Rick Shiels returns to Valderrama, one of the toughest golf courses in Europe - host of the 1997 Ryder Cup, and LIV Andalucia, for one reason... REVENGE! This iconic Spanish course gave Rick one of the worst rounds of his year last time out, and he hasn't forgotten it. Now he's back to take on all 18 holes, from the treacherous opening stretch to the infamous par 5 17th, determined to rewrite the story. Will Valderrama humble him again, or is this the redemption round he's been waiting for?

The change in your golf since cancelling alcohol and losing some weight is inspiring. Great job Rick
Now the best putter on YT and one of the best drivers. Just got the short irons, pitches and chips to go!! 😂 You must have been suffering from mental fatigue towards the end. Every shot requires near perfection. 74 is an awesome effort...well done.
Its so nice to see play such good golf. Your game is solid and you look like you're enjoying it so much more. Long may it continue.
Hole 4 should have laid up with the 9. Shaved 2 off your score
I love how the new favourite club is a 7 wood and a few months back it was never going in the bag. I need one too and don’t think it will leave my bag either
Amazing how you rarely broke 75 during those challenges on lesser courses. Health and fitness making a huge difference. Keep up the awesome job Rick!!!
I think it's the best driving I have ever seen you play...
Your putting saved you sir! Rolled it great.
Fair play Rick, putting was absolute 🔥
Beat course I've played, camera doesn't do it justice either, so tough and pristine.
played valderama early this year best course I've ever played the trees are truly amazing, beautiful course, great vid rick
Wow Rick that was awesome great efforts❤
Rick looking fresh, must have been on a health buzz through the winter
Very generous drop on 2 you gave yourself! Got that tree out of the way
On 18, Rick says - "I bet not many people have been over here". I was waiting for the caddy to say, "Well, not while playing the 18th hole". Beautiful course - solid score!
Brilliant work Rick and the team!
YouTube GOAT drops video two hours early! Thanks Team Rick!
Thats a hell of a round ...well played. The putter turned up when needed
When you're in Spain, you should try to persuade a member of the La Zagaleta Old Course to take you out for a round. Unfortunately, they're just as strict about filming and photography as they are at Augusta National Golf Club. The green speeds and overall condition of the course at La Zagaleta make Real Club Valderrama seem almost like an average course by comparison. You simply have to play it. The newer course is narrow and challenging. A climbing rope and the agility of a mountain goat would be preferable, but it's great fun, and the speed of the greens is absolutely mind-blowing.
We need “Birdie sauce” back Rick!!
