Padraig Harrington had you thinking about the psychological side of things, I would love to see you engage a sports psychologist in the same way someone would go to Dan Grieve for a chipping lesson. You wouldn’t need to do months with them, and you wouldn’t need to film it, just do this podcast at the end of the journey and describe what impact it had. You can still film the events as usual, which we all love, but I think we’d all love it if you got through next time round too. End of the day though, love the content, whatever you decide just go do it!!

Peter Finch is way better golfer than Garrett. Garrettis all over the place but scrambles well.

If you’re planning a golf trip just come to the south of Ireland. You got old head, tralee, ballybunion, Lahinch, Waterville and dooks all links within 2 hours of 1 central point. Also have Killarney and fota which are Irish open parkland courses and adare manor which is hosting the Ryder cup. Probably in forgetting a few aswell

Back in the day tour pros would used steel shafted clubs that were made darker to look like Graphite shafts.

Basically just said everything they do is marketing and the actual difference is absolutely marginal..

The Irish Tourist Board will be delighted with you. Glad I played at least one of them, well just one! Pricing is an issue at some of them; they are not for the ordinary bloke who thinks paying north of, and well north in some cases, £200 for a round of golf is ott over the kids. I would much prefer a list of the best courses that welcome everybody and not just the high rolling yanks.

You can’t drop onto the green.

Imagine Pete owes US tax on his content related to US locations? Seems like a tax nightmare…

In other words, even pros haven’t a clue about what fitters are recommending.

Should be allowed to play as they are pros . However filming should be from a distance via mobiles not big camera in respect for the other golfers. The question is , would they enter for the golf if they didn’t get content. I very much doubt it.

@jacob - you can laugh at the idea of scammers doing this for tee times, but do the math. It’s ridiculously lucrative. Figure the scammers tack on $50 to every $200 foursome they sell, and the average course here will do between 50 and 60 tee times a day (5 an hour) That’s between $2500 and $3000 pure profit for a single golf course. Just LA City golf has 6 18 hole courses… now the scammers are making 15 to 20k a day. And that’s just one business’ 18 hole courses.

It’s funny I live in Rhode Island. Was playing a round when one of the guys I was playing with said it happened. Funny stuff, I think the odds would be even higher considering most courses don’t have 2 par 3s in a row.

Pretty shitty clowning a man like that especially when you cant do better. It just wasn't cool to do the guy that way. Didn't appreciate that

That's why he's the 🐐

This story is completely 100%BS.

Brilliant. Sounds unrealistic but what he's saying makes sense

the rarity comes less from the odds of a hole in one but from how few courses have back to back par 3s. There are two methods of calculating the odds due to the nature of the numbers provided by the PGA - 1/3000 for a single ace, 1/67'000'000 for a double - I can't make sense of the correlation so we'll divide the 67 million number by the number of cases a back to back can occur. There are six cases in which a double ace can occur. In three of them the aces are back to back (discounting the non par-3s between them) assuming all 4 par3s are back to back: 1 in 134 million. assuming 3 back to back par3s: 1 in 201 million. assuming only two of the par 3s are back to back: 1 in 402 million. I can't find a number for how many courses have back to back par 3s but multiple the odds by the ratio of courses with back to back par 3s and you'll see why this has never happened before. NB my maths might be very wrong, it's 11 at night and I didn't think very hard about it.

1/603,000,000’ish

"Influencers" is a strong term. PGA tour players influence me. PGA teaching Pros influence my golf game. Most RUclipsrs provide recreational viewing. and if you want to play in "opens qualifiers" - then play!

It's calculable but not worth the effort of working out all the variables

Portmarnock overrated. Check out the European club in Wicklow

You made them waste a load of money on legal action.

