Thanks for the shout out lads. +1 was 1 too many which is frustrating after a -3 front 9. Couple of poor shots coupled with bad breaks too didnt help. But hey…. We move on!

I think every single one of us can understand the pain of having a terrible round, but we are not normally doing in public and then having to talk openly about it, so big, big props to you. Just putting yourself out there is worthy of huge respect and the golf you have been playing recently has been really superb and a real pleasure to watch, so you have my greatest sympathies and respect. Chin up Pete, better things are still to come :)

Thank you for talking so honestly all of you, and for allowing your feelings to come through. It's been a privilege to be on this journey with you. Pete, you've got the talent, you have to go again and do it!

Props to Pete and the guys for the timing of this very “raw” rough cut. Thanks heaps for taking us along on the journey and fully understand the regret of crashing and burning on the roundabout that apparently was today’s (golfing) catastrophe!

It is fantastic that you shared the experience with us. Total class. Big respect. You and your team are a credit to the golfing community. ❤

Pete - I'm sorry you had such a crap day, but I have to say your earnest efforts at improvement and competition are what make your content my favorite on YT. Please keep it up (as much as your mental health allows)!

Tough break Pete, but please please PLEASE do this again next year. The entire Quest for the Open series is so fun to watch. I know myself and others loved the build up throughout the year. Even though the result was not what you wanted, it's awesome for us to watch!! For what it's worth from a random viewer over here in the US 😂.

@@christopherhughes497 because one substandard round of golf for a golfer of Pete's caliber does not by any stretch indicate the level of golf he's capable of. We've seen him go under par in seemingly easy fashion around even tougher courses. Not to mention, this series was incredibly enjoyable/entertaining/interesting to watch. If you tuned in all year long to the many Quest for the Open videos, I think you'd likely have a different opinion. And, selfishly, myself and many viewers like me want the entertainment!

@delhump22 in comp, he doesn't have a good time. We know that. Practice and prep isn't what kills him. It's mentals. Regional qualifying has never gone well. I'm not really stating anything untrue. It is what it is. It isn't going to get easier as time and age gets on unless he sees a sports therapist. Loads of guys can play. Csm they play when thr pressure and eyes are on them? Not many can and that's OK. But most wouldn't torture themselves year on year. Great KZreadr, top videos, but not a tournament guy sadly as it would be cool.

Peter Finch faced the camera(s) and Rory dodged them!!! Kudos to you. Everyone who plays golf has had "one of those days"...it hurts because you love it and wanted it and knew your goal was possible...that's also why we love watching you. Have a good cry, a good swear session and get back on the horse!

I’m shattered for you Pete. It has been such a good series and the level of golf you have played at has been so exciting to watch. I wouldn’t end on a low note. Just set another goal and smash it!

Why do people compare a 147 in Snooker and a 9 darter to a hole in one in Golf? It should be compared to shooting a 59 in Golf. There are 35 handicappers at my club who have a hole in one. It can be a total fluke. There is no way someone flukes a 147, 9 darter or a 59.

Hardest thing in golf is to beat your age, you might have a chance in your early 70’s, fitness and ability dependent, i am 67 and did it off the reds in winter, two temp greens, so doesn’t count. I was given a lesson age 14 and the pro said you will have a chance to beat your age, confused the hell out of a 14 year old, all making sense now.

Fair play mate, couldn't have been easy to record this when it's all still so raw. Not good for you but really helpful for us mere mortals to hear your struggles. Best of luck, hoping you try again next year 🤞

Thanks for taking us on the ride again!

I commend you Pete for taking on the challenge of Open Qualification. You have been playing very well, and you need to keep building on that. The journey has been great to watch and I feel that its not over yet. You are a true inspiration Pete and I look forward to the future for you.

