I agree! The last time I played I posted a 103, despite the fact I recently took lessons and thought I’d figured a few things out. There’s no doubt that I have improved, but the fact is I’m capable of posting and 85 or a 105. This is a cool video because it shows a skilled golfer struggling like we all do. I’d say most of us relate to this more than we would if he shot a 75.

Honestly, if you only had great rounds it would get boring. But it’s the human/relatable element that we come for. We know you are a good golfer, but we enjoy seeing bad days just as much as good because we have the same. 👍🏼

I love the way you describe the holes at the start so we know what you’re working with. I don’t watch for a low score, I watch to learn and I learn something every time. Keep up the good work. You’re doing what you set out to do, teach people and produce enjoyable content 👍

Rick this is up there with some of the greatest content you have made. I just love how relatable it is to the everyday golfer. Listening to the podcast now and kind of sad you will be putting this on hold for a while. Like all of us you would have most likely gone out this week and shoot the lights out. Best video of the year, thank you

That was some of the best content you've produced tbh. It's great to see videos embrace this side of the game , noone escapes days like this and to see yous laughing and joking and still enjoying the fact youre on a golf course and not in an office is refreshing. It fair brightened up my lunch break! Keep up the good work

This is why I love Rick. He's one of us. We all have to put effort into being good. You can be doing all the right things and making strides. All of a sudden, BOOM a huge step back. To be honest tho, this is why we all keep on coming back. 2 steps forward and 1 step back but that one step back humbles us and makes us want to stride forward again. Rounds like this keeps us hungry to be that ever learning student of the game. Great content Rick, thank you for showing that you are indeed human. You have to know that your videos, good or bad, help millions of golfers every day.

I actually appreciate your dedication to your fans by uploading this. We all know how good of a golfer you are. It shows you're human! No doubt you will probably break 75 on the next vid!

Huge respect Rick! We've all been there, but very few of us would ever dream of filming our living nightmare and posting it online for millions of folk to watch and review. It's a very tough course too. I've played it 4 times and not got within 10 of my handicap on any occasion. Well done for posting it mate and sharing the pain.

The attraction of your channel is it shows ‘warts and all golf’. We all suffer the same problems you show but on a much more frequent basis. Love the game, warts and all and the ‘off days’ become far less significant. Tubes (Golf Life) has it right. Take what comes and use it to drive improvement.

We've all been there, Rick. Keep your head up. You deserve a ton of respect for releasing this video. This break 75 series is so inspirational because it is authentic. We all know how good a player you are, this slump will be over before you know it.

Sometimes you just have those rounds where everything that can go wrong does go wrong. Feels like they pop up the moment you start to feel like you have the game figured out. I was finally able to hit par about a month ago and felt like I was in the groove. Went out last weekend feeling confident, hit a 91. Shots landing in the fairway were in natural low points, shots that missed were catching tree roots and launching out of bounds. Even had a shot that was intended to be a nice little bump and run catch a sprinkler head just off the green and fly right back at my face. Sometimes it just isn’t your day.

Just started watching the video so haven't got to the part yet where Rick says he was embarrassed of his behavior but all I can say is that I'm thankful that some of my behavior during bad play wasn't on film. I actually credit Rick and other youtubers for changing my embarrassing behavior, I was guilty of swearing, being rude to opponents/friends and even a breaking clubs a time or two when things went south but when I started watching youtubers some 10 years ago and how they respectfully the vast majority behave it suddenly changed my mindset and thankfully I stopped behaving like that. Looking back in my head I really can't believe how childish I used to act while playing something that you're supposed to do for fun.

I loved every minute of this video, Rick. I’m glad you didn’t delete the footage. Very authentic and compelling content. I’ve only been playing golf for just over a year now and it’s been really hard to be consistent - sometimes it’s good, and sometimes it’s really shitty! Videos like this make me one keep trying and break the 100 very soon! Looking forward to more genuine vids from you

Rick, I love that you posted this. I have rounds like this often and it was validating to know that even someone as good as you are at golf can have a round when things just don't seem to go your way. Very real and relatable! Thank you! You are an inspiration. I'm still hoping to break 80 one day!

Rick, I've been a subscriber since almost the very beginning and I just want to say one thing, you are a damn good golfer! Do NOT get down on yourself, what you do helps all of us learn. There are bad days, and working through it is part of the game. You doing it gives me the resolve to get back out there when I play WAYYYYY WORSE. You inspire millions Rick! Don't stop doing what you do, we need it, we respect it, we respect you, and love the heart and soul you put into your game and your channel. We know you care so much and it shows.

