Break 75 is back! 

The fact Rick is being so transparent about his struggles at the moment is so appreciated. Just shows you that even the guys whose game you really look up to have bad times and confidence crises every now and again. Big love Rick, content is mega as ever

No matter how the rounds go, we will be here to enjoy the ride! Keep #Break75 alive!

Just wanna give you a hug Rick. As tough as it might’ve felt on the course filming this, I gotta say the value this is to so many of us watching is huge. It’s not always rosey, it’s a tough old game and that’s ok. We all have them - some more than others (me) but it’s the response to it that’s more important! Am loving seeing your journey and I’m sure you’ll be back sub 75 in no time! You got this 💪

I hope Rick knows how important this content is for beginner and intermediate golfers. I’m sure it doesn’t feel great for him, hitting double and triple bogeys, but it really is inspiring to see him not give up and get that illusive birdie to finish! Thank you, Rick! Your spot on the list of most influential golfers is well-deserved!

Keep at it Rick! Thank you for being so transparent! Means a lot to those of us struggling to break 100

Every golfer can relate to this. You feel like you are going to have a good round and have one or two blow up holes in the first few. Very relatable, Rick. Enjoy watching your struggles for 75 which mirror ours. Don't apologize. This is compelling content.

Much respect for counting that double bogey on hole 1. Most golfers wouldn't have counted it. But you realized you were aggravated and rushed it, but still held yourself accountable and counted it. This is the content I like to see. As aggravating as it is for you, it reminds me to keep my cool like you when I struggle. And remember, there's guys like me that would kill to have a round like that out there lol. Lots of us look up to you even when you have these bad rounds.

Thanks for posting the last round and even the struggles in this one. Golf is a hard game and it helps all of us to see the struggle and that we aren’t alone. Keep at it. It’ll come back.

The realism of your break 75 videos adds a dimension others strive for. There are no golfing videos that get close to portraying the frustrations we all feel. Thank you .

This is the content we need! As someone who is just getting into golf, I appreciate the fact that even though you are struggling, you can still push through and finish. Can’t wait for the next one

I would suggest that rather than having golf lessons, Rick looks towards a sports psychologist. Over the last few Break 75 videos, there have been a high number of "sighs" and "arghs" after hitting shots and missing putts. Rick obviously has the talent and skill to hit under 75 as we've all seen before, but it would appear that his own head gets in the way of his game - as it does with us all! Good luck Rick and come back stronger in the Spring

The comeback is always greater than the setback! Keep at it Rickaldinho ❤⛳️👍

I love how he’s managing his emotions better I love to see this he’s not getting upset he’s just taking what he can get

I started watching about 3 yrs ago and the difference in his play is amazingly changed over the time of course I know he doesn't practice 24/7 but it is wild that he has looked like an relatable golfer and this is not a bad thing it just shows the truth about how hard the game of golf really is. Big ups to you Rick for your content and your work.

Hi Rick, swing changes can not only put a dent in your score but also your confidence. Your honesty, integrity and willingness to be transparent are more important than the score. Nice birdie at the end. You'll he back shooting under 75 for sure. Happy holidays, Bob

Thanks Rick for showing the rebuild progress, warts and all. You could see the genuine hope at the start which was punctured within 2 short holes. Just shows how much our games are e mental as much as technical. Not an easy time of year to make progress on your game so keep grinding and you’ll have nearly 3 million of us supporting you. 👏👏

The fans don’t watch your videos for perfect golf Rick! You’re still helping and thoroughly entertaining a lot of your fan base made up of imperfect golfers themselves! Good to see you staying positive and making these videos 👍🏼

After being away from golf for 8 years, your videos and insight brought me back and reminded me how much I missed it! Your struggles with golf are relatable and your style and humility is second to none! Keep up the hard work! Also, I wish you, Pete, and Matt would make some new content together; seeing you guys together is always a delight!

I watched the whole video and admire your "struggles". Your round was most golfer's round and nothing to be ashamed of...I actually find hope in my game here. This video is absolutely appreciated!

Just come back to golf after a long time away. Been watching a lot of your videos and I must say they are great, the highs and lows of a round rather than a spotless round. I learn more from a video like this, especially when you give your thoughts on how to recover! Keep it up!

