I had an 11 on the 11th and finished 11 over. I’M FREAKING OUT OVER HERE!! Thanks for watching everyone, love the fact you’re sharing time with me ❤️
what was the par for the 11th?
Dont worry Pete most days I'm out on the course 11 over would be a dream for me as a total score. I'm still trying to figure out my handicap though. Any tips on how I could figure out what mine is?

Not 11!

Tough luck Pete, you’ve got the right attitude! You’ll bounce back! Happens to the best of us, I had a 9 on route to a 4 over 74 and miss out in our club champs by 1 stroke...
Pete, for those of us who shoot over 100 on a regular basis - Thank You for this video!
The Golf Gods are cruel masters and we the unwashed masses all think in our heads we could be a scratch golfer "I would have been great if only I had *drove *chipped *putted like I know I can 10% of the time"
Your honesty in this edit is massively appreciated - I'm sure watching the 11th hole again would have been painful to review
Looking forward to the next one in which I'm sure you'll shoot a Tigeresque score again!
Pete I love this video, the honesty is refreshing and as a new player to golf, makes me feel a whole lot better. The golf gods will reward you for the awful 11th with a great next round....Trust me ;0)
I hope so 😂 thanks Alicia
Hats off to you Pete. I can only imagine how raw that experience felt. Thank you for sharing not only the focus and practice leading up to the comp, as well as the results of that, but the weakness and oversight that was there as well. It is one of the things I love about the Quest for the Open series. There is so much to this game, and you are at a level that I never see myself achieving. It is exciting to "share the journey" with someone of your skill and get to live the experience a little bit via your videos. Keep it up mate!
Loving these videos and how honestly you're showing the up's and down's. Good on you for sharing these experiences as I know they're helping a lot of people. You're a very talented golfer Mr Finch and YOU CAN make it to the open. Keep at it mate, we're all cheering for you
Pete I really appreciate this video. Been watching a while and you’ve not only improved my game but increased my interest and appreciation of golf. A man who shares his failures is far more interesting than a man who only shares his victories.
Great job getting out of your head and back on pace after the 11th that is a great lesson in not compounding mistakes. Watching you and Rick got me back into golf after a bad back injury which kept me from walking for a year and then off the course for another year after that. I developed a serious fear of golf and even went so far as to sell all my clubs. Watching both your channels has reignited the passion and I went to the range for the first time in 2 years the week before last and had a fantastic time with my dad. I can't thank you enough for your hard work on CZcams sharing with us both the good and the bad and for the great coaching. I truly do appreciate it as thanks to you guys I'm back at it.
A really refreshing video and I'm someone who can be really hard on themselves and this effects my game so could feel your pain. Keep going, keep turning up and your mind will get used to all this. An important video in the current climate where mental health is so important. Thanks for this Pete.
What an amazing series!! Really love hearing about your practice drills/competitive round analysis. Best of luck in your upcoming competitions!
No one ever enjoys a bad score on a hole. Kudos to you to share this experience for others to see. Most often I don't like to look at the scorecard after the round with big numbers on it, let alone record my reaction on video. Really enjoy the content and appreciate the real look at your game and what you're working on.
Well done Pete. Takes a lot for you to push this out there and be honest about it. Golf was put here to test our mental attitudes. Onwards and upwards. Looking forward to the next vid! My first comp tomorrow since lockdown and it’s a medal!!!!
Keep going Pete , we all know you can do it and we’re right behind you. Really enjoy the channel , it has inspired me to play golf again , and enjoying the good stuff and learning from the not so good moments.
Appreciate the honesty Pete! Good on you for finishing strong. Shows how tricky it is to stick at it at every level
Honestly it’s inspiring to see you as such a good golfer embrace and move on from a bad experience/hole, head up Pete ❗️
Glad you showed us this vlog Peter - its something we can all relate to I guess and seeing you deal with it is very helpful. I look forward to your follow on vlogs and your next comps - I am 100% sure you will do so much better in them,
Cheers!
I love the honesty here. This is why this is such a valuable series to watch. I imagine all golfers who take the game at all seriously have had that period of panic, where the walls close in and the self-doubt creeps to the front of your consciousness. "The Demons" as Mike Malaska calls them. The fact that you were able to collect yourself and play better immediately after such a nightmare hole is the real lesson here. So often with amateurs that nightmare hole bleeds over for the next several holes and becomes a disaster. Such a great series. Keep battling on Pete.
Pete - you are just the best guy in golf. pure and simple. I could watch your vids all day. 11over. mental but brilliant at the same time.
