Scratch golfer uses golf Rules to his Advantage

[@colinspence]

Peter is 100% my favourite guest on your channel. No trash talk, always encouraging his playing partners, a true golfer

[@GolfMates]

Definitely, Thank you

[@APro4il3]

love me some Mr Barlow and his trash-talking to be fair

[@ptop49]

Barlow rocks! You need a mix. Too nice and no banter will get boring. Liam has the formula down pat 👍

[@fitzg002]

Yeah agreed, always love seeing a new video with Peter!

[@tonygodwin3319]

Definitely more Pete, please. Quality golfer and a gent with a great sense of humour just like Simon.😁

[@GolfMates]

Thank you

[@Oldlard]

"Middle of fairway is good." It's these pearls of wisdom that keep me coming back.

[@GolfMates]

Thank you for watching

[@Gregc63]

Love watching you and Peter play, can really tell you 2 are great mates! Cheers and a great match!

[@martyngiles5163]

Hi Liam, it seems to be that the height doesn't matter as any staked tree is a no play zone, so relief needs to be taken, if Pete didnt take relief then he could have incurred a 2 shot penalty, but local rules rule👍

[@GolfMates]

Thank you Martyn

[@gregthebaker829]

Height of the stake, the tree or Pete? Only joking. Top lad Pete. Silky swing.

[@stevenmitchell7134]

Love watching Pete, he’s a great golfer and full of encouragement for others

[@petershepherd5916]

From House of Payne, Danny Mauade to Peter Finch, you never have bad guest's. Everyone brings something to the table and you always learn something about the game we love and often drives us nuts. Keep living the dream mate 👍

[@GolfMates]

Love this comment thank you Peter! GOLFMATE

[@darrenhall9770]

Pete is such a gent! Unassuming and always positive. Makes the game look so simple. If only. More Peter Finch please 🙏

[@HackedOut]

He’s proper class Liam, need him on regular. The scratch video was something else and I took loads from that, particularly the mental stuff about shot selection. Made you play better as well, and you both played awesome

[@GolfMates]

He did

[@larryd4352]

Liam....2 under par for 5 holes....and against a +4 handicapped golfer....I call it a victory for you! I love it when you have Peter on the Golf Mates....

[@GolfMates]

Cheers Larry

[@fairweathergolfer]

The last two Videos with Pete have been so pleasurable to watch. Good banter and I could watch Pete play all day, with his effortless ability he makes golf look so easy and to top that he is very humble. Shame about his haircut though! More of Pete as your guest please Liam.

[@shevshep]

More of "The Real Peter Finch" please but only after he's sorted our holiday out! Great video once again.

[@GolfMates]

Absolutely Kevin

[@S.forbes]

Pete is definitely the best guest you have on the channel. 100% need to see more of him. I'd love to watch a full 18 holes of him playing. Wouldn't mind playing a round with him either 😅 Quality golfer 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾

[@GolfMates]

Thank you, top Man

[@platobach8309]

Great fun, Liam. That was a great mini-round, and we look forward to seeing more of “3-Iron Pete”. Lovely course and some great shots from both of you.

[@GolfMates]

Thank you

[@sudhirshukla]

That was a class act! Well done you both. Always a pleasure to watch

[@GolfMates]

Thank you

[@RobertPrins-oz6qo]

Either a local rule or relief under Rule 16.1-b. Both a MUST-take or a 2stroke penalty. Nice show, lads.

[@GolfMates]

Thank you

[@alanrhind4960]

Absolute magic. Just a joy to watch two mates playing some great golf. Well done guys for this episode and well done to Carus Green for a glorious looking course.

[@GolfMates]

Thank you Alan

[@TijuanaBiblieMike]

I watch them all, and I somehow really enjoyed this one a little more. I like watching Peter play, so good, such a beautiful swing and he’s never rattled. Good one mates!

[@GolfMates]

Thank you Golfmate

[@GolfingMalky]

Great vlog and yes to seeing more of Peter. Loved hearing Joe laughing etc of camera!

[@tonybiggs7318]

Last hole, “more jam than Hartley’s” 😂😂 Love that Pete.

[@GolfMates]

Brilliant

[@MagpieGeordie]

Yes more of Peter please. He’s awesome 😊

[@GolfMates]

Thank you

[@cameronurquhart1515]

Definitely need to see a LOT LOT LOT more of Peter Finch. He is such a gentleman on the course.

[@GolfMates]

Thank you

[@JiKimbo]

More of Peter Finch please! He's a great lad. Any chance you could set up a match with him vs the fake one? 😂

[@robknoop9482]

Absolutely want to see more of the real Peter Finch. What a gentleman golfer.

[@GolfMates]

Thank you

[@halfkraazy]

Great match! We love ya here Pete. To be fair, Liam was striking the ball much better this video.

[@neilcuthbert5278]

Another great video, really enjoying watching '3 iron Pete'. Really good golf from Liam too. 😊😊

[@kevinburns2211]

Love watching Pete play great video again keep up the good work

[@GolfMates]

[@mpeach26]

We need more Peter on this channel please. Great vid

[@GolfMates]

Thank you Mark

[@andrewjohnston4792]

[@GolfMates]

Thank you

Brilliant game format, Peter is such a nice guy . Enjoyed that and well played both.

[@GolfMates]

Thank you 😊

[@grahamhartless4317]

Loving the extra info put on the screen.

