- Can a normal golfer break 100 from the pro tees at a tour venue? And how difficult is a tour golf course really? To find out, we sent out mid-handicapper Jacob (channel editor/cameraman) to take on Abu Dhabi golf club...

Hi everyone (and Happy Thanksgiving) ❤️ Hope you enjoy the video and HUGE shout out to Jacob for agreeing to step in front of the camera and take part 🙌
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family as well.
Happy turkey day
Happy Thanksgiving Mr. Finch and family!!
Watching this before we eat far too much food! 😁😁😁🏌♂️⛳🏌
Great video, what was his net score?
Putting off the green into the hazard is something the caddy should have warned about…,..just saying 😝
This is a class vid. You should make this a regular event, gives a really good insight into how we would play around these courses. Great performance too, especially around the front 9.
It's already being done by RGC called the breaking series
I will call when wh
Shoot mid to low 90s very consistently and got to play warick hills which hosted the Buick open for years. Shot 102 and the thing that was the hardest to do was read the greens. The breaks broke hard and the speeds were very quick. Touch on the green is the biggest hurdle to overcome on a tour course.
This is fantastic. I’m so pleased you managed to defy the nerves and break 100 Jacob. 98 is a hell of a score from those tees. There were a few very relatable, painful to watch, shots in there and some blinders too. You did well to drown out Pete and Keiran’s sniggering/laughter 🤣 when things didn’t go so well, and concentrate on the job in hand. Love these videos with the guys involved, and also the notes in the edit … and yes, SOMETIMES golf is a GREAT game! ⛳️🏌🏼♂️👏🏻🏆
"Jacob is just a vessle to my brilliance" easy one of the best lines you've delivered hahaha. Great stuff mate, keep it up!
😅
Honestly 98 is a respectable score for a 15 handicapper on a course like this. Especially from the back tees. Well done!
The best Peter Finch video I’ve seen.
Literally more of this with handicap golfers but with a bit more coaching thrown in through the round and he’d be the top UA-cam golfer I think. Enjoyed this a lot.
Absolutely brilliant video. I felt like I was living the whole experience! Can absolutely relate to the one crap, one good shot ratio but hitting sub-100 is a major achievement on such a challenging course, especially with every stroke being documented!!!!!
Well done Jacob! Playing that course in front of the cameras with all that pressure, you showed a lot of mental toughness. No pressure but you were carrying all the hopes and dreams of us everyday golfers on your shoulders and you didn't let us down!
What a great video Pete . Jacob is going to be a better player than his current handicap I think . But As a mid handicapper myself it’s REALLY great to see this type of content , and have the finch on the bag as well , got to be worth a few shots (except that drive LOL) seriously so entertaining . Course looks amazing
Really enjoyed this video, as much as we all love seeing Pete play some superb golf it’s nice to see an average joe playing some golf sometimes to, well done Jacob 👍🏻
This!
Massive respect for Jacob on this video! The funny comments in the edit, the willingness to be the sole golfer on a video and then the confidence to hit some amazing shots! Well done mate
I really appreciate seeing a player who is like most of us take on a tough course. Thanks for this vlog!
Great video and I think he putted very well for being tour speed greens. Also being on camera for the first time really makes people nervous, so I give him props. Would be a cool series if you can do that moving forward.
Love this video and concept should do more of these in the future! Made me feel phenomenal about my game😂
Well done Jacob! Great score on a course like that. Keep this kind of content coming Peter 👍🏻
Enjoyed that, great to see shots played the way we play them on a weekend, great for a few holes then a dreaded duff! Love to see more like this!
This is one of my fave videos you have done. Nice job Jacob. Thank you Peter.
Best video I’ve seen in a long time! Great stuff!!!! Hell of a round mate. Great job.
High up the priority list this one - at home recovering from COVID and have been waiting all day for this one! Thanks for the vid to cheer me up Pete (and team!)
Cheers Alistair, get well soon
Great video Pete, one of your best. Fair play to Jacob for stepping up for the content 👊
Class video!!!! Love seeing the team really involved. No one else doing that really on the platform
Mr Finch, this is a cracking video and I know it’s already been said but I’ll repeat it, definitely should be a regular event not only to see how us mere mortals play great courses but more to see how better we can be when there is someone there to help and advise us. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great caddying Pete, loved the putt off the green into the water early on.....done that a few times on unknown and super fast greens!
Brilliant content! So much more relatable seeing a “normal” player around one of these courses. To be fair a good number of shots left out there due to putting but an incredible effort and some great play!
Loved this vid, Pete. And well done to Jacob for stepping in front of the camera for this. I’d have been bricking it on that first tee if I was him!