Pete, I've been enjoying your videos for a year now but this one really stands out. I truly respect your honesty and how you are not letting this one bad day wreck your aspirations. You probably can't hear it from across the lake, but I'm cheering you on from South Carolina.
That’s a tough one, Pete! Thanks for sharing the pain with us as much as you do the fun. So great that you keep it real!
Love the honesty Pete. An inspiration to acceptance as a key part to learning! Better golf to come!
Love love love the putting dedication Pete, you have helped my motivation for my own practice loads, thank you and good luck in future comps 👍🏻🏌🏻♂️⛳️
This was actually incredibly encouraging. As a guy coming back to golf after 15 plus years off, and struggling to score despite knowing I can play better, it's actually very good to see everyone has their own version of that struggle. I admire you, Rick Shiels and Clay Ballard for your clear, simplistic versions of complicated concepts and hope to one day perform even half as well as you all have achieved, albeit in different ways. Keep at it, and I will eagerly await watching you surpass this latest hurdle.
Thank you for your honesty, transparency, and ....raw exposure. Sharing that experience is one we all know too well...but you allowing us into that heartbreak was educational and heartwarming.
Fair play for being so honest and letting us in on how it is all going. I love this series 👍
Pete, the videos are just great. I love that you’re sharing your experience of the journey with us. Can’t wait to root for you on the full tour!! Hopefully you can light that fire in your gut that causes intense focus! Don’t beat yourself up over the 11, get determined to never let that happen again. Your next 11 will be 11 birdies on a score card. Good luck out there!
I'm really enjoying this series. I admire your authenticity and I'm cheering for you. You have one of the nicest swings I have witnessed and I think it's more a mental hurdle that you are on the precipice of conquering. Good luck mate.
Much respect for showing your vulnerabilities. We all have those days, those holes, those times when the pressure gets to us. The difference is that we don't usually show that for the world to see. Good luck on your quest. We're all rooting for you.
Enjoyed this Pete. Great honesty. It's all mental. Relax, relax, relax and have faith in your natural talent.
Love the authenticity of your video - class you being so honest.
Great video Pete, really honest about your game and the experiences you have. I like that your able to talk about it and not take yourself too seriously! Keep them coming you will get there
I love the honesty in this video Pete and think it's great that you share the good with the bad, gives a bad golfer like me some hope.
Pete, I appreciate your honesty and humility, it's why I enjoy your channel so much.
I absolutely love this series, Pete. I love your honesty and the truth that this game demands in every single one of us who pursues it: it’s a ridiculously hard game! Keep up the good work.
Your humility is fantastic. Thank you!
Great video! Everyone posts the perfect results but seeing the real life struggles makes you relatable. The bad holes happen to us all so well done keeping the content real and......painful. I’m rooting for you, keep moving forward 💪🏻🥃
Thanks for sharing, Pete. It’s actually a bit endearing and reassuring to know that you’re working hard on your own game as well as the improvement of others. And you’re learning from your own shortfalls too, which simply shows us you’re human. Way to go, man.
love the honesty. I can't imagine how you felt walking off the green with your peers there, can't have been easy to carry on but you did and by the sounds of things played well. Have watched your videos for years keep going I am sure you will get there and also get the allusive hole in one. you show what hard work and perseverance can do.
Loved this video, the nerves of competitive golf are a fascinating thing. I miss it at times because the triumphs always feel so good, but the failures sure do hurt. I'll never forget the 12 I had in Sectional my senior year of high school. Haunts my dreams to this day!
Another great great video, Pete. The honesty is so appreciated by those of us who could easily capitulate on any hole. If it makes you feel better, I played a club comp and was -3 under my handicap when I stepped up to the 8th and lost my tee shot and 3 provisionals all out of bounds on the easiest hole on the course. Keep going!
You got this man, thanks for sharing, that’s the first part of healing
I got faith in you, and a lot more do as well
Proper, REAL content. Very interesting to watch. Well done and good luck for the upcoming competitions.
Very admirable that you managed to carry on and not let it get to you as much as it would others! Well played and well done! Loving all the content you post and excited to see the next one! 💪🏼💪🏼🙌🏼
Good on ya Pete, very open and honest. We are behind you, cheering you on.
Bravo and kudos for the openness and honesty. Best wishes in all your ventures. 👍🏼
Soooo grateful you shared this video and so positive!! A big thank you. I have no doubt you will do very well in the forthcoming events
Love the honesty and the knowledge passed on keep the quest going 👍
Hey mate,
Cheers for being so honest, both about how you scored, but also about mentality and moving forward. Love your content. Keep pushing!
I know it doesn't help for you but it's so good to hear these stories. I think as amateur golfers we need the reassurance it's not just us! Keep it up Pete, great video.