We are fighting right along with you, Rick. Every single one of us, who has picked up a golf club, understands the mental & emotional war that goes on during a pretzel spell. Sharing it with the world is a gutsy road -- but at least you get to make some dough off your struggles.....most of us PAY to be frustrated all day. So you got that goin' for ya --- which is nice.....Anyway -- appreciate the learning experience this is -- Keep on truckin' -- Cheers!

Rick your such a huge reason I started getting back into golf and actually started taking in seriously. At the beginning of the season I would be lucky to break 100 and now as long as my putts are okay I can shoot in the 80’s. Thank you for putting out the best content on RU-vid. Love you bro!

Damn Rick. I took a shot every time you left a putt short and now I’m seeing two of you! Great recovery after the first two doubles! That’s not easy to do.

Golf in the raw right there. Great series Rick and thanks for showing how good then cruel the game can be. Guess that's why we love it.

Great progress in this one Rick , from experience I used to have a sports psychologist and having worked with them for a while in regards to perfectionism, I felt way better during my sport (cricket). Lots of positive changes here, great to see

Rick, I really enjoy your series. It is nice to see you bare all your struggles. You are one of the most relatable guys of golf. Keep up the work.

You have no idea of how many people you have helped with this and your total honesty in showing ALL your shots, unedited. Your teaching videos are superlative and I have learned much from them. However, videos where you show such candidness are "platinum" grade because they provide valuable emotional support in a very psychologically sensitive sport. You have my unlimited respect, and that of many other people. Thank you!

Thanks Rick for being real. Golf is not a static game and it is refreshing to see a professional struggle with the ebb and flow. I am curious about your chasing the fade when you have the pure draw that most amateur golfers crave. Enjoying your content!

I love the fact that you show videos like this it shows that your human and have struggles like all of us stay positive we are all behind you

Rick I appreciate you sharing the struggles you have with golf like the rest of us have. It's awesome to see you across the pond grinding away to get better for your own personal goals! Keep it going mate this is the kind of content golfers love! Same game same grind same struggles same love for golf!

Thanks Rick for coming back with Break 75. I love watching you play and I know that you’re struggling right now. Please stay positive, know that we’re all rooting for you. Other then a few holes your swing and overall game does look better. It’s a process as you know, to take your golf range swing to the course. Good luck and thanks for posting your videos, they’re fun, informative and a pleasure to watch. Kelly from Winnipeg

These videos of Rick struggling are probably the most useful to us regular/beginner golfers. I have been working really hard to improve my game and I have noticed a lot of improvement, but then yesterday I really struggled on a course that is definitely too difficult for my "beginner" skill set. I knew this going in, but the round still had me down in the dumps. Seeing this video today, of a PGA professional also struggling, needing to make changes to his game and finding it hard for those changes to show on the course, just lifted my spirits and is giving me so much hope and determination to keep trying. Thank you, Rick. These videos are gold to so many of us and if your goal is to help normal and beginner golfers, then you are 100% doing that here.

Thank you Rick for sharing your highs and lows. It’s really inspiring and the reason why it’s my favorite golf channel.

I believe you put a lot of pressure on yourself because at the end of the day we all want to be better than we are, but at the same time you want to put out top tier golf content, but what you need to understand is you're just human and trying your best. We're behind you all the way no matter what and admire that we get to see both the ups and downs

The honesty is so refreshing and it'll make the Break 75s in the future where he smashes it all the more sweeter. There'll be lots of people going through the same 'relearning' during the winter months - I am too - and it feels almost like therapy. Keep going mate, we feel it.

Hi, Rick. Newbie golfer from the Philippines here. After finally feeling that I was starting to improve, this trend happened within 3 weeks: 91, 93, 93, 96, 99, and 100 yesterday. Frustrating is an understatement. Some keyboard pros may talk shit about your game but for guys like myself, your openness really helps. I believe it's a "kind" reminder for beginners that this game we all love picks no favorites, and that slumps are part of the process. Thank you for this lesson on humility and patience. Good luck!

It's encouraging you're taking lessons and working hard on your game, I think that's a good practice for everyone.

This is exactly what I needed today. Does it get better than watching Break 75 on the TV?

Thanks for showing us this journey Rick! Not that we want this for you, but for us experiencing similar ups and downs in our game, we still learn a ton from you! Maintaining your cool, trusting the process and still remembering to have fun with it is in my opinion, a huge part of golf and we appreciate you walking us through it all. Can’t wait for you to bounce back and for us to see it soon! Keep at it mate!

