Finchey! Texas PETE! What a great time man, thank you so much for joining and making the adventure better. Also while I did get the Gleneagles Slippers, I did not get the same "room" as you. Thanks for the memories and look forward to more to come! E
Pete your a lucky man to play these courses. Lucky is probably the wrong word, fortunate is the right word maybe. Love your content on all your videos. Good stuff and thank you for going to these wonderful courses.
Wow such an amazing course. Truly the breathtakingly beautiful reason most of us treasure a visit to the course. Just cannot beat the beauty nature has to offer.
You have a rather nice life eh Pete!! Well done mate, playing golf , travelling around the world meeting top blokes and hitting the ball down a beautiful course...………………………..Heaven!! all the best , great vlog as usual!!
Thanks again for showing me more of Scotland golf Peter. I really do look forward to them, as I'll never get back there myself. Originally from Dundee by the way, but a long long time ago.
Pete, just wanted to impart some wisdom your way. In this video you said your swing is not where you want it, nor is..errr...was mine. In MY quest for a better and more consistent swing I found this video series called #golfalong. You may have heard of it? Anyway I decided to watch it again and found a few major and more minor flaws in my swing compared to the instructions within the video. It helped get me back to the fundamentals and I saw an immediate improvement. Thought this may help...by the way, thanks for making those videos. They are a real solid series and extremely helpful.
Hey Peter, if you ever make your way down to Australia , check out the Sandbelt courses in Victoria from the Murray River to Royal Melbourne. Enjoy ⛳⛳⛳
Pete I hope you ‘ve played Cruden Bay before. If not you will have to drive back up sometime and enjoy another superb links course. Keep producing the great content.
We had a round at Gleneagles arranged but unfortunately I our contact got a bad massage and it screwed up his shoulder badly and he couldn't play. The last time he took us to Gleneagles we played the PGA course. I liked the course but it was too long for our standard of golf so we were going to play one of the other courses ,whichever was the shorter of the two. As always loved the flyovers.
I have actually been holding off on watching this video as I know that I will be heartbroken by the end. I don’t know that I’ll ever have the opportunity to play in Scotland. I hope I will play there someday. It just looks stunning.
You have such a hard life sometimes, Pete. :) I get the opportunity, through work, to play at Gleneagles a couple of times a year but have only managed to play the Kings once in the last 5-6 years. Watching your vlogs makes me realise that I need to take the opportunity when I get it so next chance I get (April), I am there!
I really hope you filmed Cruden Bay, after Royal,County Down this is my next favourite. I'm from Australia & regularly fly to Scotland to play this specific course.
Looks like you had a great time. I have never played up in Scotland but I think that will have to change next year. Certainly could not afford to play Gleneagles or Trump international but there are some great value courses I would love to see. Great stuff as always Pete.
Pete I was wondering if you or you and Rick have ever played or thought of playing any of the older courses in the UK, ones that haven't been lengthened, and playing them with hickory clubs and doing a vlog on it?
this is my dream to play in Scotland or the UK period. Maybe this poor American from Germany can find a week to get up their and play. Thanks for the video!!!
You will be glad you did not play Murcar, like walking up Mount Everest, the greens are scary too. Mad Donald's course will host an open when he is gone. An outstanding course, the best one ive ever played on.
Murcar was my first links experience and I loved it. Played it for the first time last year, and have been back to Aberdeen twice since. Fell in love with links golf! Cruden is my favourite though.
It looks as though you played the PGA again at Gleneagles. I think many of us would rate that number 3 of the courses there. Maybe do something on Queen’s and/or Kings? Even the “wee” which surely nobody calls the PGA academy is a great course.
Did all of the courses a few months ago bud, check these out ua-cam.com/video/V42jFlsPGT0/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/WAJweKf4wRU/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/bRE9Q7PxHLY/v-deo.html
Great video Pete, Last time you were where up in Aberdeen was around the same time as the Scottish Open right? Good to see you getting a round at Royal Aberdeen and Trump, pity about about Cruden Bay. Just gives you an excuse to come back :-)
Great work Pete, fantastic looking courses. Quick question...how have you found your golf after getting your eyes done ? Did it take long to adapt ? I’m getting my eyes done early nov. 😊
My vision was perfect within 48 hours. Couldnt believe the results, and obv its made a huge difference for regularly playing golf! Hope it goes well for you!
