Hey everyone. Thank you for taking the time to watch me get a handicap!! Appreciate the support everyone has given to the channel ❤️
Thank YOU for the awesome content!
Great video! I watch a lot of golf on TH-cam but nothing beats a Peter Finch course vlog
Peter content is always awesome but been looking back at old videos and one thing i noticed is since you have switched your putting grip your not as consistent. What lead to the change in the first place?
Peter Finch, please watch this: th-cam.com/video/5MuIMqhT8DM/w-d-xo.html Don't be offended by the first 1 minute! I'm just trying to encourage you to get that sleep schedule balanced.
Brian Smith not saying it is shit but personally I have seen in the videos the putts longer than say 10 feet he made more consistently or was closer than he does using the “claw” grip.
A psychologist once emailed me about how I talk to myself in my mountain bike videos when I'm trying to do something hard. She observed that I'd always use my name and talk to myself directly when I was upset with what I was doing and that would only exacerbate my negative mindset. I've since been way nicer to myself and it improved my mentality while riding....and also playing golf! You seem to be disappointed with most of the outcomes here, but I wonder what would happen if you gave yourself a pat on the back. 🙂
I did the exact same thing! Changed my comments to myself from what I did wrong, to what I did right. Also, I focused on where TO hit my ball (a safe shot), instead of where not to (i.e. the hazard). My game didn't improve very much stroke-wise, but my enjoyment sky rocketed.
I don’t think you’ve played golf before 🤪
I didn’t think I’d see you here
@@jimmywoodman84 lol
That's right! It's called "negative self-talk" and many many people do it without even realizing the negative impacts. I'm glad you were able to change your habits and it's worked out for you!
I’m sure these are so hard and cumbersome for you to film. Rest assured that it does not go unappreciated! These are incredibly entertaining and I’m sure I’m not alone in my appreciation for videos like these. Great stuff, Peter!
Thank you very much
I agree. You tubers all go on about practice. Then they dont.
totally agree, I only follow Andrew Rice, Peter and Rick.... just a treat to watch with a great sense of humor
Had the exact same thought - this must’ve been such a pain in the ass to produce, but it was such a cool watch.
Literally always watch every second of every video and usually for other TH-cam rs videos my attention span is so short, so don't change pal!!
No matter your handicap, everyone loves to see Peter Finch hitting driver off the deck.
My best shot!
@@peterfinchgolf you're a better golfer than I! I have never really mastered hitting a driver off the deck. Although I am 63 now, I stopped carrying a driver. I have a 13° 3 wood instead. It's my "fairway finder!"
@@larryd4352 I hit it better off the ground than then tee. I think my swing may need some work.
Only played my first ever 18 holes in July and shot my best round ever yesterday of 95, sounds silly but the fact I had so many awful putts and chips but came away with my best ever score is actually making me so positive that I can improve so much in not a long time. Golf has grabbed me during lockdown and not letting go. Currently not handicapped but we will get there soon!
I did this Peter. I stopped playing golf back in 2003 and remained as a pro up until 2016 when I gained my amateur status back. Picked up my old T/made RAC’s and joined a Alton GC in Hants. (Braid designed course). My 1st handicap again was 7. I’m now Ping iBlade fitted & exact is 4.4 in post lockdown 2020. Aiming for 3 or below by 2022.
If you were filming yourself then that takes away a percentage of focus that most of us can utilise when scoring for a handicap. That plus your negative mental state adds up to a lot of shots, so don't beat yourself up mate😍🥰
Go easy on yourself Pete and remember a bad days golfing is better than the best day at work...with that just remember to go out there and have fun(will take the pressure off you with that mindset too). Kind regard from Australia
Enjoyed that Pete. Fair play for putting yourself in the open like that. You didn't seem to get any putts to drop and looks like it was just the lack of local knowledge on the greens. Its a massive advantage to know where on a green to play towards to leave ourselves the best chance of a birdie putt which you didn't have on a course you don't play week in week out so to get those scores deffo deserves some credit.
Very impressive Pete. I can only imagine that filming for the channel which is much appreciated for the great content doesn't help your game much. So I am pretty sure being able to focus completely on every shot without having to worry about camera angles and everything else that goes into making great videos would certainly lower your handicap even more. I absolutely love your channel and in my opinion you have the best golf you tube channel out there. Good luck in all your future rounds of golf my friend.
i love the editing style. the way he is talking so fluidly while having jump cuts of him walking is for some reason entertaining
Thanks a lot for your honesty. Believe it or not your video will probably encourage a lot of serious players to persist.
