Watch me get DESTROYED by the 2024 Open Course..

[@arijoseph2282]

"You really have to avoid the rough and bunkers". "Let me bash this driver." LOL

[@tobyw9724]

Just had acl surgery, sat watching this making my recovery a lot better. Thanks Pete

[@peterfinchgolf]

No worries, get well soon ❤

[@jamesrowe3606]

Royal Troon can humble any golfer in the world. I used to play my golf at the public courses in Troon and even they were ferocious, especially when the wind blew, which was always. It's what golf's about.

[@scottal]

No matter the score always a pleasure watching that smooth swing. Cheers Peter

[@peterfinchgolf]

Not so smooth here 😂

[@akme1974]

Just the driver was off. Rest was clean, especially the wedges

[@jamescameron314]

He has indeed got a smooth swing, but sadly little golfing nous.

[@dinsdalephotography]

If I shot 81 on that course I'd be doing cartwheels! We've all had days like that but you held up better than most, especially with a camera in your face all day. Keep up the great content Peter! You rock.

[@parnyberg6088]

Yes anyone who has ever played golf knows that these days come sometimes! You are doing well and keep fighting! Really like your videos! Thanks Peter!

[@michaelking2118]

Pete, I don’t understand how you don’t have more subscribers! You are the best personality in you tube. I think you need to make some trips to America

[@dennisjohnston1187]

I played Royal Troon in June last year and it was my favorite course on my trip to Scotland. I loved every minute of my day. Seven rounds in seven days, what place. My happy place is Scotland and I think about it everyday. Thanks for taking me back.

[@TheShootingBrake]

Thanks for sharing the downs along with the ups. Enjoyed watching.

[@johnalexander9383]

Very comforting to see someone as good as you zig zagging their way from tee to green, makes it a whole lot more real for us high handicappers. BTW i think you and Rick should do a golf bidder challenge with high handicapper clubs.

[@deliveryboy555]

I know it was a challenging round for you score wise but it's great to watch you playing these courses and enjoying yourself where you can. We're all learning seeing you play, keep up the great work as always.

[@St0cky21]

The deafening silence of your playing partners during the bunker fiasco 😅

[@peterfinchgolf]

Killed me 😂

[@fluffpuckot]

I played Royal Troon in May! Such a similar experiences we had. Started of with a lovely drive, made par on the first. Then it started to get hard, and then most of the rest of the holes just ganged up on me and said 'Lad, you need moore practice, you are not ready for this fight!' and left me with some scars to remember the fight by... Granted, it was my second round outside this season. Before the trip I watched the "movie" they made with just Henrik and Phil's shots, and some commentary, I played it in a simulator. But I was not prepared for how undulated it really is. I thought some tee-shots from the yellows were intimidating, can't imagine them from the black, but then again I play of 8 handicap. The cameras don't give credit to how tight those fairways are, I left my driver in the bag on a lot of holes just to hit the fairway. I'm surprised you let it rip on almost every hole, finding some awful lies. It is an amazing course, I really enjoyed being there, and I hope to play it again, perhaps a bit further into the season!

[@thewildbill86]

Mr. Finch, I think it says and shows much more of you as a golfer and as an ambassador or golf, that you accept your poorer moments and let the average golfer see it, than some of the channels I see that ONLY hit good shots and oooonly have low scores. Thanks for being real.

[@livvyjambo]

Burst out laughing whilst in the works canteen when you said "good nine putt" after the 6th hole, tremendous sarcasm! 😂

[@JasonkmLi]

Just goes to show how important driving accuracy is. When Pete was approaching from the fairways, he was tap in pars. But coming from the rough meant a tough up and down, scrambling for pars resulting in bogeys most of the time. All of that stemming from wayward drives.

[@diggerlenny4836]

Leaking too many out right. How hard is it to hit the ball straight😅

[@granttash3255]

They way you turned round on the 11th hole and said “unless I chip in” was priceless. 😂

[@nozza87]

Absolutely love this series! What driver are you using? Thought Stealth 2 was in the bag?

[@wes9588]

Me, last year: -3 through 6. +2 through 9. Feeling good. Long confident strides. Big smile. Then…omg. +6 back nine. ((With two birdies)). #beastofacourse #lullsyouin #golfishard Terrific video series, brother!

