Rick Shiels: Golf's most influential YouTuber | E2  

Thanks for having me on the podcast Sir Nick! It was a real pleasure 🙌

Really like Sir Nick’s interview technique. Allows the guest to speak, listens well, interjects at the right time and sounds / looks interested. Great stuff !

Best thing of this video, every minute Sir Nick transformed more and more into Nick Faldo. From a retired golf legend into an enthusiastic golf lover. I loved it.

Nick Faldo & Rick Shiels, the unlikely bromance the entire golf world needed!

Nick Faldo, the man who inspired me to play the game. 35 years later he is still the greatest ball striker I have ever seen!❤

Rick’s a hard working success story and deserves everything he gets 👍 great to hear his story

Sir Nick is possibly the coolest dude on RU-vid. Lovely guy. Ricks a cool dude too.

That was amazing. I thought i knew a fair bit about Shiels as I’ve been following his journey for the past 5 years, but this gave me new info. And Faldo, for as guy who’s been about for a while - you are incredibly down to earth and genuinely communicate on our level (SIR). I will be following the next interviews for sure.

The dulcet Bolton tone is definitely the gateway. The content keeps us coming back. Sir Nick will get there. Keep the platinum tips flowing.

Absolutely love this chat. Rick so very humble and Sir Nick just such a gent and genuinely interested in everything Rick was saying. I'm now also convinced that Rick is going to play Augusta (the upcoming announcement) and it was Sir Nick that arranged it.......😏 Awesome stuff both 👏

Faldo was such a great golfer and hero of mine. So down to earth. Great interview

Just a brilliant watch. Sir Nick is just a cool interviewer. It’s like watching two guys having a chat over a beer in the pub. Please keep this channel going …..👍

Absolutely love this interview with Rick and the channel in general. Nick is so knowledgeable (obviously) and interjects perspective perfectly in these chats. Can't wait for the next one.

I very much admire both men. Sir Nick is and always has been my favourite golfer. Such a gentleman and a great example fo us all.

One of my favorite golfers and my favorite golf RU-vidr. Class. Nick was spot on. If you have to ask how much you should practice, you have no chance. The hunger needs to be there.

Sir Nick, the man who got me into golf and swinging a club, whilst dressed head to toe in Faldo Pringle. and the most memorable quote when winning a tournament. After winning the Open " i would like to thanks the fans from the bottom of my heart and thank the press from the heart of my bottom" Great interviews, great to see Rick on the channel. thanks for the great content from both of you.

Rick's videos are what got me playing golf. Absolutely love his channel. His video with Nick is what made me sub to Nick's channel. This conversation was fantastic! You two are fantastic content creators and golfers. Thank you!!!

So happy to listen to these two legends! Rick’s podcast with Sir Nick was such a great listen

Hello, Sir Nick. Shout out from Vietnam - a country in the early stages of golf growth. A wee story for you, Sir. Many years ago, in the early 80's my Father was a member at Wentworth and he met you a couple times. He was an American businessman, a total golfnut and was thrilled to have met you. He had a story about you he loved to tell. One morning he was getting ready to play a round, hoping someone at the club would invite him to join a group and you were on a practice putting green there at Wentworth, trying out 4 or 5 different putters. Curious, my Dad asked you why did you have so many putters. "I'm looking for one that works!" 😂

That. Was Awesome. It’s just cool to see Sir Nick chatting away, he was so locked in back in the day he seemed unapproachable, and understandably but it’s equally as fun to watch now. Well done!!

Great sharing session, 2 great chaps. Thanks legend Champion Nick, and indispensable Rick.

Very interesting, more like a good talk than an interview. Was drawn back to golf a litte over a year ago by several Rick Shiels club test reviews, from there I just ran with it and loving practicing all over again, with a big help from the channel AMG. Sir Nick is a great ambassador for the game, who's probably forgotten more about golf than most of us will ever know. Big thumbs up from the States!!

Great job guys! Thanks for entertaining us once again! Hope you record your upcoming 18 hole round and let us watch it....👍🏼⛳

Sir Nick was the golfer who got me to love this amazing game. Watching him winning the Masters will stay with me forever. Rick is the man who gives us golf fans what we want with thoughtful content always. Keep it up Sir Nick.

Thank you Sir Nick. Genuinely enjoyed the video. Rick is a genuine guy and I can see why he is so successful. Your love of golf and the hard work you did comes through. Thanks again.

Great podcast. Listening to two golfing enthusiasts talking about the game they love. A lot of respect between these two for what each has achieved and fun to watch.

Gr8 interview Sir Nick! Been following Rick since his days at the range and I got to say we learned a few things about ole Ricky boy today. Keep up the great content

What a great interview, the fact that Sir Nick Faldo is interviewing Rick, brilliant, thank you guys. Oh and there is over 44k golf courses worldwide

Love these interviews - he listens, engages, asks insightful questions and makes it fun. Rick’s great, too, made for a fantastic guest. Can’t wait to see them play a full round together.