Your humility is endearing!
I love see you (and Rick) doing videos about how you play and you course strategy. I find it especially beneficial seeing how you deal with the bad shots, and what tactics you employ to recover.
You and Rick should do one of these together, showing your different approaches to the same holes
Love watching your vids Pete! Don’t beat your self up so much, you are a top golfer with thousands of followers who love to watch your vids. Keep and going and as you said.. stop thinking and just smash it!
Swing looks solid Peter , don’t think too much and trust your knowledge, it won’t let you down 😉
Rick shiels video: multiple camera operators, drone footage, gc quad, production team...
Finchy: *tries not to crash filming himself*
Still killing it.
David Irvin- Rick Shiels is a 10 handicap that does infomercials and golf tips.
metonicycle they’re also friends
@@dave6012 you missed the point...Finch would have to give Shiels 3 a side...I know you were referring to vid quality and production...I was inferring it was border line insult to compare the two...One can play and one cannot.
@@metonicycle6294 Still a PGA pro. Where's your membership card?
Really enjoyed that video, used to use the practice facilities at Carden as a junior. Some 20 years ago. Started playing again 4 months ago after said 20 yr break, just doing my handicap again which is currently 0.7. Live up the road from there. If you want a knock shout out.
Gotta say. I do enjoy your honesty on your golf game.. Keep up the good work.. 👍
The the style of the video and you look rested and happy and great attitude. You will crush it at your next comp
The power of positivity makes all things possible, you are a brilliant golfer and on top of that an awesome You Tuber...focus on the positives my friend!
Pete, please just talk through all of your strokes. For us, it’s so useful to see your swing thoughts or your visualization. But more importantly, it’s so impactful on your game. Your wedge game got so much better when coach yourself into your stroke.
Played both courses last year and was very impressed. Shot level par round the Nicklaus, celebrated with far too many beers and had a nightmare around the Cheshire the next morning. Cracking set up at Carden Park, hope you enjoy it Pete!
You look dead happy at the moment Pete. It’s good to see! Giving off positive energy ⛳️
This is my favourite video of yours for a while! I love 18 hole scoring course vlogs. Cheers Pete.
As a child I used to visit my grandparents who lived in the tiny little village there, long before the hotel and course existed. It was beautiful then and still is (in a different way) I've been itching to play there, but I doubt they would approve of me hacking the countryside to bits 🤣🏌️♂️
Hi Pete. I was lucky enough to to stay at and Play both Carden Park courses post lockdown. Super impressed by the courses and facilities 👍
16 in September. Up from 13 during March thru May 2020. Thanks to Florida keeping golf open during Covid Lockdown. The summer humidity I've noticed effecting the ball and scoring conditions.
Great stuff as always. Your videos, as well as Rick Shields, help me feel like I can still be part of the game. When I stopped playing golf (Health Reasons) I had an 12 Handicap.
I'm off 27 and love it I take great pride in the extra shots around my local course
I love your positive attitude Pete. After a very tough time in my life I struggle to stay positive especially on the golf course and especially when I am hitting the odd shank. Keep it up mate (I’m an Aussie).
Probably my favourite video of yours!!
It's very interesting to see how you play golf and to watch as though I'm there next to you.
Great video Pete! Hope you had as much fun filming as I did watching it. 👍🏼
Currently 16 Pete gave the game up 15 years ago started back wen on furlough in march joined a lovely course vale of llangollen just started playing comps again.
Playing OK but I have one or two card wreckers per game.. Great videos bud
I recently joined Cavendish GC on a playmore golf membership. You'll be pleased to know our clubhouse is still standing Pete 😉
Great vlog Pete, I enjoyed it. Great Work keep it up👍🏻👍🏻 Carden Park is an amazing place for golf!!!
Cracking watch Pete! Easy to appreciate creators who put a lot of time in to their videos 🤟
absolutely love these vids Peter. Thanks for helping me get from 22 hcp > 10 hcp during lockdown.
I am a 14 handicap and love ur videos.
Good to see you play my home course. Don’t beat yourself up over +3 on the Cheshire course if it’s the first time you’ve played it. That’s my best score back in 1999 when I had time to play a bit more often than 7 times a year. You should have played it when it was a really tough course. They had a Challenge event round there and only 1 pro broke par at -1 .