[@maxwellmccloy9450]

Thankyou Peter for helping me overcome the anguish I felt from shooting 85 there as a scratch golfer. One of us one of us!

[@gregoryciesla542]

You’re always entertaining Peter even when you’re not at your best. Thanks for the early preview of Royal Troon!

[@christiankell6074]

Peter this course was a great test of skill for sure. Quite beautiful as well. These are some of my favorite videos to watch.

[@peterandresen328]

What a prime example of a golfers day , huge joy massive disappointment we call fun. Thanks again for showing us.

[@126miles]

Your most honest round and content good pace, keep the interaction with you playing partners

[@diggerlenny4836]

I was tryin to figure out if that was the shape you were hitting the driver or were u leaking them to the right. You were crunching the ball but just barely getting out of position. Great vid and brill to watch,really enjoyed it cus never will get to experience places like that

[@3nCounting]

Great video and a fun watch! This type of content rings true with all of us. We relate to the struggles, the collapses, the hope that is the back 9 (until it begins) and the overall emotional rollercoaster that is GOLF... the nastiest of ALL four-letter words (and yet so beautiful). She's my mistress. On another note, who are you playing with? Who's the jovial and socially rambunctious stocky, bald guy? What a cheerful delight he must've been to play with! It seemed he got happier as your score started going up. I seem to recognize Hannah... from Rick Shiels maybe? "Beth"... now she's a hottie...

[@bonarius]

Can’t stop watching the bit………. Unless I chip in 😂😂😂

[@brianh8801]

Those par 5’s were brutal…I feel your pain! I go in thinking easy par, potential birdie, miracle eagle…then have the wheels fly off hitting every tree and bunker along the way! If there was a tree 4 inches in diameter in route…I’d manage to put myself in position and find a way to hit it!

[@natpaul81]

The carnage on 6 is relatable. Kudos to Peter for gutting it out and not creatively editing the video.

[@andywolstenholme2822]

Would love to see Royal St David’s. Only time I played there was in horrible stormy weather. Into the wind (opposite to normal prevailing), a par 4 was a driver. 1Iron. 5Iron!

[@davidgeorge5344]

It's great watching you and Mr Shiels on course. Makes me feel so much better about my game 😂.

[@blainesledge]

Watching Pete fail to break 80 is somehow far more pleasant than watching Rick blow past it. Can’t even put my finger on why.

[@garyroberts3859]

I played Royal Troon in 1987 with a pro from America who was over for the British senior open.. I was a 5 marker from Australia. First nine down wind 34. Back 9 , into the wind 43, I’ll take 77 any day on an open course. Played twice on the old course that trip, 78, 80.

[@leegibbons2521]

Only two types of end describe that,DEAD and BELL . Shocking course management Pete-but what a fun watch 😂

[@TheGolfingCrowe]

went to this area of Scotland for a trip a couple of months ago, played the prestwick courses. But I agree with you about the Troon clubhouse, it has an uncanny look and feel to it. The guys in the shop were really nice too

[@The_Madd_Golfer]

What a fun video to watch. I especially loved your playing partners! Hannah and Mia must have been great to play with. An enjoyable round regardless of the final score.

[@davidlargen31]

Be pretty cool to do a video series of if i was on vacation in the UK. 1. Golf course, play and history of the course and about the town, village or city. 2. Accommodations. Where you stayed. 3. Where you had lunch or dinner or pub. 4. Local attractions near or around the course you played. Maybe vist a castle, a hike, beach or town festival. Something that someone visiting might do if in the area. None of these has to be long drawn out just a taste of the local fare. Just a thought...

[@adamwright4638]

Great course, had my 1st hole-in-one on the 5th in May. Absolutely buzzing!! Unbelievable.

[@DrAndrewBeachum]

I just died laughing, while in the office, when you hit it into the bunker on the par 3, fifth hole. Your reaction is all of us. hahaha

[@svenhallauer3229]

Hi Peter,I love this type of content. Please keep it coming. Question for you: Do you think the big grips you're using would help with golfers elbow?

[@Clubchucker826]

We all have an ‘off’ round. Tbh, I’d be happy if my ‘off’ round was just one damn hole. But, for me, one bad hole carries to the next and to the next and next thing I know I shoot 90. And that’s just on a local public course. Props to you for playing some of the toughest courses in the world and still being so positive when you’ve played a tough round. Looking forward to more videos. Keep ‘em coming!