I recently restarted my golf. After 15 years. Started off well, but did my first 18 at Caddington blue golf course. And hit +51. Really dispirited and this video has lifted my spirits.

Rick, have watched you since July of 2021 when I first started actually wanting to get better at golf. Back then I was lucky to shoot in the 90s, I broke 90 one time all of 2021 in October thanks to your help. This summer I was consistently in the 90s, I think I may have shot in the 100s 3 times all summer throughout like 40 rounds and those were because I was already doing so bad I just messed around and had fun instead of caring about my score. This fall I have been consistently breaking 90, this week alone for example I shot an 89 on thursday, an 89 on saturday, and an 81 on sunday. The rounds you think are the worst you've ever played are some peoples round of their summer. That's how I like to think about it. When I'm shooting in the high 90s mad I didn't break 90 I'm also thinking most people who play golf can't break 100 and would be proud to shoot a 97. This 88 on a break 75 series was more relatable than you could ever achieve with a 74. We are all human, we all have bad days, the thing to think about though is you got to experience the pleasure of a bad day playing the greatest game on earth. Any day golfing is a good day. I once skulled a greenside bunker shot 60 yards over the green and it bounced off a house's back door and then sank a 40 footer on 18 for up and down infront of a packed terrace and recieved a roaring ovation in the same round. It's a beautiful sport, appreciete the beauty in a bad round of golf once in a while, you'll learn a thing or two every time.

Please don't stop doing Break 75! This round wasn't your best but people watch you because you are relatable and you help us aspire to better golf. I have been following you for a while now and I can honestly say, you, Guy, Peter Finch and Matt Fryer have inspired me back to playing golf after 10 years. Just finished a round of golf today and I was just happy to be there. Hit a few fairways and nearly chipped in twice. Without you and the others I would not be back playing. So please keep up the great work because you are helping many of us out there.

Watching you struggle was exactly what I needed after a dismal round at difficult course last week. I'm a novice golfer who loves to play, but was considering leaving golf because of that horrible round. Watching that video made me feel like the bad ones can happen to anyone. I love your KZread channel so please keep it going.

I'm still trying to get good at golf but because of your inspiration I keep at it. I watch your break 100 and 90 videos for course management. You will always be the inspiration needed before a game because you will always keep on playing regardless of how your round is going. Don't be too hard on yourself.

Your still and inspiration to all golfers!! We all have good and bad days and you still keep it interesting and positive. Keep break 75 coming!! Would love to see some more educational videos while you take a break to reset !!

If being a PRO athlete was easy, everyone would be a PRO athlete. You have had a reminder that golf is hard, and just when you think you have the game beat, it will beat you! You have helped me in my journey to learning golf so much, and I joined the golf game late in life.. I just turned 42 years old, and I have been playing now for the start of my 3rd year. I have wanted to quit so many times in my journey, but I then take a breather, relax, and remember what I have been learning. I have done everything without a single paid for lesson, only what I have learned from you Rick, and few others. I have shot over 100, and I have shot a 72 as my lowest score to date.. Golf is not an easy sport to learn, play, and win!!! Golf can't be won, only played.

3 stages of a crappy golf round,first lots of banter to start, second lots of encouragement for any small victories on the course then deadly silence. Kudos for showing all your followers that this is what golf can do to you no matter what your handicap. I remember a low handicap golfer told me when I asked how to make my game better,he said cut 12 inches from the grip of each club, i said would that improve my game and he said NO! BUT YOU’LL BE ABLE TO PUT THE LID ON THE BIN 😂

Hi Rick, I have a suggestion. Issue: you seem to consistenty hit your irons with a lower trajectory and a draw which results in a ball travelling further than you want and not being able to stop the ball close to the pin . Possible Solution: Might sound weird but try it. The best way I can describe it is... "Put a Loop in your Swing" So instead of bringing your hands straight back when starting your backswing... focus on bringing your hands on an outside path for approx the first 2 feet. I'm not talking club face, just your hands. Don't even use a club to start, just get the feel of your hands moving outside your normal line for the first 2 feet of your takeway. After that, just complete your normal swing. Improvements you should look for: higher trajectory, and straighter lines so just aim at the pin and fire away. Try the same "Loop" when you are chipping. You will see better contact, more loft, better feel for distance, much easier to hit from tighter lies. I brought this into my game about 2 years ago. Was a low to mid 80's player. Now I'm a low to mid 70's player. I'm now 60 and drive the ball maybe 250 yds so to play in the low 70's your irons and chipping have to be very good. Plus when playing from the whites I have the opportunity to shoot in the 60's which makes the game a lot more fun. Good Luck with the "The Loop", hope it works for you.

