Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel! This YouTube channel is designed to help you play better golf, also to help you enjoy your golf more!

I specialise in golf equipment reviews, golf instruction & I play against some of the best golfers in the world!

I also want to make you play better golf by providing coaching video on all topics about golf, how to fix your slice, fix your hook, help you drive the golf ball longer, hit your irons more pure, hit your irons closer to the hole and help you draw and fade your golf shots.

I will also help you lower your score by chipping better by stopping you duff and thin chips, pitch the ball closer and also create backspin. Also I will provide you help to putt better and hole more putts!

[Music] okay so this is something incredibly exciting I’m here just 10 miles from bookham palace in London at a brand new golf course this golf course has never been played until right now I have got the honor to play this golf course for the first ever time the first first ever player so whether I shoot today 72 or 95 I’m going to have the course record after today now this is called the inspiration it is a fantastic modern Lynx Golf Course again just 10 miles from the center of London and I’m here with Kerry who’s one of the directors of the family that own this golf course um now you might have seen kry before if you watch the podcast we actually had a couple of emotional experiences the last couple of years painful ones painful and emot we both ran the London Marathon together I was actually running for Kerri’s uh cancer charity effectively um it’s never you K unfortunately lost his son Hugh to cancer and you’ve set up a charity to help support parents with children with cancer that’s it yeah and you’ve done an amazing job so far so if you’ve seen carer for that’s probably where from but this place what you built a golf course another one well credit goes to me dad he’s done he doesn’t stop so yeah obviously we’ve got the sh first and we got West go C over the road and this is our third one this has been 12 years in the making now and we finally found a design that fits this beautiful bit of land just outside London as you said and um work with Tom McKenzie and eert and they’ve made something special there something that London’s not really seen before um a modern style approach on links and um yeah and the and the naming inspiration is that because it’s been inspired by kind of links design or what’s the what’s the terminology with the the name of the club yeah well when when my dad was designing with um Tom McKenzie I think the idea was that they taken inspiration from all the best link sces that um Tom and Martin have done around and UK and some of them done some fantastic courses and ones that you see on the open rostar and um like London’s never really had a true Lynx field golf course and what we want to do here is put the shapes in the fields and make massive greens and huge bunkers that cover your head in it and that was your idea of it really and something that when you’re tourist comes over to London they don’t have to travel to the seaside to uh Le to experience a links course so there’s some pretty big bunkers out there it’s some big ones big ones and I am the first person you are so there’s no divots on the T box so it is a pure golf course you are so if you shoot 105 is the lowest round ever here and you got on the scoreboard yes well let’s hope it’s good for just for history sake literally at the moment the car Parks being built the clubhouse has been it’s a temporary one at the moment this course opens this Saturday we’re filming this at the end of May um definitely come and play it I’ve not played it yet but I already know it’s going to be awesome kry thanks pal thanks for Honor thanks Rick thanks for coming and uh let’s go R it up going to make some divots on this brand new golf C it’s a par five opening hole just short of 500 yards slightly uphill you can already see the the riveted faces of the bunkers there’s already four of them I can see on this hole um I’m going to stay on the left side of the Fairway is the goal first t- shot feels more feels even more nervous than normal now the good thing is I literally can’t hit it out of bounds [Music] oh I’ve drawn it into the wind get left a bit okay it’s the first Airway missed it’s a little bit in the thick stuff I thought the wind was going to kick it back uh we’re on that Hill shouldn’t be too bad let’s go and find it okay so I decided to come down the 18th hole even though I play in the first uh I’m actually not too far away the pin’s just up on top of the hill uh about 200 10 yards away from here um I don’t know what’s down there I’m just going to put put a going to put 79 back into play and then get up and down from there first divot taken back in play Let’s go and get up and down from there best repair that back now if I would have nailed the drive down the middle this is what i’ would have been facing you got four bunkers down the right side of the hole and if you find the left side of the Fairway it opens up the green nicely but we didn’t quite accomplish that but if you do play it this is where you want to hit it to okay third shot into this first door par five you can actually you won’t be able to pick it up on camera but you can actually see Wembley kind of the top almost crown of Wembley Stadium just to give you a bit of an idea of where we are 82 Ys this pin into Bree loads of room behind the flag so I’m just going to throw in a little 50 deer get there go okay we’re on the green not my best strike but