That putting display by TJ was out of this world. I’m sure he’s played the course hundreds of times but that was incredible. You also played well Pete! Best content!
I was in ireland in 2016 family vacation, we played old head golf links, it was breathtaking, some of the holes were like a video game. The 18th hole back tee box was on the side of a cliff my knees were shaking, my son at 18 was like this is so cool
had the pleasure of playing there on an empty course in 30mph wins with a caddie. By far and away superior to other top courses I have played included Wentworth, Woburn, Old Course etc,
Our group had an amazing trip last month and played two rounds at Lahinch. We also played Ballybunion, Tralee, Dooks, Waterville and Old Head. This is by far the best video we have seen that captures the incredible experience we had there. Great work!!!
I was fortunate to play the magnificent Lahinch about 30 years ago, so loved seeing this video to bring it all back. My abiding memories were the blind par 3 - i didn’t realise such a thing existed - and a tee somewhere in the middle of the round from which there was no sign of a fairway or a golf course. We had no idea in which direction to drive and had to wait for the caddies in the group behind to catch up and tell us.
Thanks Peter & team for a really enjoyable day on the links! Glad the video turned out well and look forward to following the rest of your Irish trip shortly ☘️ Sláinte
oh MAN I've been waiting for you to play Lahinch! I am a midwestern American that played Lahinch ONCE on a whim because of a nice stranger on a trip to Ireland years ago and I've yearned for it since.
Love Pete’s banter and his ability to engage not only us his audience but his non-RUclips playing partners as well. Quality stuff and seems so natural - even though he is ‘working!’ Enjoying this more than the tv talk shows AND there are views and golf too. lol!
Amazing place. I was fortunate enough to play college golf at Illinois State. My Junior year, my coach scheduled the team to play a "match play tournament" against local club champions from SW Ireland. We played Lahinch, Killarney, Waterville, Ballybunion, and Tralee. The weather was absolutely terrible but it was an amazing experience. I shot 74 at Waterville, 77 at Tralee, 78 at Killarney, 80 something at Lahinch and if we had played more than 15 holes and counted all the shots at Ballybunion I doubt I would have broken 100.
What a great course. TJ is such a natural golfer and supernatural putter. The secret to links golf is hit the fairways and find the greens. Well played on the back nine Pete!
I’m lucky to have played Lahinch last year. Even with constant rain and 10-20 mph winds I was smiling the whole way around. Best course in the world ☘️ 🇮🇪
Keep going, Pete. We all have bad days, just the timing. Keep working hard on the mental side that Padraig was helping you with. It's still not there yet
Bravo Pete and so good of you to share. Lahinch isn't a long course as shown in the scorebook, but finding fairways is essential while battling strong winds. I think if you played it again you could shave off 3-5 strokes and shoot par. My oldest son and I have begun preliminary talks about a golf trip to Ireland. Having now seen the course courtesy of you, it would be irresponsible to avoid the west coast of Ireland. All the best and good luck qualifying for the Open!!
Was a member there 1990, One of the best golf course I've played. Mostly played the castle course due to high hcp I had in the beginning. Started playing -88
Thank you Peter for filming these beautiful courses and showing them to us. Closest thing to actually being there is watching you navigate yourself around these beauties.
I want to know his score as well! HIs ball was always on the green which meant his first putt was going in! Damn - same putter for both as well 🙂 - not a shot at Pete since this guy was just draining everything from everywhere.
Even for a +5 handicap, you could tell that he was surprising himself with how many were falling. That had to be a mid-60's round unless he had a few blowup holes that we didn't see off camera. You could tell that he pitched a few shots within gimmie distance as well! Guys that are that good with no pressure on them, it's amazing to watch.
His SwingQuest channel helped me from considering a hybrid set out of frustration to playing blades. Always entertaining and my favorite golf channel ⛳️ 🏌️♂️
Second time I've watched this and enjoyed it again. Very fun to watch Peter knock it around on such a difficult, amazing course. Incredible putting display by his playing partner. Thanks for the video, Peter!
