today I take on one of my heroes and a legend of the game I enjoyed that three-time major Champion padri [Music] Harrington have you seen it I need to remember that this match has absolutely everything from amazing shots golf tips to improve your game and even a telling off do you think that you’re that good a player why are you still over here you H your shot let’s get into it I’m I’m I’m happy going off blue yeah I think we play off the championship teas we’ll figure it out if if if some of the holes get too long we we put it like this we play it like a tour course so okay oh yeah basically they’d set it up if there was one particular long hole into the wind they’d move the tea up to 20 yards so we we play like a tour course rather than got vast experience in that realm the amount of tour courses I play I I I think I can play into Peter’s vanity here I I think he’s sneakily wanting to play a level match oh but honestly I am thinking nine holes okay stroke play stroke play yeah J Mac actually there’s a lot of rough out here yeah you know how about we do stable food we not do stable food in ages 9 stable food okay I have to remember how you do that I do I do remember okay okay nine hle St for level match level match Jesus okay we might up up up what we’re playing for oh I don’t want to scare you but I’m actually uh putting above average so uh well I’ve seen your golf swing improveed it’s amazing cuz you play more golf how much better your golf swing has got over the last so four years say I would have seen it maybe at the start of Co when you might started posting a few things and and it’s amazing how much a golf swing improves maybe it’s technique and lessons but just playing more and maybe playing having to play more yeah where people are watching you so I know you can hit it so if you’re putting well level match I I’ll take my chances with a level match oh yeah well I know you will yeah for that who anybody would take normally it depends on the golf course so if I went to a member’s golf course I would struggle to be anybody who was well handicapped but if I went to a pro tournament I could give 30 shots if I picked the golf course to somebody on top of their handicap it’s the way you approach this match is completely completely up to you well I think we’re going to be aggressive okay aggressive down here is over that right hand bunker and that’s that’s the three yeah I know but like there is there is there is something there’s always something in the middle in in the European club right okay by the way guys you know that you’re playing against a Champions Tour guy right when you start looking as tegs you know colon guard so that’s if yes you really know what you’re getting into here everything is a is a is is a medical issue when you get no that’s fantastic I mean I have just had my sixth coffee of the morning so you might have to put me in touch cold longer by the way this I don’t really know a lot about this course apart from the pictures I’ve seen it does look absolutely stunning I’m really looking forward to this I I can’t help myself the golden rule is to avoid the bunkers off the tea okay that that is the around the greens are quite open and you can get up and down even though it can be difficult but you can still get up and down oh look at that the big pull hook never to be seen again I hit everything right in the range [Laughter] I mean I to be honest now I don’t know what to do cuz what I want to hit a driver because it’s got the biggest callback but now I think I should hit three-wood I don’t know Hit N cuz that’s really small and I don’t want to Fat the ass off in front of for um I hit everything right in that range everything now I’m also at the other side of like quite a lot of practice but I had the round yesterday to hopefully figure a few things out I’m also using the uh Wilson Staff model ball done a review on that check it out all right okay sorry literally the voice is in my head like I’ve obviously watched PG for years it’s been a kind of hero M for a long time I’m just setting up I could just see your shoes I’m like like I’m wearing black shoes like you’re not I stand shoes oh we’re together I think what we’ve learned here is that we can cut this and we can just take those t-shots again a breakfast ball breakfast ball wonderful okay off we go again I love that yeah okay little a little pull but it’s very effective yes right doing nicely right now I understand why you worried about three strategy wise you’ve got to take a club to carry that right hand bunker okay got you that that’s the key how how far was that that I think I rate that was 240 240 okay 250 to the top of that like you can take that bunker out play you’ve got a lot of room on that right side and the right left wind got you okay cool Beauty very just to just over it yeah it does kick him by there okay we’re off and running guys bit more right to left wind and it looked up there wasn’t there yeah definitely it’s howling I’ve never I’ve never actually known a stronger wind here at the European club and all the all the 10 minutes I’ve been here guys big thank you for watching make sure you hit a big thumbs up make sure you go follow forre Channel as well you know have a have a good day yeah Best of Luck play well or I should say I wish you luck just won’t tell you what sort of luck I wish it I understand that saying that I got to give all the all the tips out here today [Music] don’t want to brag but yeah it’s a fairway there no issue 164 all right 164 down the draft thinking probably a 99 going to try and control it slightly blind shot here but I do often hit it better when I don’t have to worry about the target so okay it’s a little