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!

All right guys here in Orlando Florida playing somewhere very special today Lake Nona Golf and Country Club this is an incredible Golf Course possibly the most beautiful golf course I’ve seen and hopefully share with you guys as well it’s been about 5 years since I played here last there are videos out on

YouTube actually been playing here many many years ago but today we’re going to see if we can get out there and break 75 I’m excited I mean this place looks in incredible Immaculate condition now late known as a home of many T Pros we were

Trying to lock in a match with a tour pro and I’d like to say they were all Running Scared the fact was They’re all playing in the tournament elsewhere so we couldn’t quite um hook a tour pro up this week so I’m playing on my own playing solo first te power four slight

Dog leg right wind off the left let’s play ball let’s rip it up here at the Glorious late Nona a tiny bit up the right but actually should be fine down there little bit of a nervy first t- shot don’t want to go left we’re in a

Good spot okay let’s go late NOA uh I’m playing off the B te actually which is 7,200 Y past 72 so it’s not going to be an easy feat to break 7 uh 75 round here today but the game’s been going well the game’s been trending I’ve definitely

Been hitting more golf balls than ever recently um I just need to navigate my way around the greens because I know at this golf course the greens can be very very tricky very fast very undulating that’s where I’m going to uh need to really perform some good shots

Today um I mean it’s just it is immaculate I think I’ve seen my ball i’ look like I’m just in the uh just in the rof between the cart path and the bunk buker we’ve got a shot of the green that’s the good thing we got a

Shot of the green okay so just finished in between the bunker and the cart path up the right hand side here as you can see there’s some beautiful houses up the left so I wanted to stay away from those 149 yards got a pitching wedging hand

Because it might just jump out this roof and also have slightly downwind let’s just finding greens is essential around here let’s do that right now got a nice kick right got a nice kick right oh it looks like it’s gone big oh looks like it’s gone bigger a little bit

Left I really fancied hitting the green there that’s a bit of a loose one there came out hot for a pitching wedge it really did just a quick one by the way just appreciate how nice these golf boogies are I mean look at the seating nice late Nona logo in the

Middle it’s one of the best golf boogies I’ve ever seen wet Tower wo tell you what you know you’re somewhere nice when you’ve got all those touches okay so I didn’t end up in the bunker but I kind of wish I had because this golf ball around the green here the

Greens are you know the roof’s long and that has buried its feet right into the bottom of the grass there Green’s running away from me going to have to be delicate here oh that’s to be delicate ah please stop golf ball welcome to the light Nona damn actually really I I probably

Didn’t use enough Loft I brought my 56 over where I probably I should have brought my 60 put your brakes on that’s not bad that’s not bad a little bit longer than I wanted still but pretty good for Speed okay it’s a five little bit of a scrappy one there

By the way just appreciate how nice that flag is that’s blowing the wrong way simple but really nice let NOA logo number one gorgeous right one over through one slight misjudge there on the chip from the side of the green but listen it’s not the first time and it won’t be the

Last time I bogy the first second o power five 565 yards let’s get bit of bounce back ability so I’ve got the Cobra dark speed LS driver in the bag currently I’ve been in enjoying hitting this I just need to feel my swing feel like my swing just needs to get a little

Bit more kind of kicking out here on the way down just get me a little bit more outside if I can get that feeling we can find some Fairways come back in it’s doing its best it’s doing its best okay that’s not bad that’s not bad okay 280

Yards wind’s definitely helping a little bit waterers front and to the right anything leaking right is going to be dead so I think my best bet making birdies currently has been laying that’s at 100 yard Mark and trying to pitch it in from there so that’s the plan we’re

Going to go for hit a little 7 IR down there and leave myself a full shot in that’s a great strike if I do say so myself that was a good one right should have left myself a good range in there how good does this place look it’s

Absolutely awesome just a nice nice little gap wedge one hop and stop wind get up ball don’t spin yeah it wasn’t a million miles what I was trying to do there it just leaked I I slightly pulled it the wind helped me and it just needed to carry another

Five yards further we got put for birdie though I actually pitched pin High I thought it was a bit short a pin High not a terrible shot to be honest going to leave a 12 footer or so just I just needed to throw it past the flag