Mad props for putting this video out there. No possible financial gain can offset the humility it takes to show the world your worst moments. It takes a lot of character. Bravo Shielsy. Take all the time you need. We will be here for whatever you do, whenever you share it. Golf is hard.

Hi Rick/Guy, thanks again for posting the most enjoyable golf material I ever watch on my television screen. The content and interaction between the pair of you is just fantastic and makes the video so relatable to the average golfer. We feel your joy when things are going well (yes, there have been times :-), but I'm sure many other viewers like me feel your frustration when things are not going well. The reassurance I get from watching a good player like yourself having an off day reminds me that the professional game we see on our screens is at a level few of us could ever comprehend. Just suck it up like the rest of us and look forward to the next round when it could all change for the better. DO NOT STOP BREAK 75, it is joyous. Thanks again for keeping it real.

You started me on my break 90 journey now a break 80 one. Keep it coming! Enjoy your holiday come back refreshed full of positive vibes!

Don't worry Rick, it wasn't hard to watch, it was relatable. Sometimes all we can do is just take a step back and have a laugh.

One of the most relatable videos yet. Actually enjoyed seeing the human side of golf and to see someone who is typically upset after shooting +5 shoot a blow-up. Nice to see its not just the average golfers who have this problem!

Watching the whole thing is realizing that I'm satisfied playing the way he played. I was stoked shooting a 78 a month ago which is -10 from my previous best. Love this channel, you've helped my golf game so so much. Never stop posting, because you don't understand how much we appreciate you!

I'm glad that you posted this. Golf is hard and sometimes it's nice to see people that you admire work their way through trouble. It's helpful to show mistakes to others and model how to handle the struggles along the way.

This is exactly why i love your channel: it's honest and real. I just started golfing last year and this channel is one of the reasons I think I've got 'the bug". I think it takes a lot of courage to post something like this, more then most of us will realize. Hats of to you.

Look Rick, I know you have no clue who I am. But as a recent subscriber, I just want to say that I can REALLY respect the hell out of the fact that you share your struggles with us and not just the best days. It's nice as a beginner to see that even pros just have off days sometimes. I love watching your videos and while of course I hope for you to do well, it makes you human when you share the occasional bad day too. It happens brother. No loss of respect here. As you said, Golf is HARD. I have been struggling to learn how to hit my 3 wood, so much so I picked up a hybrid because everyone says they are easier and more forgiving. I was so excited to go to the range and try it, and I couldn't hit it well at all either. It was very discouraging. I decided that it just wasn't a day for golf. I'll try again here soon. We all have those days. But please, keep making your content. I promise we're still watching! Lol best wishes my friend.

You got this Ricky boy! Thank you for what you have done for so many of our golf games!

Having only just got into golf a few months ago your videos and outlook as a whole on the course has helped me massively. From your tutorials to the course videos it's made me fall in love with the infuriating sport that is golf.

Dude man.. I don't play ball golf anymore, just a ton of Disc Golf, but still very much enjoy your channel. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you posting something like this. I've been working on my disc game for years and years and still struggle to get a scratch round on my home course. I can birdie every single hole, but have yet to put a round together without taking a big number on at least one hole. So thank you!

I think it was authentic and brave to post this even though you weren’t happy with your round. Seeing the struggle gives the rest of us hope, so I appreciate you sharing it! Just shows that we are all human and can all have slumps or struggles occasionally. Cheers to you, and here’s hoping you break SIXTY five next time!

Honest and brave? It's just an f....king game of golf. Want to see someone brave? Go to a children's cancer ward, there you will see what bravery is. Sheild is just another money-making bullshit KZreadr trying to pretend he is a golfer. What is his message to the average golfer who wants to improve? All he does is complain, in every show he does. It's the same thing over and over. No way would I let him give me a lesson. Such a negative person, not the type of person to give confidence in one's self. Mabey that's the theme of his show? Make everyone who plays golf like him depressed. He gives me no hope to improve my game, that's why I would find a qualified PGA coach with a more positive persona to help me improve my game, not that twat.