draw nice strike oh gee that is a luy just rolled off the side oh really yeah know kind of Spun down and it’s gone down into a sale and ah and Gone Gone Away must admit didn’t walk this far over didn’t bother looking left it agree maybe I’m not quite treating it like a t and you can see the ocean in the background as well look at that what we’re going in with I’m trying to hit wedge I think it’s 158 yard and I’m Reckoning it’s about 140 to carry that right hand side and if I can carry that it should release out of this lie sounds sensible go oh I need a bit of wind oh oh wow pumped it through didn’t that I thought that was more off the right and it was actually straight down was down yeah that was a wedge where is my caddy when I need him I’m not used to this see it’s cuz you thought you going to have it easy today you thought you were just going to have a wander around give me a kick in a happen me folks I’ve come here to get my 12 points and move on that’s fine I don’t want to hear that I was thinking it tell you what you I told you a good strike you spun it back down the hill up in it’s fine I mean it’s pitch pight so s of quality ball striking but me for the first chip of the day that’s not great I know this is the good part of the game oh nice very nice oh why did he Pat has definitely cut the greens hasn’t he that rolled out a little extra bit yeah we were we were speaking to Pat this morning he absolutely assured us that they hadn’t been rolled but yeah Pat is definitely determined that we don’t come in oh yeah we shot six under or seven under no he wants us say somewhat brutalized yeah I think he wants to tell us it’s all going to be okay rather than congrat ulations are yes fancy chunky W this early in the round so we’ll go with a putter nice very nice I must ad ADM I thought I’d left that a long way shter then didn’t it run out up the hill into the wind pretty much do you want to run out that’s well I don’t play with gim so tap it in I think it’s it’s one of the worst things in golf if you want to see somebody who’s not a golfer they want to play with gimmies yeah yeah you never never catch me doing that I know but but it is like if you’ve got a young kid in your golf club and you want to know whether he’s going to be a player going forward if he’s looking for gimmies he’s not going to handle the pressure you just got to play golf unfortunately there you go that’s the first of Patty’s golf tips today yeah sorry little Jimmy put out yeah yeah that’s want to go no you can you can cut that out you can cut that out right now he’s he’s into it hey I don’t want to lose especially as the terms negotiate see you did negotiate the fact that you we’re playing a Lev match I’m not meant to lose this you’re actually in a good position this is kind of like a if you win brilliant if you lose oh well yeah I suppose technically all the pressure is on you actually think about it logically 260 the right hand bunker that’s what we got it and two 230 to the left one so the shot here is to hit it at that right hand bunker and if it turns it gets around the second bunker you don’t want to reach that right hand bunker at 260 got you my fivewood has a chance if I cut it to the right it shouldn’t go to 260 and if it draws it would go 270 around that bunker or so so oh no where’s the right to left wind how good a shot was that it’s okay that’s was literally just before it so oh God it did exactly what you said yeah well could have done it a bit earlier so I didn’t have to worry about it look I have to move now he’s worried about me fee this should be this is my 250 Club just repeat what podre said I yeah I was going to weigh him over there a block should come shk and the draw will get by the left there a lot of thinking that well they had six coffees it’s a high one into the full back he’s under it I know it wasn’t very pretty but it’s actually not no we won’t look at that div do not do not zoom in show it show it don’t censor it show it all right I need to remember that you need to forget that this is the day that I just humiliated myself I’m actually worried that I might remember oh God right okay come on he’s just a man he’s just a man he’s just a nice man just a nice man all right not the end of the world once you avoid the bunkers is it Hey listen I’m blade up to 182 that’s my number really comfortable being back here hitting him first yeah get to put the pressure on chest not Checkers we so we got 7even wind’s directly off the right now isn’t it so should be enough to get home can’t believe I just fat skyed it in front of the Padre character it’s two beautiful IR shots hold that very nice sorry if you want an encapsulation of what my golf is like you know what I have to say about those two shots between the two of them they were average and the second shot was brilliant I appreciate that thank you yeah got my second guessing myself now I don’t feel like I can hit the Gap wge that’s oh no oh don’t don’t miss down there sit sit sit bit of a collection area down there yeah oh you know I don’t know if you asked me that question like bit of a collection area is it all right or hopefully that’s run down into deep Cavern bunker that you’re not able to play off I’m not quite sure what your expectation was yeah I’m going to I’m going to be completely honest I’m actually a relatively nice person but I I want to I want to see a really good game for both of us okay when I play with my mates right have brought one rule in if somebody says good shot to anybody in the group and that player does not like the shot he can play it again so it stops people you know when you hit it to 15 ft with a wedge somebody oh great shot and you’re going where you