I played the #1 Golf Course in IRELAND

[@Mr.M1STER]

Best of luck to Phillip on his journey to become a pilot. Seems like a quiet, unassuming and likeable chap.

[@niallchurch2679]

That what you you want your pilot to be if you have serious problems up in the sky!

[@gregknowsbest]

Obviously rich as well, cost about 50,000 to train as an airline pilot 👍

I played college golf at Illinois State in the early 90s. My Junior year we took our Spring Break trip to the SW coast of Ireland. The day after shooting 74 at Waterville in 30mph winds, we played Ballybunion... Constant sideways rain in 40-50mph gusts. Truly unplayable conditions. My foursome had to make a 3 man wall to block the wind on the elevated 13th tee to just be able to stand up to hit our drives. We decided to skip 14-17 and walked to 18 to finish. If I'd kept score and finished the round I don't think I would have broken 110. Such a gorgeous course and a nightmare playing memory. Thank you so much for sharing this video so I could look back at the true beauty of this magnificent golf course. Tom Watson says it's his favorite course in the world.

[@jonparker8440]

Best golf content on You Tube bar none, can’t understand why you don’t get many times the likes and subscribers… keep up the great work guys 👏🏼

[@kyleprice7846]

First thing I noticed was the Irish colors off the drive tracer on the first tee box. love those little details. Keep up the amazing content Pete

[@JackiePalmerGolf]

My late grandfather would tell me stories of playing here, that would’ve been for him, in the 80’s I imagine.. a few years back he gave me his course ball-marker he had kept all those years.. He said he played horribly and that it was a hard course lol.. I enjoyed watching this and picturing him out there hacking away..

[@Joe-fk4dy]

Nice comment - good memories

[@alberthancock672]

Looks like a great course…too bad we didn’t get to see it!

[@ruatoomey9107]

I played Enniscrone a few years ago in the month of April. We got sun , clouds, wind, rain, hail , sleet and snow and THEN, we moved on to the second hole😂😂😂. And I’m actually not even joking . My two favorite links courses are Waterville and Enniscrone, both on the Wild Atlantic Way but miles apart. Love the videos

[@Johnobrien27]

My Dad had life membership of Ballybunion from early 70s and i have been privileged to play there many times over the years its such a special place that any golfer should really try and visit atleast once in their lifetime.

[@seandoran2209]

@@Johnobrien27 If you tried to play that track without a caddy you would spend hours looking for your golf ball . Phillip was a great walking talking GPS.

[@Kedbuka]

Peter wanting a hug from his caddie after his excellent drive on the 13th was really funny. Phillip was a good sport. These videos are so well done. Very enjoyable.

[@robinroth7175]

That course looked amazing. The video quality and those drone shots put a lot of tv productions to shame. Best of luck to Philip on his journey.

[@leewoodard5871]

Spent my teenage years playing Ballybunion. One Xmas stayed at the house you can see in the 4th fairway. Xmas morning as dinner being cooked, went and played till dinner was ready. Great memories.

[@cianeire7194]

The tip you gave at 46:08 is genius so simple but makes so much sense watches every minute of it and the bromance was exquisite 👌⛳️

[@OliD95]

One of my greatest golf experiences in my life! Played it 2016. Amazing views, That’s what Links Golf is all about. I enjoyed every second of this video!

[@davidrabian1281]

I must say Peter, you and your crew do THE BEST job of presenting each hole of a course. The aerials are just wonderful every course. Cheers to you all and hope that back loosens up.

[@delhump22]

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this before, but it's worth mentioning - I LOVE the 80s vibe music for both record breakers and like, during the drone footage, etc. I don't know where you guys find this stuff bit it's excellent haha keep it up

[@SigmaJAD]

Pete posesses a beautifully smooth swing. Same as the video - beautifully shot and produced. This channel is top notch

[@lDarkhorsel]

Your videos are so great Pete! You and your team do the highest quality content and editing. The drone and camera work, the graphics and overlays, it's all just top notch stuff. Hope you enjoy The Open this week! You're killing it, Pete! 💪🏼 Edit: If I were you, I wouldn't worry myself too much with trying to diagnose swing troubles here. As others have mentioned, you just seemed like you were trying to deal with quite a bit of tightness in your back. Looked like it maybe kept you from committing all the way on certain shot types this round. Still a solid round, nothing to apologize for here.

[@leenihill2188]

Played here this morning my father in law is a member and I'm waiting myself for a call for membership. Best of luck Phillip on your journey and the you yourself peter your video did do this course justice

[@garydavis8213]

Wow. Didn’t think a course could be better than Old Head, but BB has done it. Nice round, Pete and well done and good luck to young Phillip!