Glad your back looking like your enjoying golf again Pete!
Superb video 👍 Great to see how it went over a sustained period of time. I love seeing how things work over eighteen holes. It’s so so different to a three or four hole stint.
if you want a course with a view, go and play the Church Stretton golf course in Shropshire, about an hour away from Carden Park. With good weather its incredible!
At least you’re honest! Hats off
One of your best, Pete. Thank you
You are looking well Peter. I hope that is a result of better sleep. We all try to shoot as low as we can on any given day. It's when our self-esteem is based on how well we do that the pressure builds and is a negative force upon our performance. There is no place for ego on the golf course, it generally humbles us all on most days. BTW I am a 25 or thereabout and play for the exercise, relaxation, and camaraderie.
Great Video. I started 2020 under the new WHS as just under a 15. After a fair amount of practice, lessons, and of course a lot of rounds, I ended at 7.6. The lowest for the year was just 7.3. The 8 out of your last 20 sure factors. At one point 6 of my best 8 were in my last 10 rounds. So a string of great play sure helped. Then when that fell off, I had a buffer to find it again! Personal best btw is +5 from the tips. Cheers!
Hey mate I'm happy to shoot under 80 I've never broken par so these videos always make me smile because when I do ill want to do it all the time it's the pursuit of excellence 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺👍
Still love your swing after watching for all these years now. So smooth!
Another great installment, I always like to see a new one pop into my queue.
Gotta say man, you're super hard on yourself. I totally get that at your level, 2 strokes lost in a round can feel like a lot, but I think you have more.than enough ability to keep your "handicap" on the positive side.
I imagine that you edit hours and hours of film to make a video like this, but what stood out to me was, of the shots that you seemed to talk through in detail, you hit them all perfectly.
Thanks again. Looking forward to the next one!
I played carden park on Sunday and Monday! So pure at the moment , managed to drive both over water par 4s on the nick and make birdie!
Awesome! I wish I had your shoulder turn!! I’m working on it!!
No change. Mine is 20 and I need every one of them
And some days you could make do with 15, and other days you'd need 30.
Love this video. I've toyed with the idea of trying to establish a handicap but never seem to be too bothered to try. May need to do this next season. Keep up the amazing content
Love the vid Pete! Congrats on the handicap it looks pretty nice! Keep having fun and if you're having a bad round, the clubhouse will always have a pint for ya!!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video, Peter. Please make more like these!
Good golf mr finch 👏🏻👏🏻🏴
I played today .shot 39 over 9 .not to bad for a 13 handicap especially in wet conditions here in 🏴
Music is spot on, as well as the visuals. Cheers mate.
Hey Pete, not sure if you've already done this or not ( I'm fairly new to your channel), but i think a lot of us would love to watch a video where you explain how much power you put into your swings from certain distances with different clubs as well as how to properly swing to put a spin on the ball. I've only been golfing for a few months so I would love to see what's going through your mind before each shot you take, cheers from Canada!
I was supposed to be going to carden park this Sunday but it’s now cancelled because of restrictions, rearranged for March course looks great
The Nicklaus Course is genuinely one of the best courses I’ve ever played - the 17th is the first par 4 I’ve ever driven in 1, and it’s a beautiful view!
I’m sure these are so hard and cumbersome for you to film. Rest assured that it does not go unappreciated! These are incredibly entertaining and I’m sure I’m not alone in my appreciation for videos like these. Great stuff, Peter! aye
Love the vid. Just watched Rick’s vid re. his handicap. Really interesting watching you guys play a proper round.
good vid. I've been handicap for our work golf society and used the World system. I think it works well and gives a pretty true reflection. Getting enough scorecards in is an issue but there is a sliding scale.
Thanks Pete for a another fun video
Ahh so good to see Carden Park. My first job was at the driving range there. Great to see the course!
I’m a 10 but I’m struggling with the woods lately. I think I’m too steep. I think you are a solid plus 2 when you are on form
Aaron I know the struggles man
I struggle with the woods too....and the lakes, forest, ditches and bunkers.
Pretty much everything 😂
so you're a -10
Great video Pete, I’m off 11.5 but playing off about 25 mostly!! Keep up the good work!