we’re good for looks like we’re pin High got a put for birdie here on the first hole at the inspiration let’s let’s make a birdie on the first hole should be that’d be pretty special okay come on then let’s knock this one in up the hill right to left cannot believe these are brand new greens cuz they look spectacular I’ve not had a practice put practice putting green isn’t built just yet and I didn’t want to disqualify myself if I’m trying to shoot course record let’s knock this one [Music] in do it [Music] I thought that was in oh I absolutely thought that was in Greens that that rolled really nice oh power on the first I’m glad it wasn’t a bogey but it could have been a birdie okay second h a par for down the hill dog leg right you’ve actually got an RAF base in the background there right in the distance that’s where all the the uh planes of royalty come or presidential pet planes at the moment it looks pretty quiet the only missile it’s going to see is this is this drive now here on number two should be good I’m getting a nod from carry it should be good right after um 2 minutes and 59 seconds looking for the golf ball we found it coming over the corner we actually there’s a white spot just there left side of the f way which we thought was the ball it’s not the ball we then thought it’ gone in the guard over it’s not in there we’ve come all the way back and it’s not even it’s only it’s only just go over the corner anyway second shot in I’m just in the kind of obviously this is all brand new so this is this will all be GS bushes I got lucky at the moment 128 yards I will show you a fairway soon uh 128 yards bunker right bunker left I’m just going to go to the big fat chunky P of the green green get there go hop skip jump I didn’t quite catch it a little bit from the toe wow that’s a really cool cool Green Design here at number two I’m just at the front of the green there’s so many undulations going on I feel like chipping it is going to be really unpredictable see it’s a modern Inland Lynx let’s play it the lynxy way oh I’ve not hit it that’s a pretty bad part like I’ve hit everything out the toe so far today not quite hit the middle just yet okay much longer power put than I wanted to on this hole after thinking I’d smash my driver into position a was left short on that Hill bad second shot poor third we got this slippery 20 footer for for par these greens look absolutely phenomenal awesome roll good for Speed just didn’t quite take enough break into account in for five sloppy bogey there I’m afraid made a few few errors few mistakes third hole PA three a stunning looking hole there’s two cheeky little buned on the right hand side and the the pin’s just been popped just behind it looks like there’s loads of room left 175 yards into wind and off the left I’ve really brought the lynxy wind today with me here uh I’m just going to go middle of the green and let the Wind Drift it back to that pin let’s not get too greedy after making a bogey wind oh it’s short I’m not quite striking it that was very very toey again annoyingly got an interesting little chip over that bunker now okay cheeky little chip here from the front of the third green after just not striking that iron yet everything’s been a little bit from the toe oh it grabbed quick I thought I played that really nicely that’s a cool flag the INSP ation Golf Club very nice I like it a lot honestly these greens are magnificent considering the golf course isn’t officially open these greens are absolutely out of this world see we start holding some puts on them oh it didn’t break good put again good for Speed that’s a I don’t know pretty disappointing t-shark to go two over through three the good news is still on trap for Co record okay fourth hole power four up the hill back into wind there is a couple of bunkers down there on the right which are right in my range but I think if I hit three would I’m going to be too far away from my second shot so that’s it driving and hopefully just stay left of those big bunkers funny start so far just it’s it’s a surreal experience playing a golf course for the the first person in the world to play this golf course it’s quite surreal I just want to do it justice and I feel like my strike on the last couple of holes have not been as good as he should be so let’s start finding the middle get a ring string of passs together and let’s see if we can start putting a good score together I forgot to mention at the start actually of the round just to give you a bit of context it’s it’s a pass 72 6,600 yards off the te I’m playing off it’s not super long let’s start finding the middle oh it’s a low think he short stay short stay short okay it’s a fairway finder my strike has been nowhere near yet but we’ll get it okay after a mistru t-shot I’m in position a well B we’ll call it B I’m quite a bit short of these bunkers but I’m in the Fairway 190 yards to the pin into wind we just need to start striking the middle of the club face it’s eluded me so far start try finding the middle making some PA feels like my my arms have got shorter we stretch them out a bit get middle of the green with the four iron come on ball keep drawing go oh I think we’re on the front edge still not quite striking it we’ll get there okay just just off the green here on number four um let’s get a two put from here just up the hill right to left and give it a little bit of a read cannot get how go over how good these greens are go on let’s hold let’s hold a big one Z oh it just got away from me a little bit just got a bit way just kept going just kept rolling little testing one