at or or as you often see in a match you could be playing against the worst person in the world he says nothing to you never says good put nothing but then he doesn’t give you a two foot and you tap it in and he says good put you know you you’ve hold the 20 footer and doesn’t quiet or they only say good shot to you you know when you hit a p and it runs by the whole four feet 5et you know but it ran it had a good go but good try good try yeah you know actually when you go when I think back about I always say this tiger was very easy to play with because he only ever said good shot when it was a good shot yeah you know so if and it was to his standard as in you you’d listen to that wouldn’t you’d be like okay that that was a good jot okay so I would say that even about my cat M caddy never says if he says good shot to me on the golf course I’ve actually hit a good shot that’s worth worth noting everything else is well that’s what you’re expected to do okay you put in it I’ve come here to win okay no embarrassment to me I mean in all seriousness this is a put for you 100% 100% sure it’s like putting through that it’s particularly tight here and soft there seems to be H like a bin bin top in my way here would would you like me to get a smaller marker no I’m okay you you’ve that also opens bottles as well just in case it I’ll moan if I hit it okay hit it hit it hit it [Laughter] yes I think I I think I enjoyed that oh God okay yeah you know what bad good job it wasn’t going by was it wow okay OBS days it do you want to know yes please but thank you for a moment I was playing against the multile ma Champion ah come on nice PFF honestly P maret yesterday I think I had 18 lip outs I play N I don’t know what to say you don’t need to say anything I’m quite happy with my par after that t- Shir I’m all right yeah I’m I’m going to build around steadily you be happy you do [Laughter] you oh hor right well get the points on the [Music] board 265 to that one on there 255 to the one on the left again it’s all about avoiding the avoiding those farway bunkers those Fairway bunkers here as you just saw off the Fairway there you were gr you know you know if you miss the green like on the last it’s quite an easy birie Hey listen podre say yeah course management that is his uh Forte am I up yeah you are can’t went no J literally not moved there is not a lot of wind is there yeah that was uh dead strike so course management WI so I can snap hook this back into there 260 to that I’m not a drive with three three holes in a row this course management stuff’s infectious fod yeah well on this particular course very nice CH beautyk you know the goal is actually not to hit Fairways on a ly Golf Course the goal is to avoid trouble often times you’re better off letting one go on the wind and getting the extra 40 yards out of it and ending up in the roof but as long as you’re not in trouble I mean this is all quest for the open again this year I’d be a fool not to pick P’s brain on to tell me oh you’re in it the bear of Good Tidings you know what yeah you know what it’s a video yeah we got to commentate just your ball’s over there it’s like full 30 yards away why are you over here I’m just trying to be I’m just trying to be friendly yeah I’m just ran ahead of me just see how m is doing over here I have it it’s in the bunker just in case you didn’t see it you know you’re welcome ah yes yeah I tell you what we’ve laid back a long way here good God 214 y by the way I can see what you mean by this green now from the te I thought that pin was at the front it’s in the middle isn’t it middle back wow that’s huge I have 145 front and have 214 pin and it’s only in the middle and I’m not sure where I’m going to hit it not sure what club I’m going to hit God good God now second Patty’s golf tips hit me okay so most people when they have a blind shot they walk forward you if I go to the top of that I have no idea of what line I’m on but if I walk backwards I can line my ball up with something in front of me and I know exactly where I want to hit it simple stuff it’s very simple and and I can’t believe I shouldn’t be telling anybody this because you just don’t see it but now I I can see bit of grass there that I’m going to pick and just go left to that and that’s my shot whereas if I tried to do it from that angle no chance always go backwards I think he knows what he’s talking about oh God guys I’m too sure about this that I was with it my lab wedge but I’m going to hit a 10 into that bank if I go with it so I’m actually going to go with a nine iron and hit a fat hit a tin did not want to hit that clean there’s a brutal bunker that you know what it’s a link bunker they’re all BR yeah true why are you still over here you you’re a shot Peter what what was the bunker brutal brutal thanks thanks for telling me it was brutal yeah you know what I I personally blame you caddy cuz he didn’t tell you that was there P’s been it’s just been you know he’s too used to having a caddy he’s been Molly C for too long need to get back to the traditions of the game 200 yard into the biggest Green in the world um windy is kind of like directly off the left thinking just a really solid six good wow actually hit my eyes all right Brave New World we’re living in it was good finished up nicely is that okay I was scared of coming over so yeah no that was another a nice strike very nice I got my work cut out now after the t- shot in 11 I was thinking God this going to be easy not too sure now yeah I just misjudge the spin a little bit but you’re getting some nice spin on those IRS like it’s sign of a good strike I know it’s serious now cuz he’s got his tongue in between his lips dble down I