That a little bit more come on let’s open the birdie account nice and early this is going to be a a golf course today where I’m going to make Bogies as you saw in the first so I need to need to make a handful of birdies need to take every opportunity I

Can left to right it’s going to be fast I got scared by the speed oh I should have gone much higher up the hill infra PA yeah I should have I could have hit a slightly better wed shot in and that put needed to go a little bit

More up the hill one over through two not the end of the not the end of the world yeah easy to start 55 round here um would have lik to 54 but never mind power four coming up next which is actually on the scorecard here off the

Blacks which is the te I’m playing off today is the hardest golf is the hardest hole in the golf course best hit a good one third hole power four long one back into the wind a little bit good drive needed come on let’s find the Fairway stay away from those bunkers CU

That’s going to make it hard it actually might have stayed short of him it’s going to be a long second shot though okay I’m actually in the bunker I thought it’ stayed short of it but I’ve found it’s quite a slim bunker as well annoyingly and I’ve managed to just find

It 25 yards away from the flag luckily I’ve got loads of room to get over the lip uh there’s only really trouble up the right so I’m just going to see if we can rifle the for iron it’s going to it’s going to be an unbel believable strike to get on the

Green oh it’s got to get there it’s gone high up in the air get up ball oh yeah I tell you what was an interesting one that I actually struck that good it just kind of went up instead of forward but always difficult trying to hit a four iron out the bunker

I’ve left myself a little 30 yard chit which might be precarious but let’s see if we can get up and down from there sand is pure I mean you’ll hear me say it a million times this video this golf course is pure the condition is absolutely incredible just pulled up a little bit

Short here after that bunker shot lots of green to work with though not much to get over Sand Wedge in hand it hard it’s beenin that’s actually a really nice pitch I’ve just pulled it a fraction perfect for distance and had loads of spin on it okay longer than I wanted however

People know watching my channel that’s not my favorite shot in the world so that’s that’s positive signs I hit that one nicely okay that was nice that was a positive pitch felt really good perfect for distance just like just pulled it a smidge but got to take the positives

There did everything but hit it online okay come on this would be a real bonus par out of position off the T short The Greening two nice pitch up big sloping left to right similar to the last put really but this time it’s much more downhill just going to give it a little

Bit more down the left oh when why did I move it left I had the line and I and I questioned it that last put on the last screen made me think I’m not reading them enough oh I reckon I had the line if I trusted

It okay five on the cards that started with three fives I say not the greatest start in the world but could be worse this course can really chew you up my goal I’ve got a few goals today to keep double Bogies off the scorecard and to have I’m going

To say four birdies that would been my goal today you know the first three holes on in on reflection are actually pretty challenging um these next three got a long path three a short drivable par 4 and then from memory another a short par three um this is 199 yards but

Playing straight down wind so I’m going to hit seven iron try and land at about 185 and I think it’ll hop all the way to the back of the green there’s no reward for being long on this hole get back there get back there that’s really nice that’s really

Nice that was easy to go long on that club on that hole I could have hit six iron thinking going for the distance but I’m glad I Club down went for seven middle of the green ran it up there we’ve got a nice look but birdie here on

Number four a very hard par three hardest I’ve ever played that was a nice shot really nice good control almost exactly how I wanted to hit it really and we’ve put ourselves pin high with a real nice look at birdie here come on like I say I want

To make no double Bogies today keep those off the scorecard which is not going to be easy around here and uh I want to make four birdies and this one is a really really good looking a chance of making birdie come on cannot let these slip oh that

Was nice as I’ve got up here it’s looking better and better kind of pitched here I mean it’s a huge green it pitched here and then ran up onto that top tier come on Rick got to trust my reads today I didn’t on the last hole

And that hurt me up the hill outside the cup that’s nice that that’s a nice to oh yeah that’s a nice to not an easy hole that seven iron nice put trust the trust the read in fact um filmed a coaching video with Tommy Fleetwood check it out if you’ve

Not already it’s really good and I I used a bit of technique there that Tommy mentioned in his video I’m going to try and keep that going for the rest of round all about pre-shot routine all right back to one over fifth home now the times I’ve

