Read a book quite a few years ago now called '4 Iron in the soul' True story about a journalist who takes a year off to become a golf caddy for a tour pro. Really good book, really funny and eye opening about what some of the caddies go through particularly when caddying for lesser known golf pro's. Definitely recommend it.

Definitely. It’s the golf version of “carrying just a few extra pounds.”

Wow, Will is a class act. Full on professional. Always giving exactly as much or as little advice as needed for each situation. Remarkable.

I love the confidence he put on Rick at 42:30 with Rick worrying about the branches and Will responds with "Naw, you're gonna be fine, don't even see the branches" and then follows it immediately with "You can, yes you can" when Rick starts to question where he can drop it. Fantastic to see how a Caddie works with the golfer. Wish you all the best in your Tour career Will.

I'm sure it's a significant adjustment that a player has to make when they have a caddie, but I did feel that Rick didn't make it and constantly over-rode Will's advice. Will didn't fight him on it, which I suspect is the sign of a good caddie anyway. The other thing that I noticed Rick doing that maybe Will could have pulled him up on was thinking holes ahead instead of focussing on the ball at his feet and the shot needed to play that. Certainly all Will's advice was about that shot, not some mythical shot on the next hole.

I’m new to golf but it seems important as a caddy to keep the mood light and the players from overthinking it so that’s probably why he does that

It’s interesting listening to him. He doesn’t tell Rick what shot to hit, but he almost encourages him into the right shot by saying ‘yes, I like that shot’. He’s basically validating Ricks confidence.

The “disappointing the caddie” is definitely a an aspect I can relate to😂. Thank you for another Friday episode! Loving these!

Of course when you have a caddie for the first time you simply can’t think for yourself…..

You've really stepped up the content and taken the editing to a new level. The hole previews using drone footage with the distance to hazards info overlayed, is superb. General camera work, breaking the 4th wall just enough. I'm really impressed with this. Maybe a new mini series, introducing new caddies? I also like how you tie your videos into the podcast and vice versa. Top stuff, keep up the good work!

Brilliant. And what a great guy he is. The thought that goes into each shot and the confidence he gives the player is incredible.

I love the banter: "You can't birdie them all unless you birdie the first one" "There's no pictures on the scorecard". Great!!

Genuinely one of the best videos you have done in my opinion.. super interesting and informative to hear all of Will's analytical advice for each hole using all his professional experience. Would absolutely love to see more like this, keep up the great work - you've been making some awesome content!

Brilliant episode. Thoroughly enjoyable. Some of the best rounds I've ever had have been with caddies. Just about how much to carry or lay up and especially the putting!

Major credit to your editing team!! Honestly the quality of these videos is amazing

This is the first caddy I have seen that gives you amazing confidence. He knows his stuff. His voice and energy are so good.

Loved how humble you kept and apologized at throwing him the ball and what a class response by will. I enjoyed the video so much Rick. Hope to see some more like this. Have you done something like this with Guy?

I think the confidence a caddie can give you is the invaluable feeling a player benefits from. If you trust them, you're more likely to make better swings. Better swings make lower scores. Confidence is such a big part of this game.

So interesting the conversation between player and caddie. I know this is something that is being introduced to tour golf but would love to hear more of it. Another brilliant video

Can i break par after having telekinesis abilities

One of the best vdos by Rick showing all of us how professional the tour caddies are and the kind of info they give ... the yardage the green read and the tee off ... awesome. Worth watching .

Great video, one of my favorites in this series. Loved Will Davidson. I can see the value on the reinforcement, the keeping focus, etc., even when it's nothing more than an "I agree." Maybe I'm just speaking too much for myself, but even when I am "pretty sure" I know the line--even on short putts, or how to play a shot into the green, etc., there's some small amount of doubt that keeps me from fully committing too many times. I need a Will Davidson in my life.

I love the confidence from Will on yardages and putts. “This is right, go at it”

Love his demeanor. Caddies are so good at never getting down and making sure the only shot you are thinking about is the one you are about to hit and not the bad one you just hit. Makes for a much more even keel round of golf even when it's not going so great. Not to mention...all the information they provide you with is invaluable. Great episode.

So glad you got him on the video! I watched both of them at the Shopritr LPGA classic, and it was incredible. He has such a good way of calming the player down, reassuring them, and letting them choose their own line at just the right times. Caddies are amazing

I think the best thing Will did for you today was keep your head level. When you have a non-ideal start in these break 75 videos, you tend to over think things and he didn’t give you the opportunity to and it really showed with the way you finished the round. Great video as always, Rick!

This was a wonderful episode. So interesting to see the preparation a caddy does aside from just carrying the bag . Well done !

Absolutely outstanding content again ,awesome to see how Rick can get so far out of position off the tee but still manages to get away with par,like Will said “no room for pictures on the scorecard “ it doesn’t matter how only how many

This is a great concept Rick and team. I love the break 75 series already, but this is a really nice extra bit of detail and information. Loved it. Thank you for the great content, your team are absolutely great and I think you’re smashing it.

This was fantastic! So fun to see the calming effect that a good caddie brings! Way to stick with it and finish with a great round!

This was one of the most interesting videos I knew what caddies did but it was really cool to actually hear and see one who’s a professional in action. Great idea for a video Rick! I’d love to see more behind the scenes videos like this!

This was outstanding. Love Will’s energy! Can’t wait for the podcast!!