now nice didn’t want to be missing that one did not want to miss that that is a good power on that hole that’s a tough tough tough hole certainly into wind so we’ll take a par every day okay fifth hole Par Four down the hill down wind slightly in fact the wind’s a bit more off the left now 365 yards like a lot of the Hol so far there’s a couple of very well-placed bunkers there’s two almost smack bang in the middle of the Fairway then one down the left if I can just split the F split the bunkers we should be in a good spot should be perfect yep not my best strike again but we are in the Fairway I’ll actually show you a I showed you a fa on the last to be fair I’ll show you the second Fairway of this golf course okay after splitting the Fairway 96 yards to the pin let’s see if we can uh see if we can pick up a birdie get off it wind oh sit sit sit sit sit oh that flew air mailed it downwind it definitely affected it more than I thought not quite sure what happened there I thought I’d hit a good shot I thought I had good yardage and you saw where it landed and it just rolled forever down this hill falling into the left up until the halfway point and once it gets over that Hill it’s actually going to start falling right I’m only being 96 yards away I didn’t want this long put for birdie go I think that wind is just playing a lot more into it than I thought I think it’s stronger than I’m giving it credit for really want this one to drop oh making it hard work but we’ll take that for a par that’s a really really interesting green makes you think it’s not just straightforward from 96 yards you cannot miss in the wrong spot I needed to be in here short left of the pin okay we Salvage a par we move on okay six hole par three gorgeous looking hole I think it’s the only maybe this another hole has got water hazards uh because they’re so close to the RF base they can’t actually have too many water hazards because of obviously Birds you don’t want too many gold too many birds near a RAF base s a par 3 150 yards playing 143 today but back into wind there’s a bunker just short right in line with the flag and appar there’s a bunker right in line but over the flag as well so I’m going to hit an a tin and just try and flight it down and just go right hand side of the pin like I need to play this a little bit more sensibly and see if we can uh give ourselves some better chances for birdie bit of [Music] distance should be pretty good sorry I’ve taken a divot out your brand new te oh nice we’ll take that it’s a bit more like it took a really nice shot into this par 36 it’s just rolled out to here right nice little uphill put for birdie come on let’s make let’s make the first birdie here at inspiration this has to go in it’s written in the [Laughter] stars that was such a good thought I can’t that I thought that caught enough of the hole to go in oh big opportunity slips by big opportunity oh really thought I had that one then we’ll have to wait for the first birdie I thought that was the time I really did damn okay 7th old par 4 it’s actually a dog leg to the left you can see the flag over there but you can’t go directly for it because it’s all Wasteland and trees and a bit of a kind of Ravine so I’m G have to hit the Fairway on the right hand side then pitch it over hit three iron little bullet three iron should leave myself 100 yards left in oh that was a big chance missed on the last it’s a real big chance great iron shot good put as well really good put got to take the positives trying to get back to level par as quick as I can cuz I feel like those couple of Bogies were just silly little mistakes let’s get back to level par and then we can try and post a good score that’ll work exactly how I drew it up I could have actually hit three-wood further down there but there’s no massive Advantage I’ve left myself 124 yards left into that back left pin um just got to hit the number we’ve got to get this one close bit of distance get there go oh half a yard short oh I didn’t quite strike it and I said that a few times today but I just didn’t and I was I was worried about what the wind was going to do thought the wind was going to like push it oh half a yard more and that could have been phenomenal to be honest I actually think we’ve got a good look at just off the green but we’ve got a good look for birdie at least oh just half a yard I mean landed there if it would have hopped here I think it would have taken a big jump and got really close but never mind just off the green it doesn’t massively matter that I’m just off the Green in fact I’m that confident I’m going to take the flag out slightly down here left downhill there and moving left it’s slightly moving left most of the way come on then Shields let’s not one in for birdie oh I’ve not hit it a I knew as soon as that came it’s done well to get there as soon as it came off the face I knew I had hit it hard enough greens are just so good as soon as you get the ball rolling you just know it’s going to be in right still two over through seven five passs two bogies no birdies yet eighth hole mother Par 3 real real bar forget the backd drop background just imagine for a minute that’s the ocean very lynxy looking hole you got four pot bunkers down the right hand side actually let me just have a quick look if there’s any on the left I could ask car his dad but no there’s four pot bunkers down the right hand side pins tucked at the front right corner it’s downwind playing 14 48 yards and this is where just to give a bit of an indication of the wind the six hole the par three which was 143 Ys I hit an A