Played here before I’ve gone off the kind of members teas or such and this hole is somewhat drivable off this tea I don’t think it is well it’s not it’s 316 to the pin however I still think it’s driver not at the flag I’m just going to go

Down that left hand side Leave myself in the Fairway put myself in a kind of I don’t know a 90 yard pitching Zone and then make go up and down from there oh pulled it that’s going to be okay but jeez a long way into that flag oh I’ve not gone

The shortcut I have gone well and through the long route ah made a very easy hole now potentially very hard okay we’ve got an interesting one after bad Drive really shouldn’t have pulled it left but obviously it was always back of my mind bit of water the right I found myself in

The pine needles and I’ve got a tree blocking my follow through 135 yards out I’m going to try and kind of punch a nine iron and just really restrict my follow through I’ll have to otherwise I’m going to I’m going to potentially break my

Club if I go that way a little bit I probably got a little bit more room not a lot okay going to have to be a good strike into win so knocking down down a 99 is not a bad shot at all draw draw draw God that was close oh that was

Close it needed it needed to be five yards further left or just draw a fraction and that would have that would have been perfect for distance oh that’s a shame that’s a shame this ain’t great could lie again okay uh interesting lie again off the side of

The green here not annoyingly that was so close to being good but anyway got to get up and down from here this would be a waste if I didn’t par this one it’s an e one of the much easier holes around this golf course just got to pop it up on top of

The bank set set they’re kind of coming out better than I expected the first and that one both come out nicer than what I’m anticipating I’m expecting that to come out a little bit dead Okay testing a little power put here just going to fall off the left side wow

Wow that caught so much of the hole not to have gone in WoW honestly that I thought that felt like it caught 90% of the cup and didn’t drop in oh my goodness that’s harsh that’s really harsh that would have been a hell of a save

A I can’t believe I actually didn’t go in I didn’t think it was going too fast so that Tommy Fleet with a little putting tips helping Oh I thought that was going to go in then right anyway very feel like level path through those two holes is fair but I’ve just

Done it the way around I’ve bogy birded the hard hole and bogy the easy hole okay another path three coming up it’s a long one off these B te’s 206 yards right between five and six iron on the other par three a couple of holes ago I

Was playing very much downwind this is now more cross wind we going to go five iron travel oh I got off it wind either bunker or short feel like it was it started to fade then it then the wind hit it and it was just a little bit too high up in the

Air okay not my finest shot there I feel like I just maybe just caught it a touch heavy off the tea I’ve come up a good 10 15 yards short of this green not too hard of a chip though up the hill just out the roof travel oh it came out so

Lovely I’m used to thinning them a little bit I’m used to catching them a little bit thin that came out so lovely work to do to make p last couple of holes haven’t been my finest cannot cannot afford to do that round here at Lake Nona certainly off the B teas it did

Move it did move not by a lot but it did move yeah two Bogies there the last two holes kind of on not not a huge mistake being made yet I’m pumping Bogies on the scorecard three over now sth hole Par Four uh another cracking looking hole obviously

Can see water front water right but there’s plenty of room down the left good drive away and it’s really just a short iron into the green good drive yeah nice solid Drive exactly what we needed down this hole still not quite feeling right with the driver yet that one was

Better um it’s been interesting I’ve been doing a little bit of speed training um so that’s helped and I feel it’s just now synchronizing everything up sometimes my club feels like it’s coming down faster but it’s getting stuck a little bit behind me so I’m hitting kind of big rights or over hooks

Left that one was better just got to keep remembering what that one is like okay 144 yards to the flag good driving the Fairway let’s do something good from here let’s stick it close putting feels good last few holes just need to give ourselves more

Chances I’m just going to hit a a nice 99 it’s not going to be a full one wind’s just a little bit off the right so I want to left hand side of that flag ideally come on let’s stick one close stop moving it wind that might be half a club to not

Enough ah I think I just overturned it and I took too much off it I thought no it’s probably a little bit into Breeze actually I didn’t quite anti anticipate for I need to put it close from there you won’t believe this I actually got it in the

Hole it actually has gone in the hole however the wrong hole that’s what she said it’s finished here in the drain just to the front left of this pin it’s pitched here on the front of the green like I said I’m a good half a club short if not even a

