video, thank you.

Great video Rick. I always enjoy watching

8 iron, you and OMP are of same mind, I prefer it also this, thanks Rick.

Great vid! You help me a lot in golf. I just won a tournament yesterday all thanks to you. One of the best golf channels.

I’m only 14 on my Highschool golf team and this is helping me a lot. Thank you very much I love your videos.

Great video, shots 1 and 2 really helped. Lots of practice at range helped it became 2nd nature.

Thanks Rick! Great work. Loved seeing you on DvD!

This is just what I needed Rick! Thanks

Sooo helpful. Thanks!

Great tips Rick! Thank you very much...these tips are very helpful!

Great video thanks. Simply and clearly explained

I have watched this before. You are a great teacher. Thanks Rick much appreciated.

Thanks for this. So useful.

Great video rick keep up the work i love your content

I was just practicing the high lofted shot yesterday! I was chipping it over my fire pit and aiming to get it in a small bucket. I will have to use your tips to give this another go!

Great Instruction! Thanks