Should try the US open qualy

X100 and S400 are nearly identical weight and flex. A few shots on the range and you'd adapt pretty quickly. Btw sergio is a douche

He just never ever missed putts when he needed it

Surprised by all the comments about not trying anymore. I think the series can be even better. The prep videos are great for anyone getting ready to play well. Seeing an actual event is great for the viewer to see how hard it is to play under pressure. Sure silly videos are fun as well, but this is great content to see into the mind of the golfer trying to play well in comps. Most golfers don't get to see this side of professionals.

Doesn’t take money, just bit coin

He will continue it, but he shouldn’t. It’s just got embarrassing.

Having played all the course listed in Ireland, Carne Golf Clubs new 18 layout actually trumps all of them, knowhere near the championship condition of the others but the layout is just unreal.

These comments are wild. Y’all need to grow up.

I think you said before starting the round you would probably need to score -3.......that mindset had me worried for you.

There’s nothing like old head

That thumbnail is *chef's kiss*

Do you not think having a caddie that could double up as a media guy,. But his main priority is to reduce the mental aspect, 2 peeps agreeing on a shot makes it a lot easier

Pete’s defining success bit and everyone’s reacation to it killed me off 😂😂😂😂

Great to hear you'll try again Pete - can't believe this wasn't your year - all the best for next year.

if you ever see pete on course he will lie to you good to know

Give me a shout next year and can come and be your cuddle caddie…..😂

Pete loved the build up, love the idea of having a real caddie for open qualifying ( Maybe even try and grab Rickie and have you guys split up the 9's for putting videos out). To help with the pressure maybe not have the guys live blogging it to take some of the pressure off your self and help relax a bit more. Also why not the week or two b4 qualifying play some easier courses to help the confidence leading in and not playing in windy a$$ Ireland. Ps. lets not go dragging the Steven WIlliams's threw the dirt 🤣😂

so not had enough then?

It's easy to film, make a video with a tour pro who deals with this pressure week in and week out. They have a trigger, a switch that allows them to stand over the ball and think one thing and one thing only, TARGET. Final qualifying was another level of focus, dodberry was outstanding. Karl Morris spoke about triggers to switch on and off, Zen golf spoke about clearing your mind and letting negative thoughts come and go. Margins for error at that level are so small, a single bad thought over a shot can cost you a place in the Open. You have to keep putting yourself in that pressure situation and find a way to deal with it. Thats why great caddies give you clear triggers before a shot. #nevergiveup

I hated the qi10 max driver. The shape is horrendous. The “core” is so much better imo. But of course Rory ain’t using no max. That dude needs the lowest spinning driver possible. He hits a missile

The bad rounds can still be good content, and entertaining. It's a different kind of entertainment, but literally every person watching can relate to a bad round. That is golf.

Please keep it going for next year. It would be a shame to let the lessons learned go to waste.

Talk to Matty boom boom

Book to consider and would recommend - ‘Perform under pressure’ by Dr Ceri Evans, as a coach all be it in a different sport, I’m a keen golfer, the mental side of sport is often the difference. Great to see you commit to going for the open again, looking forward to watching how you go as you move forward.

Who really cares what this okay golfer does? Still not over it?

Pete I will be honest, the quest for the open was interesting and also disappointing you didn't get to the next stage. You have as much right to try and qualify as anybody else. Im sure as a team you will have looked at the analytics and seen that the views are up etc etc. Your business is making content and ultimately earning a living from that and in my opinion you are head and shoulders above a lot out there. You must always be looking to change, diversify etc for the business to grow and I'm sure your team's role is to help and influence that for you. Keep being Pete but maybe pivot away from the open quest for a couple of years and do something fresh that keeps us engaged. Too many RUclipsrs don't do that and then see themselves struggle. It's a tough gig as you know so keep it fresh and you will grow.

Pete . The challenge is , we are going for the open. We play every shot. We hurt every mistake, we cry with you and we love every success. Love your videos please keep them coming. Have you ever thought of using a caddy? Just a counter to bounce ideas off. ? Oh your team are saying the same. Maybe I should watch the whole video first. ? 😊

Keep it going really is inspiring and a lot of knowledge on the game of golf and how to prepare