I’m a member at Hesketh and to be fair that course at the minute is brutal only 3 under par rounds out of 149!The truth is that you tube is your bread and butter and hundreds of thousands watching you alone on the post is massive pressure on you but it’s fantastic for us to watch !! You havnt made the open but your a lot of peoples number one you tuber definitely mine keep going it’s great viewing 💪

Word

So much to learn from this…and so much two bob advice from the punters. Here is another two bob. It is clearly the bad thoughts that creep in when things aren’t going to the preconceived plan. Not feeling it, bad shot, bad putt, misread, misjudgement. Can you de-escalate and focus on the next shot or compound the error. Today shows this is where you will need to work and where the reward lies. I think you would benefit a lot from a professional caddy. I think you need to go out more when the conditions aren’t great, when you’re not feeling it, play under more pressure situations, more live audience not less. You have the game and your mental side was coming but still not quite ready when it’s not happening. Good luck, love the content. Preparing for the next qualifying starts now.

First off I love the content you guys produce, Pete you're hugely talented player and to front up after a day like that which we can all relate to is admirable. That score clearly doesn't reflect your ability and can be chalked up as "one of those days". The most interesting part was you talking about not having one shot to cling on to when the rest of the game is crumbling, that's a horrible feeling and in an event like Open Qualifying there's just no hiding place. You just want to fudge and nerdle it round when it's like that, and when even that becomes difficult the brain just melts. As a returning scratch golfer of many years and someone who's played in Open Qualifying myself a few times, I think what is underestimated probably by a lot of viewers is just the grind of having a card in your hand amongst other top rate golfers. Pressure/anxiety goes up several notches and the ability just to deal with that whilst keeping the game in check is a huge skill in itself, and if you're not doing that regularly it's very hard to show up at an event like this and just play as if it's a regular round. I've been keeping a check on my heart rate during competition rounds since returning this season and I was quite shocked how high it was despite outwardly feeling calm and in control, subconsciously I clearly wasn't. Your game is clearly improving and you strike it as well as anyone on here as Paddy said, make sure you're in it next year (hopefully I will be as well!)

The pressure of open qualifying. I was filming on the 13th when Peter was on the 3rd tee, had a nice crowd with him and hit a pull hook (thought it was OOB). Seen that so often with tour players on the first tee, smashing it on the range then not being able to replicate on the course. So hard to stay in the present over every shot because we have so much time to think. I saw a few players that day with the ability to switch on razor sharp focus, almost eliminate any doubt and produce quality swings. Maybe focus on that for next year, good luck.

STOP THE ARSE LICKING, THEY EDIT VIDEOS SO THEY LOOK GOOD, HIS ATTITUDE STINKS.

Gutted for Pete but so glad you guys were there to give him the support and love he needed. I go through these patches on the range when I literally have no idea or feeling of what i'm doing with the swing and it's frustrating to no end but for it to happen in Open Qualifying would have left you feeling so vulnerable. The post mortem may be ugly but we know you'll come back bigger and better from it!

Great podcast, great qualifying series regardless of the result. Well done Pete and the boys!

Well done Pete for being brave enough to recount your feelings after your round. Several years ago I qualified to play in Senior Open at Royal Aberdeen, which Tom Watson won after a play off with Des Smyth. I tried on every single shot in my first round and scored 88. Golf is a very humbling game, however you have shown you have the bottle Pete, well done mate.

Pete, I’ve only been following you for about 16 months but the improvements you’ve made in the last year are night and day! Gutted to hear you had a shitter of a day, doesn’t do you justice for the work you’ve put in, still the most entertaining KZread golf channel in my opinion 👍🏻

Have enjoyed this series thoroughly Pete. Very good content. So glad to have seen you make this transformation into a better golfer. Hate this didnt go your way in qualifying. But doesnt discount you are still the best in the youtube market. Keep challenging yourself and we all will keep watching.

I did exactly the same at the club champs this weekend. Couldn’t keep it in the planet. After playing well for months I had no idea where it was going. Feel for you Pete. Chin up.

Feel guttered for Pete. Can tell it hurt him. Incredible series and content and I hope he goes around again next year

It takes a lot of character to go through that level of disappointment and discuss it at length with a great degree of humour. I particularly enjoyed the fireball metaphor 😂. Also, I've played golf hammered and fat plenty of times!

