⭐ THE GOAL
To make golf more fun, more accessible and help you become a better, more confident, happier golfer — whether you’re breaking 100 or trying to break par.
I have never been a fan of the way that Rick walks down his putts. I don't think it's effective at all because Rick has one of the lowest make percentages that I've seen on YouTube regardless of the distance.
I think that people who have had a routine for years are doing it ritualistically and without any thought and all it does is hold up the game.
I golf with people that have a pre-shot routine that is so pointless but yet they do it because they've always done it.
I'm a huge believer in not wasting time nor energy, and you can do this by always actively thinking about the process that you're in and why you're doing it.
This should be the way that we are in every aspect of our lives. If you're checking the mirrors in your car, you're looking to see if other vehicles are in your path or approaching you, there's a purpose. If you're going to church there should be a purpose. If you're turning on the stove there's a purpose.
What I'm saying is big picture You need to be doing things for a reason and not just out of habit. So many people do it and I find it absolutely pointless and a huge waste of time.
Gotta love how the Majesticks, especially Westie and Poulter, keep this guy honest.
This is obviously bullying. The preppy kids picking on the outsider. Don’t listen to them Rick, golf pros know nothing about golf in general and especially putting.
Not showing him putting is just criminal
Rick you should have re-done your walk and gone as slow as possible haha.
Brutal! Love it!
You looked very nervous Rick. 🏌♂️👍
What a fanny
They are 100% right. It’s stupid. It does nothing to help him read a putt. He’s trying to be cool and it ain’t working. Glad they busted him up.
Ain't that the truth…
Imagine being ripped by all them tour pros 🤣
You’ve gone x5
Putting has gone so slow it’s so annoying. I would make this illegal. As well the lines on the balls.
They now read behind the flag, to the side, they do that technic they line up the lines on the ball they go back, look, realign the lines…by then, I’ve changed channel
