I often get back issues, neck pain etc. If I’m honest, it’s usually stress related. Hang in there and keep moving forward

Unlucky mate on you back pain but you still got round hopefully you’ll recover and get back to normal great golf as I expected 👍

Back and neck is no joke in life it's just constant pain. Even worse on the golf course. Rest and heal then get back on the grind that is golf

You're obviously an amazing golfer...probably better than you actually think. Mentally I'm not sure making videos about Rick is ideal, even though it was more in jest..just brings into play even you thinking about trolls posting abuse, which mentally doesn't help. . Stay strong...plenty of golf left this year & you've got the game 👊

He’s A LOT worse than he thinks.

Look forward James....good luck and may your injury go away asap!

Well done bud , pain is a thing unless u are feeling it no one knows keep going mate u will get there

Good on you for finishing the round James, just unfortunate circumstances. Better luck next time mate.

Go for it again next year. You are getting better and better. More comps is the key.

Great to have had you at my local club

Unlucky mate! Chin up keep fight

My brother in law is a chiropractor in Glasgow and a low handicap. His clinic is Battlefield Chiropractoic and I recognise those stretches 😁

All the big KZreadrs struggled to be fair score wise. Carter and Matt did okay. I walked with Matt and it’s was good to see his hole in one. Better luck next time James. You can’t play with a bad back or neck. So well done for grinding through the pain.

A real pity that happened to you but hope you can recover and then get back at it!

Good to see you so positive despite the obvious disappointment of what happened. 1 over at the turn with such an injury is really good going and dropping all those shots in a few holes near the end is no surprise i guess. I saw you'd shot +9 on the open website but with context, you did really well! Keep going james, recover well and get back playing your best stuff! There's always next year!👍

Bad timing with the back/neck... good thing you've got the golf game to come back strong when the body allows it! Enjoy your rest and good luck at the next

Enjoyed speaking to you a few times James, +1 front 9 is very good considering!! Good luck tommorow…

I’m gutted for you James, keep plugging away son! Watching your journey has got me hooked!

Sports injuries suck - had my share playing footy. Physio and their treatment plan (stretches, typically) worked for me. Pulled my hammy and agravated it by not getting physio and kept playing. Look after your body man!

Keep going your a good player

Keep it going mate you doing a great job. Ignore the haters. I know not easy but without health other stuff doesn't follow so best not to play through that kind of injury.

Too bad about your injury but still a lot of golf left this season and hopefully a win or two.

The most important thing is your health, i have had many injuries over my Tennis playing career, Reiki/Acupuncture is 100% the answer, I had allsorts of special treatment on a shoulder injury, 8 moths later, after literally doctorsetc etc , i went to the Acupuncturist , had Reiki treatment and afew helping needles, amazing 5 days later healed!! best of luck and dont play injured you can only make it worse bro, regards

100% disagree with this…you’re just putting a band aid on it. I was in your shoes James 20+ years ago. I was shooting under par but I was also lifting stupid heavy weights. You more than likely hurt your back and neck because of compensation. Pelvis out of whack, tight or weak hip flexors or hammies, etc. Gotta chill with the heavy squats and bench press and work on stabilizing muscles…just my two cents. 1 over is amazing!!

James you need to learn about electro massage, self adhesive pads, sends electro pulse through the muscle's, this relaxes the muscle and the pain is gone in 20 minutes. Mike Tyson uses this during his training to stop the muscle's having a spasm.

u done ok it was clear to all that u were struggling big time ,to get to the tenth tee only 1 over was a great achivment initself personally i think u should of retired after the 12 ,but fair play u kept going ,u will come back stronger after this setback good luck for the rest of the season

Yeah I think I probably should of as well tbh that was when it fully went 🙄

fair play

Hugely disappointing for you, but your willingness to share your experience so honestly is enthralling viewing for us mere hackers. It helps the rest of us understand just how hard it is to “make it” on the professional golf circuit, but your golf game, mentality and dedication just need to align with a huge slice of good luck 👍

Everyone needs to realise you're all on KZread for a reason. You're average Pro's at best.... great golfer's in your own right, but miles short of what we see and are use to seeing day in- day out on tour. Either DP, PGA, or LIV. These guys 'have it'. Natural talent and perform when the pressure is on. Top 0.1% of players. They are a different class. You know that! Great channel by the way very amusing so keep up the good work.....And get well soon... (but talk about snowflake generation)! I can't say 'Man up' anymore, anyway looking forward to buying some stay fresh and some more 100% polyester clothing soon with my special code.

Just got to take the positives James, shooting +1 front with the injury shows the rest of your game is in good enough shape to get it round. Plenty of your peers shot much worse And fair play for finishing the round

Get well- look after yourself and come back next year

Not at all bad with one arm, keep at it and hopefully the injury disappears as quickly as it turned up!