I respect you more than any golfer on this channel or anywhere. No other KZreadr would show their worst performance but to show you a man of the people and your Chanel is for the people you show us it’s hard for EVERYONE!!! thanks Mr Shields 👍👍

This makes me want to watch more.. I shot a 92 yesterday & was happy but I’m still yet to break 90

This was easily my favourite episode, I laughed so much as I saw myself on nearly every bad hole. Thanks for being vulnerable enough to share you normalised all our struggles.

This is the most relatable video of yours I’ve seen yet! Thanks for staying true and posting for us!

Rick, please please keep doing those course/hole descriptions. As a blind golfer it is how I can imagine the hole you are playing. Stay awesome my friends.

As a relatively beginner golfer, I love your channel and seeing this helps me understand that everyone struggles sometimes! I found this video incredibly useful and helps me believe that you always keep trying! Well done Rick…golf really is hard!

Hey sir. I just want you to know that I watch your driver and iron hitting videos every time I go golfing and your hard work and skill has already helped me consistently add 50 to 100 yards on my drive and it's helped me actually hit my irons. I've cut 10+ strikes off my game because of all the amazing skill you shared with us. Keep your head up sir, I, for one, am never going to stop watching you.

There is a reason why I stay subscribed to your channel. Love your content, reviews, and all the great ideas for wonderful videos. Your channel is my go to for when I want to watch golf related stuff. I view your opinion very highly. Keep up the great work. I’m McLovin it.

This was so relatable. Everyone has days like this - even great players like Rick!

This was one of my favorite episodes to watch. It was honest and real and relatable.

I just watched this. You played a hard course and had a rough day. It happens to the best of us. I'll tell you a little story. My girlfriends dad is a golf pro. I usually shoot par or just under. I finally "got" to play with him a whike back. She had been bragging to him about how good of a golfer I was and maybe she finally found someone to keep up with him. So we went to a little 9 hole course a D played a round. I played the absolute worst golf of my life. On a course that I routinely play at 5-7 under par I shit the bed. I shot 10 over. His parting words were "I thought you said he could golf " as he was shaking my hand and walked away. We all have our bad days. You have improved my game so much. Thank you.

Golf is indeed hard. I'll simply say thanks for sharing, it is very much appreciated! Years ago I played a few times per week and that summer I played the most consistent golf in my life. My scores were between 80 and 87 with one exception. Most of this was on a not-too-difficult 6700 yard (125 slope) course, but it carried over to the other courses I played. Late in the summer I was invited to go play with a friend on a 6500 yard (140 slope) private course. My goal was to stay under 90 and play smart. 18 holes later I had been kicked in every conceivable way... mentally and physically. After what may be the worst round of golf I've ever played, which included 2 birdies, 1 par, and a hooked tee shot that cleared a house on the course, the street in front of it, and the house on the other side of the street I was ready to drop my clubs in the river. The result? 32 over... my goal of 90... a staggering 122.

This is marvellous, as well as the whole break 75 series. The fact that you have the guts to post a dissapointing game (for you) speaks volumes of your class. Also, we fans enjoy your content for what it is, a journey - a very well executed and edited one. Cheers to you, your team and Guy for making it possible!

Been here since 2014 & have never seen his confidence drop so hard. I thought he was going to blow up on Guy or something after the intro(thankfully he didn’t). For you newcomers, Rick used to be an amazing ball striker, one of the best I’d ever seen outside the tour. He’s immensely talented. I’ll never forget when him & Pete were hitting flop shots over a tall tree for fun like it was nothing.. his game hasn’t fallen apart, it’s all in his head.

Yes! His rounds with Pete are what made golf youtube popular. Legend. Even this summer he had some really nice rounds. Has to find a way to reduce the pressure on himself

He should definitely do a few rounds with Pete again. Ones with silly rules (like only Hickory or Junior clubs) and low stakes. Feel like Rick has been putting himself under too much pressure to do well in these B75s. I'm willing to bet he'll play better once he relaxes and learns to have fun with the game again.

Good Good broke him. Lol

If you always played like you (and all of us really) WANT to play EVERY round, your channel might WOW us, but it would get frustrating to watch. We're learning from your attitude as much as from your analysis, experience, descriptions, and swings. Keep up the good work out there on those beautiful courses, with that wide array of wonderful equipment, day after day, rain or shine. I feel like I'm watching a friend. Speaking of friends, that Guy is a great one. It's good to watch you two encouraging each other and the little ribbings are healthy, too. Keep 'em coming. Thank you, both!