Thank you Pete ! This gave so much insight into competition golf, I’m yet to play a comp partly because of posting a bad score. So I’m gonna take it on thanks to you !
Great content Mr. Finch! Your honesty is extremely refreshing and a lot of us can learn/relate with your struggles on hole 11! If you would, please try to get some more left-handed golfers on the channel! As a south paw, it's refreshing to watch you play with other lefties and examine their swings! All the best!
Pete,, I feel your pain but also see a determination in your words that inspires.. keep up the good work
Pete I love your honesty, hard work always pays off so you will be fine. Having an 11 could have ruined the whole round but you bounced back and finished well so you should be proud of that and take the positives from it 👍
Excellent game reading lessons, thanks coach! “Whenever all things goes bad, trust your swing and play” (I guess someone before already said)
Love the Chin up attitude and taking what is a bad situation and making the best of it as a learning and teaching point.
I enjoy all of your videos and being honest with us over all aspects of your game makes you just that much more enjoyable.
Over the weekend I played a course that I hadn't been on in 3 years. It is a premier local course and very challenging. In 2017 I had just taken up the game and really had no business playing this course. I shot around 120 and lost 14 golf balls. On Saturday I was so nervous teeing it up at the beginning but once I got the first shot into the fairway it was nothing but smiles for the rest of the day. This time I shot right at 100 and lost no balls. The 13 three putts were my down fall but coming off of 18 I felt so great. This video just keeps me motivated to keep practicing.
This was an awesome video and I loved the honesty. We have all had that hole we blow up on before and i usually can't get the round back on track but I think this could help me with trying a few thing to help try regain the round. 👌🏼
Glad you shared the story of the 11th, I've just started to play and it's comforting that it happens to everyone and you can laugh about it in the end!
Thanks for sharing your journey, Pete. Warts and all, very brave.
Keep your head up Pete. I can identify with everything you described in the video through literally every round of golf. You had 17/18 holes that were still good. One bad hole does not make a bad golfer.
I have learnt a lot since I started watching your videos so you're definitely doing a lot right.
Definitely keen to hear how the mental coaching sessions go as I want to work on that as well.
Keep on smiling, the good times are just around the corner. Oh, and never stop having fun. It's why we play this game in the first place.
Thanks for sharing that with us Peter. What a brilliant insight for a desperately keen, but often under talented, amateur hackster like myself. Love your honesty mate. I really wish you well.
I'm glad to see you're taking this adversity well and taking the necessary steps to fix it. that's character building... We're all pulling for you Pete! There's an amazing round for every crappy one and I have a feeling there's an amazing one coming up! Cheers
I’ve just got into golf, played football all my life along with indoor and outdoor bowling. My touch around the green and putting is surprisingly very good, irons ok but my big clubs are woeful. Since lockdown I’ve been hooked on your videos along with, Rick, Matt and James. The help you give us all is superb... helping people break down the mechanics of golf is very insightful. I now coach football and I encourage a positive mental attitude, growth mindset is something I’m taking into golf, all small wins and no negatives
Great video mate, really love to hear about your comps, good and bad ones. You will learn and come out stronger. No expectations next comp and you will shoot low, you have the game for it🙂
really good of you to upload this, could of avoided showing us this truthful video so thanks, helped a beginner like me realise even the good players have bad rounds
Honest video. We mere mortals playing off 22 have done that on an irregular basis. Loved to see your honesty. It’s only golf!!
Thanks for being so honest and sharing this. I love your content!
Respect Peter, I admire you for sharing this in public. There are many coaches out there who may not have been so honest. We all have "head's gone" moments in the course, but as you say, its how we learn from them that makes us better players under pressure.
Amazing reflection Peter, I think the most telling and useful thing that takes no talent at all, is what you mentioned about seeing the golf course. It’s so easy to get lost in a round thinking about your grip, or swing keys, or blowing up mentally...but simple things like watching other players shots into a green, how they roll out...actually looking at the slope of the green as you walk up the fairway instead of hanging your head and grumbling about being in the bunker. Really making use of all the info available to you is something you need to constantly remind yourself of. Great series as always!
Really appreciate you sharing this! It's reassuring as an inconsistent amateur to see that those blow-ups can happen to anyone. Really looking forward to seeing the videos on the mental side, such a key part of the game
Hats off for sharing Pete. Keep grinding, we're all on the journey with you. Very keen to see some more content from you on the mental side or even working with sports psychologists. When relaxed, your game is 🔥
Love the honesty of this video. Subscribed.
