I took on Open Qualifying…it was a DISASTER

[@ChiBear82]

Please keep this series going, Pete! Your quest for the Open series is some of the best content on KZbin.

[@primafacie6442]

Agree it’s brilliant for us amateurs to live vicariously through our KZbin content creator’s experiences. Golf is tough and Pete (Rick et al) are masters of their trade, aka golf entertainment. Well done Pete.

[@Buzzjugs]

You really believe that?

[@KnottProductionHD]

Mate.. it's the "quest" for the open! A "quest" by definition is "a long or arduous search for something", and that is exaclty what it was! If you give up now it would totally defeat the purpose. Keep going mate, I love seeing the tough and frustrating rounds as much as the comfortable 5 under rounds you shoot elsewhere. Keep it real!

[@Maxscout24]

Exactly….I do too

[@kangajewrack]

You have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of, and I thank you for posting this and being transparent. Some of the best golfers in the world (JT, Rickie, etc) have rounds where they struggle to break 80 and feel like they’re never going to play well again. You’ve shown that you can play great golf. Keep your head up and remember what Paddy said. We’re all rooting for you!

[@andrewbarrow1983]

Yes but JT, Rickie etc.. can shoot 7 under on tougher courses the next day, It’s just different standard. That being said, it was just a bad day. Watching Rick and Pete’s regional qualifying vlogs just showed that the nerves were too much on the day. Not that we would be any different though I’m sure. The tour pro’s are just mentally built different. Good effort though Pete.

For me, the video you filmed with Padraig alone made the whole series worth it in terms of information you're passing on (but there was so much more as well). I'm sure the overwhelming majority of your subscribers would love you to try to qualify again next year but YOU have to be enjoying your golf as that's probably the most important message you can pass on to all of us. Really admire your honesty and bravery in putting this experience out there. Keep up the good work !

I walked round the course following you. The pressure must have been intense. Having seen the other KZbin golfers Open videos, it appears that you had a lot more people following you, which is testimony to the content you produce. The filming lads were a credit to you too. They didn't interfere and were happy to talk to everyone, as were you when things weren't going your way. Keep going Pete 💪🏻

I shoot so much better when on my own. Even playing with work mates I drop a ton of shots, let alone Open qualifier and loads of people. I'd encourage Pete to invite fans to watch next year's lead-up to qualifying. Get used to his fans and no doubt he'll be better with this Yr under his belt

This series has been must watch for me this year. I’m literally on vacation in Japan and was constantly checking for when the video would post. Super bummed that you had such a bad day. Mainly because you are such a great guy and I really rooted for you to do well. But, no matter what, I think the way you handled the quest to the open series has been top notch! Get ‘em next year!!

[@Iyamcole]

Man I think the fact that you feel an urge to give up trying for it based on the result is definitely a sign that you absolutely should try again in order to try to overcome. If anything, for your own sanity. I loved watching this series. Would be even more invested next year

[@Rdgp1]

Hi Pete, I've just watched the open qualifying video. It's a great video, an honest reflection, and provides insight into your round. I appreciate this is by no means the outcome that you wanted. Hearing you say you "hated yourself" for "letting people down" was tough! and would be disputed by every single person who went to watch and 99% of people who follow you on KZbin. I appreciate that this will inevitably add pressure, but the fear of letting people down and what others think of us will always negatively affect your ability to score. I understand this first hand, I suffered with everything you spoke about while playing professionally. Although it may not feel like it now, you are good enough and more than capable of qualifying. Keep going Pete, or there will always be that, "what if l'd stuck at it?"

[@matt3963]

Pete, seeing a golfer of your quality go through the same struggles, technically and mentally as us amateurs, while also talking it all through with your audience is very uplifting. Thanks for all the effort you put into entertaining your fans, we appreciate you. Bad days happen, your game is ever improving, you will be back better than ever. We believe!

[@glennwisse6271]

You are one of my favorites on youtube. Like so many others, I would encourage you to not give up on the open. Ive really enjoyed the series.

This is the MOST touching of all of your videos. You're right... Worst round at the worst time. I'm still insanely jealous of your golf swing. I stand on the course picturing your swing any time I'm feeling a little skittish. That has not changed one bit after watching this.

I've loved this series, but seeing how much you were clearly upset and struggling was tough! The way you wear your heart on your sleeve is one of the many reasons you're the only golf KZbinrs I regularly watch now, but if you're going through this much it's not fair on yourself!