Peter Finch Golf thank you for the reply. I struggle playing with glasses so needless to say being able to see properly on the course is exciting. Keep up the good work sir 👍🏻
Interesting. I've hit 3 balls into a net with the Cobra Tec (black) and they felt decent enough. are you planning on doing a video about your experience with them?
Thanks for producing some very good stuff. Would you be kind enough to pass on some discounts to your army of fans. We would like to follow in your footprints. thanks
Funny story, I'm a junior member at Cruden bay and I seen that Erik was playing so I texted him saying that I could play if there was space available and if not I would be out practicing for an up coming event but since there was already a four ball I couldn't play, then for some reason I never ended up going to practice and now I'm seeing that you were there I'm slightly annoyed that I never went, what a wasted opportunity. "Absolute Plonker!".
Serious question: do people actually like this Erik Lang dude? I see him doing collabs with literally every golf person I follow. I can’t say I’m a fan, and I can’t be the only one? 🤷🏾♂️
Peter Finch Golf what I mean is like him enough to be on every single channel? You, Shiels, Golfholics. Then he’s on Skratch, Vice and he has his own channel. Seems like over-saturation to me.
Is smothering your vlogs with background music going to be a constant from now on, like some cheesy travelogue/documentary? After following you for several years, I just wanted to know if it's time to part company...
It's been increasing over the last month. For the Adare stuff in August it's only intermittent during the on-course play, so it's more bearable, but now it seems to be always in the background. Perhaps it's popular with your other subscribers, but it's really not for me. I think you're a good bloke with some fine content, but I'm afraid I'm just a grumpy old man who yearns for the good old days...
Erik is always going on about why don't more people get into golf? A major reason is that even golf's most chill, populist personalities are big ole' Republicans or at the very least tacitly support that side. It's a bummer, because golf is fucking awesome and we want most of the same things (well-maintained public tracks, beautiful scenery, dogs, and more people playing that don't look like us).
Looks stunning! I just wish it didn’t have anything to do with Trump! As an American raised in the UK, I’d rather not line that mans pockets! Petty I know...but it just doesn’t sit right with me...
All these courses mentioned are completely extortionate prices. I suspect the hotel was a fortune as well. So expensive for a game of golf! Just not worth it hence its full of American tourists lol.
Yeah these courses arent cheap but there are some great courses that have great deals.... or tee off times.co.uk....... played Kittocks for £38 in august when normally £95
Really? By all accounts (and whatever measuring metric you use), Trump has pulled your country out of a free fall. The fact that he has great taste in golf (and has built fabulous courses around the world) has got to be of some redeeming quality. Give the man a break. Don't believe a word the left says.
Get a Canon the vibration damping is much better than Nikon.... I had to stop watching, it was giving me a headache. That and the Trump abortion is not somewhere I am interested in playing.... the man is a cheat and lier and it applies doubly to this golf course. I've been considering writing to the R&A requesting the man has his handicap cancelled.
OTT? How's this for OTT... Have you watched the special on his business dealings regarding this golf course? His plans for the course, approved by the local authorities, then ignored. Not just ignored, but when his neighbours complained he wasn't following the Plan approved by the authorities, he built a big wall (sound familiar?) of dirt to block out their view. A view most had owned for generations... he blamed THEM for HIS ignorance, and HIS destruction of this part of Scotland. The result is this abortion of a golf course. That This THING is labelled a "Golf Course" disgusts me, because I play a lot of golf courses and this one is not a golf course, it's a monument to a small irritable little man that can't swing a golf club for shit but somehow has a hcp of 2.5 or some crap... he deserves to lose it...
Why cant you left wing nut jobs keep politics out of golf? I am so tired of hearing your BS all the time... go watch MSNBC for your nightly dose of conspiracy theory.. Jeeeze, it a damn golf course for cripes sake!!!!!
Hey, Right WIng nut job, if you re-read the post it mentions nothing about politics. He's pissed at Trump's treatment of Scotland and Aberdeen regarding the construction of that course. Lighten up and realize Trump was a shit before politics.
Finchey! Texas PETE! What a great time man, thank you so much for joining and making the adventure better. Also while I did get the Gleneagles Slippers, I did not get the same "room" as you. Thanks for the memories and look forward to more to come! E
Was epic bud!! Cheers for an awesome time!
Texas Pete and Eazy E! Hope to see more from you two.
Course looks incredible. As an american, a Scotland golf trip is high up on the bucket list.
As it should be!
Pete your a lucky man to play these courses. Lucky is probably the wrong word, fortunate is the right word maybe. Love your content on all your videos. Good stuff and thank you for going to these wonderful courses.
