Thank you for not doing the diddly eye music on an Irish course. A refreshing change...and I do like the tricolur shot tracers
Can we have Irish red heads tho?
No more diddly eye music please. 👍
What about some Bo Diddley?
@@xCoachDxcareful now
Begorrah good point. Top of the mornin to ya.
My Great Uncle was a member here for over 50 years. I was fortunate enough to play 9 holes with him in his final years. It’s a memory I’ll cherish forever. When he past I went with my mum to collect his stuff, the club were wonderful and hosted us for lunch and chatted about our memories of him. Glad you enjoyed it and really happy to see it again for the full 18! Special place!
50 years and you only got 9 holes in? Damn lol.
What a beautiful course. I’m from Glasgow, Ireland is identical to the west coast of Scotland! We were definitely joined together at one point in time 😂
@@wirick31I’m 28 and only started playing golf when I was in my early 20’s so it was a short window. I wish I could play it again now I’m a bit better, the bunkers are no fun when you’re just starting out!
@@wirick31 his GREAT uncle, probably played 9 holes because he was 90 years old.
Peter really has the most entertaining banter of all the TH-cam high level golfers. Very engaging for the viewer, charm and humor just rolling through the screen.
sincerely the only guy in the space, that I can watch play solo. He just doesn't need anyone else to lean on in his vids.
My father is a member in Portmarnock, so I have the pleasure of being able to play it quite a bit. Hands down the best course Ive ever played.
The editing boys need a raise - best in the game! I'm really enjoying all the small details!
Got to say guys, the quality of the production/editing is outstanding, great job
From Seattle I got the chance to play this track with my dad who has stage 4 cancer and my brother last week and I couldn’t agree more. Special memories for my favorite in the world as well! Great vid!
That 4 iron into the 15th was one of the best flighted pure irons I have seen in a long time. Sublime, we will ignore the putt of course😅. Great play with a dodgy back mate. 🤘🖤
I don't usually comment on TH-cam videos but man oh man! What a wonderful production by Team Peter Finch. The camera work, music, editing and of course the golf and talk from Mr. Peter Finch was absolutely top class. This course is bloody gorgeous, and through the video I seemingly felt every emotion that Peter went through, including the back pain 😃. You guys are doing brilliant work and I look forward to every new video!
Nice to see the green keeper having a wee on the 12th hole flyover 😂
I missed that, had to rewind just to see if you were taking the piss.
@samdutton3274 the green keeper was...literaly
Just be thankful he didn't need a poo
@@samdutton3274 pervert
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL COURSE!!!
Thanks for showing it off to us Old Gents in North Carolina . . . Enjoyed the hour with you and your crew!!!
The Irish Tracers were spot on!
As a Dub myself, I am lucky enough to play here, I just wanted to say thank you for covering the east coast of our country. Don't get me wrong, the west is the crown of the jewel, but over time and with foreigners, especially the east coast doesn't get the rep it should also get. I am still gutted to miss seeing you at my club, Tulfarris, last year!
Hopefully, next time you're out this way, I'll get yourself to The Island, Royal Dublin. Maybe even Howth or Corballis for a quirkier experience.
I'm not a huge fan of links golf courses but this is one that I would absolutely love to play! Also that 4 iron shot on the 15th hole was just pure class! All of those lipouts and edge burners had me on the edge of my seat the whole round! Well done Sir!
This Irish tracer is gorgeous! As is the golf course obviously. Had the pleasure of playing the neighbourly The Island GC, the European and Seapoint. I love the Links! Sadly landlocked here in Austria 🙂
The Island and The European are right up there too. A little more under the radar. You got good advice there.
A most enjoyable video. Played very nicely and just no luck on the greens. Give me Peter Finch any day. A nice man. No BS talk or other laddish nonsense so common with others on TH-cam. I have played Portmarnock many times over the years and it certainly looks in gorgeous condition and a great test of golf. Well done! Looking forward to the next one.
One of my favourite courses, all three nines are great. What I love about the championship 18 is that a good shot is always rewarded but you'll almost always be given a chance to recover from an errant ball (unless you hit it off the planet!), unlike so many other similar stature links courses which are far too penal offline. Another great video!
You played a great round mate. In that wind off the back tees that course is a beast. Will be hosting the open in the comings years. Its a proper proper test
Can it host the open?
@@markdonnelly9117 Sadly no as it's not in the UK but we're more than happy to have the Open returning to Irish shores again shortly @ Portrush. Having said that the Amateur Championship is being played @ Ballyliffin and the Women's Amateur is being played @ Portmarnock this year so watch this space
It will be hosting the open championship in the not to distance future.
So refreshing to see a tolerable British golfer - fantastic to watch, good golf, great videos! Can't stand Rick Shiels!
Great course. The real Portmarnock… lucky to play it a few times and never disappoints.
This place is stunning!
Great video Peter. Having played nearly all the great links whilst Portmarnock lots of times, the reason it is right up there is that the course is very fair to play but difficult to score upon.
PS. Peter: a very good golf shot is NOT disturbed by the wind.