thought I thought for a second 100% they’re Quick aren’t they yeah very be Tre shot swing here oh damn well just a solid par I’m getting an incredible amount of pars recently might a few more birdies W okay so early in the match but it feels big love it just take it don’t don’t celebrate you know sometimes a bogey is a good bogey that was a good bogey sometimes a bogey is a good one mat all tied up on points you do look so solid over those parts as well you know what yeah you know I’ve obviously like like all guys have gone through the the heie jebs and and it comes back the odd time but I I have managed to to figure out a way of of dealing with it yeah and it’s been working very nicely now for a few years but you it will come back to the odd time and I just have to get my head around it again and that’s a surprise I’ve literally always thought of you as an incredible putter i’ I I put a great in my well what I really was in my career was a great chipper right okay so I I my stats when we talked about stats earlier the key for me was always how many times I had my first put from inside 8T or 10 ft let’s say okay so that means I’d be aggressive and hit my iron shots close and then if I missed green I was a really good Tripper where we got a long walk back oh I have really really now I mean like in early on in my career like I you know I’d happily shoot you know three four five under pars hitting six Greens in regulation right yeah so I I was just and it wasn’t that I was holding 40 Footers it was more I just I would chip it in if you chip it close enough you know you can you feel like a good putter I think it’s one of the the reasons you find a lot of people end up as bad Putters is they always have 25 Footers and you’re just not going to hold them and then you think you’re putting badly got you whereas if you got a lot of if you keep chipping it to 2 fet I guarantee you you’ll think you’re a good [Music] putter I think that bunker is 340 which I mean wind’s directly off the left so we’re not going to yeah anything right of the anything the bunker is your line basically finishing on the bunker jeez you are creaking honestly at the moment right come on another Beauty I have it in for me I need to get you in the right to left winds that was pretty good actually it was pretty good I got to say it was good that was pretty good yeah yeah drift a bit yeah that’s good yeah it’s kind of coming back right balls really not moving through the wind much all it is strange isn’t it I keep expecting it to move off but it’s not too windy at all it feels it’s the coldness that makes it feels like it’s quite windy yeah yeah it’s a the B striking as well cuz it’s so pure like neither are balls are moving yeah yeah yeah most like a pretty big kick backwards as well yeah most my kitb must be here somewhere just a little three4 one for me just feeling it down there only need the 320 320 I think it was best part 600 yards off that off that te that’s a that is a horrible looking bunker front right there literally every single bunker I’ve seen pretty much has got the the wooden sleepers in there oh cool that’s so cool what’s the plan for just get it as far down as possible or yeah out this Li it’s down a bit that probably think there’s a bunker at 275 that’s what I need to stay short of okay I’m hoping that I can’t see much else so I’m hoping there’s not there there yeah that’s right yeah nice sh so yeah just a just a touch further on not that much further on really not realistically I’m just thinking if I could squeeze it it’s too it’s too 97 back to the pin it’s like 275 front H it have to be an absolute worldy of a strike such a good drive you’d have to go for it yeah I’m kind of thinking that yeah don’t embarrass your your followers by not going definitely take it on I think you’re right I’m going to hit this on the green wow I have absolutely no idea no was I didn’t say good [Laughter] sh I don’t know I think that’s the way up to the next te so you have a chance or there being room there if you want to hit a provisional yeah I think I’ll just clip another one away oh I just tried to I found a bar in my bag it’s out of dat just about a month out of days but my brother used to work in a in a pound shop you know those pound sh he used to manage one when he was a kid and their motto was best before not bad after perfect and it actually is fine even though it’s a m d days oh no well that’s even shorter that two to look for up there oh that’s uh that’s got nowhere near the first one so hey this is stford yeah why we played the game oh I just tried to hit like a a low knuckly kind a shot on that for the [Laughter] ball have you seen it the first this one had a good hit there how far did you have uh it was 279 to the uh top of that bunker Struck it all right so got 265 270 out of it I think but this is uh yes this stuff is literally Knee Deep not the kind of grass it’s going to bounce out of either stewards have let me down nice uh I think it’s couped 87 yards there’s no point in hitting up in the air I think if I hit a good quality strike it’s going to spin too much so I’m better off hitting a a sort of long trip shot lovely shot thank you lovely shop thank you a long Chip Shot so I find it’s amazing the difference so if I play a Champions Tour event most of the time I’m chipping most of the time I’m pitching like 80 to 100 110 yards I’m always trying to take spin off whereas if you go to a Tour event doesn’t matter how windy it is he’s still trying to put spin on it for some reason cuz the the greens are so much firmer and faster yeah yeah like one of the reasons Scotty won the Masters last week is his spin control was unbelievable and what I mean