Time pin High cuz it was into wind this holds 148 yards and I think 99 is going to be too much so I’m going to just take a little bit off a 9on but I’ve got to hit it in the middle not I’m not felt a satisfying strike just yet today let’s hope it’s right now oh powered it sit down sit down sit down Sit oh I just felt like it was too much Club all the time and it came out really low flighted should have it pitching wedge okay I’m absolutely miles away from the hole um just saying there so interesting the front of that green I thought that bunker was right the front of the Green in fact it was 15 yard short I could have easily pitching wedge surprisingly even though I’m miles away this is a very flat put it’s flat in terms of up and down it’s flat in terms of left to right so I’m pretty much just going to go straight at it and try and get the speed spot on hit the flag God thought I had it I thought I knew it was flat I knew it was straight I just hit it a little tiny bit too hard and then it just skirted past the flag very nice pure roll in for a three onto the ninth okay ninth hole is a is my type of high five is one way you can proper open your shoulders up there’s no huge trouble bar a couple of bunkers that might catch you out it’s going to hit a really solid driver let’s find the Fairway have that that will play I tell you what it’s quite close to a bunker actually okay second shot is par five after ripping it onto the Fairway I’m 250 Ys to the pin pin looks like it’s back right I’m get a little choppy 3-wood in there see if get it to hold the green which downwind you see so I don’t want to I don’t need to hit this full smash cut cut cut cut cut oh it’s hit so well but it’s not caught don’t go long oh it’s got a bit of a nasty bounce off the left side but should be okay ah I just needed to keep cutting okay after not a bad three three-wood shot to be honest I just hit that bank there and it’s rolled back down into this little runoff area uh can just see the top of the flag it’s into wind oh we like that we like that everybody we got a little kick in for a birdie come on first birdie ninth hole let’s go had a good chance on six just slipped by put on the last that nearly hit the flag and dropped but this is the first clearcut chance to get to one over through the front nine which not overly disappointed with and for the first birdie of this golf [Music] course oh Ricky Shields well it’s the shortest put missed on this golf course so far I H it was just no convi oh that hurts that hurts a lot you know what it’s cuz I’ve marked myself down for a four already before even getting it in the hole fool we just need to we just need to look just look at the positives of that front nine I just shot a course record for the front nine should have been one better but anyway it could have been worse could have been better two over I think it’s fair to be honest um we are now faced with a drivable par 4 260 yards thought i’ do anything Reckless going go with a three-wood I think three-wood will get me there just maybe front edge let’s see if we can get this round back to level par be good sit sit sit might have just just rolled off the back of the green it was a good hit it was absolutely on it I think it’s landed on the front and just kept going over the back of the green okay so it’s just just ran through the back here as you can see a great t- shot thred Into the Heart of the green and it’s just run on it been nice if it just fell one yard shorter so I could have put it from there but I am going to have to chip it just from this little fringy area oh it came out so soft oh it just like popped out like a like it was like a like a sponge anyway it’s going that that one in a no oh I just knew as soon as I hit it I knew as soon as I hit it I just didn’t quite catch the middle oh two big chances there on nine and 10 for birdies I should be about to level par now but I’m not I’m too over that was my chance I could have easily birded nine and 10 there and got back to level we keep knocking we keep trying this first birdie still eludes me at the moment I’m just hop I’m hoping and praying that I don’t regret those last two holes that missed opportunity on n and that fairly straightforward opportunity to make birdie there but anyway we’ll keep pushing on part five now another chance looks like right is dead left is your friend there’s a couple of bunkers out there that we want to avoid I’m going to hit at that bunker on the left and just let the wind bring it back a little bit [Music] stay away from all the [Music] bunkers and we should be in the Fairway okay after a a good drive found the Fairway it wasn’t the longest drive so I’m 280 yards away left from the pin on this par 5 11th there’s a scattering of bunkers I can at least visually see five I can at least visually see six um to the right hand side of those bunkers there’s like a little Fairway but to get to that I’m going to have to hit like a 230 240 yard shot so I think I’m just going to I’m going to lay up stay short of those bunkers then leave myself like a nice Sand Wedge left in into this wind I’m just getting a nice five iron oh it’s not a good strike but it’s a good result yeah it wasn’t my best connection but we’re in a good spot okay I’ve left myself 96 yards into wind pin looks like it’s on that back tier I don’t want the ball to spin too much so I’m going to hit 100 yard shot and just take off the spin come on let’s put one close spin a bit should be really really good should be really good right come on then Third Time Lucky that was a nice shot nice little flighted 50° wedge