How to ENJOY YOUR GOLF! The most important thing 🤗

[@joshbrown661]

The first 30 seconds of this video really hit home for me. I picked up golf this summer after not playing for many years. My younger brother has terminal cancer and golf is how we reconnected and I get to spend some really quality time with him before he is gone. It is a good reminder as I go to play today that my score or how I hit my 3rd shot on hole 5 doesn't matter. I get to play golf with good people today, what a good day.

[@speedinon]

Your comment hit close to home for me. My sincerest wish for you is to remember the happy times with your brother along with playing golf with him.

[@BeachBow]

Congrats, you're a Golfmate!

[@rockyhoughtaling2007]

Wow, that advice in the intro was maybe the best I've ever received. That not only works for golf but life in general. Treat every round as if it may be your last.

[@DeValera22]

Rocky Houghtaling You are so right Rocky, I’ve played the final round of golf with three guys (two knew it was to be their last). The memory of those games morphed into why I treat each time out as special. I’d like to be remembered for great pace, sportsmanship and just the right amount of conversation.

[@DeValera22]

Gary, Don, Dick - I still think of you guys out on the course.

[@rockyhoughtaling2007]

@@DeValera22 well said. I'm gonna start treating every round that way. You just never know what might happen

[@BradGarland]

Here's a thought. You've got 18 holes and chances to express your gratitude about someone or something. How about each tee box you think about one thing you're grateful for...sounds like a great mindset to stay in when teeing off that hole.

[@jamesrevillgolfcoach]

I am grateful for my girlfriend and her family for letting me try and do my PGA and turn professional and 2 year's after starting the dream it came true.

[@alex-qg4yw]

Hope you see this Pete,I made my first ever par today at knott end on sea,par 4,4th hole🙂👍

[@Jon-yx3xc]

alex plays good going bud, now aim for two 😉💪

[@grumpygolfer1903]

Thank you Peter. This content is amazing. I am grateful for everything in my life. My wife, my children, and the ability to go out and play golf. What a great message, thank you again.

[@OldBillyBones]

I'm thankful every time I have time and resources enough to actually go the the course, practice and play. It's a lovely feeling to work hard at a game with the sun on your face.

[@markoj4971]

Another home run, Mr. Finch! Your variety of content and guests are fantastic.

[@charlierallis9385]

Finchy you are literally the reason I enjoy golf every round. I am thankful for the for everything you do. Thank you.

[@peterterry7622]

This has got to be the most thought provoking thing I have seen on KZbin. Not only about golf but life in general, I have read nearly all the comments and it was emotional, I have no health issues I have no one that I am aware of that is sick, I work I am ok money wise, makes me think what a idiot I have been in how I sometimes look at things. thank you so much.

[@garybrumley3519]

The opening statements were spot on. There is so much to appreciate when I go out to play. I love to see the expanse of green grass in the summertime to the dormant grass in the winter. There is a lot of time to look inward while playing. Even when playing with others, I’m able to think about so many things, which helps to keep my mind off of golf between shots. I’m so grateful for a wife that has no issues with the amount of golf that I play.

[@stamfordhatter5612]

Thanks Pete. Just what I needed. Took eight weeks off during the summer as I wasn’t enjoying playing. Back now and have the pleasure of playing the Renaissance this Thursday. Will be taking my positive questions with me!

[@lookylooish]

Peter , your channel has just gotten better and better. Congratulations on putting out such high quality content. I hope you get to a million subscribers soon.

[@Golfholics]

Being grateful 💯 well done pete🤙

[@gmuzz]

Having spent two years off work suffering with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ME and not being able to hit a single ball I can wholeheartedly agree. I played 18 (with the help of a buggy) last Sunday and it was the best experience I've ever had on the golf course. Played rubbish but had the best time ever. Simply forgot about what I did right or wrong and just enjoyed the experience

[@davidrichard4300]

I am blessed that my daughter wants to play and I enjoy watching her get better and better each time. It makes golf a beautiful walk

[@asliceofry8735]

played yesterday with my 77 year old Dad and my Brother, sunny day, totally relaxed, all of us played really well and came away from the round wishing we played a lot more than we do.

[@DeValera22]

I brought an elderly member (2 yrs not playing & a health concern) out yesterday. His joy at seeing the place again was infectious and I shot my best round in three years. (Humorous takeaway - took five holes to get him to STOP attending the flagstick & explained the rule change)

[@michaelfritch4739]

Really cool video Pete. It’s easy to not be thankful for everything we have, and seeing that in relations to golf was nice. I think it’s a great reminder to live in the now and be grateful for everything we have. I am grateful for my family, friends, health and that I get to enjoy the great game of golf.