Sir Nick, you are one of the greats and I enjoy all you do for the game of golf.

Couldve listened to this two chatting all day, great stuff

Sir Nick, what a great video. Loved it when you were on Ricks channel and you two seem to have a great rapport. Would love to see some of those things happen and you getting together again in the future. Love your new content, my golfing hero and inspiration when I started, love the content and can’t wait for more.

Well done, Sir Nick and Rick! Already watched several times. Relaxed, fun, informative, and interesting. Like listening in on a great 19th hole conversation. Looking forward to future collaborations between these two!

Rick is a humble, honest and real person with NO EGO which, to me, is why I watch and love his work. Thank you Rick!

Great conversation. Funny how Sir Nick is the interviewer at the start but by the end, Rick is really the interviewer.

Wow now we have a real idea what Ricks "every golfers dream" will be....looking forward to watching that on Ricks channel.

Totally engrossed in this interview, so easy to watch. Love Sir Nick

What a great interview, it's amazing to see how far Rick has come along in RU-vid I have been following him since the first year he started.

I enjoyed this chat , no rush just natural casual and interesting interview . RU-vid format gives this freedom with the time to expand the replies . The few holes you both had in the wild and cold in the UK proved Nick still can adapt and score .

It must be something to be interviewing someone who was likely a hero of yours growing up. Well done, Rick. Congrats and here's to continued success.

Best podcast that Rick has been involved with..thank you Sir Nick..your style is so relaxed and relatable..subscribed!👍🇬🇧

That was gold - Great to see the dynamic from the prior video on Ricks channel continue - you guys should do more together!

Big fan of both of you. I'll say that the Break 75 at Cael was, for me anyway, the best instalment of Rick's series. I'm looking forward to more of these round table chats, Sir Nick. Best

Your podcast on ricks channel was a fantastic watched it two or three times now .just watched this just as entertaining keep the great work up

I can't believe how fast this hour passed. I really hope your channel gains the traction and interest it deserves Sir Nick. Thanks for such a laid back and enjoyable viewing experience packed with great content with the RU-vid master that is Rick Shiels. Would love to see more collaborations between you guys as you bounce off each other really well. A humble and classy host even with all your accolades letting your guest take centre stage. Legend 🏌‍♂️

Why no new videos Nick? You're absolutely a natural for this format.

Great podcast. Very natural and relaxed. Loved learning more about Rick's story.

Really interesting pod guys good to hear both of your thoughts on the great game of golf.

I could listen to these guys talk all day.

Just Google how many golf courses are in the world. 38,081. There are 251 countries in the world, 206 of them have courses. Great interview, Nick! I love the channel.

The most relaxed and engaging I have ever seen either of you. 10/10! Or as Rick would say “Wun hoondred persent”.

I'll always remember the match Sir Nick and Rick played in that crazy weather. Nick was dropping those long putts, it was blowing a gale! Great video gentlemen!

Such class. These two are everything golf has been, will be, and should be. Thanks, gents.

À real down to earth discussion, very interactive between you both.

I got a used set of Mizuno TP19's for Chistmas 96/97 when I was 16.... Sir Nick got 4x sets and I love how excited he sounded opening them up and choosing his preferred bats😊

Such a brilliant interview, really enjoyable just two guy talking about their love of golf & ongoing aspirations. Love it keep it up.

17:53 That is why I have always loved Rick’s videos, they are raw footage that normal golfs can relate too.

WOW WOW WOW...... That must be the very best sit down chat ever produced on utube... Regards to you both for an excellent show..... ( I even shouted at the postman for disturbing me half way through )

Thank you both. I have a new appreciation for Rick!

56:14 best part of the whole chat 😂😂😂😂😂 Rick is genuinely confused and looking for reassurance

Loved this! Great to hear Sir Nick interview Rick and fascinating to listen to his story! Sir Nick, you have a new follower!

Absolutely fascinating. Fantastic interview. Thank you so much.

Great to see "sir nick" relaxed and chirpy,great energy between the guys....!

What a great watch. Really good vibe between you two made it incredibly entertaining. Thanks

Great interview Rick and Nick. Rick one of the best things you demonstrate in your videos is not to lose it when you get into trouble on the course just accept it and get on with it. It's character building!

Awesome interview. The lad from Bolton just keeps smashing it.

just how good is this? absolutely brilliant!!!!! thank you Rick and Sir Nick Faldo!!!!!! both legends in their own way !!!!!

Nick. You are a legend. Chasing down Norman at Augusta got me into golf. Like your style on camera. You will kill it on RU-vid. Do one video at Augusta and it will break the internet…….

Hey guys. Great video with Rick. I'm an American and what I like about Rick's videos is being able to see some of the GREAT courses he has played overseas. I say that because I may not be able to get there in my lifetime. Golf is a great game and I'm only a 15. At my best, a long time ago, maybe a 10. But either way, some of the courses in England, Ireland and Scotland are incredible. So, Rick playing theses fantastic courses on RU-vid make my day. Keep up the good work!

Growing up watching Sir Nick playing in always thought he had a bad rap of being bland but watching a few videos on RU-vid it couldn't be further from the truth. Seems a top genuine guy 👍

Splendid pod cast. Looking forward to their next match. The match at Cruden Bay was the best one yet from Rick Shields. Freezing that was. 💨

This is awesome, legendary Sir Nick and Rick! That has a nice ring to it "Sir Nick and Rick show"

Sir Nick great video. Listening to you & Rick banter was delightful!!

I'm a year older than Rick and I was a Greg Norman fan before Tiger came along so I hated Nick when I was a kid. But as an adult after seeing all of his content and contributions to the game (thanks to RU-vid) Sir Nick Faldo is my favorite golfer of all time. What a class act.

That was the fastest hour on You Tube, great content from two real professionals.

These are genuinely entertaining and grown up discussions. Well done.

Great watch. Two of my favourites. A different side of Rick. Phenomenal!

Fabulous podcast. Absolutely brilliant and well worth watching, thank you

Sir Nick, the nicest man in golf…….many memories of watching you back in the day when I was just a small boy to now nearly 60 years of age…Thank you for you entertainment on and of the golf course 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Sir Nick is a gem!!! I would love to sit and chat with him.

My badass American Saturday night was...this video and a few beers. Thanks fellas.

Sir Nick was my first golfer I remember watching on the tele in the 80s and would love to meet him in person in June at the British Masters

Imagine being an icon of golf asking a young lad who's mastered the medium you are just breaking into how it all happened. Sir Nick recognizes the power of how social media has transformed golf, with guys like Rick Shiels paving the way. Brilliant interview. Happy to see the dichotomy of two approaches to the same game...both equally passionate.

I could have listened to a 3-hour version of that! Great video, thank you.

What a great podcast. Could watch hours of this chat.

Ricks channels are excellent. Both entertaining and informative. He speaks to the viewers! I like the variety too! From expensive premium sets, he also tests beginners package sets. Something for golfers of all standards whether beginner or serious club competitor. I love the golfbidder challenge too! Liking this new series too with a six times major winner. Building quite a good list of favourite podcasts.

What a great interview! Old school and new school coming together, great respect, look forward to more content from these two together

Amazing stuff. Thanks both for an entertaining listen 🙌

Such a great pod - didn’t know sir Nick had a channel. So many new vids to watch!! Sweet

Two of the best guys in golf. Keep up the great work.

Excellent Video Sir Nick & Rick. Great to get an insight into Ricks background and how he started in golf. Sorry Rick but I would love to meet and play a few holes with the great English Sir Nick.

I could honestly listen to Nick and Rick all day. So interesting and relaxed. Great content

hard to find trustworthy influencers these days. Good on you for staying true Rick!

Loved the interview with Rick. Relaxed somewhat informative in the depth of it. What I am glad to see is having guests on that are not just legends of golf. I personally am interested in finding out about what's behind the curtain if golf around the world whether that be light or dark. The truth is a wonderful equaliser and the PGA butting heads with LIV GOLF is a great example of that. It's clear to see that most of the old guard support the PGA, including mainstream media focusing in on the money made by those who have switched tours. My personal view is growing and expanding has pain that goes with it, which occurs as a result of people not wanting to change and yet we are in a period of human development where change will at its greatest than any other period x 1000%. We are moving in to the age of Aquarius and that means the old guard will have to change or be wiped from the face of this earth. To speak in terms of surfing 🏄 in the next few years those who seek to control the wave of change instead of getting on the wave with rest of us will experience the biggest mass wipe-out that humanity has ever experienced in regards to change itself and the sport of golf will be no different. Exciting times ahead. Thanks again Nick and Rick for your relaxing cander. Divine Blessings to all.

Thanks for the great content! I also really loved (Top spot) your video with Rick this past year.

Wow, you guys nailed it with this podcast. I watched it twice. I have been following Rick for a few years and didn’t really know how he stared in RU-vid. Thanks for sharing!

I was fortunate to attend several tournaments where Jack participated and was always impressed by Jack’s interaction with the fans. Total class.

brilliant ...love Rick and Sir Nicks a legend..really enjoyable to watch, thank you

Loved this video, 2 greats of British golf albeit in different areas of the game. Such great interaction between the 2 shows they respect each other and allows for honest interview/ podcast. Would love to see Sir Nick & Rick play Augusta. Top video Sir Nick, more like this please! 👍🏌🏼‍♂️⛳️

Really enjoy watching a hall of famer and the utube goat talking enthusiastically about this great game.