Well done Peter welcome to Ireland on a breezy day to a beautiful but really tough Course and TJ had a really great round .you need to come back in mid September when it's a bit milder for a rematch really enjoyed the game 😊
Hi Peter, great to see you play some of the best courses in Ireland. Please tell me you played my local course Trump Doonbeg which was only 20mins away. It is definitely a must play a long with Lahinch, Ballybunion, Tralee, Waterville and Old Head.
What a course this is! Being a links man Pete would be great to see you hit the Kent coast and play Princes, Royal St Georges and Royal Cinque Ports… imagine you’d adore them especially the history of St Georges
Brilliant course, looks like the ultimate golf experience. TJ's putting was incredible and I reckon Padraig has moved Pete's mindset to a much better place now - still work in progress though 😂
The west of Ireland is home to a host of genuinely great golf courses. Next time get yourself to Belmullet in County Mayo and play Carne. It’s a trek but the golf course is otherworldly.
Totally agree! Have played Ballybunion, Tralee, Killarney, Mount Juliet, K Club to mention a few, and Lahinch tops them. Shot mid 70's there (I'm an average golfer) but my fondest memory was teeing off and only being able to see 150 yards due to mist. Having mist the green right with my approach I had a blind chip (the green is 15ft above you) which was received with words of "nice chip". Once I made it up the steep bank I could only see a ball 30ft from the hole, which was OK at best. So imagine my surprise when I walked past the hole and was asked whether "I would take my ball out of the hole?" Nice Chip is a bit of an understatement. Anyway, -1 after 1 and didn't see the ball finish for any of the 3 shots!
Awesome golf course. You weren't wrong, Pete. Jaw-dropping. If I ever get to the homeland, this is at the top of my list of courses to play. If only I could put like TJ. I mean, how is that even possible? No wonder he is a +5.
I know you have coastline courses closer to home, but it'd be nice to see you play Cabot cliff in Nova Scotia, I'm sure you'd love it and i'd kill to play that course! Cheers pete. Keep up the content!
Played there near enough when I first started playing golf, one a four ball at work. The 3 other lads where solid. I lost over a dozen balls but still one of the most enjoyable days out I've had golfing to date.
Seriously, you make the best golf content I've seen Peter. I can't believe you don't have closer to a million subscribers. I'd love to know what TJ scored and how few putts he had as he was on fire with the putter.
hi pete for the last six months you guys are smashing the you tube competition your way of filming and shot tracers plus just your commentry is head n shoulders above rick sheils etc keep up the great work👍 also just a quick one ?? why is your podcast volumd so low ?? i struggle to hear it when driving ?? cheers big dog👍👍
Wow, Peter. Those are very narrow fairways. It looks like the maintenance crew can now the whole course in an afternoon, WITH WALK BEHIND MOWERS! Not for hackers like me, judging by how hard it was for you. Great video.
Cheers to TJ!. Lights out on the Lab putter & refreshingly humble with his Rye smile and "thank you" on the 18th. Keep grinding Pete...Paddy's always has your back. 🍻
Love the production again, and the course looks incredible. May I suggest you put the name of the golf course in the title or description so people can find it easier.
It's a great course and there's many others also that you should play in Ireland... So many absolutely stunning and very challenging courses both parkland and links.. And what a player to play Lahinch with, TJ has been one of the best golfers in Ireland for years coming through the underage ranks and amateur ranks, should really try go America to play as he'd make it.. Played many years against him in the provinces matchplay,The west and North of Ireland Championship and many others... An all around really good lad and golfer.
Ok Pete, i subscribed. You convinced me. I have been watching ur vids since u started posting them along with Rick shields however, ur game has improved unlike shields's game. The thing that stuns me about ur swing the most is how easy u swing a 115 mile per hour clubhead speed so smoothly, by God. Great videos and great swing dude...oh by the way that pinky underwear is a no no. Come on dude.....just kidding bro. Great swing.