Wow such an amazing course. Truly the breathtakingly beautiful reason most of us treasure a visit to the course. Just cannot beat the beauty nature has to offer.
Oh its absolutely stunning up there, gets me everytime!
Scotland is truly golf heaven! Thanks for sharing!
You're more than welcome :)
i've binge watched your videos for a while now and I must say, the quality of your filmography is immense
Cheers Luke :)
What a vlog; whisky, great golf, EagleMoose footage of Gleneagles - everything!
Cannot wait for the vlogs to flow down.
Cheers
Honestly, it was perfect (apart from the detour obviously!)
You have a rather nice life eh Pete!! Well done mate, playing golf , travelling around the world meeting top blokes and hitting the ball down a beautiful course...………………………..Heaven!! all the best , great vlog as usual!!
Thanks alot :) yes, Im an extremely lucky guy
Thanks again for showing me more of Scotland golf Peter. I really do look forward to them, as I'll never get back there myself. Originally from Dundee by the way, but a long long time ago.
Well my love for Scotland is only growing exponentially so expect more!!
Opening shots of Gleneagles sent shivers down my spine. Looks incredible and really hope to play there one day 👍🏽
Ill keep my, fingers crossed for you!
Great course Vlog. You defiantly showing off the best of Scottish Golf. Can't wait for where we stop next
Somewhere a bit further south than Scotland B)
Peter Finch Golf how about the Rutland water area. Cheap golf and some really good courses.
Well Im currently in Spain sooo......
Peter Finch Golf. Ooowww Spain course Vlogs comming. So lucky. Thank you for taking the time to message back on your bussy schedule.
Could there be anything better than a tier 1 Scottish course followed by a whisky tasting? *WOW!* Thanks for video, Pete!
It was a very special day!
Always loved my trips to Scotland so many amazing courses
Every time I go, I feel like Ive come home!!
Stunning visual story here Pete this was a pleasure to watch 👍
U hav the greatest job in the world pete mate ❤️ love the vlog.

Skratch golf is amazing. Criminally unrated.
100%
Hey Peter, if you ever make your way down to Australia , check out the Sandbelt courses in Victoria from the Murray River to Royal Melbourne. Enjoy ⛳⛳⛳
Will try William!
gorgeous fly over...
:)
Yet again a great video keep up the great work that you do
Cheers Terry

Bad luck Bill, sure youll get back out there soon. Both the Kings and Queens are great, you'd love them both
Best breakfast of my life was at Gleneagles. And the worst golf too ;) Great hotel and amazing courses!
The place is something special
Pete you look great next to those SEAMUS golf bags!
Not played much in Scotland pete,but after watching these videos i am definitely going to have a week there next year
Youd be missing out if you dont
Peter Finch ladies and Gentlemen!! Great video
:D
Great video Pete, go hard for the Open. Come play in New Zealand, there is a few good courses in Queenstown
Somewhere I would love to go!
Scotland is just amazing
😍
I have actually been holding off on watching this video as I know that I will be heartbroken by the end. I don’t know that I’ll ever have the opportunity to play in Scotland. I hope I will play there someday. It just looks stunning.
Anything's possible Matt!
Texas Pete!!! Great video and I’m totally not jealous of your lifestyle.

You have such a hard life sometimes, Pete. :) I get the opportunity, through work, to play at Gleneagles a couple of times a year but have only managed to play the Kings once in the last 5-6 years. Watching your vlogs makes me realise that I need to take the opportunity when I get it so next chance I get (April), I am there!
You really should
I really hope you filmed Cruden Bay, after Royal,County Down this is my next favourite. I'm from Australia & regularly fly to Scotland to play this specific course.
Commitment!
Some great looking paddocks to wack a ball around Pete and that room, I'd call that a house.
It is not far off the size of my house...
Rubbing shoulders with the great and the good.....what an adventure you're on eh Pete.👌
Looks like you had a great time. I have never played up in Scotland but I think that will have to change next year. Certainly could not afford to play Gleneagles or Trump international but there are some great value courses I would love to see. Great stuff as always Pete.
Yep, there's loads of great value courses out there worth visiting
Another brilliant video !!!
Thanks alot Sean
Another great vlog Pete, Scotland is somewhere quite special
Were you perhaps getting an early start at heading south for the winter 😉
If I wasnt, I definitely should be!!
Murcar Links, next door to Royal Aberdeen, is well worth a visit 😉
Cheers Mike, Ill stick it on the list for next time
Adventures in golf is brilliant. Have a look if you have not seen it yet.
