Pete vs Two ELITE disability golfers | Brendan Lawlor vs Joakim Björkman vs Peter Finch

[@Ben-cn4hm]

The comments section proves this is an awesome community 👍👍

[@peterfinchgolf]

I agree

[@chadcook3709]

If all of social media was so kind. Some would find it boring, I’d find it enjoyable and relaxing like this.

[@alexanderhill5835]

Thank you for this video Peter. My son is 19 and has a very rare form of dwarfism which causes a number of other health problems. He has dabbled with golf over the years but can no longer walk around the course and was not sure it was a sport worth sticking with. Your video has helped him to see that golf is a sport that he could play with anyone and is worth continuing with.

[@peterfinchgolf]

Amazing to hear and if he ever want to reach out to Joakim or Brendan I’m sure they’ll be happy to chat

[@brendanlawlordisabilitygol2951]

Hi Alexander, take it from me, golf is definitely a sport worth sticking with! There are so many ways to get around a course other than walking. Stick at it!

[@ericl9781]

This is awesome, please highlight more of the lesser known groups within golf. Our community is more than just able bodied athletes

[@peterfinchgolf]

Agreed and I will for sure

Im legitimately blown away by how much golf you played and filmed in Dubai.

[@adg1017]

No exaggeration, I just about got choked up with this whole thing. 1. Their level of play is incredible compared to ANY golfer. 2. You having them on to feature their abilities and not disabilities is class and truly gives me a whole new level of respect for you. 3. (The thing that got me...) What if this video reaches some disabled kid out there who, like me, didn’t know about this tour and it inspires them to follow in these guys’ footsteps? Wow... just wow. ❤️❤️❤️ from 🇺🇸

[@tedgtou]

Wow. These gentlemen got skill. Their putting is awesome. KZbin golf creators needs to feature these tour players more. Thank you Peter for showcasing these find gentlemen. 👍👍👍

[@savaged]

I've never seen anyone put more of themselves into a swing and still have accuracy than Joakim! Awesome. And Brendan's finish is very Luke Donald-esk. These guys are good! It would be great to see more of this at the next paralympics; lets hope.

Absolutely brilliant content Pete, so much admiration to you for bringing it to our attention, but more admiration to these 2 guy's who have overcome their disabilities to take on the "able-bodied" and win. Congratulations all three. Well done.

[@nickolaspickering5059]

I really enjoy the attention you are bringing to golf outside of the PGA tour. I hope it inspires support beyond awareness for these amazing golfers and the game.

[@AB-ou4hl]

Been a subscriber for years. Probably my favourite video of yours!

[@coreyhansberry9784]

More content like this. Glad to see you showcase these guys as top athletes. Disabilities don’t define people but we shouldn’t be afraid to talk about it. As a father of a son who happens to have a disability I appreciated seeing this kind of content.

Mr Finch, can I just say, what a fantastic video. Its about time the involvement of all walks of life are shown to show wgat an inclusive game golf is. I played a lot of my golf with a guy who lost his leg in a motor cycle accident who played off 3. Sadly he is is no longer with us but to see people from all walks of life enjoying the game makes me think he would be proud. Keep up the good work lad. And they said nothing good would come out of Lancashire. 👌👌👌👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋

I've played with a one-legged golfer twice now. Same man both times. Both times were at Eagle Eye Golf Club in East Lansing, Michigan. He worked at the club and was friends with by buddie who is a PGA pro that also worked there. The course is a Pete Dye design that plays 7300 yards, 145 slope, and a 76 rating. Dude broke 80 both times. Most impressive golf I have ever seen in person.

This is why we love the game so much. Golf is the ultimate leveler. You can modify a golf course (or not) in many ways to allow all levels of golfer to enjoy playing. These guys are playing at a very high level and it's great that there is a tour that allows them to compete. Every athlete wants that pressure of competition. Would love to see a video on how the game is similar and how it is different for these players. Also numbers off a launch monitor as they seems to be clubbing fairly close to standard height players.
