1. I really hope this video helps you! Please subscribe if so!!!

2. Just played my first par 3 with borrowed clubs last week and that last part is true. A lot of bad shots, but the one I’ll always remember is when I did get a par. Such a different feeling to focus on the positives

3. they sank the putt at 7:42

4. I just started this week and I'm in so much adoration for golf !

5. i dont care wtf you say, you still are a beginner golfer. No better than the average joe at any golf course. You are so self centred and brag so much, you have a horrible way of ‘teaching’ people to the point its embarrassing. Mind your own business.

6. 📌 I don't know who, but someone actually needs to hear this, you've got to stop saving all your money. Venture into investing some, if you really want financial stability.

7. Rick your content is top notch and appreciate your class. Have yet to see a video of your's I did not enjoy and learn from!

8. Man Rick! You really are an amazing person. It’s one thing to be a good teacher but to have the energy that makes someone from an entirely different country feel warm and at home is a truly magnificent gift that you where afforded! Love the vids, love the energy and I damn sure love you sir. Thanks for ACTUALLY caring!

9. Coke for the golf. Stay for the beard.

10. What does a person need to know about a lesson who is thinking about starting to play golf for the first time?

11. He is great with so much sensible advice; especially the bit about "have fun".

12. I'd add a caveat to the equipment doesn't matter. Brand new shining clubs don't matter, but fitting DEFINITELY does. Just getting out there with any clubs is amazing, but if you want to start out with a good foundation, you should consider getting your clubs fitted so that the face of the club is appropriate. Even if it's some 15 year old hand me downs. Get them fitted. Fitting and lessons are two of the best investments you can make in your golf game.

13. I’d also say give yourself preferred lies while starting out. Playing horrible lies just make the game less fun when brand new. Once you start figuring out your swing start trying to hit those hard shots.

14. There is no "magic" club!

15. Have fun!! Thanks! Lovin' everything you put out – teaching, your other channel, and very very much when you're out with your friends having fun!! Keep up the variety and the uber cheery attitude!!!

16. I appreciate #5/#6 I think especially a young/new golfer we worry a lot about judgement especially gear because we don’t really know what to do, what club for the situation and tend to feel like the insecurity gets so REAL that people may be watching you. Which isn’t true. Nobody actually cares unless your snapping clubs on a bad shot. I appreciated that, thanks!

17. 2e season golfer, you complete swing guide was a blessing last summer and is a great reminder as I wait for the snow to finish melting. Keep up the good work Rick

18. Buy a cheap driver to start out with. You're going top the ball, shank it, hit the ground or mat in front of the ball. I ended up putting a nice crack and dents in my first driver. I'm glad it wasn't a 400 club.

19. Bro you had me at the most important club in the bag is the putter!

20. I would add that not everyone on the course wants to hear your music. Get some ear buds.

21. What a solid guy Rick is, great stuff.

22. so helpful….intelligent….excellent advice…..

23. Drive for show and putt for dough

24. More than a few bits and bobs to also help: Start out with only a few clubs. Get that one club that goes 150 yards (Don't care what it is so long as it is reliable), pitch, sand wedge, putter, and maybe one or two more to fill in the 125 and/or 170+ spots if you absolutely need them for your local course.

    Get very familiar with them. How to swing only those, how the ball reacts off them. It's far enough to get down the fairway, but not long enough to land you in really deep trouble or lose golf balls regularly. How you swing irons is different to how you swing woods and driver. Don't confuse yourself by learning the basics of all of them at the same time. Driver is hard. And there are golfers out there who don't even carry one at single digit handicaps. Slowly add in more clubs as you go.

25. You should make a video on rules and etiquette. Things like drops, how to fix divets, marking your ball, whatever.

26. Some good advice, but i honestly, don't think beginners should throw away their time with practicing a lot of putting. Hitting the ball with Driver, irons and wedges is a lot harder. Almost everyone can put decent. Like you said, it's a leveled playing field. Most beginners don't even reach the green before their shot limit is up. So what's the point of being a good putter then? That advice is for intermediate or better players imo.