I want to golf in Scotland!!!!
100% everyone should check it out!
Royal Aberdeen looks good and gleneagles looks amazing, you should try some of the west lothian courses...
Sure another trip will be on the horizon soon!
Awesome to see you play my home club (Royal Aberdeen).
Awesome for you and me both bud
Beautiful course you lucky Englishman!
Lol
Would love to see you place this place off the blacks with matt as a record breakers
Pete I was wondering if you or you and Rick have ever played or thought of playing any of the older courses in the UK, ones that haven't been lengthened, and playing them with hickory clubs and doing a vlog on it?
We've been talking about a hickory vlog for a while!
That would be something to see Pete, regardless though your course vlogs are always good viewing, keep them coming ☺
Erik is the man!
Hes so super cool :/
@@peterfinchgolf you are as well no worries peter!!
Such a shame you missed playing Cruden Bay. It's my home course!
this is my dream to play in Scotland or the UK period. Maybe this poor American from Germany can find a week to get up their and play. Thanks for the video!!!
#prayforphil
What was the slow mo footage at 9:22 shot with? A go pro?
Yeah just handheld go pro
You will be glad you did not play Murcar, like walking up Mount Everest, the greens are scary too. Mad Donald's course will host an open when he is gone. An outstanding course, the best one ive ever played on.
Doesnt sound like Im fit enough for that yet!
Murcar was my first links experience and I loved it. Played it for the first time last year, and have been back to Aberdeen twice since. Fell in love with links golf! Cruden is my favourite though.
its a bloody hard walk, but yes it is a fine course, too many blind shots for me though. the greens are scary fast...
Glen Eagles looks amazing
Never disappoints! Ok Ive only been there twice, but still.....
The two coolest men in golf in Scotland...does it get any better🤔
And I got to play with one of them :D
It looks as though you played the PGA again at Gleneagles. I think many of us would rate that number 3 of the courses there. Maybe do something on Queen’s and/or Kings? Even the “wee” which surely nobody calls the PGA academy is a great course.

Do we need a new/updated top5 courses, now after this trip ???
maaaaaaybe :)
Checking your more recent videos. Has your tempo changed? Seems quicker than before.
You mean my swing - no not changed too much
Cool
Great video Pete, Last time you were where up in Aberdeen was around the same time as the Scottish Open right? Good to see you getting a round at Royal Aberdeen and Trump, pity about about Cruden Bay. Just gives you an excuse to come back :-)
Hardly looking for an excuse bud!!
Stone driving range is my practice spot, you could’ve stopped for a brew!😂
Thats where I used to work, many moons ago!
does this place really exist or ur getting so good on editing peter... hahaha!! :) awesome golf like always! #goTeam9Hours!
Haha, tbf, my skills have been improving....
Where did you used to work in Stoke Pete?
I worked at Stone driving range
I like the intro!
:)
Pete anyone would think you loved Scotland..... we love you too.... welcome anytime
:D
Great work Pete, fantastic looking courses. Quick question...how have you found your golf after getting your eyes done ? Did it take long to adapt ? I’m getting my eyes done early nov. 😊
My vision was perfect within 48 hours. Couldnt believe the results, and obv its made a huge difference for regularly playing golf! Hope it goes well for you!
Peter Finch Golf thank you for the reply. I struggle playing with glasses so needless to say being able to see properly on the course is exciting. Keep up the good work sir 👍🏻
Chilling out with Pete's vid:done 👍 e-book on the way ?
Ebook is FINISHED! Just in the process of being edited, will be available shortly :)
Hey Pete, are you using a Mizuno driver
At the moment but Ive just put in an order for a new one :D
Wow!! Your a very lucky tired boy.
Phew - it was a mad few days!
Has finch moved onto the 2018 cobra one lengths? Or still 2017?
Nope, not changed them
Peter Finch Golf would be great to see them tested as you've got the experience with the 2017's!
Peter Finch Golf top notch video as always btw
0:36 good to see bradley cooper out in his 'The Hangover' outift
(No tigers were harmed in the making of this vlog....)
Soooo.. why not just activate the GPS when leaving the house?
Its a straightforward route, Ive done it a hundred times :'(
Great video
Cheers bud
Pete, are you still rocking the Cobra SL irons ?
Yep
Interesting. I've hit 3 balls into a net with the Cobra Tec (black) and they felt decent enough. are you planning on doing a video about your experience with them?