in there drop and stop left us with this little right to left it’s still got a bit of break in this to be fair certainly not a gimme like the ninth hole if we’re going to get this round back to level par the birdie needs to drop quickly I can’t buy a p that was a great pot it was a good pot it literally just didn’t somehow drop in oh Ricky Ricky Ricky cannot go around this golf course and not make a birdie today I’ve got three phenomenal chances in the last three holes and all three of them have slipped by and we running out of time we keep knocking at that door we keep knocking everybody we keep getting it slammed in our face that that was a good put on that last all as well right anyway still two over I made nine PS and two Bogies no birdies three off the te just for position just left that bunker oh wind help it a bit wind help it a bit yeah hopefully short of that big bunker not where I was going for but should be fine okay so I have found the first bunker of the round I tried to hit three to avoid this bunker but with it being a bit down breeze it’s found it 136 yards away I’m going to go with pitching wedge get up go sit oh sit I think we’re putting ladies and Gentlemen Just but I think we’re putting right could this be the first birdie I’m going to stop saying it it’s pretty straight slightly off the right just ever slightly Fallen left but not a lot and it’s going to be downhill so going to be fairly fast this green looks the best condition out of and the greens have been amazing but this green looks the best condition out of all of them this is spectacular now that I’ve praised the green will it return the favor such a good roll I really felt like it was going to go left at the end ah it’s a good roll again in for a par 13th hole par three3 32 Ys to the pin the pin’s very much at the front there’s a stream that’s just running to the right and at the front of the green and a little cheeky bunker at the front as well I’m going to hit a 9 just cuz I’m playing back into wind and see if we can fly it over that flag and get it to stop wind oh no it’s gone right it’s gone left sorry kick right somehow oh it’s stuck on that hill Oh it’s a good good strike as well I feel a little bit bad taking a a nice divot out this perfectly manicure tea oh it’s funny from the tea this green look tiny but when you get up here it’s massive um wow I’m not entirely sure how to get this close I think my best bet is to land it on the green anything short it’s going to hit here and just shoot across the green I’ve got to land it here for a chance of it going close sit I can’t be overly disappointed with that I don’t know what more I could have done to be honest with to get that close let’s just hit a firm confident put and knock this one in I can hold them for P I just got hold them for birdie okay remain two over that was a good up and down from there to be fair okay 14th hole Par Four 335 yards from this te um it’s good all this cuz the bunker right to catch like a three iron shot off this te there’s a bunker left that could catch three wood and there’s another bunker that could catch driver so it’s a driver and just hope for the best carry everything think it’s it’s okay you say all right it’s all right wasn’t where I was meaning to with it but okay really good drive I didn’t exactly mean to go this way to the hole but happy with the result okay come on 60 yards green light slightly into Breeze she got a little Bank I’ve got to carry it over and let’s stick this one close be nice spin oh landed it exactly on 60 need a a few yards shorter oh that was I thought that was all over it then and just rolled on a few extra yards was hoping it would slam on the brakes a bit quicker cuz it was into wind however at the risk of sounding like a broken record another chance for the first birdie here the one of them’s got a drop I need to imagine it’s a parp and not a birdie put Wy is not a lot in this oh such a good P again I don’t actually know how it’s how it’s finished so far to the right we the quest for a birdie will continue 12 pars two Bogies no birdies to overpar okay four holes to play the 15th is long Par Four dog like left it’s kind of this is the Fairway then you go over a bit of a Ravine and then there’s the green over the other side 420 yards come on four four more holes to get a birdie is what I’m also thinking not my best strike but it’s making the hole a little bit longer the further it’s going right ah weak didn’t want to go left and I kind of bailed out a little bit it’s okay okay second shot into 15 I bailed out a little bit too far right a really good bomb drive into the bottom part of the Fairway would make this hole considerably easier I’m 175 yards away into the roof here into wind I’m going to hit a five iron and just just I’m just going to go left to that flag anywhere on the green I’ll be happy oh it’s a bit too left get down oh whoa damn right going to have to get up and down from the thick stuff right Shield there this was a big miss this was a big Miss to be honest this all got set up by a poor t- shot bad t- shot left myself too much in I want to stay left of that pin and I did do that but too far left and I’ve got this treacherous Pitch Out The Deep stuff luckily got loads of green to work with ah it okay bit of a hack out of that real deep stuff and it’s just ran through to this side of the green the only thing just the grass is running into the bo a little bit annoyingly so I need to I need to catch ball first H big mistake big mistake tried to be a bit too cute on it okay bogey put now from nowhere first bogey on the scorecard