Rick I'm glad you posted this video! We all have bad days, and even worse days we're not proud of how we reacted. I am not happy to see that you were frustrated and had a bad game, that's not what I mean at all. I'm glad that I'm able to 100% relate to what you're feeling at this time, and how the mental hurdles are often harder to jump than the physical ones. Love the video.

Rick, your attitude is fantastic. Golf is REALLY hard....itsl' the bad stuff that makes the good shots and great rounds even more enjoyable when they come. I love your honesty and the fact you did share this video says all that is needed about you. Well done.

Rick, I have played golf since I was 7 years old. I unfortunately had to take a break for quite a few years whenever I joined the military (adult responsibilities, yikes) this past year I have picked up the love for the game again and lord I am TERRIBLE. This video made me realize that no matter how long or how much you play, we all have bad games and it’s a part of the process (golf is hard). Thank you for uploading this, it gives a lot of us more “casual” golfers a proper insight to how this game can get the best of us. Much love from the U.S. Rick.

One of the best episodes yet!! I could totally relate your round. Us amateurs feel the way you did in this round nearly everytime we pick up our clubs and go out and play an easy course. You were playing a bad ass beautiful course. It’s why the Ryder cup has been hosted there 4x.

One of my favorite videos of yours. Unbelievable respect that you still released this. Keep your head up, golf KZread No.1.

I NEEDED this video! I've just started breaking 90 after months of low 90's scores. I felt like I made big leaps in my game last few months but on my last outing I could not understand how bad I was playing. I mean I didn't even finish because I was so frustrated and dumbfounded. I stopped keeping score but i'm sure I was on pace for 110. I couldn't understand going from high 80's to probably over 100. And i've been thinking about it day and night for days now. This just shows, some days you just really dont have it and theres nothing else to it. Just gotta move on and tee up again ;)

Like you said sometimes the game just isn't there. I feel like a lot of these kind of days has to do with the mental half of the game. At least with me I feel like those days are when I go to the course in a shit mood or something along those lines and it just carries into my round without me really noticing that was the issue to begin with, just thinking my game is shit which in turn makes the round even worse. Anger and emotion really destroys rounds!

The weirdest part for me is how I get better at golf everyday. Controlling my shots, distance, height, spin. Escaping bunkers well, putting 1,2 times a hole. But still my score just stays flat. Never improves or gets worse. No matter how much better I get.

To be fair mate you have cameras and entertaining us on your mind and can’t be 100% game focused, credit for posting though, gives us lesser golfers a bit of a lift as well as some good entertainment. Enjoying your channel 👍

So just to ease your mind, I have bought and entire pack of 8 faulty light bulbs. Near lost my mind trouble shooting till it clicked. Also replaced a starter solenoid in a VW van with a faulty brand new one and pulled the entire engine out trouble shooting, till we considered the brand new part might be faulty. I know pain and suffering well, had a chiro break my back before a national tournament that was to lead to tour play and the big show and played in the event anyway in monumental near suicidal level pain. “Tiz but a flesh wound” for the mind what you have going on. You are a genuine great fellow to watch, you put together great stuff for us to escape with, to help survive getting ripped apart by life and disappointment and for that thank you. I will say, if I may, careful not to let Fail Mode set in. It is ruthless and left unchecked, can set in like a beer belly and start to spill over into other areas of life. Second point, maybe a longer take away with less wrist action on take away and impact, shorter swing with bigger shoulder turn. Tiger stinger for test(no wrist action at all). Need you at your best when this Titan is fully resurrected and you accept the challenge you were to frightened to take on at the British Open by the driving range. I am coming, best be ready.

I love that you still post even these videos. Not because I like to watch you suffer. But because it's REAL. It's golf. And even in times like this, your pure passion for the game comes through. It's SUCH a mental thing. A bad stretch is so hard to break out of. But you're too good to suffer for too long. Keep putting this out there and we'll keep loving it!

Mate, from picking the golf clubs for the first time 7 years ago to being a 10 handicapper today, you have been a part of my journey all along. I can’t even count the number of things I learned through this channel and tried them to improve my game over the years. Thank you for being with us. Golf is indeed very hard and your biggest competitor is YOU!!