Full club and it’s finished in that little drain so I can take a obviously free relief from there no near the hole okay all right it’s still a makeable pot this is still a makeable pot four left four left four left oh speed again brilliant I’m not overthinking my

Putting today which is nice I I just felt like I was gonna move more to the left okay no harm done with a power on the card but we’re three over through seven I feel like at least one more B one Birdie on the front nine is required eighth hole another goodlooking

PA four it’s slight dog legs to the right wind’s coming off the right as well so probably a nice little little fade down here would be perfect going to hit driver um similar if I hit the same t-shot as the last ho I’d be delighted so let’s try and find that

Again not too much cut wind push it back wind push it back that’s going to be perfect as long as it’s not kick too far right it’s on the right side of the Fairway or slight right roof should be good little bit too much fade but not bad oh

Oh not quite as perfect as I thought I was kind of kind of thought I’d got to this point but even that’s still not great I need to be on left hand side and blocks out here quite heavily blocked out as well might depends on the yardage

I might just be able to pop it over that tree if not I’m going to have to go low and really try and fade one I have to hit one low and Chase it up and have to like cut cut uh six High maybe play a little chippy cut six ey

And see if I can chase it land it on the front and then Chase it on the green somehow never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d cut that too much never in my wildest dreams I’ve managed to fade it and cut it into the green side bunker on the

Right it was so close to Perfection I can’t even see that bunker from here never did I think I was going to cut it too far I still can’t quite believe I cut that too far two yards to the left and that honestly would have been perfect anyway

We found the bunker got to get up and down from here do not want to make any more Bogies sit not her ous it’s a difficult bunker shot from that range still a bit far from where I want it to be car I still can’t believe that Chi from the

Trees would have be absolute this is the P I should have had for birdie phenomenal par I’m going to I’m going to say that for phenomenal PA it really was I feel like I’ve got something in this putting at the moment it’s giving me a new bit of

Confidence oh not a great t- shot almost a perfect recovery so close caught the bunker not a bad bunker shot great put chop me down for a four please okay three over still par five coming up next ninth hole par five five 134 yards straight back into Breeze I’d really

Like to finish this front line with a birdie just going to go straight over the t- markers in front of me let’s absolutely rifle a dead strike drive it’s right in the middle nice go ball yeah really nice took a few good hop skips and jumps that should be in Prime position

Okay I’m 266 yards away from the flag it’s absolutely straight back into wind I’m in a perfect spot on The Fairway I’ve got three options option one which has been fairly successful recently is to lay up to 100 yards I feel like that’s my range at the moment um the

Only slight concern I have with that one is that my third shot is going to be into a very fast spinning green into wind that’s going to be hard to control so that’s option one option two is to hit three wood hasn’t been my best friend at the moment

And I’ve I’ve had a tendency of hitting that a long way left it looks like it’s trouble down the left the last option is to go with driver cuz it’s really really really into wind as you can see one of the cameras uh camera guys Hat’s just

Falling off that’s about 130 yards down there so with that being said I think there only one vble option I’ve yet to have a three on the front nine let this be it let this be the whole I get one oh no I pulled it oh no I really fancied that as well

That’s a shame I’ve got a bunker to get over I’m going to zap it cuz I’m been a bit more fond of knowing the yardage recently on these shot so 50 5 yards just out the roof into wind a little half little chip half little pitch get it on the green see we

Make Birdie on this ninth hole go sit sit not perfect but listen you know if you’ve been watching the channel for a while that that’s a pretty good result for me it’s getting there glimpses of Hope promise confidence starting to bleed through me so we got a nice look for birdy here

Okay birdie put here on number nine would I have got closer with a gat wedge full swing pro probably not to be honest with you so I’m quite happy with my choice there it’s a slight sloping one to the left I really feel like my putting boots have been good today it’s absolutely

Glorious it’s wonderful really is really there’s something that’s some that’s feeling nice that’s feeling really good trusting my reads putting a good stroke on it we make birdie you know what considering that’s say it’s not been my greatest front nine ever four Bogies two birdies two overpar I would take that every

Day two over through nine here at Lake Nona yeah pleased with that okay 10 Back N here at late NOA um Power 4 the wind’s helping us now I’m just going to just going to Bass Run confidence is high let’s see if we can keep it going sit down Sit yeah that’s