I feel you Rick. My confidence with my woods is shot right now. Props to you for putting this out with all honesty

Whenever break 75 is up, you know it’s gonna be a good day

Ricky do not be to hard on yourself. Everyone including me enjoying the break 75 series. Going through a dip in your game happens to all of us hence we love your videos as we can relate. We struggle with you and we are going to celebrate with you at the end. I have carried your tips in your tutorial videos for 8 years in my game and they still serve me well. KEEP GOING !

Man can I relate. I'm new to getting lessons, because I felt like my swing wasn't conducive to getting my game where I want it to be. I am changing almost everything in my swing and the struggle is real. It is so refreshing to watch a guy who really feels ( and knows) he should be hitting better but isn't, and I can relate. Rick keep up the videos for those of us that need the motivation to keep grinding. I love the fact that these videos are so true to real life. Thanks guy and Rick, you guys rock.

You are a RU-vid genius but by making this series so relatable makes me really study how much work you put into your first 2 million subscribers. Very well done Rick

Just played in my family's Thanksgiving tournament today, and hit 103. I'm so happy to my improvements from this channel, and I still have room to grow. Thank you for sharing your growth with us, too. It makes me so glad I've got an amazing teacher in you, Rick! Thank you, again.

Thank you for sharing this! Most everyone has something to work on. Watching your journey to improvement is quite motivational.

It's very easy to be hard on yourself in this sport. Love how honest you are being with your game at the moment. I've been inspired to go and get some lessons too. Hope it all comes together soon.

Thanks Rick. You're making it 'real' for many of us! More confidence and less thinking and you'll be hitting sub-75s. 🙂

For someone that's altered almost every aspect of their swing, you had many pars and birdie chances to be very proud of. I really hope you take pride in what went well and not let poorer holes get you down, your mindset means everything in this game. Be proud of every step of the way and carry it over to every game!

Thanks for your continued work, Rick! Despite any performance woes, it can be seen that you love being on the golf course. I always love watching your content as you are such an awesome personality. Can't wait for the next one!

Hi. Love your honesty! Apart from having a dip in confidence winter golf is another factor! Please remember we love to see your cast you can fade and draw! Play the shot for the hole. Just go for it. Looking for the the next break 75. You are truly an inspiration to me. Thank you 👍🏻🙂

This episode feels extremely relatable. I’m no pro. I have a pretty good swing, but limited consistency. Watching you hit a nine iron 10 yards left is exactly what I would do. I wish I were better, maybe one day I will be, but it’s normal! Thanks for sharing that side of your game with us Rick.

The chipping and putting is always the first to go when you're working on everything else!! Thank you Rick for posting these videos, it helps everyone understand the game of Golf! Anyone who plays will have compassion for the process you're going through.

Love the realistic episode.I see to many perfect golf shots on the internet. We can all relate to struggles in golf and this encourages us average golfers that even professionals struggle. Thank you for being real. Love watching your videos.

Very relatable video! Enjoyed every second of it. I think anyone that has been playing this game knows exactly what you are going through. Good luck.

Really glad you put these videos out Rick. I was watching and feeling your disappointment, but they are super beneficial for us to see the hard work you put in. Lets me know to just keep practicing and learning….it’s the only way to go. ⛳️

Considering how many fundamental swing changes you're currently making Rick, including a complete change in shot shape, that wasn't bad at all. Keep up the grind.

So good to see you picking the positives out where you could. A great lesson in taking whatever positives you can from a difficult situation. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Rick, keep your head up and enjoy golf! It’s ups and downs and we (2M+ supporters) are confident your scores will get back to par in the end. In the meantime, I continue appreciating your honest and humble registrations.

I don't know why... but this video just hits differently. Three minutes in and I can relate to everything Rick is going through. Silent course, autumn leaves on the fairway... Good stuff! Production quality is on point. Rick looks like someone I would want to play a round with.

I absolutely appreciate these videos Rick. I’m trying to break 100 and I’ve been getting closer and closer but I just had a couple really bad rounds that completely messed with my mind. It’s hard to think those positive thoughts when you’re playing poorly. Just gotta keep grinding and finding the positives

Be blessed to be playing outside Rick! It is currently 5 degrees out this week in Alaska. I'm over here doing indoor sims. Swing changes take time to get used to for sure. I can see where your swing will benefit you soon! You got this.