Peter, well done for even trying to get over the line what I would say to you is thank you for the videos and good luck to you next year mate ❤

TEAM IS FULL OF BUTT WIPES ONLY THERE TO PAD HIS SORRY ARSE.

2 things here: You have a great channel, it helps thousands, it is fun, colourful and great to watch. It also gives you an amazing lifestyle. However, if you want to qualify for Open, you need to change everything to give yourself a chance. Play in weekly comps all year to hone your mental strength in tournament play, take lessons (that journey would be a great watch), but essentially everything needs to be put on hold if you want to qualify. There are proper hardened golfers trying to qualify, it can't be attempted half hearted. No surprise, the scores that you, Rick and Matt put in. Personally think you should concentrate on channel, it's brilliant. But if you are determined to get to Open, you have to go for it without distractions. You have the talent but you have to decide what's important for you.

I really don't like golf as a sport to watch but can't stop watching you play Pete. It wasn't your day but chin up and keep going, your positive attitude is the most amazing thing about your golf. Look forward to seeing more 😊

Long-time subscriber, back to when you wore glasses, and Rick would post vlogs of the four of you playing a full round (PLEASE start doing that again). You’re always a pleasure to watch, but this year has been particularly great and impressive. Been playing golf for 40 years, competitively and for fun, so I get the disappointment, but keep it up. Golf’s hard. You’ve helped me fix things in the swing over the years, so a supportive comment is the least I can do.

I was genuinely thinking that you stood a chance this year because from watching the videos, your golf seems to have improved tremendously in the last 12 months. Never mind though, at least you're good enough to be allowed to enter regional qualifying, which would be a dream come true for most of us.

Chin up Pete. There is alway next year! You are the best KZread golf channel, and in my opinion the best golfer to watch play! Love your personality and ethic of work on the channel and your game are an inspiration 👍🏼 keep up the great work, and go strong for next year 💪

It’s okay to be disappointed. The positives are that you have had a great year and seen massive gains in your game. You have also gained the respect of so many folk for your willingness to laugh when things don’t go your way. Don’t give up on the dream.

That surelly was a rough cut but props to Pete that he litirally filmed this minutes after the round. I hope that you'll punsh back! Support of us, your followers will the same and we as Golfers do totally understand how this feels!

Hi Peter I was following the game behind you on Monday with Stephen Warhurst who was next to you on the driving range. If it makes you feel any better he shot 4 under last week and was 11 over on the day. I’ve played golf for over 40 years mostly at 10 handicap but down to 8 at times and I don’t think I’ve been on a more difficult course before. The degree of difficulty because of how ‘tight’ it was plus the very dry conditions and very hard greens made it almost impossible. We all know the day you think you have got golf licked is the day it bites you in the backside. I asked Kieran how you were doing after 9 and he said ‘you were a few over’! Keep smiling Peter you have a lot of support on here. Also the format you have with the 3 guys makes your KZread channel the best for me and there are some very good others as well. Look forward to your future videos. All the best Roger

Great episode of the rough canoe podcast.

Don’t hang your head! You played great heading in and there are comps coming up! Keep doing what you’re doing!

We feel with you Pete! I'm happy to see that your Team has your back throughout, you are lucky to have them. What I would love to see: Pete working with a mental coach to show us how this can benefit every average golfers like us ... I wish there would be pros focused on that at my home course

Peter, despite the end result, your fans Thank You for taking us on this journey. Your fans are VERY impressed with this year's attempt in "The Quest for The Open." In addition, we are looking forward to seeing you go at it AGAIN next year. Your game is fantastic, it just did not click on "this round." As you reflect on all of it, I have a feeling that you will grow, learn, and be a better golfer in the coming future. Cheers mate!