Okay that’s okay just up the left but happy with that okay just in the left roof 168 yards wind pounding from behind this is just a really kind of little chip of an of an eight iron I’m going to stay left of that PIN to give

Myself I feel like anything on the green at the moment I’ve got a chance of holding it so mates going to hit a full 99 I think that’s going to be a bit a bit fiddly trying to hit a soft eight oh Rick hold it now I was saying a second ago anything

On the green I feel like I’m going to hold it I’ve got a funny feeling I’m not going to hold that one that’s about 60 ft away if not further ah just pulled it a touch yeah game that just got that little at the moment not well a bit of a two-way miss

It feels like I’m not quite fully dialed in myons all my driver fully yet my short game actually feels better so one day you get your driving right then your putting goes next thing you get your putting right and your driving goes one day all of it will click

Together I promise you on this video on this channel sh say all of it will click together and you’re going to see a record-breaking score I know it’s in there I just need to find it okay longest put I’ve had so far today without question uh two put from here would be

Pretty good have a good read of this cuz it’s going to be a a real testing one it’s going to kick to the right early and as it gets up and over this hill it’s actually going to kick a little bit to the left

Not hit it not hit it go go go go go I tell you what I tell you what overall I had the line perfect then it was just starting to come back in from the from the right hand side moving left overall that would have been a very good

Read just didn’t quite strike it well enough and therefore it’s come a few feet short come on no mishaps on the 10 tole here lovely stroke really enjoying putting today it’s not been like that recently it really hasn’t today I’m really enjoying the flat stick okay two over through

10 very much kind of on track for breaking 75 off the back teas here at late no and it’s not easy but so far we’re doing a pretty good job come on let’s keep it going 11th hole par five good t-shot requires it’s kind of like

A cell phone tower as you’d call it in the states far in the distance mobile phone tower in the distance so straight at that and then it kind of it’s a hole that dog legs to the left it’s downhill from there so bit of a rocket Drive

Needed to get a chance on to get on in that works nicely yeah that works very nicely right side of the Fairway good spot long way away from this par five as much as I found the Fairway I didn’t strike that driver that well uh and

Again play off the bat you’ve got to hit it You’ got to hit it so pure I’m going to go my old fashioned way of making Birdie on par FIV knock it down there to 100 yards and try and get up and down pin is as far left as we can go so

Really I’ve got to be putting on the right side of the Fairway give myself a a full shot in not getting blocked out by those trees it’s beautiful that was really nice right 97 yards we like this number um the only only slight issue I’ve got it’s not really an issue pin’s just

Very much back in that corar and I feel like if I go full Sand Wedge which I normally hit from this range it’s going to spin potentially too much off the green so I’m going to chip almost like a half swing chip with a gap wedge come on nice bird

Here keep getting them at the moment okay that was a bit of a mistake from 97 yards just slightly trunked it put it in this Fringe section at the front of the green lots of green to work with thank thankfully it’s been coming out hot out

Of this stuff all day so not quite as much speed needed go on very nice I feel like I’ve I’ve learned well on the couple of shots I’ve hit from that thick stuff I’m expecting it to come out dead and they come out almost quite hot okay come on

Rick the putting has been hot all day long very nice Salvage the par after a good up and down there good good drive really nice second terrible third good fourth nice p in for par still two over through 11 12 to power for slight dog

Leg left want to just take it over the corner of these trees and just finish it short of those bunkers I really want to just find a pure driver strike today still don’t feel like I’ve really found that middle of the driver yet oh closer get good yeah that’s nice

Now that’s actually a really good drive okay after after an Absolut awesome Drive left myself 104 yards let’s do better than the last hole Gap wedging hand straight down wind pinned at the back in fact if it’s straight down wind why why we not in my sand

Wedge I kind of need the ball to stop straight down wind be nice sit down Sit nice nice I was just hoping that really slammed on the brakes then and it has that was much better pitch than the last hole okay let’s go and knock that one in for

Birdie really good look at birdie here as the Sun starts to set here in Orlando at late Nona can we make another birdie or two coming home I think it’s a dead straight put come on let’s knock it in you are kidding me you are kidding me that was absolutely in the