Thanks for sharing this Rick, it's helpful and relatable to see. I enjoyed seeing you on your own today, I've found when changing my own swing, the biggest improvements came from being out on the course on my own. Then when I was settled, playing with friends can't be beat! Some GREAT words of wisdom from today's video "I need to be less hard on myself".

It's good to see and hear how he is getting more positive and not getting his head into a bad place

Im currently only 16 minutes into this video and i already want to say that i can see the progression of putting the first 2 holes behind you and focusing on playing the next holes, i see less anger towards yourself and more confidence and concentration on the next holes compared to previous videos lately. This is something i want to work on next year, i dont want to take a bad hole with me to the next. Fair play RS. Now to finish off the video

I adored this video! I really like a lot of talking about the shots and the overall round. Now I know I’ll be cheering like crazy for your next really good round.

Hey Rick! I've been a lurker on your channel for quite some time and you're the first RU-vidr I watched when I got into golf about a year ago. I can see that you're frustrated with this series but i just wanted to say how inspirational this series is. Lots of times people just post their best rounds of golf and as a new golfer it sent me on a spiral of wow golf is just that easy huh? The beauty of this series is to show how tough it can be to reach the goal. I always set myself a goal each time I head to the course and I never hit my goal. Obviously our goals aren't nearly the same, but it's nice to see you challenging yourself and persisting through the rough. Keep chugging along! You got this and I can't wait for the video where you hit 75. Your fan base is behind your back entirely on this series, through the ugly and the beautiful!

I know it hurts Rick but this is such important content. It reminds us all to be kinder to ourselves and to remember there will be good times and tough times. You were playing fantastically through the summer and will be back there again. Keep grinding 💪🏻

I have a lot of under-par rounds when I am playing frequently during my season. But currently have not broke 75 in my last 7 rounds and 4 of those rounds have been over 80 since the end of Summer! This game is tough and nobody likes playing poorly, especially me! Your struggles are relatable to everyone, but there's nothing but RESPECT from me because you are documenting your effort to improve. My game will come back in the spring when I am practicing and playing. But until then, lets writhe in our anger and passion towards playing better

I haven't watched these in a while, but going through my own swing change torture i thought I'd give it a go and loved it! That swing on the 3rd par three was pure, controlled and class! Given I havent seen the swing in a while you can see the difference 🤟

I admire your honesty Rick!!!! I love these videos!! I’m off 4 and I share your struggles!!! Sometimes -3 and sometimes +10!!!!! Loving your RU-vid videos!!!

Yes Rick, can’t wait for this!! That’s why you always need to take time over your putts!!

Top g is back

These episodes are great, as it's just fun watching a full round and following a player around a whole course. The only way to watch golf imo.

Love this series! I'm at Breaking 85 right now so really enjoying you speaking about your thoughts before shots. Very helpful! You've inspired me to worry more about my putting hahahaha

I love the fact you’re so honest about your game. I’ve only been playing about 4 years now after a long time off my natural shot was a draw and after watching you and wanting to get better I played with my swing and I now hit a fade and can’t draw to save my life. But, I’ll never stop playing or watching you. Side note I was shooting in high 90s this year you’ve got me in the 80s. Thanks Rick

Something addictive about your videos lately, I end up watching the whole thing without skipping compared to other RU-vid golfers. Its well edited and your self commentary is interesting :)

Thank you rick for showing all of us that golf is truly hard. Watching you play golf makes me feel so confident and I’ve learned so much this past season from you. Thank you

Love this series, and it's another great video. We can feel your pain as it starts to slip away so quickly. This shows just how cold and unforgiving golf can be when you're trying to keep the score low.

This is why I love the break 75 series. Rick shows us everything, the good the not so good and the ugly. Keeping it honest and real way to go Rick. 👍🇨🇦🍺