Fantastic video as usual, Pete & Co! Golf is truly such a crazy game of mere inches. If those putts just start lipping in or moving a little bit in your favor, that's the difference in shooting one or two under, and four or five over. It's so tough to play in 30+ mph gusty winds. It truly does affect everything from tee to putting on the green, and often a lot more than people realize.
Ben Crenshaw said when he won Irish Open that the 15th was shortest par 5 in world. The greens are great now breaks are subtle
Great to see u back in Ireland Pete on one of the best golf courses in Europe if not the world. This is where all the top players come (quietly) before the Open the likes of Rham ,Woods.Mc Ilroy.etc good to see you playing well. Take a trip to Ballyliffen in Co Donegal the next time you visit a Beautiful Links course on the Coast hosted The Irish Open fly direct into Derry City Airport then it's about an hour's drive South West to Ballyliffin you will love this Course Mike.
Another smashing round. You played really well in the conditions. But the links conditions in the end just took the edge out of a "what might have been round." I really enjoy how you explain your strategy for each hole, I learn lots. Keep em coming!
I think the club speaks for itself, you've been driving it so well this year, so good. When you have that much confidence it makes it less worrisome. Ping has been amazing for years I think the sneaky good drivers, for a while, have been Cobra.
Stunning course!! 👍
There's always something new in the edit! Next to P's game I admire, I really starting to love the team behind him! Great job, laads!!! Subs will reflect that soon
I'm only 3 holes in, but the swing looks good. The shoulder plane is perfect, just collecting the ball off the tee and turf. When you try to hit hard you slightly come over it. Every putt looked like it had a chance to go in. Always love the videos Pete!
Everything about your channels are completely right, right now. Appreciate it alot!
Swinging the club beautifully, that course will never yield, it's a beast, you left plenty out there, now you need to put it on your return list.loving the tracers.
What a cracking looking course, also love the use of Irish colours in the graphics
Pete, well played in those conditions, never take that Driver out of the bag, amazing consistency with the big stick. You should be chuffed with your round. Look out open qualies.
Was lucky enough to work as caddy there last summer. Something I’ll never forget amazing course
Good Effort - And WOW!!!! PF was so much more life affirming and positive about his game... after watching this content I actually think there's a point to life!
Hey Pete,
I find myself wondering how you would play if you had a caddie to distract you from getting in your head, suggest various approach strategies around the greens, help read putts, etc.
Might be worth it warming up to and through open qualifying.
I feel like Myrtle Beach, this and your first sponsor competition were all there with skills. You may have had very different results with a caddy.
Just a thought.
Nice Irish colours on the tracer :)
Pure swing, great tempo. I love it. High video quality
Peter, the putter you are using in this video. What is it. Looks like a great piece of kit. Please share with us.
loving the fact it's an Irish course and video without Diddly eye music .. great vid
If you're looking for a fantastic course to try next, The Macherie Links in Islay. You need to try it, and the whiskey.
love these videos pete! just pls dont hurt yourself when pushing through back pain. i mean i dont know what is going on, but pls dont hurt yourself
27:07 I’ve started saying “Look at the stitching” when anyone shows me anything… nice shirt, craft beer, cheese burger… doesn’t matter. When people think it’s weird, I say “🤷🏻♂️if you know, you know.”
Your game changed so much with that drive! Great to see!
WoW just watched Rick shot a +6 and made it look like a +13. You go out there and shot a +6 and looked like you could of shot -3.
Solid round in those conditions and couple 3 putts - tough putting when the wind is up
If you ever fancy a round at portstewart love t have ya
Those drives were a thing of beauty on this course keep it up
Peter - don't be too hard on yourself. A couple of those putts went sideways on the last couple of rolls (especially that par putt on 9 - looked in all the way and then nicked a blade of grass and went left) and you hit the ball super clean. I'd just go back and look at those couple of approach shots you hooked and see if you can work out why. Apart from that a couple of three putts on a very difficult day and the ball just didn't roll your way.
The pleading on the 15th was all of us. Loved it as usual Pete.
Some pretty decent golf there Pete, again putting was pretty good, so many just burning the hole, course must go on the bucket list
Watch the SWWOG episode with Billy Casper. Lovely golf course.
The shot tracer colours are a really nice touch
great round, awesome course...
Pete, when i have my hands forward at address with shaft lean, i tend to pull it left. How do you keep it straight? Are you massively in to out? Slightly open at impact?
Great video! Don't change that Driver!
Love the golf and the dry sense of humour 😊😊
Driving the ball beautifully
The quality of your videos gets better & better 👏
Happy to hear that!
Tough round, Pete! 1st time playing this course in tough conditions, with a dodgy back... So don't be too hard on yourself.