[@frazercook7213]

Great video. Pretty funny in places, and brilliantly edited.

[@gman6861]

Loved it Pete. A bit like watching myself when everything just goes Pete Tong out of nowhere 😂 Golf really knows how to kick you in the nuts 😅

[@mikesmedlund1694]

I absolutely love the passive-aggressive behavior. That is how all golfers good or bad feel most of the time when things go South. I had the great pleasure of playing "Royal" Troon in a gale with spitting rain. Played great on the front nine then, as you know, the back nine is almost always into the prevailing wind. Limped in 38-45 and exhibited the same passive-aggressive aggressive behavior as you. So much so that the group behind felt sorry for me and attempted to console me in the clubhouse. I love the content. Get that power fade back with the driver and 60's are in sight!!

[@ianaustin3100]

Hi Pete and team from NZ. Love the Royal vids and Troon is my favourite location too. Just a thought, if you got another similar headcover for your 3 you could call them Mac and Tosh.

[@jamesdawes690]

It’s lucky your a funny guy Pete coz ur golf is making me weep 🤣🤣🤣🤣 great vid mate

[@davroshalfbeard8368]

Canny wait in the ballot for tickets just 40 minutes down the road for us .spoiled for good courses in Ayrshire 🙂

[@sassteve1971]

Super smooth swing Pete 👊 Great video! Cheers

[@roberttaylor1801]

What a great venue. With the wind its at best harsh at worst punishing. I reckon it got the better of you today. 10 over around there, you got off light.

[@charlesgalbraith7970]

Enjoyed watching the video. Shows why, just when one thinks it's a 'gentle' start and the course has perhaps lulled the player into the classic 'false sense of security', RT's bunkers, rough, undulating fairways and tough greens (and surrounds) can bite the player hard and not let go 😰😱. It's a fabulous place to play the wonderful game. My one question for you though Peter would be - why as such a big hitter - are you playing the course off the yellow tees? I'd have thought white tees would be a more appropriate test for yourself?

[@joelafives]

I had to laugh out loud at your reaction on the second bunker shot at the 6th.

[@ajtovar1623]

"Get off it wind". Flag sitting dead still. 😂 Pete somehow manages to play amazing golf and simultaneously deliver the plight of the average golfer. I love it.

[@dansnowman29]

"solid 9", Been there brother. I love these videos. It's real.

[@doggoronnie3387]

Great video, love the content as always, one of my fave channels. Some feedback would be to have more matches on your channel, the one with carter and match against Kieran were so good. Keep up the great work, also a huge fan of the podcast and won some money on Jacobs stats research!

[@alasdairkelly]

You keep mentioning Arran, when are you going to play and film over there? I'll happily give you a local's perspective on Whiting Bay.

[@ryanmoore7341]

Whiting Bay is next course I'm playing wen I come over only 1 haven't played yet

[@stevencowan1788]

Thanks Pete, I feel better about my game now, golf is a humbling activity 😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⛳

[@hallumm]

I really liked the graphics for your scorecard. The yellow theme looked very nice.

[@robbaldock3193]

Pete, thank you for showing us real golf, these are the sort of videos we like watching. proves that pros are human, when it comes to golf

[@dpezza5]

That...."if I chip in" comment was pure gold!

[@jeffwatt2627]

You’ve maybe mentioned it before, but I noticed you don’t have a jumbo grip on at least one of your wedges. Is there any reason why not ? Feel ? Oh and Hamish for the head cover.

[@brettwebster2268]

Love what you and the team do Pete and love how much of an advocate you are for Scotland without even mentioning the golf. If I remember correctly, you still have a week of golf to play up my way in Aberdeen… I believe there’s still a back 9 that’s screaming to be finished and a certain 18 holes that your dodgy internal satnav cruelly denied you the chance of playing. Also in regards to the new headcover… Wallace the Westie or Tam the Terrier, you can thank me later.

[@samwilson1626]

Very golfer has one of those days Peter where we as golfers can't catch a break good course and keep your head up brother and keep up the great work cheers mate

[@xXcharliegoonerXx]

Would love to play this course! Glad I saw you with the Good Good boys ❤

[@anothergolfchannel]

quality of content on this channel is sooooooooo good

[@dg-wq4py]

Think im off to Swansea for a coffee 😂

[@craigfurlong1840]

Great to watch this after watching the third round today - you played the 11th a lot better than some big names.... (OK - not off the very tips, I know).

