Episode 1: THE RICK SHIELS STORY - HOW HE GREW 2 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS! 

Really enjoyed making this video with you Iona! Thanks for sharing my story. 🙌

I've got to say this is one of the best interviews I've seen. The honesty Rick opened up about was good to see. Keep up the good work Iona.

I’m only 60 seconds into this video and I already love it.

Rick is such a nice guy, he plays the game, and shows the good the bad and the ugly shots, and is never afraid to make a joke at his own expense, just seems like a really nice humble and fun guy, he deserves every ounce of success, he plays the game for all of us. Love Rick's Channel, it is brilliant

Theres a reason why Rick is so successful. He's a truly honest and humble guy. A good man. People respect him. Good for you Rick.

Iona your really are a star , so genuine and passionate about your sport. To me golf on the TV isn’t the same without you commentating and the delightful Scottish tones. Keep up the fantastic work 👌

The sight of that open and empty carry case made me shiver.... hope there isn't a lost rangefinder somewhere on the links !

Iona is the future of Sky Sports golf. So genuine, knowledgeable and has such a nice way with people

the most important thing is that Rick is likeable and down to earth - he's a joy to watch - I watch lots of YT golfers but Rick is no 1 because he's just got such a wonderful way about him - thanks for the video!

watching 2 of my favourite online media Celebs , what could be better

Hi rick just love your vids. Im a pro since40 yrs and play since55 yrs . Great fan of you mate. Keep going .

I love his honesty. He's a great guy.

Great to see a Manc lad that’s done well and still going strong.

This is so good. Just discovered Iona, but have watched Rick for years. Great pair.

When I was a boy I played golf in the '80s. I was a junior at Blairgowrie\Rosemount for 7 years, and my teacher, the assistant pro at that time, was Dave Scott. He was a really nice guy and a big influence on me. A few months ago, when getting back into golf after a 33 year hiatus, I learned that he has had a great career, at Kingsbarns and St Andrews, no less, and now runs Dumbarnie Links. I'll have to visit one day and say hello. It's great to see that he's doing a great job there! P.s, I forgot to mention: now Rick has been one of my main teachers over the last 7 months, and I'm playing 2-3 days a week! I'm extremely grateful for his content!

I've been lucky enough to meet and walk the old course with rick, The thing is with rick is he's not forgotten where he's came from. For all that he's achieved he is one of the nicest people I have met just so humble and loves what he does always makes time for his fans, there is something about him that you just instantly like. Well done 👏

What a great watch. Really enjoyed that!

Wow this course is 10 mins from my house and yet to play it since it was built amazing to see you two there such famous people in the golf world

Your use of music is your secret sauce. Great video. This format with as many pro’s and personalities as you can

2 of the nicest people in golf in the same video brilliant :)

This is awesome content! Also, great round on Ricks Channel!

One of the most down to earth guys you could wish to meet.Met him and Guy a few times at Trafford Golf and they are always very approachable and more than willing to have a good old chin wag.Deserves every bit of success that comes his way.Hard work and determination does pay off.Good Luck to him and all his team.

Another great produced video, very high quality. But besides that. Great content!

First off…. Iona…. This content is incredible. I love listening to you on live TV but I think this is just incredible! Second…. Your story is like Shakespearian poetry in itself. I would have loved to have seen you on tour just off your driving ability! Have you ever actually missed a fairway?! Finally…. On facilitating Rick to be able tell his story this way is something to be incredibly proud of as you’ve created such great viewing content in my opinion. Bravo! 🙌🏽

Great video from two golf legends!

Honest respect to Rick and his grit on never giving up and finding a way to make his name. Hope we can share a Guinness one day!

Peter Allis is smiling down enjoying this. His crown has been passed to you Iona. Wear it well.

Love all your content Iona! And that Rick Fella does alright as well from time to time.😝

Found you through Rick, so the cycle continues! There will always be a place for positive, genuine and passionate people sharing their golf adventures. Thanks to both of you for being all of that!

I don't even play golf and I like watching his videos.

Rick is just such a likable person to begin with and he does a wonderful job picking the subjects to put on his channel. He also picks great people to have on and thankfully one of them is Iona..I really enjoy when she’s on as well as watching her channel also…👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I very much enjoyed the video, what a great chemistry between you and Rick!

Terrific viewing Iona. I love Rick's channel. 💚💛⛳

only recently discovered rick on youtube - loved this video learning more about him. also, the production quality on this video is reallllly nice - very good work!

Very enjoyable vid this one,well done Iona and congratulations RS. To be out of work one day wondering 'what am i going to do' to getting to where you are now is pretty incredible, also doing something you enjoy to making a very good living. Also with Guy by Yr side you do have someone who you bounce off well to make the Podcasts all the more enjoyable, not forgetting Yr Camera guys Too. Here's to 63 million subs, Can't believe Tigers not watching Yr work. Come on Tiger, Rick and the RU-vid Audience are ready when you are-ok so another 61 million subscribers are needed. See how long that takes.

Came here after watching the first episode of chasing the red.......what a great story...nice work Iona!....Just need a fourball with you and Colin Montgomerie against Liam and Mr Barlow from golf mates....now that would be a HOOT!

