Rick Shiels answers Google's most searched questions and is the PGA Tour copying LIV Golf? 

If I was a betting man...I'd say that he's finally getting a chance to play with Tiger. He can't hide the excitement

I’m guessing the big announcement will be Rick playing at Augusta National…………

If you guys can continue to include the timestamps for each topic that would be really appreciated! Love the content!

Guy is becoming very accomplished in the Podcasts.

I would love to see a club fitting collaboration with Ian Fraser at TXG for Rick's new bag.

The big annoucement is 100% a Golf Bidder challenge with Tiger at Marriot Worsley Park 😄 You heard it here first folks!

Rick is going to meet Tiger and do a podcast with him or play with him at Augusta. That's my guess.

Guy is carrying this week’s podcast! Glad to listen to you both this week, and looking forward to seeing what this big announcement is Rick!

Serious hoping that the tour leaders are listening to this bit about an event at a normal public course! This would be amazing! 9:46

Love this one , funny and exciting, can’t wait to see the new studio and find out your BIG news !

Congrats on meeting Tiger, presumably ;)

Hi Rick & Guy further to you saying you’re looking at playing some affordable courses. It could be cool if you did a few episodes of courses in and around the Wirral area (where Wallasey is). I imagine this year the golf courses in that area will be getting more visitors due to the open happening in royal Liverpool. Could be a good way to bring in our home major

Lot of people seem to think it’s Augusta… I’m actually thinking it’s something with Tiger. Rick absolutely idolizes Tiger and I can’t imagine any other reason he’d be so visibly flustered.

Hey Rick! I saw you on course at Little Aston. I did have the urge to come over and say hi but didn’t want to interrupt you whilst you were filming. I hope you enjoyed the course despite the unsettled weather that day! ☔️. Looking forward to seeing how you did 👍

2 mins in and Rick & Guy are attempting to understand mathematical limits lol. Great start to the pod.

Also, it's super cool that Rick got an invitation to get to play Augusta as part of the run-up to the Masters! It's gonna be a fantastic break 75!

I love the idea of two amateur groups to start off or trail the leaders for the first round at every PGA tournament and show how different levels of amateurs handle a tournament ready PGA golf course from the back tees. One foursome of scratch golfers and another foursome of 9 handicappers just in case someone has an off day. What would make it even better is if each group had a mic'd up "pro" with them to give them tips and advice along the way. For example the scratch group with Bernhard Langer. Then during the final round they could show where shots landed in comparison to the leaders and things like that. Very clever idea.

Rick saying he needs to change everything in the bag tells me he should do a version of the Build my Bag series like Peter Finch. So he can find exactly what he likes and what works best for him alongside fittings and all that to see what he gets fit into shaft, club, etc

I put a hybrid in my bag last season. Is now my "go to" club for second shots!! Haven't tried to use it like my 8iron, bump & run, but am anxious to try this season!! Thanks Matt! Great assortment of videos sir!!

Great episode and can't wait to find out what happened....you seemed genuinely shocked so thinking its BIG.

To the guy with the driver issue . Either cut the handle down a few inches or choke down two inches . Try holding it so the shaft is the same as your hybrid to start and slowly extend it as you get better .

The new studio has been named! The Grind Zone! Love it! There better be a big purple neon lights sign outside that studio when it opens 🤣

Rick saying the podcast was better in the first half 😂 bit like Man Utd on Sunday. Great content as always. Looking forward to hearing about the news. Keep it up

Im dying at Richard Shiels 😂😂😂

“Gnarly” earned my like straightaway lol

An infinite amount of Rick Sheils and infinite am... Break 80 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Can’t wait. Been following you since your early RU-vid days. I am so proud of your success!

great podcast as always!! The dream is about to become reality….. Augusta. The holy Grail of golf courses.

Can't wait for your Break 75 with Tiger at Augusta!

Wilson- the new staff bag is siiiick. And I don’t know how many people are like me but I like building all one-brand bags. I have a wilson bag, a titleist bag, and want to build a sweet mcgregor bag (need the classic green and white bag though, super hard to find) which would have to be all classics. But my main bag is a hodgepodge of the best in each category- Taylormade woods, mizuno irons, vokey wedges, and a putter tbd between a scotty and a mizuno omoi.

Best part when guy ask Rick the fan question and seeing his head go into a pretzel lol

Love to hear Rick wanting to grind and get better. Will definitely make the videos better

Playing with Tiger at Augusta National!? Congratulations Rick!

You lucky bugger RS!! Can’t wait to see the videos… live the dream mate!

In regards to the Umbrella-gate: You really shouldn't do this. My friend got his pushed down a bit too far, and it got stuck... for 2 seasons. His dad and mom had him go for an errand and said they'd fix it for him. When he returned, his dad pulled him aside and said, "hey babe, we almost just got divorced..." and the umbrella was still in there. He eventually just bought a new bag. Don't do this.. You'll get divorced.