since the third third hole and this is just to keep it as a bogey feels like whenever have a bad hole it starts [Laughter] raining ah six on the card ah could have done without that just a few small errors mounted up to a double bogey four over now that’s frustrating okay that last all stung a little bit played some steady golf so far today nothing special but steady and then to make double bogey there really hurts anyway 15 16th to power four dog leg right just got to hit a good drive how’s that done that okay might have to we provisional there that one’s in trouble oh inevitable going left oh little bit of sloppy golf on the last few holes okay cracking hole and I feel like I’ve not done at any service at all after hit my first one into the trees over there I pull my second one on my my provisional ball which is now in play over here to the left I’m 175 yards away back into Breeze I’m going to fire a five IR at it and it’s just gone really really Grim the sun the sun has gone somehow get there ball go oh so close to being perfect so close Okay that wasn’t a bad shot from up on that side of that Hill there but just hit this up slope and killed it at the front of the green now this is for bogey though to avoid going back to back double Bogies which would be disastrous for the scorecard this has to drop in oh it’s going to slip right sit that’s it oh made these last few holes hard work I’m afraid Rick Ricky Ricky Ricky it’s right on the edge when it rains it PS ah well I’m the first player to Triple bogy that hole two to play and now somehow seven over par oh what a game of golf eh okay two holes to play what a what a horrendous last two holes I’ve just had double and a triple from nowhere really gol right bir bir finish 17th hole power four up the hill 465 yards now somewhat that number is irrelevant because it all depends on where the pin is this green is 70 yards long from front to back so it’s going to be a driver off the tea and then think crossed we have a good yardage left into the pin hopefully it’s not at the back should be good should be good fingers crossed it misses that bunker on the right but we should be in a good spot there 200 yards jeez i’ actually got this little mound in front of me as well which I need to get over so I’m going to hit five I and hopefully get it high enough keep going well I think we’re on the green whether we pin high or not who knows we might have a long put we might have a very long put so this is the start of the green and it goes all the way back there and I’ve actually I have finished pin High which I’m very happy with look at the size of this I mean it’s unbelievable huge I need to find my pitch mark okay down the hill left to right oh it’s such a good roll again I think so I feel like I’ve hit a lot of good puts today but they’ve just not quite been good enough in for pass A7 over half the birdie or even Eagle the last it’s been a cracking round I’ve really enjoyed it really have I’d like to have played 16 and 15 and 16 again but that’s golf okay last hole here at inspiration it’s been I’ve really really really enjoyed it for a brand new golf course and the pleasure of playing it first or be like I said I wish I could play 15 and 16 again just a couple of bad shots but listen it’s been some solid golf we need to cap it off with a birdie we really do these guys have been fantastic K and his dad have designed an unbelievable golf course if you are in London come and play here 10 miles from bookham Palace I mean it’s it’s really really really cool golf course fun challenging interesting in great condition the greens are honestly out of this world the greens are out of this world right however they’ve not given me a birdie yet until now 535 yards slightly down Breeze there’s a bunker at the distance I’m going to smash it straight out that’ll work okay after a great drive here on 18 I’m 240 yards away it’s a huge bunker on the right hand side which 50 yards short of the green I’ve got to get it over that face it down get it on the green two put for a birdie come on I have to make birdie here today I have to this is where I do it I’ve got I’m in between three wood and three iron I think three iron is going to be a big one but three Wood’s going to be too much I’m going to Rattle a three iron get it chasing oh I’ve drawn it too much it’s going to be level with the green but it’s gone a bit too far left it’s going to require a good up and down from there what could have been this round of golf eh what could have been some good stuff in there just two two bad holes and maybe four or five bad shots has cost me really an underpar around the golf today um but a real honor to play here the first person in the world to play this golf course really was I’m just I’ll be gutted if I don’t make birdie we’ve now got to get up and down to make birdie right third shot into this par five um I’ve left with a a little dicey one here I’ve got to be confident enough to get it on top of the hill if it’s not it’s back down into this Valley I’m just in the rough I’ve got to get up and down to make the first birdie of the [Laughter] day and that ain’t perfect oh Rick dam for a second I thought the first birdie was going to come like that we’ll take a p not my finest effort in the end lots of some well lots of really good holes to be honest I made lots and lots and lots of paths today just two holes let me down six 15 and 16 but that is golf inspiration course record 79 definitely can be beaten I could easily beat it not a problem come and play here it’s definitely worth it unbelievable Golf Course really good