It is very nice to see and hear what a pro caddie does. Great work, both of you!

Such an awesome concept for a video, I’ve always wanted to see inside the mind of a pro caddie like this

honestly a really good round... the expectation of 68 69 at the beginning set the tone but really we were just aiming for under 75. so you 74 and under is mission accomplished. some of your misses would be my dream shots. keep at it !

I always love the way caddies (mostly as far as I know) always try and think positively during a round. Never say anything negative to the player, to keep the thoughts positive

Just wanna say thanks for this video Rick. Have been knocking on the door of a sub 80 score for a while. Hadn’t watched this video until Friday this week and seeing how you guys approached the round and various tee shots helped me break 80 today. NEW PB of 78!!!! 🙌🏾

That was so cool to see how a caddie can really help your game. We see it in the pros and expect it of course. Sometimes we need to really have a chat with ourselves on the course and make better decisions. Thanks for this video! Rich Z

Absolutely fantastic his knowledge is priceless please do more like this with tour caddies 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

This is such a cool episode because it shows into the mind of a caddie. I love this twist on break 75 👍

Love the course management conversations in this one! Great round, Rick!

I agree that caddies definitely keep you level headed. Helping control your emotions. Especially after poor shots. There very good at not just reading the course but counseling you through the frustrations of golf..

Great video. Great insight to caddie life. Surprised he didn't encourage u to play to ur current shape. Still had you aiming middle when you were heavy drawing everything. Plus surprised didnt encourage early putts getting them to the hole. Once pace greens dialled in was a putting masterclass. Great round considering spots you found yourself in. Level par with about 2 fairways found.

Great episode. Really enjoyed it and to see, what an impact a caddy can make. Great stuff guys

Fun round to watch! Started horrible but kept your head in it and scrambled like crazy during the bad holes. A lesson for me to learn from!

Liked Will's positive attitude, mental strenght and focus. I'll try to emulate some of it next round.

Great video - was interesting hearing the thought process as you talked through the options. Was good to learn course management and just how much a caddy does apart from carrying those giant tour bags!

Been looking forward to this all week!! Time to hit the couch and enjoy, thanks again!!

I mean, it's not just him and the caddie.... he has an entire film crew with him. Way more pressure than i could handle. I also appreciate Rick appears to be an everyday dude. Little bit of a dad bod, still killing it.

2 mins in and i am already loving it. Probably one of the best episodes of this season.

My favourite Rick Shiels video. Excellent knowledge from Will and it looked like fun to be part of. Great content

Really like Will. Calming influence on the course. Liked the way he knew exactly what shot you needed to play but you both decided what was the right club. Very enlightening on how to plan your way round the course. It's not all about just hitting an 8 iron (my 140 club) because you've got 140 to the pin. Monthly medal tomorrow. Already feel like I'm going to look at things a bit differently.

Rick, what I found so fascinating was Will's attention to detail, prior to and throughout the 18 holes. No wonder you thought, at times, that you were letting him down.

My favourite video in a while, loved how you were genuinely competing against yourself like all of us do! Great video!

This video is my favorite of the ones that you've made. I was glued to the video for the entire thing (a rarity on YT for videos this long).

Glad to see Lexi's caddie, Will Davidson. Lexi needed a good caddie because the caddie before Will was fairly incompetent. I saw him keep her from winning a tournament. He misclubbed her at a major in the wind...she was short three times in a row. Glad she has Will now. Lexi needs encouragement. She can get down on herself. 'Nice come back on the back nine, Rick! Good round!

Brilliant stuff 👌👌Really good Rick!!! Yes Will definitely assisted you in shooting 71…. Love Will & all the stuff U do🔥🔥 CHEERS ⛳️⛳️🇬🇧🇺🇸

I have truly reverted to watching you Rick over any other television going. You don’t make enough of these, I vote for 2 a week 😃. Never give up making the break 75’s mate.

Great video Rick!! Thanks enjoyed it very much. Love Your honesty while playing, it is truly inspiring. By the way, what a caddie - so good!!!

Ok how many people here are in their heads like “ I’m going to hire a caddy to see what kinda score I put up? ! Great video Rick!

If you ever do this again, tell us what club and distance you would do, then contrast that with what you and your caddie decide together. Will take a lot more time, but I would be so interested in the difference, if there's any.

Brilliant episode that, loved seeing Will at work

your putting is insane! favourite video of yours ive seen so far! i am new so give me time but i love this. still new to golf as well.

Great interaction between you guys, BRILLIANT!

Yeah the podcast was brilliant, u definitely need to do another one I’d love to hear more stories

i've only watched 1 hole yet but this caddy is so pure lmao. love the shots of him testing the hardness of the greens the day before. and all his little golf mottos ready to go at a moments notice.

Always enjoy the videos!!!! I fight the same over draws and have been fitted and played longer and upright irons being 6'3" ,I had a chance to play some irons that were 2 degrees flat and it really calmed it down and really freed me up , maybe with all the access you have to irons give it a shot !! it might help like it did with me or it won't but you won't know til you try !! Again really enjoy your hard work , keep it up !!!

great putting as always...saves you time and again

This was quite educational. It was also nice to see that even though this was just for fun, the caddie took it very serious and it showed with the outcome. Rick your videos are great and your podcast is so much fun to watch. i would love to see a video of you and Guy with caddies at Royal Port Rush gold club.