[@locobenno9435]

Golf always wins Pete, even when we're playing good..and that's golf...cheers

[@alancumming6407]

I've played the course a few times. It is a superb course but really tough. One round was in a really windy day and the rain came on at the 10th. It was absolutely brutal coming in.

[@cozyslor]

Leaking right off the tee all day Finchie

[@markrushforth6212]

What happened to the jumbomax grip on your driver? changing back?

[@johnhoie-hj7cg]

Beautiful course. For me, what was illuminating was the fact that a good golfer shot ten over par playing from 6,200 yards. It looks like we should all move up at least one tee.

[@alistairmcgregor8820]

The weather was kind to you that day.

[@dyn4mic87]

I have to say I prefer these compact videos a lot. Tough front 9 some great recovery shots on the back 9 though

[@billchristie5407]

Hey Pete, I love these videos don't even know what I would shoot therr. But I can tell you it would be horrendous. 😄😄

[@jeffbates5401]

Pete love these videos and the courses you are playing. Troon is a open course for a reason. We all have off days. You played good just had some bad luck.

[@mrhyde1314]

Nice one Pete can relate to this one 😂

[@fredrikdepomian4216]

Love your vids, Peter! Keep it up.❤

[@peterfinchgolf]

Thank you! Will do!

[@terryanderson8720]

When you increased your distance, you increased your chances of hitting it farther into trouble....just part of the game...hang tight...you got this 😊

[@Malc180s]

Solid, smart, level par.....then a birdie, guaranteed follow-up bogie and a bad drive. Pretty sure I've watched this one before.

[@golffellas1401]

@ peter Finch, unrelated to the video, in all your club reviews, have you ever seen a slant neck, mallet armlock putter?

[@simonwallis84]

Head cover surely has to be Hamish? Think the 9 messed with your mind,steady up to that. Still one of the best KZbin golfers out there. Small margins at a premium course and the shots rank up

[@BenM2912]

Great content as always! Keep up the good videos!!

[@Mr.M1STER]

The front 9 was not terrible if you eradicate the 6th from your memory. I think you needed that wee pen from Men In Black that erases people's memory and give everyone a quick zap before walking off the 6th green.

[@peterfinchgolf]

That 6th green is impossible to erase 😂

[@gav2759]

Recording your game for for the world to see is utterly incompatible with my own selective memory method of golf... I would defo leave a couple of bats behind to make room for a neuralyser.

[@Handletaken4]

Scoring is hard in Scotland because the ball frequently breaks uphill. I'd like to see you play 2 balls. One as you see fit and the other with one of four clubs (4i, 8i, 54, P).

[@nicholassenese5647]

The course looks awesome and I sincerely hope that I get tickets to next years open

[@denniskillian2204]

Entertaining to Watch and you are a good sport.

[@wjf1967]

A great watch. Just one of those days - wonderful course.

[@johnobrien5011]

Well done Pete another great video, keep up the good work. Always nice to see other people struggling with their game at times and that it’s not just me. All the travelling you do to other courses/ countries, I wish you would come to the west of Ireland were I am from. Come play the course I caddy at, Trump International Doonbeg. One of the best links courses you will ever play, trust me it’s worth the trip.

[@Osiris1971]

How about Duncan the dog, Sir Rory, the ruff? Anyway, love the content keep it coming. Cheers!🏌🍻

[@kevinmontgomery1054]

Your front 9 looks very much like my score card. I play 8 decent holes with 1 blow up. My big question is: how to avoid the melt down hole?

[@KeithBurson437]

Tough, but always worth watching. Great course.

[@randelldanner8588]

That putter will break your shin I just got the Exo lab with the same shaft. Feels like swinging a sledge hammer.

[@Kricke303]

Laughably bad, you got the feeling. Still better than my personal best. LOL

[@Tom9Rocky]

Pete you do make me laugh with that dry banter you have lol

[@mikealessi7761]

Peter how about calling the dog Amish like the character from Braveheart. I would love to play a round w/ Pete and get instruction on the way through the round. When did you switch to a Callaway Paradym?

[@michaelsalemi1754]

Peter, why the mixed bag of grips?

[@anthayward1675]

Still a dream land score for most of us. Just frustrating when you know you can do better. Keep the course videos coming