was more how much spin he put in a lot of his iron shots some weeks wouldn’t be of any use but when you get to the bigger tournaments and the greens get firmer and faster then the most important thing in golf and tiger was brilliant at it Scotty seems to be brilliant is being able to get your ball to finish as close to your pitch mark as you can that is the number one thing with an arot the closer the ball finishes is pitch mark the better a player you’re going to be so you never want to spin it back too far but also when you get to big tournament golf courses it’s the ability to get it to finish close that pitch mark So when the greens are firm that you you can generate enough spin I was just thinking I need to start making notes but this is a this is a literal video we can can go back and check okay you generate a lot of spin in your arms which would suit bigger golf yeah whereas local golf if you get too much spin greens are going to be soft you’re spinning back too far but you get to Big tournaments greens start getting firmer and firmer as the week goes along yeah can’t see this going anywhere but in the hole can’t believe it oh to put everything on you making that no see yeah my best tra in golf if I was to try and hold that P to have the hole or to I’d probably hold it I’m so much better when my back’s to the wall yeah I mean if if you think about it now as well like your back is definitely not against the walk cuz like you’re too two ahead two points ahead and like you can relax and just I know that’s where I’m I’m not good when I relax oh I like intensity just take a nice breath it’s fine don’t worry about it now my back is very much against the wall I am pressed up against it my ass is against the [Music] brick uh 195 pin 1 75 clear that nasty looking bunker what we going in with I taking a hit a 3/4 6 IR I find it hard to tell you myself getting a 7 195 in this temperature no no cross literally not touching it oh wow nice the wind didn’t touch it but that rabbit did wow oh well better be lucky than good thinking maybe a seven though cuz that that was pitching on the back there wasn’t it and I think that’s pin High that’s it’s only pin high but like I think you can get seven there but like it would you know require a really good strike right the wind is not going to touch you that much it’s just a touch left of the pin didn’t trust it the wind pin’s not moving it’s it’s amazing isn’t it sand do on the left are blocking yeah it’s weird cuz like the whole everything just pushing towards the ocean just feels like it I don’t think you want to hit it in that bunker true like I think the way we played it with the little bounce in from the left is is certainly the the safest way it might make many twos but you’re not going to make too many fours by going up that left yeah but I I’ve got to make birdies now what’s your usual routine sides back yeah generally I look from behind the hole and the side of the hole when everybody else is doing their thing yeah and then when it’s my turn to put I just have to look from behind the ball so even though you’re are covering everything most of it is done so that when it’s your time to go you’re not you know you can take a time but actually be quite quick if that’s all you have to do at the end of it yeah yeah right come on Pace oh no P oh no you knew oh no that was do you not use colors now sorry so the most important thing is the color so that that’s pale so the when it goes pale like that it’s very quick and when it’s dark it’s uphill to to be honest I was I wasn’t concentrating that’s the number one thing I would use the color the color when I’m hitting out the roof the color when I’m chipping and the color when I’m putting so pale is fast and downhill dark is slow and up here I think most people describe that as pretty brown that P what you mean I didn’t say that the Family Channel come on come on okay okay bit of meat in that bone right actually go through your routine oh how did miss that was wow that was unlucky ouchie well listen I’m I’m learning a lot I just yeah just need to settle down a little bit getting a bit I grew up the hard way hot under the cuddle the best thing you could do is gamble if you I grew up with my brothers and people always paying for something and you you learn pretty quickly yeah what wow this is going to take momentous effort now quite the comeback Now isn’t it but you know what it’s been done before you know when you look at that we we we really didn’t know like there was room up this side all this side yeah yeah didn’t look at off the tea that’s a bad three brother that is a bad couple of holes that that stinks I’m sorry I’m sorry you had to see that but you look back how much those colors have changed now it’s all about the color it’s all dark going back uphill that’s how you tell downhill [Music] dark 280 out to that sort of rubbish out there 280 270 on the right you force you lay up a lot doesn’t it you know and and have longer second shots look at this wait wait hang on a second he’s checking the ardes I gave him okay but you have to that’s that’s a that’s a golf rule is it you have to you you could be playing with your best mate and you’d still check what your arage Che told you you can’t you can’t not do that everybody knows that rule come on so because I’ve been hitting a few hooks little bit bit down the left so I’m making sure all my practice things a little bit across myself to help to keep that club up in front yeah pretty good hold that yeah pretty good yes yeah nice shot nice shot so far starting to get a bit of hit right okay this is the test then of this well I think you should you want to hit a draw here I’d hit your normal swing on