#83 - Peter Finch Joins the Pod, Blind Ranking the Sandbelt & A Moon Landing Debate...
Q: If I was planning a golf trip to England and Ireland, what would be the top five courses to play as a 17 handicap?
Finch says the plan depends on budget and region, and recommends basing the trip in one location. He highlights course clusters in northwest England, Scotland's west coast, and Aberdeen, and notes that Ireland has excellent courses but often requires more travel.
#83 - Peter Finch Joins the Pod, Blind Ranking the Sandbelt & A Moon Landing Debate...
Q: How have you seen YouTube change for golf, especially as it has grown so much over the last four years?
Finch says the growth is positive because viewers have more choices and creators are pushed to make better content, although rising production standards and a crowded field make it harder to stand out.
#82 - Behind the Camera with Peter Finch, Titleist HQ & Another Blind Top 10...
Q: Would you agree, if you can afford it, getting fitted is the way to go?
Kieran agrees and says golfers of different abilities can benefit. He describes how club fitting improved distance and shot dispersion for everyone in his group.
#82 - Behind the Camera with Peter Finch, Titleist HQ & Another Blind Top 10...
Q: Where does this trip rank among the places you've been?
Kieran says King Island is among his top three trips, partly because it is his furthest journey from home and allows time to play golf rather than rushing between filming commitments.
#81 - Answering Your Questions, Golf Red Flags & Worst Training Aids...
Q: Is there a difference in lesson quality between indoor sims and the driving range?
Indoors sims provide data, but real-life ball flight and seeing it on the range is essential for truly understanding changes.