Hole Oh I thought that was perfect I really did think that was perfect Oh I thought I had another one then I thought we had one more Birdie on the card then honestly I couldn’t have hit that any better putting’s been really good every time I look at one I

Feel like it’s going to drop and that that should have dropped anyway we remain two over incredible PA three coming up next 13th hole beautiful looking PA three there is a huge bunker on the left water short pin’s kind of in that left corner so just want to go heart of the

Green here 172 yards just it’s just a really a 3/4 swing with the 79 I could even go eight I’m going to go seven crap strike get there oh that’s a really bad strike actually really hurt my wrist okay just off the side of the green here on number 13 poor strike

Really um I should have tried to h a stronger a time than try and Fiddle a seven anyway just off the side of the green I’m in a bit of a predicament I’ve got three sprinkle heads here just off the green that is actually stopping me

From putting soz i’ have to actually Fe Fe it right between two of them which I could do but I’m going to chip it oh caught that’s so nice oh I caught that so nice not too disappointed with that listen you know it’s very rare do I catch it too

Good so if I don’t get up and down by catching it too good well that’s on me it did move right oh been hitting some really nice puts today that one doesn’t unfortunately drop which drops me a shot there on 13 after a PO T shot three over

Now oh dry B PA four coming up next though see if we can get one straight back bit of a silly bogey there on the last hole uh poor t- shot but it’s likely to happen path four 15th hole now again off the members teas and I’ve played in the past it’s actually

Somewhat drivable this hole but today it’s absolutely smack Bang into wind and it’s 316 yards from here so just straight down the Fairway is the is the plan pitch it on make a put you see it it’s good didn’t have a clue okay I didn’t have a clue where had

Hit it off the tea there we found it on the left hand side in a precarious spot it’s probably playing about 105 yards I just don’t know if I can get over that tree thing is I can go under but there’s a bunker right in front of the green so

I kind of need to get it up in the air if I can miss all the branches that’s a big if it’s quite a nice 50° wedge really right next to an old a divot as well so it’s a popular place over here oh trust it to it a branch that’s actually

Ridiculous I can’t the the the chances of me hitting branches are so slim yeah every bloody time I find to hit I seem hit a branch oh right kicked out left okay actually it’s done all right it’s k out left but it’s actually almost almost on the

Green that’s actually not too bad at all okay this is going to be a tricky tricky shot from here about halfway in the middle well about 3/4 of the way towards the pin it’s a real downhill port and everything beyond the pin goes really really fast it’s going to be all

About judgment control here slow slow slow slow slow this could be good this could be really good this could be really really good oh I’ll tell you what my touch on the greens today have been has been really really good that is a phenomenal put from back

There even if I do say so myself wow when I thought I was gonna potentially be making another bogey on an easy Par Four there salvaged it with the flat stick okay four holes to go a par five short Par Four really good par three and then final Par Four two over

To break 75 we’ve got to finish these last four holes in one on the par this is an incredible hole the 15th here at Lake Nona par five it wraps around the lake here you’ll see on the left of the moment uh good drive needed I don’t think with this wind I’ll

Get there in two it’s 580 yards let’s be honest I’m not going to get there in two so let’s see if we can make three nice shots onto the green and then hole up up oh it’s not pretty but it’s okay it’s down the right ah right I’m

344 yards away from the flag that was a bad t- shot leaked it out right I’ve got this Bank in front of me quite a clever Design This Bank it means I can’t take like a three-wood I’ve got to take a six iron and then pump it down the right

Hand side it’s going to be a real three shot of this time there bunk there’s all water left as you can see huge Lake there’s a bunker that runs parallel with the lake uh just to just to the right of it almost like a beach so I’ve got to

Send it out right and then I full shot him from there really I’ve only just got to miss this pine tree six iron great strike hopefully middle of the Fairway but I might have I might have the same Club in again third shot into this power five a lot further out than I

Wanted to be I needed to get a good drive down here it’s 168 yards left is not an option the green slim pins at the back seven iron in hand just got to hit just a nice seven iron come in a bit oh this could be nice

Don’t go big don’t go big don’t go big stop oh I think it’s just flown over the back of the green or landed on the green but then rolled off the back ah could have probably gone one Club less adrenaline is pumping okay that was frustrating I was