You two have an easy likability. Fun videos and Iona shooting -4 on Rick's video was the most fun golf video I have watched. Cheers!

What A Great Video!!!! So enjoyable to watch and listen to the interview!

cant believe Ive just found your channel... my new internet crush lol what a great channel, the edits are super

My two favorite golf personalities on RU-vid. Both are delightful to watch. Love these guys even more now =)

just watched you break a course record with this guy. Please play more full rounds on your channel shot by shot, it was great stuff watching you play in that format

I love the content Iona is putting out. Can't wait to see what her future holds.

From New Zealand, Rick, thank you so much for all entertainment. A pleasure to watch and enjoy. Cheers

Iona love this video I just started following after the breaking 75 video! This was incredibly well done and I can’t wait to watch more of your videos.

Saw a different side of Rick in this. He's gone up drastically in my estimations. Loved hearing his story, thank you.

Thanks for the great video, Iona. It was fun to hear Rick's story. Cheers!

Such a well done video. The level of excellence is top notch. The creative style is amazing loved the sit down interview mixed with the golf so good! Absolutely crushed it. 👏🏽👏🏽 to the team, class all the way around.

I loved this video, love Rick and yourself too! Well done

I love Rick's club reviews. Because of his reviews I got a set of Mizuno clubs and have no regrets.

This is an inspiring and well crafted Video and totally absorbing. Continued success to you both.

Amazing story.

What a great wee video.

what a lovely man

I dont even play golf but iwatch ricks channel and petes and matts all from ricks... he tells a good story and he shows his workings his fails and the good as well. he just seems llike a genuine person and like i said i dont even play golf but i watch

The video he did with Sir Nick Faldo is the best one he's made so far. Not every day one gets to play with a legend like that.

Another wonderful video from both of you. I immensely enjoyed your Crail adventure, and you have a friendly, relaxed camaraderie that's so hard to come by these days. Wonderful interview and great insight into a man I idolize for his genuinely upbeat and honest approach to golf. And of course, you . . . you are a golf treasure! So down-to-earth, interesting, talented and charming. Please keep the videos coming.

Rick is the reason I finally came back to loving golf! Started watching his videos and it just reignited the desire to play!

Beautiful cinematography and story telling, Iona. I'm happy to find your channel (via Rick, haha).

Top notch quality video 10/10

We love you Rick

What an insight Rick to your life great video 👏👏

Brilliant. Done.

Garret and the boys at GoodGood are the future

Iona is smart, great at golf and beautiful. Loved this video!

Great video! Hopefully Rick gets you on his channel soon :)

Love Rick's story; thanks for getting him on your show.

Brilliant Iona, was not a big fan of Rick 4 or 5 years ago but must say he's my top go to man on YT now.

Brilliant video massive Rick Sheils fans. but really enjoyed this video so no an Iona fan. Subscribed and will watch more

Rick sheils you so deserve it I’ve started playing again after 15 years and just started Ming to fine tune my game after watching your tips , what a top guy 👍

I got into golf about 4 years ago and Rick's video on how to fix a slice (lol) was my first encounter of golf RU-vid, it's amazing how far he's come. It's also amazing to see all my favourite golf personalities making videos together now. Iona, you have millions of subscribers in you too!

Thank you Rick! You helped me get back in this wonderful game of golf, watched your videos/podcasts during the pandemic, hard work and passion really pay off. Wishing you all the best and good luck with the 63 mil mark.

Great video. Thanks for sharing it with us. Best of luck, Iona.. 👍

What a great video !

Nice job presenting Rick’s back story. Just missing the birdie sauce out of the cup on some of those putts…maybe RS owns the copyright on that one. ;)

Just saw this and enjoyed it Iona, I'm in too 🙂

This is such a well made video. The camera work especially is so impressive. The contest as well of course!

Found your channel through your videos with Rick at the Open! Loved this, subscribed and now gonna watch some of your others! :) Keep up the awesome work and race Rick to the 63 million. I want Rick interviewing you and you telling us your story!! xD

Very enjoyable video,now subscribed👍

Excellent video!

Such an amazing insight into the man, the dad, the golfer and the now epically successful RU-vidr. The interviewer always deserves full credit for a great interview, like this one. And the photography and editing are simply amazing; really gorgeous.

Never heard Rick talk about his dad, in this or any other video's (not many I haven't seen). It's great to see he's playing such a large role on his kids lives, it's clearly very important to him. Bravo!

I started watching Rick because his videos helped my golf ⛳️ game 😀. I still watch Rick because he’s seems to be an authentic down to earth guy. Appreciate his professionalism, kindness, and joy!

Great content, love the mix of golf chat & balcony chat. Plus 2 v.interesting & amiable people. Thanks

Rick you’ve helped my slice x10 fold. Used to drive it 130 yards straight and 100 yards slice(left landed golfer) on a bad shot and now I’m down to +12 from +22 from last year! Your short game tips are vital. From your short game video; made my game; you give dream advice

Very cool in so many ways. That club house 🤩

You're the man Rick ! Thanks for everything

Great video enjoyed it very much.

Great production and content Iona! Really nice to watch. Congratulations