  1. Played the 9 hole course over the road a few times while I've been working down that way that's a cracking little course with some superb views over London, saw this place under construction I'll definitely give it a go next time I'm working away

  2. I think with some more forgiving iorns, at least in the top of the bag, and maybe driver you'd see your score quite a bit better. Great video

  3. Looks a pretty good course. Unfortunately it's yet ANOTHER course the average person won't be afford to play. £90 per person is just crazy.

  4. 0:18 c'mon, no need to fabricate. you can say it's not open to the public but there's not a chance noone has played there.

  5. Rick, no offence, but you could’ve brought a Pro player along – that might’ve helped the new course get established if record was set by a pro name

  6. It is only 10 minutes from me and would love to visit but it's membership only to play it from the website. Would be great that for month or so they did a cheeky Shiels special to experience a fantastic looking course. Limiting it to members means sadly the only experience we will get is through Rick. We keep saying golf is accessible to all but only when it comes to picking up clubs. Courses is a different matter.

  7. Nice course, you are persevering with the driver, but it doesn’t seem to help your game. Enjoyed the video hope you had fun. Golf is a game of unachievable goals😎

  8. It’s an absolutely beautiful golf course. It’s gonna take a miracle to get a tee time when they open up.👍🏼👍🏼

  9. It’s an absolutely beautiful golf course. It’s gonna take a miracle to get a tee time when they open up. How much are the green fees gonna be ?

  10. Rick set up the perfect excuse for all the birdie misses, not allowed to have many birdies out near the RAF bases

  11. Missing a birdie shot from that distance. I feel you bro. I feel you 🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻
