I played around a few days ago and this gentleman named Bob joined our group. Bob was at least 70 years old and he was carrying about 5 clubs which were all hickory sticks. He played the same tees as us, walked the course while we carted, and he easily out played us. Shoutout to Bob and everyone else who plays golf the way old Tom Morris did while the rest of us get try to find every possible edge to just shoot way over par.

12 holes is the perfect round. Just before I start to get frustrated 😂

My dad and I talk about 3 6's being the future of golf for a few years now. I know Rick and Guy mentioned "Rick's Quick Six" on the pod a few weeks back but I do think 6, 12, & 18 is the future.

Absolutely love your videos! You've got me playing again after a few years of not doing anything. Been watching tips and everything else along with it. The videos of the old courses have me wanting to make a bucket list trip. Thanks for the great content

Thanks Rick for showing some of the best courses and gamesmanship in golf. I loved watching your videos when working out of the country and you helped me come back to playing golf again. I love listening to your podcasts and they make my mornings when I am heading to the course or off to my deer stand. Your stories are the stories that need to be told and make for some great insight into golf as an industry.

Rick has quickly become one of my favorite KZreadrs. Having just found a passion for golf, he has a way of explaining the history of golf for people that makes it easy and infectious. These historical courses are my favorites.

Just started golfing this year. Thanks for making all this content and helping me start off with good habits before I learn the bad ones!

Great history lesson on the lineage of golf, and the founding legends. So cool to think about how far golf has come. Couldn’t think of anyone better to make this video, thanks Rick!

Thank you rick ! youre videos have given such a passion for golf, just started last year and absolutely love the sport!

Man I've just gotten back into golf after a 15 year battle with addiction, it's truly saved my life and this channel is what got golf back into my head. Thank you so much for what you do for people and the game Rick. This video makes you appreciate what golf is today and the battles those guys had to go through.

I love these historic videos. It almost gives you chills walking and playing in the same path of the early greats. So cool.

Love all these historic games you're playing. Thanks Rick!

Love the content Rick. Always entertaining and full of history and knowledge.

Class is permanent. The fact that his score can stand the test of time, even against modern equipment, is just so impressive.

Love when you try to match history, really makes you realize how good these guys were to play that well with those clubs.

New to golf I've been playing for like 3 months and I love it> I watch your videos all the time and they have helped me loads.

What an unreal treat to experience the history of the course like this! Thanks for sharing it with all of us!

Those baskets on the flagpoles are such an interesting sight to see! Absolutely love the attention to detail from the course owners!

Just started golf again after an 8 year break. Your videos have certainly help me improve alot quicker than i thought i would. Thank you

I just took an 8 year break too mate, been back 3.5 months now. I shot 99,102,104,96,99 ,91,92,93 - In my first 2 months back. Yesterday I shot 80. You'll still have the fundamentals there, you just have to stay patient and it's worth grabbing a lesson, helped guide me back to form!

Rick..You never get boring, i love the various challenges you do and the honesty with which you deliver..keep it up..!!

Thanks so much for showing us this beautiful course!

The fact they shot so low with that equipment is amazing. A 3 on that opening hole is insane. Thanks for showing us around the original course!

​@brandong4576 He holed his third shot from 200 yards. Stranger things have happened. Basically, an albatross. He also got the first recorded hole-in-one. I suppose the course conditions were pretty different back then. You wouldn't have had greens anything like today. It's very impressive.

What a privilege to play such a beautiful historical course. Great effort

Just got back into golf and with your videos alone I improved a lot in just a few weeks. Amazing video as always.

I love seeing this beautiful course. What a challenge it must have been. Without flags on the green it’s tough to huge the wind.

Rick has truly made my game better within the past few months and I appreciate what he does so much. Such an inspiration and also I love how he just stays positive his whole round no matter what.

There's nothing quite like a proper old links course here in Scotland. They're just so bonkers at times. Everything follows the contours of the land so nicely. No crazy water hazards apart from natural burns or the sea and the occasional stone wall cutting it's way right through the hole. I think there's a lot to be said about a nice lush golf course in the warm sun in the US, but I wouldn't give up playing golf here in East Lothian for anywhere else.

I genuinely have never been sad after watching a Rick Shields video. Always makes me smile or amazes me with how amazing he is. Keep it going man

It’s just absolutely crazy how they were playing way back then and with the types of clubs and balls they were using it’s incredible

Thank you Rick for introducing me to this awesome sport! Changed my life!

Love the content Rick. What a dream to play the golf course in the same layout as the first open championship!

As a relatively new golfer I love seeing the older course layouts. 2 pins per green is a really cool concept. Thanks for another great video!

You still get that now on some courses in Scotland - most notably the old course at St Andrews :)

The golf history is super cool, the fact that they used to play that well with the equipment they had is crazy

Great video. I’ve only just started playing golf this last month and already seen big improvements thanks to your vids!

Just love his shows and commentary especially when he tests clubs and balls. It's amazing how the golfers of the past used those hickory shafted clubs, truly gifted athletes.

Absolute gem of a video. Crazy to think how impressive of a 47 it must've been for Tom Morris with those clubs and balls! Great video as always Rick.

I am not a golfer, but to see what guys in 19th century could reach with clubs they had, seems like unbelievable. And I like Rick's challenges. Great.

Your videos are always full of information and entertaining. You do a great job rick!

What an experience. Thank you for taking along for the ride.

What an honour to play that course with all its history. Good effort Rick!

The fact that young Tom Morris made a 3 on a 578 yard hole is incredible!

Fascinating seeing the old course layout. Great video Rick!

I've always liked 12 hole courses. I never thought that 9 holes is enough. These days I enjoy 18 the most, when there's a decent pace especially. But 12 can definitely hit a sweet spot.

Can’t imagine how Tom would’ve done this course with those clubs and those balls. What a player he would be in this day and age

The fact that Tom was able to shoot below 50 with those clubs is incredible.

Really enjoying the content and learn a lot from it as a new golfer. Keep up the good work!

Great content as always. Fascinating how having good local knowledge can change how you approach a course.

Great video and great history! Thanks Rick!
