This was genuine gut punch after a complete year of trying to be the very best golfer I could. Back to the drawing board

I took on Open Qualifying…it was a DISASTER
Don’t get yourself down Pete, you’ve been an inspiration for many of us this year, highlighting your highs and lows only shows the strength and resolve you have to live and learn. We are all enjoying your content always
Yes please @peterfinchgolf , do it again next year.
An excellent process with enough ups along the way to be net positive in spite of the big down.
Better luck, and fortitude, next year 🙏
Man I think the fact that you feel an urge to give up trying for it based on the result is definitely a sign that you absolutely should try again in order to try to overcome. If anything, for your own sanity. I loved watching this series. Would be even more invested next year
You have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of, and I thank you for posting this and being transparent. Some of the best golfers in the world (JT, Rickie, etc) have rounds where they struggle to break 80 and feel like they’re never going to play well again. You’ve shown that you can play great golf. Keep your head up and remember what Paddy said. We’re all rooting for you!
Pete, Rick, Matt and Andy need to sit down on a podcast and speak about their experiences during open qualifying
MF got a hole in one, that will be an interesting feeling to express
The four of them need to stop posting for a while and dig it in the dirt
Wow made a comment on MF’s hole in one and got deleted
4 of them coundn’t win the sunday medal
Pete , please don’t question yourself and ask what’s the point. I love watching your videos. The presentation is first class and you give everything to your audience. Keep going and look forward to the next video. PS I’m based near troon so hopefully see you at the Open ⛳️
Pete, please keep going. This is golf and humanity in a nutshell, bite down hard and go again. This community will follow your redemption and lift you shoulder high when (not if) it arrives. Top man.
Definitely continue. Takes guts to film especially if it doesn’t go your way. But watching the journey is highly entertaining. Nobody else is doing this.
Completely get how you must have felt/feel Pete. You have zero to apologise for and despite the clear pain and embarrassment you feel at this time, those of us who follow you closely, know how you can and have performed this passed year.
You are an excellent flag bearer for the YT golf space and communicate to your audience in a way that is clear and unequivocal … so refreshing in amongst some of the hype and tosh blurted out on numerous other channels.
May your wounds heal quickly and (as I’m sure you will) return with renewed faith in the fact that people really enjoy what you do.
You’re a highly capable golfer and together with your great team, produce some of the best content on the platform. Hang in there mate 😘
This is by far the episodes I look forward to the most. The thought that you could make it to the open, a mere mortal like the rest of us is so inspiring! Please dont give up!
Also, absolutely fantastic job on the editing, the mood of the music and just the right amount of commentary – top, top work guys 👍
Thank you sir
This is the MOST touching of all of your videos. You’re right… Worst round at the worst time. I’m still insanely jealous of your golf swing. I stand on the course picturing your swing any time I’m feeling a little skittish. That has not changed one bit after watching this.
Tempo town
Please keep this series going, Pete! Your quest for the Open series is some of the best content on YouTube.
Agree it’s brilliant for us amateurs to live vicariously through our YouTube content creator’s experiences. Golf is tough and Pete (Rick et al) are masters of their trade, aka golf entertainment. Well done Pete.
You really believe that?
Pete, I know you’re disappointed and frustrated but I hope through that you keep sight of all great work you’ve done this season and on your channel in general.
Just speaking for myself, you’ve played a huge part in helping me find my way back to the game again after a long stint away when my dad passed. Experiencing your joy and love for golf through your channel, through lots of ups and downs, has made a big impact on me and I’m sure many others will say the same.
Chin up, keep up the great work, and thanks for all you do for your viewers and for the game!
Super courageous to post this. EVERY golfer (scratch…pro…10 handicap) has been through this. Part of the curse of this game we love 🙂 Carry on!
Pete, seeing a golfer of your quality go through the same struggles, technically and mentally as us amateurs, while also talking it all through with your audience is very uplifting. Thanks for all the effort you put into entertaining your fans, we appreciate you. Bad days happen, your game is ever improving, you will be back better than ever. We believe!
I walked round the course following you. The pressure must have been intense. Having seen the other YouTube golfers Open videos, it appears that you had a lot more people following you, which is testimony to the content you produce. The filming lads were a credit to you too. They didn’t interfere and were happy to talk to everyone, as were you when things weren’t going your way.
Keep going Pete 💪🏻
I shoot so much better when on my own. Even playing with work mates I drop a ton of shots, let alone Open qualifier and loads of people.
I’d encourage Pete to invite fans to watch next year’s lead-up to qualifying. Get used to his fans and no doubt he’ll be better with this Yr under his belt
Pete, you are one of (if not) my favorite Golf Youtubers. Your videos show the good and bad of everything, and that’s why I watch everything you put out. Your Quest for the Open series is def a top favorite, and seeing you play both good and bad inspires me to push my game to the next level.
Thank you for everything you do and I will continue to support your channel and this amazing series. On to the next!
Peter, you were the first YT golfer I stumbled upon on the platform. I think I have followed you since 50-60K subs or something. You and Ricks early coursevlogs, your humour and love of the game, made me fall back in love with golf. I genuinely believe that had I never found your channel, I wouldn’t have picked up the game again. Please don’t be too hard on yourself. The fact that you have the courage to play, given the pressure and expectations on your shoulders, is impressive. Go on Pete! I’m rooting for you! Regards Mads
Can I just say….. Thank you.
Thank you for producing the content you and your team do. Thank you for entertaining us every week without fail. Thank you for showing us your highs but also your lows.
Those of us who are your fans… this hurt for us as much as it did you. We want to see you thrive!!! And although in the open qualifier that wasn’t the case….. this year you have thrived.
This year you have brought us some outstanding golf… some fantastic content and took your following on a spectacular journey.
The quest for the open wasn’t a failure… it was a resounding success that has left me wanting to see you push through this and with the advice of the greats you have played with…. Come back stronger next year.
Thank you Pete and the team for all the content this year so far! I can’t wait for wherever the journey takes us! Where that is…. Who knows…. But what I do know is we are all here as fans willing you to succeed.
Was there watching you all round that day, Peter. Can’t imagine what was going through your head. The fact that you pushed through the back 9 knowing you weren’t gonna get into final qualifying shows how much mental strength you have to push on and what a top bloke you are for doing so.
Was still great to watch you play in person
Pete, that was touching and deep. Thank you for being so open and raw for all of us who love watching you be you.
Please continue your “Quest for the Open” series. It is seriously some of the best content on YouTube. I have seriously improved my game over the last 18 months. I moved from an 18 to an 8. Much of what i have done is watch your content and practice/play with that content in mind.
Huge thank you for being you and sharing with us.
