There's a caveat to that you hit a lot of golf balls cracks in your clubhead speed you're working out golf hitting golf balls is your life i haven't hit a golf ball since well before lockdown [Music] speaking of playing golf in a match though um a gentleman called nick k wrote in the facebook group. So the rick shields golf show podcast which is a facebook group join it why not 55 000 members now get involved. And he said when golf courses are open in england how long will it will we have to wait before it's a rick versus guy cause flog give the people what they want. So i then.

Commented and said if this comment my own comment gets 100 likes which i think you knew it was going to get 100 likes yeah i'll play rick shields. And film it for the second youtube channel which is the rick shields golf show on youtube which is doing unbelievable at the moment by the way it is big shout out to matt one of our other editors as well he's been putting a lot of work. And and effort into that we're on 45 000 subscribers now pretty much and this is filmed as we speak. So if you listen to this in audio wise in the car on a run or something you can check out clips on that channel that comment got 354 likes wow people want it. So people want to see me play you now i'm going to hold my hand as we get 354 views on the video yeah exactly. But there's a caveat to that you hit a lot of golf balls yeah cracks in your clubhead speed you're working out golf hitting golfers is your life i haven't hit a golf ball since well before lockdown. So what we might do we said is possibly have a kind of do a bonus pod we might play a few holes get back into swing of it pull that as like a little bonus podcast treating a thursday treat let's say why not. And then.

We can ramp it up i'll have a few range sessions get really early extension. And i can um beat you potentially what's the current scores on the doors you versus me probably got three nil to you to be fair. And beat you every time but you have and i've hold my hands up to that they've been good games really good the grange park nine holes which is my old golf course you beat me at i think it was on the last we played at dunham forest i was winning most that match. And you won on the last was it done in forest delamere forest sorry did you win on the last yeah i did again. And i was winning most of that match. And you won um played here yeah well you played really really well i played well again. But you beat me is that it we played it i suppose yeah that was horrendous at film. But yeah i batted you down you did battle four nil. But it's been close and um if i and that's always with me just turning up not using my own club bits and bats i'll be coming to this one absolutely propel metal spike shoes on spur glove in my bag loads of tees too many tees clubs cleaned absolutely cleaned grips cleaned um speaking of clubs did you see that thing up on instagram. And the story of so i've got a new so i had i've not got my thing now but i think i had over a thousand votes. So i'll explain it to everyone so i've been using that obviously a taylormade spider putter for a while it's obviously one of rick's it's a spider-x copper i love it to bits didn't matter about the color which isn't a big deal breaker is it. But just and i'm not a big fan of the color of it which it doesn't mean anything. But honestly i've now this new two ball with a line on it two balls my favorite putter ever the spider shape is my favorite shape ever. So the two in one should be a match made in heaven and that's kind of what i i had the same opinion when we released a video last week exactly so i've got both put a little picture on my instagram and just a little vote and said which which should i use it was literally 50 50. like. And i think i had a 1500 uh no over a thousand votes. So it was like 500. And then.

502 or something so it worked out 50 50. so i'm not sure i don't decide not to do what to do.