[@mattcoulson1560]

I feel like this video is a really good insight for newer golfers who perhaps see a club pro / scratch handicap / plus handicap golfer play at their club and ask "why don't you go pro?". There's quite a leap from playing at your local club, or hitting shots on a simulator, and then turning it on when it matters in front of a crowd. It's really difficult to mimic / practise the nerves, pressure and mental side of competing in that manner. If it was easy - everyone would be doing it! I feel for Pete here given it's literally a "bad day at the office" - something nobody is exempt from (even tour pros!) - albeit at the worst time for him. Pete is a great golfer IMO and I hope he learns from this experience and continues to push himself as, even though it may be painful at times, it'll help develop his golf game. The talent and dedication to succeed is there - we've seen it in other videos / comps over the last 12 months - and with some sports psychology thrown in there I really think Pete can go on to do great things! Best of luck for the future

Competition at a high level is incredibly tough and seeing both sides of trying to be the best you can be in your field and the emotion that comes from all the successes and failures makes me admire these guys even more.

All the team have absolutely smashed this series, editing has been brilliant. Think u all deserve a spa break!

Your content and your channel stand out so uniquely superior to all others, the best golf channel on the whole internet. You are a fantastic golfer and we who watch you and support you are 100% behind you, wishing we could do more for you, because what you give to us is GOLD. Worth more than all other channels combined. You play real golf, really gritty mental stuff, and more than any other KZbin golfer, you have worked and improved yourself for us to see in ways that will remain inspirational. Take a breath, walk away for a head moment, come back, resilient like you have always been, taking on this phenomenon you have created, which we love, you.

Thank you for sharing Peter think every golfer knows what it's like to feel that way you're not alone

The quest series is awesome!! You have a dream to play in the Open and should never give that up, ever! I dream of having a round like the one you just played instead of being a super high handicap but some of the best rounds I’ve ever enjoyed I shot well over a 100 on 72’s but it was the experience and people I was with. That’s what makes it fun, the experience. Keep playing and getting better, we are all here for it!!!

Pete, your vulnerability is incredibly valuable and appreciated as often social media has a habit of putting a rose covered filter on everything. It’s refreshing to have a truthful human perspective. This whole community watches loyally because we want to follow along the journey with you, good or bad. Those of us who will never stand a chance at playing this level of competitive golf will still tune in for every quest because it gives us a slice of the journey, raw and honest. You’re playing some of the best golf I’ve seen you play this round excluded. Head up! Negative thinking is 100% effective. Whereas even feigning confidence unlocks our greatest potential more often. Thanks for sharing the journey and I’m looking forward to the next quest!

Thank you for putting yourself out there for our KZbin entertainment. I hope you do continue to try and qualify as it’s a great journey to watch.

Pressure is a privilege. Pete i love your content, and I look forward to seeing you in the next couple of years overcome your mental challenges! All power to you mate, keep up the content and keep pushing!

I’ve loved the series. You started with a great plan, and achievable steps to get through and ticked most of them off along the way - watching your progress was fabulous. You also had some stellar guests who helped you, and man!!, your golf is amazing to watch. I get nerves on the tee playing a regular club comp (not even a championship), or playing with people I don’t know 👀🤣, so I cannot begin to imagine the nerves involved in attempting to qualify for THE OPEN!!! So, here’s me in the comments, saying that I hope you keep going, that you try it again, and that you bring us along for the journey. Thankyou for giving us so much already 🤩⛳️

It's been a cracking series, and great watching you on this journey. Golf's tough and it's obvious that these pressured situations really can throw a spanner in the works. I'd love to see you develop your mindset over the next 12 months, and give it another go. You're obviously a cracking player. Can you conquer those nerves and show all of us some tips and tricks to lower the anxiety we all feel on the tee box.

I really feel for you mate. I’ve been watching the series and thoroughly enjoying it, and learning some things along the way! Chin up mate! You’re an inspiration to a lot of golfers!

This is so relatable.. Self-inflicted pressure and expectations affect you so much more in golf than in any other sport or game I know. Have struggled myself this year but last week seen a glimmer of decent play. Comp. today and it was back to a struggle. Score - 83😑. Keep it up Pete and go at it again. Just lower the expectations and the pressure next time

[@Rich-ey7jv]

I salute you! The most compelling golf video I've ever seen. Takes guts to lay it all out there. Never give up, Never surrender🖖

[@mattthorby9535]

It’s been a great series Peter and team. To see the effort you’ve put in and the improvements in the build up was so cool. Keep going!

[@BigCope216]

Pete, I've watched you for a while now. And I'll honestly say that you seem like such a genuine person who is in pursuit of his dream. I know you probably feel demoralized, asking what's the point of doing this Quest for the Open.... I'm just one guy, but I look forward to this every year now. The insight we get through you is truly invaluable. Please don't stop making these series and definitely put out your last episode. We all support you man, and we are living this quest through you. Keep it up, you've got all the support in the world and we all truly appreciate the time and effort it takes to put these episodes out.