[@GolfMates]

Thank you

[@GDJ1957]

WE NEED TO SEE THE 2 PETER FINCHS PLAY A MATCH ON THIS CHANNEL. COME ON LIAM, MAKE IT HAPPEN.

[@TheOnlyStonemason]

That is a fantastic idea…18 holes! Make it happen Liam!

[@ducatidad8231]

The other Finch is doing a ‘best golfer on KZbin’ series…this has to be set up!!

[@GolfMates]

Would be a good one

[@andrewwright380]

What about 2 Peter Finch's and 2 James Robinson's versus Golf Mates (or a Finch & Robinson on each of 2 4 ball teams).......

[@gordonmetcalf2476]

What a good video, nice banter, relaxed game,

[@GolfMates]

It was, cheers

[@richardllewellyn2633]

Pete was correct and as it says in local rules. Top game and banter. Pete is not only a terrific golfer he seems to be a gent and genuinely chuffed if you hit a good shot. Let’s have more of Pete

[@GolfMates]

Definitely a gent no bitterness! Thank you

[@humblequest7905]

Love the videos featuring Pete. Top bloke and a great player 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@GolfMates]

Thank you

[@fontyyy]

staked tree rules tend to be local rules. We say staked and any tree lower than one club length high relief is allowed. but the stake itself is an immovable obstruction (and not part of the course) and thus you get relief from it anyway.

[@mthithers]

First, I love listening to Peter strike the ball. It’s pure music. Second, the phrase “I got the clap” must mean something different in Jolly ol’ England than it does here in the USA. 😂

[@fatbikefiend8663]

More real Finchy!!! Smoothest swing on KZbin and a class personality despite all your banter… drowning in 2 feet of water. 😂

[@GolfMates]

Definitely 💯

[@stephenmcgregor5479]

Hi Liam Peter is correct a staked tree is a staked tree and relief can be taken particularly when local rule applies. As usual some great golf and good banter excellent.

[@GolfMates]

Thank you Stephen

[@simoncooper4623]

Great golf from the both of you! Wonderful course too. Thanks

[@GolfMates]

Thank you enjoyed this one

[@martintait-sc7sq]

Awesome video guys more of pete very up to date with everything golf

[@deanharber3651]

Liam some of the best golf I’ve seen on golf mate’s little Pete great golfer brought the best out of you chuffed for you 🎉

[@GolfMates]

Cheers

[@jonathanluke9334]

Yes please Liam more of Peter he is class 🏌️‍♂️⛳️

[@GolfMates]

Thank you

[@ianredford8894]

Great seeing Pete back on the channel.cracking stuff as always.

[@GolfMates]

Thank you

[@184tosh]

What a brilliant show of golf there, chaps. Bravo.

[@tomlee812]

A great round of golf by both of you. What a gent Peter is.

[@BambooBob]

Peter was correct. He gets a drop from the staked tree. Rule 16.1.a - An abnormal course condition physically interferes with the player’s area of intended stance or area of intended swing Peter Finch is a Class A class act! Love him! He really stepped up your game, Liam!

[@GolfMates]

Thank you, really enjoyed this game

[@jesterpec]

Pete is a total gent. Great video, as usual.

[@andrewwright380]

Great match. Some fantastic golf there guys! Keep up the good work!

[@GolfMates]

Thank you

[@btet19]

Depends on local golf club rules you do get relief from a staked tree .If it interferes with your stance or your swing .In otherwords your swing will be deemed to hit the staked tree .But to be honest in Peters case it looked like his swing would not be interfered with on the his follow through .So I think he shouldn't have got a drop .He looked far enough away from the staked tree not to have swing interference.Staked interference starts from the ball position and your stance set to the ball .Staked interference does not start from a practice swing that is away from the ball .Which may lead you to hit the staked tree .

[@GolfMates]

Absolutely 👍

[@JonathanBudd-oc6iv]

Great video great to see Liam play well think Pete brings it out of him

[@mikejones-go8vz]

Carry a stake in your bag and you can lean it up against any small tree in the way, but don’t let your mates see you doing it 🤔 Staked trees are local rules, read the board before you tee off (I never do ) and it’s sometimes printed on the card. Another great video, you have nice guests Liam 👍🏽 and I commented before I finished watching, and before Pete showed the card 😂

[@GolfMates]

Thank you Mike top Man

[@pcrowleySTL]

Peter is an excellent player, and I feel like I learn something each time he plays.

[@GolfMates]

Thank you, he’s got some knowledge

[@chrisgolfer7528]

Some courses do adapt a height regarding stakes trees. As it is down to individual courses to set a height it would come under "Local Rules" of the club in question.

[@GolfMates]

Yes chris we found out this later 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@earlydaysseaangling007]

Great to see Pete again love to have lesson from him

[@GolfMates]

Cheers James top Man Pete is

[@michaelduthie6140]

Great video with great golf, Finchy is a class act. Course looks awesome 👏

[@GolfMates]

Thank you

[@robtucker7488]

Great, entertaining viewing,proper feel good golf

[@richardsharp7445]

Great match, well played, as for the height ruling, as per any rule in any sport, they can be interpreted in different ways, use them to your advantage and proves you should have knowledge of the laws.

[@GolfMates]

Thank you Richard

[@diggerlenny4836]

I read the comments to see what folks said about the ruling but then it spoilt the result🙈 still a class video to watch. Hes a great lad to have on isnt he. More with PF would be quality. Great little contest that

[@GolfMates]

Thank you, don’t read the comments till the end lol

[@David-sn4ej]