[@Themodelrailer]

That was quite a deep video but really makes you think no matter how bad you may think you are there are people who would love to be able to just have the chance to be able to play at all and be made up to play as “bad” as you think you are

[@scotlint9246]

I’m very thankful for my family and the love and support from them also grateful for being able to play the game of golf

[@vincentsheetz1982]

Watching Peter Finch videos is the most important thing!!

[@wanderingbrummie]

Absolutely agree, although it’s hard to be happy if you are topping every other shot all the way round. But I’m grateful to be playing, most people in the world are struggling to survive rather than battling a shank.

[@robertharper874]

Great stuff. I remember when i got sick and i thought i wasn't going to be able to play again, i sold my clubs. After i got better i began to work on my swing and after several weeks i went out and played 9 holes with some friends. I shot even par and my friends said to me you really played well for being out for a while. I looked at them and said im just glad im healthy and that i can come out here and enjoy this great game. Enjoy your videos always

[@FALLau1]

had a terrible round today , this was just the video i needed ! Thanks Pete

[@JohnEHawk]

Wonderful vid man! I'm still and always will be working on gratitude. I am grateful for the ability to get out of bed each day and do some of the things I enjoy. In fact, I am grateful for more than I could possibly list at any given time. I found your channel 2 months ago and your content is excellent. Thanks again for your contribution to the world!

[@speedinon]

Playing golf is the only time that I don't think about life's troubles and heartaches whether I play well or poorly. We all go through life's tribulations and it's so true that we have a finite number of rounds.

[@thebackninegrind1226]

Literally was thinking about this today, how grateful I am physically able to golf after avoiding a car accident on my way to the course.

[@josephnewcomb1737]

Very true my best golf is the US Labor Day weekend tournament I play every year when I’m playing the hardest/ most beautiful courses I can get access to. And I chalk it up to just being so grateful to play it! It’s also a military fund raiser (folds of honor) so even more inspiration for things to be grateful for

[@TheGolfClan]

This is awesome. Love the message of not allowing our emotional state to react to our scoring. But rather setting our emotional state apart from our results, which ironically may improve them 👍🏼

[@GolfingMalky]

I had a bad patch of golf last year . After lessons and some deep thought I realised I was over-thinking the game and forgetting it was just that, a game. It really is the best game ever - well done the Scots who invented it. Cheers!

[@nicklees5232]

Played 18 today and lipped out a 15 footer for 70. Shot one under 71 and it was my favorite round this year!

[@aaroncray3692]

So true, how lucky are we to be playing this game - Really enjoyed their last book and will definitely be buying the next

[@mjbiren]

After a difficult 95 today, I needed this.

[@nzsticky]

I feel the advice in this video could be more beneficial to most golfers than almost any technique related content. Loving your videos and life philosophy Pete! Keep it coming.

[@chrisgolfer7528]

I always go by the saying "I'm walking on the grass,not looking up at it". Appreciate life and enjoy no matter what.

[@glennwatson3313]

I'm grateful for a nice long draw and a good roll.

[@alexdeel2339]

Fantastic incite on playing and enjoying the game.

[@michealhudson4515]

Great video. I've noticed most people don't truly enjoy a day at the course. Golf is supposed to be fun and relaxing. Obviously we aren't professionals, so why not take every game and try to learn something new.

[@garybrumley3519]

Micheal Hudson I totally agree. I’ve played with so many guys over the years that get so frustrated when they play badly, rather than enjoying being out on a beautiful course with friends. It’s these friends who play sporadic golf and never practice or take lessons.

[@michealhudson4515]

@@garybrumley3519 yup. I play scrambles with my son every Tuesday and Saturday and I see guys breaking clubs or throwing them. I take at least 6 balls with me and if I hit a stinker so be it. I just love watching my son take to the game. And the old timers we play with take special interest in my son giving him tips and tricks. Plus they keep him laughing which keeps him from getting to upset

[@DeValera22]

Gary Brumley A great line was “you aren’t good enough, to be this upset”. Guys like that join my list of folks I prefer to not play with.

[@fsnicolas]

Very nice conversation. Do I wait to be able to play well before I can feel good on the golf course? Playing well, I guess is the bonus for recreational players. For me, I've always enjoyed the outdoors and especially the beautiful greenery, which is the main reason I knew I would go back to playing golf after a 10-year hiatus.