Wow..... I'd be checking TJ's pockets for little green men. That putting is world class! I'm so jealous. The relaxed nature just adds to it too. 20 foot putt drained..... yeah, whatever. 💚 🤍 🧡
Just the wind Peter, Lahinch is special, you really need to play the wind, those high elevation Roryesque drives not the formula, need to playing down on every tee-shot. Honestly in my experience of Lahinch, that was a quiet day. A decent but normal blow in Lahinch is 40-50km per hour. A one iron is a great club in lahinch!
Loved the Irish colours on the tracer. Somebody had a brilliant editing idea.
The tri-colour shot tracer is a think of beauty. Bravo Mr Editor! 🟢⚪🟠
That putting display by TJ was out of this world. I’m sure he’s played the course hundreds of times but that was incredible. You also played well Pete! Best content!
No point in wielding a branding iron if you don’t hole putts with it
If Pete doesn't fly back to Ireland for a match play with TJ, he's just leaving likes and subscriptions on the table.
Lol. True
Any chance that Pete snuck TJ’s L.A.B. that really works into his bag before leaving? lol!
He can drive
There might be a more fun course somewhere on the planet, but I haven’t played it. Remarkable course and the members are lovely.
I was in ireland in 2016 family vacation, we played old head golf links, it was breathtaking, some of the holes were like a video game. The 18th hole back tee box was on the side of a cliff my knees were shaking, my son at 18 was like this is so cool

TJ is quite an unbelievable player,lovely swing allied to magic with the putter

Can we get Pete to a million subs? He has one of the best golf channels on RUclips
Thanks Peter & team for a really enjoyable day on the links!
Glad the video turned out well and look forward to following the rest of your Irish trip shortly ☘️

Well played, sir! I have to ask… what did you shoot?!
oh MAN I've been waiting for you to play Lahinch! I am a midwestern American that played Lahinch ONCE on a whim because of a nice stranger on a trip to Ireland years ago and I've yearned for it since.
You really got lucky on that whim. It's one of the best courses on the planet. Jon Rahm says it's his favourite course of them all.
Love Pete’s banter and his ability to engage not only us his audience but his non-RUclips playing partners as well. Quality stuff and seems so natural - even though he is ‘working!’ Enjoying this more than the tv talk shows AND there are views and golf too. lol!
Drove by this course when I was visiting Ireland a few years back and it looked unbeleiveable. So cool to see it featured on the channel
Amazing place. I was fortunate enough to play college golf at Illinois State.

This was top 2 for me on my Ireland/Scotland golf trip. Fantastic course!
What was No 1? Royal Dornoch?
Can't figure why your not at a million subscribers Pete, your my favorite UK golfer. Best of luck at your qualifier for the Open.
I’m lucky to have played Lahinch last year. Even with constant rain and 10-20 mph winds I was smiling the whole way around. Best course in the world ☘️ 🇮🇪
Incredible spot
Keep going, Pete. We all have bad days, just the timing. Keep working hard on the mental side that Padraig was helping you with. It's still not there yet
Don't even think it was a bad day. Course looks brutally tight and he did to well keep any double bogeys off the card.
Bravo Pete and so good of you to share. Lahinch isn't a long course as shown in the scorebook, but finding fairways is essential while battling strong winds.

Get yourself to Western Gailes near Troon Pete! Even trickier on a windy day ! 💨 💨
Nice touch on the shot tracers ;) What a course 😲😲! Keep up the great content Pete! 🏌🏌
Was a member there 1990, One of the best golf course I've played. Mostly played the castle course due to high hcp I had in the beginning. Started playing -88
Played Lahinch a couple of times. Brilliant old Irish links course, Old Tom Morris design with Alister McKenzie greens. A wonderful days golf.
Thank you Peter for filming these beautiful courses and showing them to us. Closest thing to actually being there is watching you navigate yourself around these beauties.
What the heck did TJ score? His putting was unworldly 🎉
Inquiring minds want to know. . .
I want to know his score as well! HIs ball was always on the green which meant his first putt was going in!
Damn - same putter for both as well 🙂 - not a shot at Pete since this guy was just draining everything from everywhere.