this one all right come on P is that even on this golf course anymore H I don’t think I can give you any help I’m TR I’m trying to find something to say of encouragement and yeah God’s sake yeah that that was a very evil little laugh I just I’m normally such a Optimist enthusiastic person I’d like to think nice person and I I would say something to to soften the blow of that shot push there’s nothing good I can find no and left don’t worry I’m I’m very much with you I’m very much aware that was just a crap shot why didn’t you do that no don’t don’t don’t don’t do it why didn’t you do that the first time I don’t know why my driver is the most accurate Club in my back I don’t know why I’m just noticing at every shop so what you’re saying to me is your driver is your best club but you decided that you’re going to not use your best club in the bag and try and try and beat me by playing my game honestly every Club you’ve taken out I’m like okay that’s that’s probably what I should hit then yeah that’s that’s probably what I should do tell you what it’s a hell of a pin position there it’s it’s just right back in there there’s a bunker actually the left hand bunker is actually in front of it and those bushes on the right are actually the pin is past them so you’ve got to challenge a lot if you want to get it to the pin and I’ve got mud in the ball so the right play in the tournament would be just play short of the pin but we didn’t come here to lay up okay for me to go Peter nice shot so we are well we’re over on this side we’re okay is off cuz I’m a little bit hot under the cola still got6 just going to go with a wedge cuz of a slight flyer straight down it looks okay I’m absolutely determined to get at least one birdie it’s a very weird thing so when I was growing up my heroes the people I used to watch you know we’re talking about Monty talking about like Padre to be a to actually get out into play with these guys is is amazing it’s nerve-racking you know is kind of scary but it’s crazy as well like it it is amazing to to think that making YouTube videos allows us to do this kind of thing and if you are enjoying this type of video make sure be a subscriber to the channel and of course Patty’s golf tips because it allows us to do things like this and I would like to do more fore who they have got them fast haven’t they yeah this looks really good this one as well I didn’t really get yours going that way much though just to the side of the sprinkler Pete seriously just just just just just stop being this guy okay I’m on a I’m having a personal crisis over here I but look how beautiful that is now that’s what you should be yeah I was going to say I can see a seal out there I think it’s a seal yeah it’s popping its head up he’s not having any personal crisis yeah he’s all right he’s chilling out a he he’s not worried about an eight footer down but you know what we we don’t know what’s going on in his life either he might have just lost a big fish you never know right let stop that right side I’m no freak looks like a good put God’s sake oh that is that is a that’s an actually disgusting four hole stretch that three holes oh God three hole stretch actually horrendous like full on Bath Worthy oh he has him quick all right I’ve Got a Feeling uh P might just be doing this for the uh retention just trying to stretch this video out a little bit you don’t know me still there Clinging On by my fingernails I’m dangling over the edge of the cliff podre could have stood on my fingers there but he’s not he’s watching me yeah wel done wow okay the one thing I’ve never ever I’ve never not tried in my life wherever I’m playing I’m going to try I would never that’s what’s killing me at the moment I’m trying really hard yeah no there’s a fine line to it all right there is a balance to it come on okay two questions so first one is do you think you over the last couple of hoes have had a less than perfect attitude do you think you’ve been getting on getting on your own back there getting be at yourself disappointed with yourself very very much more disappointed with myself than anything do you think you could have a better attitude uh yeah okay why do you think that you’re that talented that you wouldn’t think that you wouldn’t do that do you think that you’re that good put a player that you can have a bad attitude and still be a good player I I I understand yeah so literally that’s the lwh hanging fruit is to have a better attitude yeah like if you turn around and say to me you weren’t trying well okay that’s a completely different thing yeah but as long as and I know in my case I’m always going to overt try from the sounds that you might overt try so you’ve got to say to yourself was I trying yes well then every bad shot you hit like you tree put that green I Tre put it was a really tough whole position it was very fast the ball was moving it’s disappointing but it’s not we can’t have Perfection and we’re not good enough to to I don’t know anybody’s good enough to to overcome a bad attitude and I know people get away with it and people think oh well he made a birdie after getting angry or snapping a club or throwing a club but it doesn’t work long term it doesn’t work all the time but the fact of the matter is are you that arrogant that you think you’re that good that you can play with a bad attitude so now we’re going to be happy Peter fin today Smiley happy think happy thoughts but you will play better golf that way oh yeah no definitely you know it’s just the truth of it that like you talk to yourself you if some if your friend talked to you like the way you were talking to yourself in the green day you would he wouldn’t be your friend no