If this is Augusta, pls make it a 3 hour special! I want to savour every blade of grass!

Another good one guys. I have always liked Wilson clubs and the new drivers look fantastic. i am also a nosey git and am dying to know what the news was 🤣

We had something similar to Guy’s proposal when Matt Fitzpatrick played in West Hill’s pro am and won it. He rented a £5 pull trolley from the shop. Class.

you guys are the best period

Having just seen Rick’s comment on Nate Edwardson’s channel… the big announcement could be a break through in a RU-vid Golf Tour 🤩

great podcast!

Another great episode and he is defo playing with the GOAT

I love my Wilson's got deep red 3wood and hybrid launch pad irons....infinite putter love em all

I think rick releasing break 75 where the pga is playing that week is brilliant. The pga should pair with rick and continue this. It benefits everyone.

Oh hello there :) Been waiting all morning.

I miss the nostalgia with golf bidder....Shielsy, ⛳️ congratulations on the "every golfers dream" whatever it is haha 😄 😆 😉

I’m all in for the grind zone 😂

I am beginning to warm to LIV. The level of golf is of the highest standard and competitiveness is strong. But the team names are rubbish.

looking forward to see your new clubs.

“Every golfers’ dream.” To me it sounds like we’ll be seeing Rick at Augusta national in a few weeks!!!

Hi, Rick. Could you do a review of reasonably priced golf shafts. It's always a guessing game for me as I select a regular flex shaft. I've been fitted for drivers, but I'm never confident I'm getting good advice. Thanks! Gene Van... Colorado

I played Victoria GC in Vilamoura in Portugal 2 weeks before the Portogees Masters. We did not even play from the tournement tees, "only "from the whites. It was so difficult and we were wondering what those European tour players might do there and we thought, because it was so tough, maybe 2 or 3 under to win. The winner came up with 23 under the cut was around minus 4. That showed me how good these players are and that was not Bay Hill! BTW should we do a guess what happend in the breack? I have 3 suggestions. First, a round with Tiger, second a Round at Augusta, Third a round with Tiger at Augusta.

I have a old wilson fwc 5 wood I got when I brought a bag of fb and its brilliant when ever my driver isn't going well I know that 5 wood will get me off the tee and down the hole and now I really want that new driver but will probably have to wait a while and get it 2nd hand

Has Guy been helping the lads build the new review studio? Looks like he’s ready for some welding in that blue collar jumpsuit 😁

That Sesame Street part was so funny 😁

I'm a big fan of guy, he's certainly won me over more each time a new podcast comes out. Looking forward to the big announcement, fingers crossed its Tiger 🤞

When are you guys coming to Nova Scotia. Cape Breton has some of the best courses in Canada

Having run the London Marathon a couple of times, you will find, the crowd spurring you on, can have it's own problem. It might encourage you to run faster than you can and you will pay the price, later on in the race. Good luck for the race. Great content

Rahm collapsed in the wind. Finished over par after the 7 under 65. Winner was 9 under. Still a great score on a real tough course. That just shows how good those guys are.

Have you been invited to play at Augusta National, or maybe even a few holes with Tiger? Either one would be great to see, but if your going to playing a full round with Tiger at Augusta National that would be amazing. I guess it might also be the chance to play with Rory, as they’re doing all they can to promote the PGA Tour at the moment. Looking forward to the Sawgrass episode and whatever is in store over the coming months 🙂👍🏻

Being from Northern Ireland, both Padraig Harrington & Darren Clarke were my favourite golfers growing up watching golf in the 00s. Wilson therefore because of Padraig was always a brand I have loved. So much so when I recently started playing golf having not done so since I was a kid I felt comfortable getting some wilson irons and balls and haven't looked back. I currently have a wilson bag and have a few hats etc, the only thing I have which isn't Wilson is putter and driver, the second which I never use anyway as I usually only play local par 3 courses. I definitely think we can form an emotional attachment to a brand, maybe even for nostalgia reasons and stick by them provided they do the job. I definitely do see a snobbery from the outside looking in almost being more of a spectator of pro golf rather than actively playing toward the trendy brands. That is one thing some brands need to try improve upon with a younger and more materialistic demographic involved in golf.

Hey Rick, Where do you find those Lyle and Scott stretch fit Caps? I don’t see them on the Long Island Scott website.

“Every golfer’s dream”. Rick is playing with Tiger at Augusta for the -10 shot challenge against a tour player. Can’t wait!!