[@peterandresen328]

Congratulations on a fantastic edit of an unbelievable vlog . Humour, drama, dialogue and mind blowing scenery. Thank you ❤

[@jamesmclaughlin3419]

It was funny watching the panic set in at the start of the round when the realisation hit that it could end up as a cricket score. But, fair play, it was a good battle to get it back on track and post a respectable score on what is a proper track. Great video. The whole Irish series has been a superb watch.

[@diggerlenny4836]

It's funny. I thought this was like more of the 'old Pete' not playing wise,just how he was mentally and his reactions to the shots. Lately I thought he's been way more chilled and probably more importantly golf wise going along a shot at a time. I know content creators have to talk as they play but it's gotta be a distraction. It's as if the more shots go astray the longer the next shot description gets. Can't be easy to play savage at same time always too. What a track tho🤩

[@Thealmostaveragegolfer]

good luck Phil, have a blast. What another beautiful course in Ireland

[@alasdairbruce6556]

Production values are next level. Well done, Peter and team. It's like watching golf Top Gear (that's intended as a compliment lol)

[@TheAngelis316]

Truly amazing looking course with some of the most astounding views ever seen. Best wishes philip the sky is not the limit it is just the beginning.

[@hegwah2957]

Tough course but wasn't even blowing or raining.🤷🏼‍♂️ Very Lucky to get those conditions on the day you were there. We played it last May and the weather was v wet and windy. Without the Fore Caddy we wouldn't of had such a great experience.👍🏼

[@dylanrobinson2290]

Least you didn’t shank it on the 18th and hit the pro shop window 😂😂😂 I’ll never forget it 🙈

[@gerardoconnor7148]

You’re playing way better than you give yourself credit for especially around not just difficult tests in Irish courses but on a global level , Ballybunion is a tricky tough but wonderful experience well done

[@patrickfitzgibbon4914]

I played here just last weekend in a local interclub match.. What an amazing course, some unbelievable shots.. It's a mental and physical test. Breathtaking experience all the same. Class video 🇮🇪

[@merocaine]

I had a complimentary round here, after not playing for about 5 years at least. Rekindled my love for the game, been playing regular ever since.

Great to see you in Ireland again, Pete. Hope you enjoyed your stay beyond the course too. Ballybunion looks tremendous in that video.

[@marvinbluedorn3321]

What a beautiful looking golf course! Immaculate! And when it comes to the lower back pain Peter, I can absolutely relate. Every round I struggle to keep it together with every swing. May be time to go get it seriously checked out my man.

[@bamber7129]

Well Peter let’s hope Phillip lands his planes on his runways better than you found fairways otherwise he will be in trouble. What a course fantastic views . Good luck Phillip on your ventures 👍🏻😊

[@kipkline8101]

Really enjoyed you pushing the ball out to the rough so we could get better views of the water as your shot hit the greens. Way to take one for the team Pete😊

[@Brian-wb7uv]

Best advice an old golfer can give you Peter: If you have the time to do a run, or to do stretching and flexibility work, do the latter. Also: My lower back was a problem until I really worked on lengthening my hamstrings.

[@kevinconnolly754]

Good Advice

[@NewfieMaster]

Ok, you've done Lahinch, Old Head, and Ballybunion. All I need to see is Waterville and you've replicated my Irish tour! Love your videos as they capture the courses way better than any of my camera shots could.

[@markadams6854]

With a swing that pure it is amazing you are always under par. Of course you never seem to place the same course twice. That’s not easy either . Love to watch 🎉

[@peterfinchgolf]

What an absolutely amazing looking course. I'm only at hole 7 and this is already bucket-list worthy!!!

[@neilmechem4576]

Played here in March 1990. 3 of us with handicaps of 5, 11 and 13 had one par between us. The starter couldn’t believe we went out and played. Despite that it was probably one of the most enjoyable rounds we’ve ever played

[@seandoran2209]

Ballybunion GC is gorgeous even in the rain.The town has pubs that are old style, bringing you back in time. Go if you can.❤

The best part of this video was the drone footage of the course which looks spectacular! We hardly saw any of it during this round....LOL!! I do feel like an expert on the Ballybunion rough ! 😂

[@JJ_Khailha]

Suffering is the need for things to be different to the way they are. A double bogey cannot be anything other than a double bogey. That is the perfection you're looking for. It has always been this way.

[@chrisdusik6097]

[@holmer9413]

Pete, I gotta say that all my best rounds start with pars, birdies, or eagles. My last skins game on our little executive course started with an eagle in fact. It didn't win the skin, but it saved it. I shot 8 under with just a single bogie on the card. The moral of the story is play a shorter course. 😂