listen I he’s absolutely right I think did you think you were going to come out here and get a Bing just a good talking to just a good talking to no but he P’s definitely right and it’s to Fair it’s one of the things I am trying to I am trying to work on a little bit more this year I can hit the ball fine but my my mental approach is uh lacking no definitely that was to be honest a self- Lector as much as I was saying it to you I was trying to remind myself just don’t get down your yourself for hitting it doesn’t do you any good oh wa I wasn’t expecting that so what’s happening there your hips I’m hoping I’m in the same place you were on the last oh nice went after it too think it’s okay it should just be short at the minute nice really I thought you were making the carry I’m just not sure anymore my I’m pickled my mind’s my mind’s spinning there’s too much information here to be honest P I’m like I need to digest this yes but I’m going to control that controllable my attitude and I’m feeling pretty positive so should I feel lucky because I found it or unlucky because it’s in a bad life up to the person to choose isn’t it is he in it or short of it think he might be in it no he’s short it I was going to check out his new found optimism if he was in it but you feel lucky now I do yeah I do you see the G each I’ve got my pitch mark is uh I’ve actually kind of spun it backwards with my driver that’s very useful did you hit the bunker and come out uh it’s pitch didn’t come back so how lucky is that I’m feeling it I’m feeling a bit more I’m I’m a bit more settle now I must ad I was a bit very jittery before one three four good oh very nice cheers look at you all trying again I I feel a lot more settled now ah it is hard to explain like just I know like the nerves maybe but just more like I don’t know just being on edge and like being really unsettled but I feel a bit better though I’m happy with that was so good oh everything strike flight that was pretty nice all right that’s I I think that’s the the real benefit of playing Link Golf isn’t it when you do hit one nice off the tur that Turf yeah that was that was lovely actually okay right for a birdie down the hill moving a little bit left let’s just get this pace [Laughter] I am loving the edge of a hole Yeah but it went exactly where I wanted it to it was good put nothing wrong with it yeah all you can ask yourself yeah I can fully blame the green on that one it didn’t do what I wanted it to all right for a lovely up and down here yeah very very good thank you love that was worth coming out for that one bring a bit of confidence to the to the game a pitch like that golf is a strange game sometimes you’re only a shot away from feeling like you’re playing great oh yeah yeah yeah I was only a good Stone telling off from playing well again just think of it like that like you think you’re that good that you can play with a bad attitude yeah I don’t know anybody who comes up if someone says yes that’s probably a warning sign in [Music] itself that’s a fine hole this after after me hitting the big hook in the last hole and there’s three points in it yeah three points two to go do I want this to go left there we go got rid of that hook Beauty thank you literally straight down come on a lovely it ah it’s perfect yeah kick off there yeah look at that lovely a nice hit too very nice thank you think we can edit out those middle holes then they didn’t happen yeah yeah you could you could do anything you like can’t you yeah when you when you see the edit of this video I don’t quite remember it like that how did I lose 134 in out the right or 3/4 n IR got it left Just a Touch left pretty sure it’s green down there is it should be okay oh yeah you’re fine yeah p i 117 but muddy so I don’t really want it flying through the air too much gap wedge I saw the one just trying to get it a little bit right at the PIN it’s fine but the new me you’re going to be see the good in every shot yeah I mean I will remember that yeah if I ever need to hit it into 90 mph see the good in every time yeah just need to get it started on this green no don’t know why I’m so concerned about it just blasted it through just blasted it through yeah these greens are running yeah aren’t they quick unreal so good go go have the L such a bad push that that was such a bad push oh dear yeah I definitely had a a feeling of running out of a little bit of steam though who’s to negotiate terms now on 18 270 cold day take a chance the second shot is 12 second shot here nice hit I have a bit of a draw on me don’t I well I don’t know what’s there doesn’t look too friendly but we’ve thought that before a few times so that was a very safe one simmer pitched in between I think going to do a little step on this one bit of a thunder step slight left yeah I’ll be all right one of them I landed in the bunker lit going have to come out sideways yeah those bunkers are absolutely no joke well I should lay up 27 yards I don’t know where I’m going got 197 wind’s kind of feels like it’s sat down a lot they must be up there a little bit I was going to go five that wasn’t the draw is it just just just about just about oh well been a bit of a scrappy finish this hasn’t it but you know what it’s not the point today point today just have a great time yeah State that’s okay it’s a bit of a bit of a run back to the clubhous come let’s finish with an nice something now nicely played hit the r check you back thank you oh my God he’s out this umbrella let’s kept going yeah I think that I think that put secure the victory I think so you’re putting for Pride yeah yeah come no well I list thank you very much I did enjoy it thank you thank you so much really