This is a solid reminder that building a shot at the driving range doesn't automatically translate to the course. It's one thing to hit a shot off a level patch of ground in ideal or almost ideal conditions...it's another when the slope may have you higher or lower than the ball, when there are visible obstacles and distractions downrange, and when the object is no longer just hitting this specific style of shot, but trying to string a sequence is shots together to reach a specific objective. Keep at it, Rick! Your double-double start is the way the majority of my golfing goes, seeing you push it aside and score par on the next few holes is great inspiration. And it was also comforting, in a way, to see that I'm not the only one who has "meltdown holes", where enough goes wrong that you end up +4 or worse on the hole. For years, I could practically bank on one for every nine holes I played (so if I played the full 18, I would have at least two, and sometimes three). I consider it a major breakthrough that I've been able to cut it down to one on a full 18. I did notice, though...Rick, you spend a LOT of time talking about how bad this shot was or how bad the hole was or how bad the round is. That feeds on itself, in my experience...the more you dwell on stuff going wrong, the more goes wrong. And that mental aspect of the game is probably the hardest thing for people to get a handle on, and probably one of the biggest differences between casual golfers who have an occasional good round and golfers who are consistently good. Give yourself some recognition for what worked the way you intended and the holes where you did well. Positive thinking may not make you a better golfer...but it can certainly help prevent you from making yourself worse.

Kudos to you Rick. I so much appreciate you going back to playing your game. Learning new techniques. Analyzing your game. This is the format we love! Keep it up!

The honesty is refreshing. Everyone struggles with golf occasionally no matter who they are or how good. Great video all the same.

Rick, keep it up pal. Its coming back. Really appreciate your honesty with this series, warts and all, we're all rooting for you!

Thanks for this video! This is pretty much the way my season went this year. Mostly pars, with a few bad holes mixed in to raise my score. Almost the exact same kind of misses like the first two holes! Love the 75 series, love watching the vlogs and seeing how swings really are a work in progress!

Even more relatable than the last! Ricky the golfer for the people. You cant even script this content. Thanks!

So happy you are back! Keep it calm, don't sweat the small mistakes. You're consistant and this will turn for the better. Keep up the great content!

Truly enjoy your honesty and transparency about your golf struggles. This game is hard, very hard, and anyone who doesn't think so has not played it. I wish you well on your journey of improvement, it's, as you know, a very slow process. Cheers.

I love your videos showing how we all struggle with our games at times!! Please keep posting, love your content!!!

I've been trying to break 80 for the last 4 months, came so close many times but still it alludes me. Its humbling to be reminded just how hard a game this is at all levels. Love the authenticity of your content.

Great watching you Rick! You got this mate. Hang in there.

3 minutes in and I hear the positivity well above the previous videos! Great job! Keep pumping yourself up.

Some of these shots it shows you still have great ability. Golf is such a mental game as much as a technical game. You beat yourself up on the course and put so much pressure on yourself which in turn effects your game. Work on your mental positive outlook at much as your technical. Keep up the great work, everyone will be routing for you.

Great video Rick. Its coming back.....Can see more positivity in you. Lots to look forward to over the winter. Next season will be Break 70 🙏

Great positive start with the swing changes, keep going it’s so relatable. Golf is hard but it’s moving in a really positive direction, well done Rick 👊

These videos are excellent to watch and give us a real insight in to course management and how this helps to lower scores. We all go through rough patches Rick, keep the faith and it will all come back.

Rick Iv'e come back to golf after a lot of years not playing. I was a very active (sort of older guy) up until June this year when out of the blue I suffered a heart attack at home. I was lucky to have been rushed into hospital and a stent fitted within 2 hours of the attack. I have again found the love of golf having asked my consultant what would be the best form sport to do during my recovery and cardiac rehab. I used to be a single handicap player many years ago but prob playing to about 28 at the moment . Ive been watching your vids since playing again and find them honest, informative but most of all truthful. You will find your form again and you will get back. I for one will be following you come back and wishing you the very best and am there with you every step of the way. You need the support of your followers just as much as we all need that little push and luck to get us to were we want to be. Good luck. By the way I've never felt better since my attack than when Im out on the golf course, playing good or even bad shots :-)

It's great to see you put this out for us all to see, very realistic and honest. A very good player at my club said to me recently that more important than any lessons and techniques is to go out, relax and enjoy the game then the good scores will happen! Easy to say, perhaps more difficult to achieve in a lot of circumstances.

I suffered watching this video, despite the difficulties and frustration you showed us, how to keep your mind focused on the game, and also in my opinion how anxiety is our worst enemy in the course. Thanks for this video, you will break the 75 soon again, just keep calm and relax enjoying the game. Best Wishes

Thank you for the great content Rick, your videos and ‘normal’ struggles are so relatable. This is golf for the vast majority of people, the margins are so small. Please keep the videos coming, great work! 👍
