Ric Shiels- Lumine pro am score
Londoner ·
This is not intended as a bashing thread. We have all had rounds where it felt like our first.
But I thought pros had some level of constistency cracked.
Ric hit 41 over for 3 rounds in a pro am on a 6300 yard course.
The winner was +2.
How does a pro unravel like that?

He shot 88 in the first round!!!!
pete finch faired much better, he was +2 in round 1 i believe
There must be a lot of pressure and embarrassment shooting scores like that when your supposed to be an authority on golf and have a huge audience, he’s probably more well known than most European tour players
Good youtube videos, decent coach, tournament golf not so much
Mark is very petty isn’t he haha

I understand all that but my pal plays off 1 and has a day job. I can't see him scoring like that.

Im sure hes a good guy. I enjoy his material, been a subscriber for ages. Ive also played many of the courses he posts vlogs from, which makes it even more interesting.
As i said its not a bash, just surprised and disappointed for the guy.

Okay, so is this or isn't it a bash? Your responses haven't really seemed to provide much in the way of support. Let's have a "get 'em next time, Rick!"

Serviceable swing but his chipping and putting are pretty bad. He's a driving range pro that lives on the GCQuad instead of on the practice green.

I dont know how else to say it. I like Ric, its not a bash.
It's just that in my experience lower handicap usually equates to more consistency. Thats the question.
Ric played to 17 handicap on each of the 1st 2 days. One of my regular playing partners, for 20 years, plays off 7. Ive never seen him play to 17.

I agree with that North but have you seen the 5-6 guys you play with score +17 in consecutive rounds, on a 6,300 yard track?

I don't get how some are suggesting vanity cap, whatever handicap he has is taken from the comps he plays in (not sure this one would count for his system) and he's posted up his scores in the area tournaments he's played in, so whatever handicap he has should be legit.
I would bet if it was June-August you'd see more consistency, but he's not grinding practice during the winter and hardly has decent conditions to play in back home.
Now are there teaching pros I know who can play a lot better than that even though hardly playing? You bet.
Still say he's on vacation (he took the wife and kids), totally rusty and hasn't put in any real work since probably early November, if that.
I don't have any expectations for him, though I enjoy him, so I guess it's not an issue for me.

Glad I'm not the only one that caught that. Walking off the green he said "We made 4 good pars there," when his first putt was just pounded way past the hole. I really have a hard time believing he made his comeback putt for par.
But as far as his tournament score goes, in his defense, he has been doing different types of club reviews now. Every practice round he's had recently he has switched drivers between the front and back 9's. Out of 5-6 rounds, he's used at least 3 different drivers. Probably hard to get consistency off the tee when you're swapping between so many different clubs.

Well in his intro video before the tournament began, he claimed he doesn't even have a handicap, because he's a Pro. (Which doesn't even make any sense).
Also, when looking up "Shiels" on GHIN's website, nothing comes up. So maybe he actually doesn't hold a handicap for some odd reason?