17:29 Rough result, but isnt this why Peter Finch is one of, if not, THE most compelling golfers on youtube? Best golf running up to qualifying and then we still get relatable car-on-fire-with-no-extinguisher content immediately after. We believed in Trent Ryan, we still believe in Peter Finch.

Fair play for getting straight on and talking through it and also the shout outs especially to @andycartergolf who shot a great score in what you could see from the results were tough conditions - often the way on fiery firm links type courses in what looks like ideal weather. Hesketh is a great track and sneaky tight especially when playing firm.

I think he is already doing that, more or less. To me, that wasn't the problem this time. I really just think the course threw him for a loop. The difficulty was exceptional and, paired with his poor play, made it more or less impossible to recover, as he literally had nothing to build his base on

I have absolutely loved following you quest for the open series and I hope that you will try again next year. I think it would be great to see if you can do a series with a sports psychologist and the tools they would give you to help with improving your game. Keep up the great work and thanks for doing the podcast straight after it was raw and honest and it could have been so easy for you to jump in the car and nic off.

Absolutely jeffin’ gutted for you, Pete. I appreciate the openness (no pun intended) after having a bad day at the office. Focus on the improvements to your game lately. Onwards and upwards!

Respect for doing this straight after having a ‘mare. The series and that you were playing well probably made you put more pressure on yourself, even subconsciously.

Feel for you Pete. I can relate although my sport is snooker. Sometimes you can do all the hard work in the world and prep as you did but life has other plans. You can still make this a massive positive... you finished the round, you were strong enough to come and talk to us when its probarly the last thing you want to do and if you can manage to bounce back which im sure you will that shows true courage & love of the game. ✌️

Pete - tough round, but LOVE the content and watching your journey. I hope you will stay the course!

I appreciate seeing another person that is just mentally shellshocked after a bad round of golf where nothing goes your way. That is unfortunately the game we love. And those days are hard. But boy does it make the good days & shots all the more sweet. Keep at it Pete

Awww Pete We still live you. And I think that you are the best player on you tube. Keep up with the lovely video's ❤❤❤

I can relate so heavily to how you feel Pete. The levels are off the chart different but the emotions are the same. I'm a high handicapper and went into this year with high hopes. Started shooting some rounds in the very low 90's and upper to mid 80s and things looked great. Everything I'd been working on was coming together. Won a Wednesday medal at my club. Then boom. Forgot how to swing a club. Shot 102, 104, 108 back to back to back. It. Was. Demoralising. And depressing. Golf is such a hard sport and has so so many variables in terms of movement, tempo, mental, feel, technique etc. All it takes is one thing you don't notice being out of alignment and then boom. Don't be too hard on yourself mate. It's a blip, don't let it be a blemish.

Keep your head up Pete. That’s the game and also life yah know. Your best work shows up when you don’t necessarily need it. Then when you need it ands gone. Keep on grinding cause you’re on the brink of something big!

Pete keep the head held high, loads of us have crap days on the course, it’s a learning curve and next year you will smash it 💪

After Myrtle Beach surely you must have a go at US Open qualifier - seems like those courses really suit your game better?

great show

Gutted for you fella. Dreams can be a biyatch but never let go of them. And keep making the best content!

Hit the refresh, reset button and go again. Forget and forgiveness is the best tonic you can drink..remember Tiger this year in the masters 82..move on and keep your head held high..respect to you for having a go in the first place 👍

All love Peter ❤

Do not beat yourself up Pete, it would have been great to see you qualify and then how you got to Germany. Thanks to you and the team for all the great content, keep up the good work❤

Couldn't wait and had to see the results of you, Andy C, Shiels and Fryer on the Open regionals website.

Oof! You and Rick both had very unusual rounds. Awesome work getting out there!!

Peter Peter I was looking out for your result yesterday I watched all your work and build up to see your score I felt for you pal

Feel for you Pete. The one noticeable thing I did notice about the series is when you took that advice from padraig your game totally changed so maybe some kind of mindset coach for the future events to help you stay focused when it goes wrong.