Kind of right between seven and eight ion I went with seven but obviously eight time would have been a better shot right just off the back of the Green in this kind of little juicy stuff again come on can we perform some magic can we chip one in it’s actually sat

Quite nice to this one I’m gonna chip this one in jeez I went for it came out so nice oh just needed to catch the pin just came came out a bit too hot okay feel like this put is to keep the dream alive if we want to try and

Break 75 Round Here so we’ve got to shoot under par for the final few holes this is for a par now on the 15th this has to go in I read it quite nicely as it went past the hole there’s not a lot of break in this at

All come on putting’s been incredible today gosh just too firm just too firm the line was perfect oh just too fast really in hindsight a bad bogey there Ah that’s put me to four over need meaning now I need to birded the last two of the last three

Holes ah that was just too fast it’s right in the heart of the hole again been rolling it good just that one just stayed out right par four par three Par Four to finish okay three to play Power four straight down just got to rip a Drive come on find this driver shop

Stay there yeah I that was really good okay come on two bird is needed didn’t think I’d be chasing a 75 today to be honest with you it’s a tough golf course off the bat te fast screens lots of awkward runoff spots so just to be in with a

Chance I’m feeling positive and pumped see if we can actually get it over the line okay after a great t-shot left side of the Fairway I mean look at this look at this background look at his setting r at the moment it’s just different level in it awesome really awesome one of the

Most beautiful golf courses in Florida right let’s see if we can make something beautiful happen here this isn’t going to be easy it’s a 200 yard golf shot straight back into wind on this Par Four I’m going to have to Rifle a three at it it’s anywhere on the green and I feel

Like my put’s got a chance we got deer on the golf course too look at that going to run across the Fairway feels like we’re playing golf in a fairy tale right I’m going to hit a hard cut 3 why not get back there get back there oh it’s so close to being

Good I actually think even that short it’s a long long long way it’s a long way to get to that hold could have probably should have tried to achas Ted three iron instead of a floaty one but anyway if it’s on the green we might have a chance with the

Putter there’s ever a time to chip in this is it front edge of the green not on the green going land it just on check it up I’m talking the torque can I walk the walk come on then come on then oh not bad not bad at

All okay to keep the dream alive with two holes left to play this needs to drop and then we need to bird in the last two nice up and down really nice up and down good four really solid putting’s been good chipping shown promise drive has not been

Great oh it’s forever game of spinning plates we got two to go par three Par Four we need to go birdie birdie to break 75 that’s a nice little up and down from the front of the green there showing some promise it’s been a good round

Today it has it’s a few tiny little mistakes but overall being pressed two birdies that’s what I need on the scorecard does that actually get me to my target of four bird as well I think it will uh sounds about right so I need the last two to hit my target no double

Bogies two birdies it’s going to be a dream round the golf okay here we go come on birdie birdie to finish 164 yd par three St straight back into wind look at that for a backdrop I mean it’s absolutely amazing and he got six iron which is

Like two clubs more than normal That’s How Strong I feel like the wind is and I’m going to even try to hit it lower anything on the green we have a chance of Birdie good flight get up there ball get up there ball okay okay we’re on the green listen

I don’t think it’s as close as we’d hoped it would be but with the flat stick being good today you never never know okay this is it we’re on the green actually pin High not a bad golf shot at all this has to go in and we still have to bird the last

The wind is really starting to pick up now as you can see off the lake how cool of the planes coming in there to Orlando Airport the only thing we want to land right now is a birdie and even better still a birdie birdie finish come on this is it putting

Has been phenomenal all day probably the best I’ve puted for a long long time oh it’s just low oh jeez oh Jee um not really sure what to say though you know I feel like that’s juice from is the wind off that Lake as soon as it

Got to halfway the wind just hit it and it’s it’s gone way far away okay as me saying how well I’ve been putting all day and I have that wasn’t a good effort at all but the good news is this one’s going to

Go in up the hill right to left I can be firm cuz it’s back into wind nice really nice rolling it brilliantly today I must admit that first oh jeez that first put was probably the worst one I’ve hit all day I think that’s just cuz I didn’t quite anticipate for the