He sunk absolutely everything. How can they not mention the score?
Interesting that TJ doesn’t wear a glove, especially as it seems so cold.
Even for a +5 handicap, you could tell that he was surprising himself with how many were falling. That had to be a mid-60's round unless he had a few blowup holes that we didn't see off camera. You could tell that he pitched a few shots within gimmie distance as well! Guys that are that good with no pressure on them, it's amazing to watch.
Beautiful course, insane display of putting
Just some more incredible content! Lahinch looks like a dream of a course. You really do have the best "job" in the world Pete.
The most beautiful course I have ever seen on video.
Check out Carne, also on the west coast. The wild Atlantic dunes course is utterly spectacular
His SwingQuest channel helped me from considering a hybrid set out of frustration to playing blades. Always entertaining and my favorite golf channel ⛳️ 🏌️♂️
10:47 I just died a little😂😂😂😂 Peter you naugty boy!
Second time I've watched this and enjoyed it again.
Very fun to watch Peter knock it around on such a difficult, amazing course. Incredible putting display by his playing partner.
Thanks for the video, Peter!
Well done Peter welcome to Ireland on a breezy day to a beautiful but really tough Course and TJ had a really great round .you need to come back in mid September when it's a bit milder for a rematch really enjoyed the game 😊
Lovely course. Reminds me of Ballybunion a bit. Well played in tough conditions!
Quality beyond belief , course viws golf banter redemption ❤
Hi Peter, great to see you play some of the best courses in Ireland. Please tell me you played my local course Trump Doonbeg which was only 20mins away. It is definitely a must play a long with Lahinch, Ballybunion, Tralee, Waterville and Old Head.
Really is a stunning golf course in so many ways, gut punchingly challenging with magnificent scenery
Beautiful course. I’ll add this to my dream of seeing theses courses in person
Great course one of so many in Ireland. My favourite is The Island.
Lmfao hahahahah the 44 min mark with inside peters head! Omg I’m crying hahahahaha! I freaking love this channel!
Cracking video Pete. Lovely to see you over here in Ireland again.
What a beauty that golfcourse is! We do not have anything like this in Germany - not even on the coastline.
The links courses in Ireland and Scotland are like nothing else on the planet.
Loving the colour of the shot tracker. 🇮🇪
Lucky enough to have played this in June and what a place! Well played Pete!
Enjoyed this immensely! Had the pleasure of playing last year on a similar type of day. Pumped to see you play Old Head too!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Class video, great banter.
What a course this is! Being a links man Pete would be great to see you hit the Kent coast and play Princes, Royal St Georges and Royal Cinque Ports… imagine you’d adore them especially the history of St Georges
Brilliant course, looks like the ultimate golf experience. TJ's putting was incredible and I reckon Padraig has moved Pete's mindset to a much better place now - still work in progress though 😂
The west of Ireland is home to a host of genuinely great golf courses. Next time get yourself to Belmullet in County Mayo and play Carne. It’s a trek but the golf course is otherworldly.
And throw in ballyliffin inniscrone and strandhill that would be some golf week

Classy getting Tiger on the video @ 12 seconds Peter! Lovely touch with the tri-colour tracer too! ❤🇮🇪💪🏼
Thanks 👍
6:03 LOL! Wasn’t expecting that edit!
How are millions of golfers not subscribed to Pete’s channel
really funny guy great content
What an elegant course, how nice of you to take it easy on this beauty
Hey mate great effort on all you put into the open plz don’t give up and do it next year build now for it royal portrush will have Pete there
I know you have coastline courses closer to home, but it'd be nice to see you play Cabot cliff in Nova Scotia, I'm sure you'd love it and i'd kill to play that course! Cheers pete. Keep up the content!
Honestly the best you tube golf channel
Played there near enough when I first started playing golf, one a four ball at work. The 3 other lads where solid. I lost over a dozen balls but still one of the most enjoyable days out I've had golfing to date.
Another entertaining course vlog from the incomparable Peter Finch!