[@Cuckoo_Nature_Hobbies]

Best games ever are the ones I decided to enjoy no matter how I played...good memories.

[@guitarsandgolfballs]

Always entertaining videos Peter.

[@KevinORourke25]

I stopped keeping score years ago. I remember, I think it was Pat Bradley, who said armatures should hit until they are happy. Of course this does not mean that you should hold any body up. But, if you are not pleased with a particular shot, and you have the time, hit another one. Purists heads are exploding I know, but I never have a bad round of golf, I won't allow it. The result is I love every round I play and that is what I play for. Relaxation and FUN!

[@craigedga4r]

Gratitude can change attitude!!!💪💪💪👍👍👍🙂🙂🙂

[@VPTest]

So cool!! I'm looking to improve my game so I'm using Golf Kinetics with my phone, it's so easy

[@robbiles]

You could have ended this at the intro. So true.

[@adriancox-thesantjordigolf3646]

Stunning course

[@kylejones8443]

Wish I'd seen this last week before I lost my head and broke my 6 iron 😂. I'll remember this when I'm playing tomorrow.

[@therealjigsawjp]

First! Out buying golf balls atm! Me and a buddy are headed to the course shortly!!! Love you pete!

[@compa4929]

I really need to learn how to do this. I tend to get frustrated at myself for my bad shots, and I hit a lot of them, and not enjoy the round.

[@paulandsueroberts4121]

Good vid Pete,enjoyed listening to all of your views.Lovely place.....

[@louisalvarado4272]

I realized how selfish I am! Thanks for the insight!! My next round may be my last!

[@kolerhodes1461]

I have never read a golf book. Perhaps this one would be a great first.

[@williamparke8868]

Loved the vlog Pete pal.❤️👍😀

[@mrmackey5088]

Nice vid mr Finch, have a good weekend!

[@fredstrauch616]

I would love to get these books as a gift but they only come on Kindle and you can only get a hard copy of the lost art of putting. Is there a chance they will come on Apple Books?

[@BogeyBrothas]

I hope I have a lot of rounds left .. golf is life !

[@gammyluvblack7492]

Golf is life

[@QuietChris]

that was a really nice video

[@kalebzehr6850]

If you guys like this video, I highly recommend you read or listen to "Zen Golf" By Joseph Parent. This book changed my life forever in so many ways, on and off the golf course. I will be eternally grateful for having it pop up in my recommended in audible.

[@jamesgraham2115]

Whilst ur there Pete u have to play Muirfield

[@MikeyMonster100]

One thing I haven't seen anyone mention in these comments is a cold beer in your hand. Nothing completes a round like being shit faced drunk on the 18th tee box and slicing three balls into the woods while your mates laugh at you. Cheers.

[@jovialgent9963]

Copious amounts of drunkey red the night before usually helps me enjoy my golf! ⛳🍷😋

[@jamesgraham2115]

First

[@JulienB_BTW]

That was your hip?!?

[@jamesboyce9510]

Did i hear his hip pop? 5:15 wtf? lol

[@iamlukepaige7370]

I am grateful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ and how His death paid the debt I owed. I am eternally grateful for that.

[@caident1040]

Blunts and Beers. That's the trick

[@kalebzehr6850]

No It's not. Trying to get happiness from external things will never make you truly happy.

[@marcusburns8278]

that hip doesn't sound good pete!

[@lukejohn87]

Hi guys I’m organising a charity golf day next year for my friends uncle who died to cancer he loved golf so I’m trying to get 20 four balls playing at Gedney hill on the 28th of March 2020 for charity day it’s £30 per person that’s bacon roll an tea or coffee on arrival an a round off golf an raffle at the end with the presentation if you are interested in this then let me know an ill put you down in teams off 4 cheers guys any questions let me know please get in contact many thanks Pete please get you and rick along would be so much fun

[@marccaruso1351]

Every time you guys try to bring sense to the average golfer; sometimes you miss, why are you talking about fun golf from a 195 yard pr three, for the average joe? Why? You’re saying you are going to give tips on how a 20+ plus handicap can hit a green with a 2hy or 5 wood? They can’t hit the green with a 7i much less a 2hy. Why can’t you see that? The first thing to do is tell that 20-handicapper to give themselves a chance and take on a 150-160 yard shot from the tee. What’s wrong with you? You English are starting to worry me in the common sense dept. my best, mates.

[@grahamhill4113]

Marc, you missed the point of the video. Have another look.

[@dryndapowell4362]

Sorry ,borrrrrring 😴 don’t over analyse.