Classy! Nice to see someone who you can identify with hcp-wise play a tour course. Wish I was heading for a golf course this weekend, most are closed in Sweden this time of the year, sadly. Maybe some indoor golf coming up.
Awesome video and really fun watching a Middle hcp playing a tour course
Great play Jacob really well breaking 100💪
This is so helpful.. to listen to your advice as the round progresses was so useful
Loved that. Shows how totally challenging these big courses are to play. Golf is fun, and everyone has moments of excellence but wow that was just draining on how tough it is to play.
As a fellow 15.2 handicapper, I felt every one of those shots - well done Jacob and a great video Peter
very nice vlog, actually jealous of Jacob. playing over there with a great guide/caddy. Keep it up Peter, would like to see more like this.
Excellent video Pete and well done Jacob!! European/DP World Tour venues extract shots from the average golfer like there's no tomorrow the further back you go. I've been playing the bucket list courses in Dubai this week and trouble is everywhere if you can't get off the tee (the case for me more times than not this week), even though the slope rating might make it look easy. Hitting off waste areas, the different grasses, the speed and slopeyness of the greens, the carries over well placed trouble... it is tough going. Couple that with battling a few swing and in game demons, it can certainly add up on the scorecard. Which is why today, at the Earth Course, to enjoy the round a little more, we are planning to play off the Signature tees (6473yds), rather than the Tournament (7045) or the Championship tees. (7706). Whether that changes when we get there, who knows.
The best golf content of the month by anybody this is! I'm a 14 HC and can totally relate. I don't think I can hit it as far as Jacob but I don't think I'd have missed that many to the right. What was with that?
quality video, so relatable! quality effort Jacob not just a tour course but a pro watching and a camera in your face should give you at least another 15 shots!
Great video. Love how you get the crew involved!
This is one of your best videos ever. Really insightful for a high handicapper. Thank you.
Awesome video and well done Jacob! More of this content required for sure!
A playing partner once told me "the secret to breaking 100 is to remember that bogey is a birdie half the time, as far as you're concerned." He meant, take the pressure off yourself, as +18 is 90, so you still have 9 holes you can double-bogey and remain 99. Once you stop worrying, the shots seem to flow easier.
I use this same type of mind trick to break 90. The first thing I do when I get a scorecard is add 1 stroke to every hole. All the PAR 3's become 4's, and the 4's become 5's and the 5's become 6's. And I treat it as if that is really a PAR. If I get a 3 on what should have been a PAR 3, I celebrate as if I just got a birdie. When I started doing this, I went from 98-100 scores down to 89-92 scores so fast. I stopped trying to take risky shots to get PAR for the course, and took low pressure shots to get PAR for me. When you realize that you have 4 shots to get to the green on a PAR 5 (that is now a PAR 6), you stop trying to make it in two.
That was a superb video to watch! More like this would be fantastic and I’d happily volunteer to embarrass myself attempting it for the sake of content :)
Loved the video. Love the course. I think you should expand this idea by taking a 69 year old 18 handicapper around the same course.
I’d be more than happy to volunteer as coincidentally I’m 69 and a bandit off 18 - or so some of my playing partners claim 😂
I really liked that vid. Would be good to see you coaching and teaching Jacob , and implement some of your tips and lessons to show us that they really work. Loved it well done team
What a fantastic round! Really struck home with me when a good shot is followed almost immediately with a duff!! Just move on, find it and hit it again!!
Well played!👍
Class Jacob!! Really enjoyed that video.
Now that was fun. I've never been so emotionally invested in a golf video. I was rooting hard for this guy by the end. Good stuff as always
'You've done that for content I'm fuming!' one of the best quotes I've heard in a long time!! Well done Pete !!
i love watching these golf videos, brings joy and entertainment
That is what I call realistic golf. 😁 because That is almost exactly how I play and what I score. Well done Jacob, for allowing us to join you and feel your pain on those wayward shots, but to share your joy on the good ones. Great vlog Pete, thanks 👍
A bit late to the party I know but I enjoyed that. Would love to see a new video with Jacob to see how he has progressed. I'm new to golf and what Jacob said there about the physical drain it has on you by the latter end of your round is so real
Brilliant video Pete, keep it up!
Wonderful viewing. Gives a great insight into the gulf between us( 15+) handicap and Tour Pro.
Also a cunning plan to sign him up for some green reading and putting lessons. He shaved the hole more times than an employee @ the local waxing salon
Agreed, excellent idea for videos and your protagonist would be very well served with some putting lessons/practice.
Brilliant, definitely need more of these 👏👏👏
Video is fantastic! Love the notes from Jacob in the edit!!
Loved this vid. Man, golf is tough! He should travel and play everywhere with you! Amazing content.
What a quality video, hopefully the start of many!!!