  1. Huge thanks to Pádraig and Wilson Golf for setting this up. Make sure to follow his channel, the home of "Paddy’s Golf Tips" – link in the description 👆👆👆

  2. Well that's what happens when you pick on us old people Pete!😂😂 Just an awesome episode – the Wilson gear is great and I'd rate the ball as the equal of any. Thanks a heap Pete, so much wisdom in one episode.

  3. If your friend talked to you the way you talk to yourself, he wouldn’t be your friend. Brilliant life advice!!

  4. That was one of the best instructional videos I have seen. Padraig is going to be someone I’m going to follow.

  5. love the attitude pep talk…"none of us are good enough to overcome a bad attitude" Notice he gave you the advice after four questionable holes instead of two🤣

  6. Taylormade fairway wood and Titleist driver, both with Wilson headcovers for Mr Harrington. The little things professionals do for the extra coin.. 🧐💰

  7. That’s actually funny the threesome I play with we have a rule if everyone of us hits a duffer on the first hole we all get to tee off again…but only once and only on the first hole….✌🏼✌🏼

  8. What a wonderful human being – I mean, both of you obviously, but we all know about you, for some of us this is our first time seeing Pádraig over a long period of time, you know? And the fact that he's scaled the heights of the golf world, the sporting world, been one of the very best in the world, but he's managed to keep himself completely grounded, is just awesome. You get the feeling he'd have time for anyone, whatever the situation. Thanks to both of you for sharing this experience with all of us.

  9. You ever notice scratch + golfer come up with way more excuses than a hack golfer…besides hack golfers know they don’t have any excuses 🤪🤪🤪🤪

  10. Padraig is a star and what a great video between you two, for you to play a 3 times major winner what a treat and for him to be the bloke he is even better. The right level of banter and I like Padraig even more as he plays Wilson irons which I think are some of the best available and look brilliant

  11. At 41 minutes, absolute brilliant advice from a 3x major winner given in a wonderful way with a touch of humour but a huge dollop of class as well.

  12. Love this video. Padraig has me with his telling off of Pete. Not because of Pete but because I have been that guy who would just lace myself with expletives. Padraig’s grins when he makes a shot. The love of the game is what I admire most. Thank you both.

  13. That is probably the best advice I’ve ever heard “ are you that good you can play with a bad attitude “ play like Paddy, chill, be happy.

  14. Absolutely quality video loved it @peterfinchgolf another quality video with great content padraig is quality and what’s title for paddy’s golf tips really good title

  15. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you. I not only loved watching my hero, and new hero 'MR finch'. Having a Great round. I also needed it, timing was so on point. Was feeling a bit low, so smiling ear to ear för The full lenght of The vid carried me for The rest of The day. Going to come back to this video when i need a pick me. Up. Edit: already watched it twice. Cheers from sweden <3
    .

  16. Yet another fantastic vlog with easily one of the finest gents in Golf and in general, Padraig's channel is superb educational viewing and i bet it was a dream to have his company and advice.

  17. Have to say by far the best golf collaboration I have seen. Peter and padraig were just brilliant fantastic banter just a pleasure to watch made me laugh

  18. You don’t take on Padraig. You are in a completely different league. Like comparing champions league to local Sunday league team.

  19. Wise words from Pádraig. “Golf is not a game of perfect” by Dr Bob Rotella took 8 to 10 shots off my game. I don’t practice enough to not hit bad shots so there’s no point getting angry! Worth a read.

  20. I know this is going to be a blast before watching it. Padraig was THE MAN when I picked up the game in 2007ish. Such a great character as well and a joy to watch

  21. One of the best videos I’ve seen on YouTube for a while… been an Irishman myself loved Paddy’s Tracer tri colours…. Keep up the good work Peter, much better than some of the other generic *hit on YouTube lately….