Great video Pete but what did TJ shoot?
Lahinch is a beautiful place. Be sure to visit the Cliffs of Moher while you're there. They're only 5 mins up the road.
Seriously, you make the best golf content I've seen Peter. I can't believe you don't have closer to a million subscribers. I'd love to know what TJ scored and how few putts he had as he was on fire with the putter.
hi pete for the last six months you guys are smashing the you tube competition your way of filming and shot tracers plus just your commentry is head n shoulders above rick sheils etc keep up the great work👍 also just a quick one ?? why is your podcast volumd so low ?? i struggle to hear it when driving ?? cheers big dog👍👍
Beautiful course and an amazing display of putting. Please play with TJ again
Wow what a course! And what a putter TJ is...that was so good to watch - yet another on my list of 'must play' - the list is long...
Wow what a amazing looking course..
Straight in to my wish list.
Guy from New Galloway
Wow, Peter. Those are very narrow fairways. It looks like the maintenance crew can now the whole course in an afternoon, WITH WALK BEHIND MOWERS! Not for hackers like me, judging by how hard it was for you. Great video.
Gorgeous course. Excellent strikes, just typical links bounces and not knowing the course. TJ strikes it smooth 👍
Wow played that course in the early 90’s, along with Killarney and Ballybunion, great courses and great Guiness :)).
Good stuff. It would be good to perhaps see a short bit at the start driving out to the course as a taster of anticipation?.
Hands down one of, if not the, best golf channels on RUclips. As always brilliant content!! Curious, what did TJ score?
Beautiful course! Had the opportunity to play it once. Definitely a bucket list course!
Cheers to TJ!. Lights out on the Lab putter & refreshingly humble with his Rye smile and "thank you" on the 18th. Keep grinding Pete...Paddy's always has your back. 🍻
Hopefully you'll have a video in Ballybunion someday Pete. Another very good test for you
Best RUclips video and channel of all time.
Facts.
Love the production again, and the course looks incredible. May I suggest you put the name of the golf course in the title or description so people can find it easier.
What a Stunning course!!!
Tough course. Really enjoyed watching that round
One of my all-time favorite courses that I've played.
Some fine putting, Peter! Although it's all relative. Great putting TJ!
How in the world does Peter not have more subscribers... Such great content!
It's a great course and there's many others also that you should play in Ireland... So many absolutely stunning and very challenging courses both parkland and links.. And what a player to play Lahinch with, TJ has been one of the best golfers in Ireland for years coming through the underage ranks and amateur ranks, should really try go America to play as he'd make it..

Great videos and great swing dude...oh by the way that pinky underwear is a no no. Come on dude.....just kidding bro. Great swing.
WOW what a track awesome video TJ GET HIM BACK ON CAN PLAY👍👍👍👍👍
What a brilliant course. I would shoot triple digits but I would love every minute of it.
Superb content Finchy. Cheers. ❤🎉
TJ, a humble but talented fella.
I've been surfing at Lahinch.
Pete if you loved Lahinch, please try Tralee and Waterville,they are some of the greatest links courses, just jaw dropping.
Wow..... I'd be checking TJ's pockets for little green men. That putting is world class! I'm so jealous. The relaxed nature just adds to it too. 20 foot putt drained..... yeah, whatever. 💚 🤍 🧡
Just the wind Peter, Lahinch is special, you really need to play the wind, those high elevation Roryesque drives not the formula, need to playing down on every tee-shot. Honestly in my experience of Lahinch, that was a quiet day. A decent but normal blow in Lahinch is 40-50km per hour. A one iron is a great club in lahinch!
Stunning course. With all those blind tee shots, it'd take a few rounds to get familiar with the lines
Keep up the great content. Love waking up to see a notification for a new video 🤘
What a beauty!!! You look good too, peter 😂. My bucket list is getting longer and longer.
@37:56 -- I invented the choppy-cutty Skittle Skoodle driver whiff bash bosh. Now I can't get rid of it.
Class. I've been waiting for this one