As someone who has played a lot of competitive golf (Amateur Players Tour) I feel for you. It's so hard to show up, keep your emotions & expectations in check and just focus on each shot. You'll learn from it and be better for this experience.

Its a real shame Pete, you have worked so hard and you deserve massive respect. get your chin up and get back to grinding, you have been playing really well mate. Good luck for the rest of 2024.

Please do not give up. Make sure you are back next year. Quitters never prosper

Keep on trucking Pete - we have all seen that you can do it!! Your time will come - Keep at it!!!

Unlucky Pete you have the quality in the locker to qualify keep going mate

Pete, I really feel for you bud, but you are genuinely the best golf KZreadr, the recent content has been next level... enjoy the beer Keller's 🍻

Hey team, any chance you could check out the levels on the recording? I have to play on top volume to hear (on Amazon music) and then get my ear drums blasted when the ads come on. Keep up the awesome work!

Sounds brutal but still my favourite KZreadr, you've been playing some amazing golf just wasn't the day today

One round doesn’t reflect the upwards performance levels u have shown this year! After many years away from the game, u and the team make this great game fun and relevant, keep up the great work!

respect to Pete for not pulling a McIlroy and opening up about round, all that build up and grinding your game only to have a bad day is tough

As I learned two weeks ago, the secret to great golf is to ride to the course with an absolute maniac. You have no nerves left for golf after praying to survive the trip. Maybe Keiran can help you out next year.

Been in the Artisans hut, when I played them in a league match 👍🏻

I've seen tournament golf courses turn scratch handicaps into 10/12 handicaps many, many, many times. Golf's difficulty levels can vary greatly, especially in tournament play.

15:05 I totally agree. You are still a PLAYER the only way from here is UP!! 💪

The way Peter has been playing I was really hopeful that he’d make it through this stage. But a) conditions b) expectations and c) the golfing gods clearly had other ideas. It has been however, as ever, great fun for us to watch the preparation and process that Peter has gone through to attempt to qualify. My main takeaways are, just how good are the quys who do make it and who are at the top of the game (answer: unimaginably good) and also how much mental clarity and strength matters at the top level. Hope Peter does it all again next year. He’s definitely good enough, and hopefully over time will learn and take some lessons from today

Always next year dude. You are playing great golf atm; you can get better too

Been there just playing by myself so I'm sure actually qualifying could go way worse....Keep up the great stuff Pete and Team!!!

Pete doing his best Micah impression.

Sorry for your bad day. I don't know why things happen the way they do, but I hope this will make you stronger than ever. You will look back on this and will be thankful for the experience. I mean this with all the brotherly love. Sorry again for your rotten day. We all know how hard you wanted this, and we wanted it for you also .you are still the best .I can't wait for next year. God bless

Great prep Pete, you got better at the game. You had a bad round yes, but hey we all do that. Qualifying for an Open is tough work normally on a very tough course.

It's a smack in the face to us all. We've been following you for some time and watching as it seemed you were getting closer and closer to playing like an Open player. It just shows how hard professional golf is. Playing for money, honour, prestige, fame is always going to be hard - whether it's golf, darts, poker, whatever. But you're out there playing and competing. You're a professional golfer earning a good living doing what you love. You're playing better than a gazzillion people who just bash it round the course. You're out there travelling the World playing and making hundreds of thousands of viewers happy. It's a great CV Finch!! My friend who writes the SUMO books and does courses on picking yourself up after something like that would say, " Finch, you can have two days - 48 hours - of wallowing in self-pity and depression. After that - SHUT UP - MOVE ON!!" I'm sure Paul McGee who runs courses on SUMO would love to meet up and do a video on picking yourself up and what's next. That would be a really really positive relaunch of everything AND it would do you good Finch!

Pick yourself up Pete, take stock and go again. Golf beats us all up at times but we still love it. Fair play to you for doing it in front of a camera.

Even the best players can have a bad round. As you say Nellie Korda shot an 81 recently. It’s not the end of the world no matter how disappointing it is for you Peter.