Fantastic concept and video. Great golfing! Like a lot of commenters said, it's nice to get an average player's perspective. As a 17 handicap, I was very intrigued to see how he was going score.
Playing from the back tees with a bunch of cameras on you and everyone watching your every stroke. So silly stressful I’d be happy with a 130 probably from that distance and circumstances. Great job Mate!
Fantastic video definitely do more like this 👍👍 ... definitely some bad caddie advice 😂😂
Great chemistry between you and Jacob! Great video Pete!
This was a great Idea Pete, Just shows how much harder golf can be Jacob did great. Excellent Video Pete Carry on doing the great work 👏👏👍👍
Loved this one Pete!!!
What a great vid… we all know how it is but this really shows how’s it can grind you down some times…brilliant
Best video on UA-cam right now. 🔥keep them coming.
These videos are quality to see the comparison. Nothing better than a good comparison video in terms of likes of this video, as well as old clubs vs new clubs, new clubs vs new clubs etc etc. Be good to see the difference on other things like hot conditions on ball flight compared to cold too if possible!
"You did that for content". At least every other piece of advice you gave him was spot on. I play off a slightly lower handicap than Jacob but felt that I was out there with him.
Great video, Jacob well done for stepping up, played it well!👏🏽
Class showing by Jacob. Great job!
A great watch! Really wanted him to do it, and he did, sweating at the end, superb.
Great video guys! And a great score! This goes to show how difficult the tour courses really are but also how brilliant the elite players must be.
See if u can get tiger down to Stockport and we can see the flip side! 😂
Great stuff! Well done!
Awesome this one Peter, very cool, thank you.
What a great video! We’ll played Jacob, hope to see more of these from you
Whowww.. this is class. Very good Jacob. Very well done.. i wish i could play at your level.
Absolutely awesome video!!
Really enjoyed this video. I “believe” you will do another one. 😁
Just changed in the middle of a Rick Shiels vid to this when I saw you uploaded! Love the content
"Come on... *waves everyone along*, come and see this side of the green." Excellent video Pete and well done Jacob!
Well done, that was a great outcome, great video too 👍👏
Great content. Enjoyed how relatable it was to the standard club player.
Loved this as I have played on this course 2 years ago off the yellow tees. As a high handicapper(off about 20 at the time) I never expected to score well but it was great to play on such a quality course as a treat. I played ok, but the time went so quick. I love watching this course in any vlog just to try and remember the holes. the best thing about this one is it is the same tee boxes so its one of the few vlogs where the tee shots gives me the same memories (as all the others play off the big biy tees), Oh and the flag on the 7th was the same but I leaked my tee shot into the front bunker and took 2 to get out! I scored 99....::D
With Peter as his caddie, I'd give him a solid 120. :D Love ya Pete!
Excellent video, and what a very pleasant and humble guy Jacob is. As he's a cricketer turned golfer, I'd like to see Peter Finch playing cricket!
Loved this video!!
Great video, well done guys
This is a brilliant video mate, for anyone out there that thinks it's almost impossible to make it under 100 round a course, just watch this video! He's done nothing amazing to hit a 98, he just stayed focused and played calmly. Thats all you need to do. He was in the water teice and still did it, it's achievable!
Lots O fun. Thanks for sharing
A great effort. It looks a beast of a course. He left so many putts out there as well. Good stuff Pete. Very interesting.
Great video this. Well played.
Really enjoyed that. Love the positivity. "A moment of learning" I'll remember that one
Every shot is an opportunity
Great , true to life, video. Cant imagine doing that.
What a star Jacob is! Well done and well played.
You are a vessel of my brilliance! Peter is a stud!😂😂
Well done Jacob, hitting the driver great. This is why we love/hate golf, one holes you think you’re the best. Next hole you feel like an absolute beginner. Great video
I would say he played well. Great stuff. Thanks Pete
Fantastic round Pete!
You got an out loud cheer here when the eagle putt dropped!
15:33 Pete’s face here had me laughing, we’ve all been there at the end of a round lol
It woz vErry gud 😜 but seriously what a very entertaining vid and well done to to Jacob ( the boys a natural in front of the lens) for smashing under 100 on that beautiful course thanks guys 👍
Class video Pete. This would be very interesting with different handicaps. PS I’m available if you need a 27 handicapper when you are back in the UK 🤣
GREAT VIDEO!!!! Once again I love getting to know the team. Well played Jacob! I don't know if I could even make contact with the ball if I knew there would be 75k people watching the video. That takes massive courage. Cheers!!!
+26 is an awesome score on a course like that! I would jump for joy with that score there.... Hell, i would jump for joy with that score on my home course!
Thx guys for the very relatable video!
“A vessel to my brilliance”. There is no greater compliment, is there? 🤣🤣