I was supposed to be going to carden park this Sunday but it’s now cancelled because of restrictions, rearranged for March course looks great👍
Well done Pete, great vid. Very enjoyable. My official hdc is plus 18 but I've hit between plus 14 and 16 for months now so I need to get it officially celebrated! :-)
really enjoyed the video - not being able to play much at the moment, it was great to see the course, looked beautiful :)
Class video mate, played Vicars Cross next door 2 days ago and was amazed with how quick the greens still were. New hcap system is going to be interesting. I'm currently +0.9 but with the new WHS I'm +2.3. The lowest I've been with Congu is +2.0 last year. Would be great to get a game
Thanks for the great video Pete! Loved it!
Hi Peter, I absolutely love your content. Since we now go out of season, perhaps take on a project of picking a mid-range golfer and make videos about how to improve his game. When the new season arrives, do a few follow-ups on the progress that has been made with your help throughout the off-season? I don't want to come across bossy, it's just an idea :)
Loved that vlog Peter; maybe not the scores you hoped for but damn fine to watch.
I dont have an official handicap but think I am about 15 to 16; I'd like to go lower but am content to enjoy my game just for the sheer love of playing.
Cheers and thank you!
great insight to your round mate. keep up the good work and stay positive on your golf.
Swings looking really good Pete
Not bad Pete. What a place that looks, definitely fancy a trip down from Scotland next year. Good luck with the comps. My handicap is 6.6. Not sure what it will be come Nov with the WHS. Think it might be around 8. Was two under for 10 holes last night though, so maybe it's improving. Last medal of the year is 10th Oct! Great vid again. Keep up the cracking content.
I live just down the road from Carden, love both courses. Shame I can't go there at this moment in time with lockdown, but I love seeing the hotel up on the hill when you drive in and out
Keep it going man, really enjoy your videos and I'm not even golfing currently.
Great vlog...really enjoyed it, especially the ‘mental’ side of things. Look forward to more like this and good luck in upcoming comps.
I live in Cheshire and it is always raining from September to March, loving the vids Pete 👌. Give yourself a break some times mate your an amazing player.
Played Chesire course first course after lockdown, still pretty new to golf and was knackered by the about 10 holes in but those last like 4 holes are things of beauty!!
Yes cracking holes
Enjoying the videos as always, Pete.
Love the variety of videos recently Pete. Class from you considering you are fried from terrible rest. Appreciate you still keep posting though. Things can only get better 👍🏼
I dont have an official handicap I try to play bogey golf if I get a cheeky par or birdie then great. Odd 6 or 7 creep in there too right enough. I like the fact that u are doing your vlogs warts and all and I play alot of golf on my own too and you do end up talking yourself down a lot. I even took my driver out bag last time coz I was shouting at myself bout it.
Love the vids! especially 2 drivers off the deck shots. Keep them coming
Remember Golf is a four letter word!! Really enjoy your channel 🏌️⛳️!!
Love the effort you put in the videos and your content. Some fantastic videos this year and this is another 👏🏻
Hey Peter, love your videos, you have such a positive attitude, keep up the great videos.
Great video Pete, love the course vlogs and would love to see more of these! I currently don't have a handicap, and its always the go to question anyone goes to when you say you play golf, and i say, i play for the enjoyment and to play the best i can whilst having the most fun! I would love to eventually join a club and get one when i have the time!
Great video Peter. Hopefully the things that clicked with your swing carry through to your comps. Best of luck!
Thanks Joe
Wow, beautiful course. Loved watching you struggle, I mean play through that mess of prettiness. I get golfed on pretty hard myself, mainly for lack of talent, but I love to play.
I always find days like this funny. I'll start out feeling completely disconnected from my swing, generally +2 or +3 over (sometimes a lot worse) the first 5-6 holes then all of a sudden I'll hit a ripper mid iron or driver and let out a little "Oh, hello swing". Many times my playing partners will will swear a bit as I'll go even home or 1-2 under. I just boggles my mind why this happens. I can warm up before a round or just stretch on the first tee and the same thing happens.
I cant help feeling that you have the weight of your bag on your shoulders Pete. We all have flat spots in our careers, thats what makes the good times better....be happy, course looks great and 2 over is respectable for a pro...
worked mine out, i am currently an 8, it will be with the new system 3.4.
Signed up for my handicap for the first time in my life during COVID, officially sitting at 13.9 HI at the moment.
Well done Pete! Great video again! Thanks for great content
Said it before but the quest to the open series have always been my favourite
I highly recommend continuing to focus the camera shot on the divot off first the tee. It really sets the tone and makes folks with handiicaps >+1.9 feel better.