Wind right one hole to go four overp par birdie gets me at 75 Eagle who knows who knows last hole as the sun comes down what an epic epic venue and that’s decent round of golf right Bird the last or Eagle it will be happy come on spank driver straight down

The middle that’s the first job come on wind move it move it move it move it is clinging on for dear life but we’re in a good spot now jeez that was linging on okay come on Grand St finish here on 18 after flirting with the water really flirting uh 166

Yards I go a TI I made the mistake of hitting seven before from this yardage the wind was different though it’s the wind doing now just across just coming off the lake yeah eight ‘s good come on on the green and there’s a chance of holding

It oh such a good strike it’s leaking right though oh that’s not going to be nice I know it’s a horrible Valley down there oh no needed to find the green and I’ve not that’s frustrating okay we’ve just come off the green just a little bit of a loose shot there I’m

Afraid played a few nice chips today but this club has been the magic weapon today and when we need to make birdie this is what we’re going to go with up the hill it’s going to fall a little bit to the right don’t need to be too aggressive on

It should have stopped there was a there was a bug just as I was hitting it a a bug came from underneath the ball and come and sat on top of it oh I should have stopped really distracted me annoyingly anyway we’ve got this for par ah I really should have stopped

There but we can hold this one with the Epic sunset for 76 which if I’m honest I’m not disappointed with at all around here think I could have shot 75 or under today I really could have just a few little tiny mistakes I didn’t capitalize on some of

The birdy opportunities on the bat nine but this it’s a c of four over 76 come on down the hill right to left with that background as well that would have been nice that would have been nice either way some good solid golf in there still not

Perfect but 77 will do it guys thanks for watching hopefully you enjoyed this beautiful stunning incredible golf course at late Nona be sure to like And subscribe could have been better but could have been a whole lot worse we’ll see you next time

  1. Rick , I was at the evnroll HQ getting a putter fitting and they said you’ve yet to stop in!!!

  2. Rick, I'm loving the channel and I'm happy to see all of the success you're having. You're almost up to 3mil subs!

    But just once I'd like to see you play a typical municipal course in The States. Golf is as high as a giraffes eye as of late and a lot of us look for good quality muni's from around the $35-75 price point.

    Would love to see it!

  3. never known a golfer let bad shots effect them so much, when I hit a bad shot I just think I can either let this ruin my round or just get on with it and still enjoy my round

  4. Great play Rick if I was to ever hit +5 I’d be completely delighted!
    Can see your improvement…it’s just getting everything right on the day! Keep up the good work..I want to see a scratch round this year! Come on Rick!!!

  5. Feel you’d shave a few shots off per round if you stopped dwelling on your previous shots !

  6. Love break 75! One video I would like to see. A video of you playing with a professional caddie and commentator. Full concentration throughout the round 👌🏻

  7. Hi Rick, it does look gorgeous but I have to say, playing with someone.. 'anyone'.. especially a member of the host club would just add to the fun. To chat with a playing member of the club would be so interesting. You could ask questions about playing in the country your in, the price of membership and how often they get to play. All interesting to us, who love the game but cannot whizz around the world playing lovely courses. Keep the videos coming mate 👍

  8. great vid @Rick!!!!!!! well done mate!! but it is a late release, isn't it? it can't be after turkey na?! as you guessed i also mainly ish follow your golf improvementtechnique 😉

  9. That golf course looks absolutely amazing! No doubt my membership invitation is in the mail. Now if I could just win the lottery to be able to afford it.

  10. Bushnell ads are very cleanly planned. I never think about your range finder but today I started asking and then here we go. Nicely done

  11. Rick do you put microphones in the holes? The ball noise is ridiculously crisp 🔥🔥

  12. Great video of a wonderful course. Your putting was phenomenal, and you had three strong lipouts. I would give anything to putt as well as you did that round. What was Mick Fleetwood's tip? I could use all the help I can get.

  13. Would like to see you break 75, but …… I doubt it. Sorry. You should play off shorter tees to have a chance to break 75. Just saying. No offense.

  14. That was truly an impressive round! No holes worse than bogey at that course, from the tips, is phenomenal!

  15. What a beautiful course and you played well. Wish I could play this course, but you have to be a member – will be in Florida in April.