Get a paingone pen! It’s bloody awesome for stuff like this, will sort you out and it’s cheap! Amazin under £30

Hey bro, followed you for a while and the progress you've made the last few years has been impressive, especially the -8 in South Africa. It's a shame you messed up your neck as I was looking forward to seeing how you would do. Out of all the KZreadrs I would have backed you and Peter Finch to make the best effort. Injury killed you this year, so just have to accept it and move on. Ignore the haters. Even Finch, who has been playing super impressive, had an off day and shot +12 so a one round shoot out is a little down to chance and how you play on the day. Anyway, keep going and ignore the haters tho there are probably only a few trolls and we focus on the few trolls rather than the hundreds or thousands of people who appreciate the content and progress in the past few years.

to end up 9 over with a bad back is actually fine. Remember perfectly fit guys shot worse. The main thing i see is your attitude towards the whole event, and outcome, extremely impressive. Relax, stretch - dont play too much full pace otherwise you could do proper damage. Get fit, and you will kill it. congratulations

All youtubers will be posting similar video s explaining what went wrong.

Sad to hear mate, fair play for sticking thru it. Would definitely advise going to an osteopath or physio rather than a chiropractor.

Character building 😂 Recover up!

Literally everyone trying has crashed out with issues Rick, Pete, Bullard and many more tough stuff.

The choice surely is very simple If you wanna earn from KZread then do it like the rest of the KZread “stars. If you GRNUINELY want To turn pro and do really well in Open Quals; and turn pro on your for ever more; ditch the tube! You can’t concentrate and manage both How many other tour pro did the same as you and are now tour members Your destiny I hope you choose Open Quals and become full time tour member. Cos Flower ain’t going to help you is he… Good luck…..

Clearly, focusing on being a tour pro has its benefits. However, James isn't a 21-year-old coming straight out of education and living at home with his mum and dad. Like most grown adults, he has to earn money, and KZread is not just a hobby, but a potential career. It facilitates income and offers an opportunity to create revenue not only through viewership but also sponsorship. There is no benefit to stopping KZread golf if he still needs to work another job unless he quits the ambition of tour golf completely. I won't comment on whether I agree or disagree with your comment because it is only your opinion. However, given the circumstances and the fact that he's arriving at the tournament with a clear injury he's been trying to manage over the last week or so, I find your comment a little unnecessary. It would have been best saved for a post-tournament recap when he's in good health.

If rick asked you to play him in a utube game would you take him up on it James? I think if you added Peter finch to it, that would make a great video . Hope your back gets better soon bud.

RS or Finch asking him to play a round 😂😂😂😂😂😂 They're too busy playing the likes of Rose, Harrington, Westwood etc, etc. And I think he's burned that bridge anyway.

looked a wee bit sore your swing at practice James. Well done keeping going though, now you know how the average golfer feels hitting it not so far. well done though.

Chiropractor, James. Get to a reputable chiropractor. Find out who the preferred chiro in your area is and get there. You have a bound up joint that you've never had before....and feels like a back injury. Get to a chiro. I'd guess something to do with your hips. But only a chiro could find that out.

As if you didn't give me a shout - would have caddied all day bru. Hope the back gets better ❤️

Keep your chin up fella

Unlucky, I wouldn't have even bothered in that much pain, Bullard pulled out for a similar reason. Good to see you deleted that Shiels video as well, needless negativity will attract similar

Never give up but you have to be realistic sometimes in life, making it big might just not be your thing. Play to your strengths, you might just be more successful in life. Sorry if this offends.

Without watching let me guess. The same thing happened as before. Something was wrong and caused another disaster?

Maybe you just need too man up

I’ve noticed though that all the KZreadrs spoke about it and even tiktokers that played had abuse. Just the way of the world mate you have to laugh

Just think folk are reacting mate so you are relevant in their eyes. If nobody gave a shit there would be nothing said. Keep it up

I think you change your goals and directions too much mate. I hope you have a plan and stick to it for at least 18 months. Its going to be difficult to be sucessful in an area if you always change direction. You were a fitness coach. You know if someone wants to be a bodybuilder, they need to stick at it. If one month you want to be a bodybuilder and the next month you want to be a crossfitter, then a sprinter, then a weightlifter, you'll never get anywhere with any of them.

Chiro, osteo, physio, reiki, accup, etc. all charlatans. With an injury, the body needs to rest until it recovers / comes out of spasm. You shouldn't have played, you've probably made it worse. Rest, recover, regroup.

now and again same happens to me.. go get a deep tissue massage .this 100% is the only thing that works..you will be annoyed at how good it is..

wow I cant believe you managed to play at all. looked in a real bad way on the range. credit for actually saying your final score though. mild rant directed at other youtubers mostly who do open quali - this is the importance of not expecting the world for 1 event if things outside your control happen.That is why all youtubers fail miserably at open quali, they treat it as their whole year based around 1 event and then you hear the same excuses every year for them regarding nerves or some other lame excuse.. gets so tiring. If you know you know.

No one is abusing you..... your mind is yours, it will determine who you are.....take control of it, grab it and use it ..... criticising Ricky S is simply your mind playing games on you ..... don't worry about others, just define yourself... I actually believe that you can be a tour player, but that means nothing until you believe it.

Yea man, my stiff neck will eventually go to my back or reverse , back to neck , then i can barely wipe my ass by the end of the day.

refreshingly honest as usual, you were spot on about Rick!