Great stuff

So its either playing at Augusta or playing with Tiger Woods :D

100% Rick is playing Augusta. I’m thinking he’s doing a similar thing that he did with The Open. Also, I’m not sure if y’all saw how well Wesley Bryan did in the Puerto Rico tournament. Cool to see a fellow RU-vidr do really well in that tournament

Got a sneaky feeling you've been offered a round with Tiger

There's a Martin driving to work in South Africa listening to the podcast 👌

Regarding the affordable courses question I reckon it'll be class to see you both tackle your junior courses, I don't know for a fact but from what I've heard on past podcasts I believe ricks is Hart common and guy's is houghwood... I think???? It'll be mint to see that as I've played both courses plenty times!⛳⛳⛳⛳

my first set from dad was the Wilson Fg51 blades almost 30 years ago. OMG they looked so cool. I wish I can find a set now.

Was literally walking my dogs when you said “ a John walking his dog”. Its like you knew…

Loving the Sesame Street story 🤣🤣🤣

Defo playing with Tiger. Unreal!!!

I'm hopping it's a practice round at Augusta with Tiger, JT, and Rory with the three of them trash talking Rick the whole time!

Would be awesome if you could do an overview video of all the different tours and the most important tournaments in these tours. I can't follow anymore lol!

I'd say Tiger or Augusta is inbound. Also I game Wilson and love my irons. Priced and perform well

From Rick's excitement it has to be on his bucket list. I agree with some comments. Has to be Augusta, but I don't think it's with tiger. Rick's head would explode 😅

Let’s get Rick to Augusta to drop a break 75 video Masters week!

I see the potential for next year: the Rick Shiels break 75 invitational - where people invite Rick to play with them at their home course. bribery with sausage rolls is allowed.

Pity you recorded this on Friday I would have loved to see Rick and Guy talking about United's seven nil defeat

Enjoy playing Augusta Rick, very clearly every golfers dream 😂

Has to be Masters or Tiger related, they could not be so giddy about anything but else. 28:15

I played Bay Hill about 15 years ago approximately 2 weeks after the tournament and I had the same reaction about the rough

I work in a golf store that sells new and used equipment much like your Golfbidders and what I see in buying new drivers is price isn't a big deal for guys buying new and like you we see the same if they are a Titleist guy or a Ping guy they rarely try a different brand , there is some buzz about the new Wilson carbon driver because of all the u tube vids ,the market where Wilson will take sales away are the brands that are a little cheaper that don't have a lot of market share aways and the Wilson will hurt their sales , the Cleveland , Tour Edge , Srixon and Mizuno which are all priced lower and haven't performed as well as the top brands , but I know we will sell 100 used/demo Taylormade stealth's from 2022 before we sell one of the Wilsons or any of the 4 others i mentioned, we are selling those cheaper than any of these 5 2023 models.

Rick is definitely getting to play Augusta in my opinion

love to see the better courses, but it is the cheaper ones that grow the game of golf. i believe people would like to compare how you play around some of those compared to them. tremendous channel!

Yep, Augusta i reckon!

It's augusta surely?? You've done the florida augusta and that was great to see prior to the tournament....lucky bugger!!!

Yes I agree! Augusta

Definitely way more brand snobs than there used to be and tbh, 60%+ of amateurs probably could use a 200 quid driver instead of a TM or Callaway and not be able to tell the difference

I can’t imagine the pressure of playing in front of those crowds. It doesn’t matter how good I am playing just playing through a group on a local course I’m probably going to choke.

Such a shame they didn’t record this after the Liverpool match 😁

I AM USING CAPS HOPING YOU WILL SEE THE POST - I HAVE A QUESTION CONCERNING THE ARNOLD PALMER TOURNY - THE BALL WAS MARKED 1" FROM THE CUP, WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IN THE MARK WAS HIT BY THE NEXT PERSON HITTING AND THE BALL WHEN INTO THE CUP OR THE BALL BOUNCED OFF THE MARK AND ENDED UP A DISTANCE FROM THE CUP. THERE IS SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS THAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THE MARK WAS HIT

😂😂 Guy legend within 5 minutes you confused and ripped Rick.

If Rick decides to change his Ping G425 Max driver then I would love to buy it, maybe from Golf Bidder.....But he could also put it up for a Charity auction as I am sure he would get quite a lot of money for it especially if he threw in the head cover as well. Think on as it could be a great boost to your charity fund raising this year. And I hope you get to play at Augusta and maybe even play with Tiger or Rory. Keep up the good work

Has to be playing Augusta. Will it be announced on YT? I'm one of them weirdos that have zero social media accounts...thankfully.

Would love you doing a full bag fitting with TXG

I sort of get the no cut but also, who wants to watch their favourite players if they're 10-15 shots back?

It is incredible the level of malice and animosity that the PGA Tour monopolists have towards the LIV. First they attacked the LIV every day because of human rights in Saudia Arabia. Then after Biden went to Riyadh begging the Saudis to have better relations with the USA, the monopolists of the PGA Tour had no longer been able to mention the subject of human rights. Now they have begun to copy entirely the model of the LIV both financial (more money to the players) and of game rules (abolition of the cut, of the match play, etc, etc ). But if the LIV was for the PGA monopolists the devil why now ...... do they copy it in everything ?
