Things we can learn from the video

5:25The event uses a draft to distribute players with widely differing handicaps across four teams.
7:37Players were asked to pack four kit colours before learning which team they would join.
26:40Pete Finch selected Rick eleventh overall in the draft.
34:37Crew member Ed describes the backstage equipment, production area and camera assignments.
45:00Rick says he and Martin Borgmeier got their playing order wrong in alternate shot.

Packing for the Internet Invitational meant preparing for a team Rick Shiels hadn't joined yet. Players were told to bring red, green, white and blue clothing. Red was the colour he hoped to avoid, simply because he didn't own much of it.

That small logistical detail is part of the appeal of "Rick Shiels Talks Internet Invitational 2026", the most watched of The Rick Shiels Golf Show's three uploads this week. With H.I.T channel manager Ben Wright hosting, Rick has room to recount the machinery around the golf: accommodation at Big Cedar Lodge, promotional photographs, the draft and the task of coordinating a gathering of creators. Pete Finch selected him for Team Blue.

The episode has passed 117,000 views and is the channel's busiest upload each day. Viewers are adding their own connections to the event: one commenter recalls joining Rick's group on the back nine at Buffalo Ridge, while another says the Invitational brought them to Rick's channel.

The other new uploads bring things back to everyday golf questions: "Can you tell the difference between different golf balls? 🤔" and "Do you get first tee nerves 🤔 #golf". Meanwhile, late October's "The BEST golf tips i've been given 👀" remains a substantial daily draw, approaching half a million views.

The channel added about a thousand subscribers over the week, with daily views close to their usual level. Its weekly audience was similar in size to Stan Sport's, while Surfing With Noz had a much larger week. For Rick, the tournament debrief and the practical tips are supplying two distinct reasons to stop by.

What viewers say

@RickShielsGolfShow, I was the random fella at Buffalo Ridge that joined you on the back nine. Seb went birdie, birdie, birdie, eagle on 11-14. A ridiculous 5 under in 4 holes. You were all a pleasure to play with and so kind to ask me to join you.

Rick getting knocked out and sticking around to enjoy the golf and help Duke with his swing is pretty wholesome. Sounds like he had a great time regardless.

Some of My favorite content that rick makes is retelling his adventures at all these different events and courses and so on. He just has a way with words that’s really awesome to listen to.