You're getting there Pete. Your ability to step back and really evaluate what went wrong and how to correct in in the future is what will set you apart from other competitors as you get comfortable in your profession. Great analysis and self-critique. I know I'll see you on the Tour soon!
Quest for the open and honest conversation about your own game, allowing your audience greater insight into those strengths and weaknesses has been achieved. Nice one Pete, there is always the next round.
I love that you shared this. I know you are playing in a comp, but that doesn't mean it can't be fun. Enjoy yourself out there and don't forget why we all play. You're doing great Pete.
Don’t know you Pete - we’ll likely never meet, but wanted to share some encouragement. Chin up. You’ve done a lot for the game of golf, and have a remarkable attitude to be able to make hard times so public. Thanks for all that you do for Golf and it’s community. Wishing you all the best.
Terrific video, Pete. It just underscores that 'Golf is hard'. Thanks for sharing and good luck for the next round!
Chin up, Pete, you’re the man! And we certainly appreciate that you are so transparent with your failures as well as your successes!
Keep forging on Sir. Completely enjoy your excellent videos. Do to health, I no longer can play Golf and your continued quest helps me enjoy the memories of this awesome game I love. Thank you for your continued hard work and pursuit for excellence. 👏
Love the honesty, mate. You’ll get there!!
great video Pete, thanks for the honesty. love it
Great Video ,Looking forward to your next round ,Good Luck and What a great attitude you have .
Hats off for sharing this video. Pretty inspiring. I've only ever played one comp and was dreadful. It was alternate shots and I shanked so much from nerves even tho it meant nothing. One par three I hit a tree and the ball ended up behind me! Golf is such a mental game, as much mentality as skill I'm sure
To teach you need to know, and you KNOW golf Pete. Dealing with anxiety is as hard a task as fixing my driver pull slice. Keep at it Pete. We'll be watching, and you'll get there.
I really like how honest you are about your game, keep it up.
Great attitude man. No such thing as loosing, only winning and learning, always something to gain or take from it. Keep at it pal.
You will get there the mental side of golf is the toughest part to overcome. Getting someone to help you with that is good idea, it's the only thing holding you back, getting over this hurdle mentally will be brilliant, you can achieve getting to the Open I know you can whether it's this year or next you will get there. Love your videos as always Pete
Peter that was another fantastic video mate. Top drawer. Well done and keep the faith !! It’s never only golf !!!
Thanks for your honesty Peter, I can assure you that we can all learn from this along with you and the same for the mental side of the game when things don’t go our way and we have to shut out what just happened, relax, refocus and go again.
Love how honest you are about the 11. Makes me feel better that it happens to you. I played my first comp in about 20 years on sat and had 2 11s. Mental game is deffo tough to work on.
Bounce backability is all important in this mad and beautiful game. Thanks for sharing so openly. It's been a while since I saw an eleven though 😬. Looking forward to seeing how you get on in the upcoming comps, good luck, putting looked good!
Great video, Pete. I appreciate showing us the bad with the good, keep it up!
Loving the series Peter! It takes a huge amount of courage to talk us through what happened on the 11th hole. I still remember Kevin Na carding a 16 in a PGA tour event years ago so don't feel bad. If golf was an easy game, we'd all be on the tour! Best of luck to you in the future and crossing my fingers to see you at the Open soon! By the way, we have great weather year round here in northern California and plenty of spectacular courses to play!
Great video Pete. Your humour will keep your spirits up and you’ll achieve your goal. Nothing worth having comes easy 👍
So much admiration for your honesty and openness. It’s easy to disguise blemishes online and selectively create an unrealistic image of perfection, particularly for pros. But that’s not how life is. I’m a professional performer myself and understand this conundrum as much as anyone. It’s so refreshing to see that even the guys at the top of their game can have bad days and need to keep working at it. We never, ever see that online. Thank you, Pete. Also great to see how much your working at your game and how much you want to step up to the next level. Really inspirational and makes me feel less of a chump for spending 6 hours a day in the practice room. Will be waving the Finch Flag at The Open when it finally happens.
Keep going Pete you legend. Watched so many of your videos and they motivate me massively. Well done for picking yourself up. Your time will come for sure.
Love that course where the have a “tardis” available when the gale force wind and rain arrives! I’m a single digit handicapper Pete - once had a 17 on a par 4 in the Rocky Mountains (the weather was diabolical - but then again - 17!!!) Love these vlogs Pete- keep working!
Appreciate your openness and honesty
Fair play! Refreshing to see the honesty! Keep that chin up!
Well done Pete. Ur doing a fantastic job and good luck for ur next comp!!
I love your vo
Logs. I know how nerves can break you down. Try to remember that you can’t overcome without a struggle.
