    If I may. This really hits home for me. My father was a lifelong golfer. I never showed any interest. I was a Skate punk. Art nerd etc. never showed any interest. He passed away a few years ago. And when I was cleaning some of his things out of the garage. There was his clubs... I couldn’t bring myself to throw away or donate them. So I took them to the local range instead. I am now 100 percent a golfer. It’s all I think about. Talk about. Sometimes I just wish this had happened earlier. To have shared this experience with him. To be a able to talk about golf with him. Play golf with him. Just have that connection. So this is just so incredibly beautiful. Just magical my friend. Magical.

    Oh Peter, to treat your Dad with a gift like that.... not just you --- but what it meant for him!!! Like many, I watch with tears. My Dad and I got to golf a bit some yrs ago and totally enjoyed it. Remembering the 1st time he'd taken me; in my late teens ... I hated it. 1st swing, I remember vividly -- I missed and couldn't hit the ball straight; he laughed but he really wanted me to enjoy a sport that he did, especially earlier in his life. I didn't "get" the game -- and looking back to that time, it kinda hurt his feelings. Later in my thirties, we started again with my much improved appreciation for the game!!! I grew up playing baseball -- so that explains my unsuccessful endeavor early on. I tell this story in remembrance of Dad who passed in early March......... cherish these times Peter, for they are PRICELESS!!! Nice job my friend, nice job!

    A wonderful day for you and your father Peter. The smile on your Dad's face the entire day was priceless. It reminds me of many a day fishing on the river, or hunting game with my father when I was younger. He passed on 19 years ago today. Your video of you and your father at St. Andrews is perfect timing for me personally. It reminded me to spend the day with a smile on my face remembering those great times with my Dad instead of focusing on how much I miss him. God Bless and thank you.

  • @myopenmind527
    @myopenmind527 5 лет назад +1

    Played it three times nearly a decade ago. Real psychological pressure on the first tee. The fairway is so wide it’s the burn you should worried about. It’s never diver unless into a strong wind. I played 5w every day and had no more than 9i or PW into the green.
    Managed a net 64 on the first day. Hiring a caddie is a must. Tip generously. I had the same caddie all three days. Added so much in terms of lines off tees and club selection. He like the old course was steeped in history. Plenty of memorable anecdotes.

  • @richardvalentine4133

    What a video Peter, I took up golf 3 years ago because my dad started playing so we could play a competitive sport together. Seeing you and your dad play like this reminds me so much of the importance of family and just how the sport golf can bring people together. Kudos sir, I hope me and my father can one day enjoy the same experience. Keep doing what your doing mate, love the content, love the personalities. Bang tidy.

    Awesome video Pete. The smile on your Dads face all the way around the course is just priceless. Precious memories captured forever. Enjoy every moment with your Dad on the course as sadly my rounds of golf with my Dad ended twenty years ago and not a game goes by without me wishing he was still playing the game with me. Keep producing the videos. Thanks.

    Pete it’s the most beautiful video. My father just passed away few months ago. He loved playing golf and he asked me to play with him but I wasn’t a big fan of golf back then. I started picking golf up again and enjoying it about the same time he diagnosed his illness and I nvr hv the chance again to play a round with him. Treasure the time with ur love ones.

    I'm one year late. Great to see you still having your dad around mate. I lost mine 3 years ago. I'm now having my own kids and I usually take my 15 year old son (He has 2 older brothers, all grownups) to a weekend golf giving each other trash talk about how poor we play golf. The weekend is always something to look forward to as it's really the only time I get to spend quality time with my son.

I’m 51 now and St Andrews old is still on my bucket list. Played the Castle last year. Green Highland Hills in the middle was perfect for the setting and made the video for me. Keep up the good work Peter love watching your adventures.

    Such memories. My wife and I drove up from London to St Andrews on Christmas Day 2008. Nobody on the road at all so very pleasant drive. Played Duke's on Boxing day and then the Old Course in the 27th. Perfect weather both days and I was able to join a couple of locals on the Old Course who managed to help me avoid most of the trouble. Can't forget stopping at the coffee hut after the 9th where the chap automatically added whiskey (Good on ya mate). Memorable drive over the buildings on the Road Hole and a photo with my wife on Swilcan Bridge. Back home in New Zealand now with kids so I expect that may be the highlight of my golfing life

    Hey Pete! Im amazed that I havent watched this video until today but this was awesome! My dad has limited mobility after a car accident that broke his neck a few years back, so he has slowed down quite a bit. I would love to do something like this with him, so watching this really brought on some emotions for me. I am glad you guys had such an awesome trip and you brought that smile to your dads face!

    What a great surprise for your dad! I got to visit St. Andrews last year as a day excursion from a cruise ship. Not enough time for a round of golf. however. Went to the last day of The Open at Carnoustie the following day, so had a great golfing experience. I loved the video and the music was a nice touch. You almost came out of your shoes on your Road Hole tee shot. Reminded me of myself!! Can't wait to do a Scottish golf trip before I'm too old. Cheers!!