More videos from Ireland needed 🙏
That is one serious golf cart (buggy)! You know you're at a golf course with serious weather when your cart has solid covers built-in on all sides!😁
I literally feel your pain, I suffer heavily with a bad back, I played yesterday and hit 1 good drive on the front nine, I had no ability to turn, I topped it, hooked it and sliced it and just couldn't get it into the air. I almost walked off after 9. I reset, put the woods away and went 6 off the tee (now thinking I need maybe a 4/5 or driving iron in my armoury for those days when the back is particularly bad like yesterday. The 9's were like night and day with a 54 (very bad for me) on the front 9 and a 39 (very very good) on the back 9. I also had a day where my new PXG brandon putter shaved the hole pretty much every hole and I had a par fest on the back 9. Sadly, the back as usual has put me out of action for a week or two, the downside of a worn out body and getting old.
Very good round, taking everything into consideration. You could definitely do even better on a second visit. Love the tracer. ps music was great.
I live in Portmarnock, what a course it is
Hey Pete, take care of your back… and remember: we don’t care about the ONE video you push through to make for us TODAY… we look forward to the MANY vids you can keep making in the FUTURE!
Great video Pete - I can see where Greg Ramsay got the inspiration to convince Richard Sattler to build Barnbougle Dunes in Tasmania, my introduction to links golf.I well understand the emotional rollercoaster as the scenery distracts you from the golf task at hand!
Beautiful course. Well done in such conditions Peter. Some courses are almost unplayable in high winds. Have you played Machrihanish (Old) the original
often quoted as the best opening hole in GB. I am sure you would enjoy it. My Grandfather and Uncle were Golf Pros there.
Could we see a short review or podcast topic on the reverse taper grip ?
@peterfinchgolf - I think you hit great putts all day, choosing great lines but I also think you gave the wind too much respect boss! Great course, Howth bay is stunning and another great video in the bag! Well done boss!
I had the pleasure of playing this course on a great vacation to Ireland. The scenery was incredible, and so was the wind. It ate me up, but I wouldn’t change it for the world.
The west coast of Ireland is where the real wind happens. I’ve seen people hitting a 3 wood on a par 3 into the wind.
Played it two weeks ago on a whim while visiting Dublin. What a course!!! Thanks for sharing your adventures there.
Funny enough we played in super soggy Manchester as well during our trip. I could spend the rest of my golfing days on that Portmarnock turf.
Great golf Pete..and not an easy course or conditions..Open qualifying looking good!🎉
Great video Pete. Well played. I am booked to play there in September so this was a welcome taster. Thanks
Course looks amazing. You shot it beautifully
Magnificent! (Obviously referring to the course, 😂). How are you finding the reverse taper putter grip ?
If you haven’t already, get scanned (X-ray is fine to start) to check your spine. I had similar issues you have mentioned… dull knotted pain all the way to fire and lightning shooting down my leg, even so much as my foot going numb and ultimately barely being able to walk for a few days. Sleep was near impossible. I thought it was my left pirifomis clamping down on my sciatic, and I was doing all the stretches and massages associated with that to try and get right. Turns out it was a herniated disc at my L5 pushing into my sciatic nerve, and found that with a simple X-ray. That needs a whole different set of physical therapy than what I was doing, and I’m functioning much better now, pretty much back to normal although I need to keep up on daily maintenance for it. Anyway, a picture is worth a thousand words…. Get scanned, and I hope you solve your issue. It’s damn hard to play consistent golf with this condition. Good luck to you,
Best editing in the business
What an amazing course.
Epic content and a good round considering its your first visit, just a fair few putts missing by smidge to the right and I'm presuming no practice round either... i'd take that score any day 😃
This looks an amazing course!
"This has hosted some of the greats....and me"🤣🤣🤣
Wow Pete your driving is great at the moment 👏
First rate video. Exceptional course in an idyllic setting between Malahide and Howth… what’s not to like! Excellent round with some great golf… tricky greens…
A very nice video Peter. Very enjoyable.thank you
I also started doing the bronze, silver, gold thing. I’ve only had ONE gold, in the last couple of months. However, lots of bronze. Haha
Lovely course. Thanks for sharing with us
Love this series Pete, well played
Great to see Ireland looking so well. ☘
Pete, have you ever played Royal Porthcawl, South Wales? Love to see you play there 👌🏽
Never a good result on the greens when your shoulders are open, great video, course looks fantastic.
Super vid. Well done in awkward conditions. 👍
The Irish shot tracer was such a nice touch
Great vid Pete 😎🇮🇪
I’m loving the production value in your videos, really top notch. Some lovely golf shots in there too to accompany it. 👏
Great video guys - what a course as well
Great video mate, beautiful course. Well played from the tips.
Best golf content on the planet. “Piriformis” in the Carolinas and low and mid back in Ireland. Make sure you get a medical consultation and imaging if you haven’t already. Gotta keep you and your back going if possible.
As I've said before Peter's putting is killing him, could easily knock 5 to 6 shots off every round.
Well done on a tough course 😮
Hi Pete, I’ve been a long term watcher and I love your work . I see you’ve gone back to normal sized grips?? Perhaps a video as to why you’ve made this change would be a good idea.. cheers
one of the only content providers i can confidently and do give thumbs up to before i even watch because its quality every time ... pete in your quest dont forget healthy food and recovery and workouts of some sort but also massage and accupuncture ...if doing more and asking more of your body you have to give more back to it ...also scorecard at end of hole is too huge