When is your Titleist TS3 driver going to show up in your vlogs?
Not got it through yet, so who knows!
Pete I’m from Stoke, where did u live n work in stoke
Hey Pete.
When you are doing these vids are you paying anything? for example your hotelroom or greenfees or do you have contacts?
I dont pay for green fees anywayh because Im a pro, and the hotel, it just depends on where I am and the type of trip
Why dont i live in scotland ! Wow it just looks sooo damn beautiful !
Im with you there brother!
Thanks for producing some very good stuff. Would you be kind enough to pass on some discounts to your army of fans. We would like to follow in your footprints. thanks
Ha, see what I can do!
Funny story,
I'm a junior member at Cruden bay and I seen that Erik was playing so I texted him saying that I could play if there was space available and if not I would be out practicing for an up coming event but since there was already a four ball I couldn't play, then for some reason I never ended up going to practice and now I'm seeing that you were there I'm slightly annoyed that I never went, what a wasted opportunity. "Absolute Plonker!".
There's a lesson learnt in there somewhere!
Defiantly
Serious question: do people actually like this Erik Lang dude? I see him doing collabs with literally every golf person I follow. I can’t say I’m a fan, and I can’t be the only one? 🤷🏾♂️
Well, I like him....
Peter Finch Golf what I mean is like him enough to be on every single channel? You, Shiels, Golfholics. Then he’s on Skratch, Vice and he has his own channel. Seems like over-saturation to me.
Yeah I know Pete.... before you were famous eh! 😉
Haha
"i expected the rockies to be a little bit rockier....that John Denver's full of $#!@"
Lil episode of crips aswell haha
lol
I live 10 minuets from there
Niiiiice
Peter Finch Golf you should play the Peterhead golf course it’s really good👍🏻
Played Peterhead last year and found it a bit disappointing until hole 7. From then on it was great! Would rather recommend Fraserburgh.
So, you never found the list, then?
;)
Is smothering your vlogs with background music going to be a constant from now on, like some cheesy travelogue/documentary? After following you for several years, I just wanted to know if it's time to part company...
Ok, Ive been doing this for quite some time....
It's been increasing over the last month. For the Adare stuff in August it's only intermittent during the on-course play, so it's more bearable, but now it seems to be always in the background. Perhaps it's popular with your other subscribers, but it's really not for me. I think you're a good bloke with some fine content, but I'm afraid I'm just a grumpy old man who yearns for the good old days...
Your out-of-the-way start is karma for playing a Trump course.
Ha, I should have known...
@@peterfinchgolf Hey, you try living with that asshole as your President.
It sucks. It's like 18 holes of quintuple bogeys....EVERY FUCKING DAY!
Bringing politics into golf.. bad form!
Erik is always going on about why don't more people get into golf? A major reason is that even golf's most chill, populist personalities are big ole' Republicans or at the very least tacitly support that side. It's a bummer, because golf is fucking awesome and we want most of the same things (well-maintained public tracks, beautiful scenery, dogs, and more people playing that don't look like us).
Looks stunning! I just wish it didn’t have anything to do with Trump! As an American raised in the UK, I’d rather not line that mans pockets! Petty I know...but it just doesn’t sit right with me...
All these courses mentioned are completely extortionate prices. I suspect the hotel was a fortune as well. So expensive for a game of golf! Just not worth it hence its full of American tourists lol.
i stay in scotland but dont think i would ever stay thier or play those courses unless i win the lottery !
jambo10
£180 for a game of golf ...madness.
Yeah these courses arent cheap but there are some great courses that have great deals.... or tee off times.co.uk....... played Kittocks for £38 in august when normally £95
I played these 4 courses last month for a total of £180, 3 opens and 1 freebie. Golfempire is a great way to find deals on top courses
yeh tee off times and golf now are good apps to use !
Looks like a fantastic course but I personally will never play on any course or stay in any hotel associated with “Trump”
Really? By all accounts (and whatever measuring metric you use), Trump has pulled your country out of a free fall. The fact that he has great taste in golf (and has built fabulous courses around the world) has got to be of some redeeming quality. Give the man a break. Don't believe a word the left says.
What a stupid reason not to play a great course
Trump is not everyone's cup of tea (obviously!) but dont let that get in the way of playing there if you ever have the chance
Out of a free fall?! 🤔
To each his own. Thankfully he doesn’t own St Andrews so I would go there instead.
Get a Canon the vibration damping is much better than Nikon.... I had to stop watching, it was giving me a headache.
