I Restarted My Golf Career on a $869 Budget 

Cool video. Are you planning on keeping the series going? Would be interesting to use the budget from each video to upgrade certain clubs or invest the money into the golf game (lessons, training aids, etc)

Inesis 100 clubs + bag was how I started playing golf last year - still using them now, they're definitely not the problem with my game!

What a superb little vlog/story that was. Also just shows what a decent player with “inferior” equipment can do if you understand the limitations of the tools available… brilliant 👏

Never ceases to amaze me how you hit it so well, but look like you're swining 30% effort at 50mph 😂😂 Love the content, and massive swing goals. Great video Peter!

Love this idea and shows the best clubs make very little difference to most golfers! One suggestion tho there's lots of free apps for yardage I wouldn't have been against you using one of them as most people have smartphones anyway!

Just smiling all the way through this...everyone needs to see this video to understand why PF is the best golf youtuber out there. The content is unreal and so good. Deserves so much more views and subs!

Pete, that was so funny. Getting that much under par with "inferior" clubs was hilarious to watch. You were driving so accurately - and let's not mention how good your putting was with that primative putter. Decathalon could have a bumper Xmas at this rate! Seriously though, great video and just goes to show the golf gods do indeed have a sense of humour!

This year I picked up a mint set of Callaway X-12 irons for £54, Ping G Driver for £80, TM Rescue for £30, 2 vokeys for £50 and an YES putter for £25. Add a sleeve of PRO V's and that's £250 total. Good enough equipment for even the best players and useable for beginners.

Heaton Park is my local course so it was fantastic to see you play there. I miss those local course vlogs you used to do around Manchester with Andy, Rick & Matt.

I swear I watched that video like 6 times, I have been really looking forward to this video. I just picked the sport back up after years. I spent most of the summer buying and flipping clubs I got a decent set now and found an insane deal on a set for my wife.

Pete loved this one. Nice to see you having fun playing golf on camera. Well less stressed cause if you did terrible it be the clubs, also like in the video your "must be the clubs" when doing well.

Great video Peter! Would be interesting to see how the clubs compare distance wise to your normal clubs. Greetings from Germany!

Pete, you’ve gotta be the easiest golfer to watch on RU-vid. Your humor and way you talk to the audience is second to none.

Peter!! Keep playing those clubs!! PLEASE!! I want to know how long you can keep playing great golf with THAT set of clubs!! Don't change a thing... and when you play next with Matt (or Rick or Andy) play those too... but don't tell them beforehand!!

I like love the concept!!! Takes out the stigma around the new gears are always better while the price is exponentially growing for each item. Awesome!!

Great video Pete! Would be great to see this continue as a series!

Nothing wrong with the big “winter tees”. You should always find them as they spring off the winter mat ! Loved the idea of the video. I remember watching the original one and was wondering when this would appear. Really enjoyed it.

Was a member at Heaton park was only £50 a year you still had to pay green fees but you could have an official handicap. Great course especially the par 3 over the valley

Pete the rope on the hat, the rope not sitting correctly was killing me 😊

I've not read any of the previous comments, and someone may have said this already, but as I watched you with this box set of clubs, you played well because you were the most relaxed... you were not stressed out with high expectations and you moved through the ball with the ease of a very skilled player. If you can do that with your fitted, normal set of clubs, I would not doubt that you would find yourself teeing off in the Open.

I can't tell you how much I was waiting for this video!!! Loved it and I'm taking this and using it to get my dad into it! Thanks Peter 😊

Peter - love these types of videos. My favorite video was the pound shop set you got and cleaned in your kitchen sink and made a birdie on the first hole.

great video Pete, another great way of showing how anyone can take up golf whenever they want. I especially love those tees, reminds me of Mr Barlow from Golf Mates with his tees on a string lol

Great video and brought back many happy memories of learning to play golf at Heaton Park, you never forget those hills !!

Loved this! So enjoyable, great to watch 👏🏼

Amazing. Would like to see you play the same course with your regular clubs and swing speed to compare the results.

Any sport that gets you outside, PRICELESS! Not really but golf is up there.

Great fun love watching these sort of videos. Keep them coming.

Loved this, been following for along time and have to say your content keeps getting better. Well done lads

Fantastic vid….love that easy swing tempo, beautiful to watch.

Brilliant video Pete, great fun! Well played.

Love this video and the concept behind it. Would love to see it continue as a series and see where you get to in a year! Love the content Peter 👏

Absolutely loved this video!

That was a great watch, really good concept. Peter Finch is right by the way, slowing down the swing a hair really does improve his accuracy and shot shape. A lesson for us all!

This is proof of the old adage "a great artist doesn't thank his brushes"... the artist does the work. The opposite of "a bad carpenter can't blame his hammer."

It just shows how good you are. thank you

Obviously you’ve got much more natural talent than you give yourself credit for , loved it , well done Pete .

What a great fun video and how good we're you playing with that box set. Was on a rope. Great content. Open qualifying here we come!!🎉

Genuinely don't think I've laughed more during a RU-vid video. That was brilliant 😂

Would love to see this series continue, giving you the opportunity to increase your funds to get additional items. Say you get x amount for each birdie, x amount for each eagle etc. With bogies taking away money for each bogey level. Eventually if you get enough profit from a few days on course you can buy a new putter, or a range finder.

Absolutely amazing!

Absolutely quality content, would love some more casual vids like this

That may be the best I've ever seen you putt, so clearly you found the perfect putter for you.

Loved this video. More please!

Great video Peter!! Loved it 😄

Really enjoyed that, it made me laugh and shake my head at how well you played. Keep it coming.

Brilliant, really enjoyed it

I like relatable golf videos. Bob does golf is fading out of the relatable a bit with their high end sponsors and improving golf game. Nice to see affordable equipment hacking around the course..

Great video! Fun and entertaining ❤

Was waiting for this one Pete! Great stuff mate!

Great video. Peter is playing well with the package set clubs ❤

Great video Pete. Really enjoyed it mate

always a good video Pete , keep up the gr8 content.

Pete! Your putting with these cheap clubs are much better - and for a simple reason - your tempo. With your ordinary putters you are SO slow in delivering that putter face thru impact, it really is a pain to watch. But here, you let the club head accelerate thru the ball and chase down you target line. SO MUCH BETTER. You are normally such a passive putter it pains my eyes to look at your videos but THIS is how you should roll em. Please please please keep accelerating that putter face and hole those putts. You are a fantastic ball striker but your passive putting stroke has been a drag on you for EVER. THIS is how you should stroke it and I can’t wait to see more. Please keep this up as I love your content and I would love to stop squirming at your crappy slow passive putting stroke and see some aggressive moves. YOU GOT THIS PETE I AM SO HAPPY

Love the series so far and saved me some money cos I have been eyeing up some different irons from my callaway xhot 2 but just proves the clubs are not always the reason we hit better shots. Cheers Pete :-)

IMO a Garmin golf watch is a must for a beginner. You get basic yardages to greens, bunkers and water. It also records your shots to give you accurate distances which will help with club selection and knowing your gapping.

Classic vid, loved every second of it

Great concept, and fun video.

That was bloomin’ epic thanks Pete! Enjoyed all of it!

Another great video. Yep, enjoy this style. Well played!

So Pete, by the 6th hole I was laughing, in a good way, so much I could barely see the screen. Absolutely brilliant mate. Best chuck those butter knife, Japanese game killers over the fence and then follow them up with the red carbon woods and bank loan Pro V’s. Keep the putter though, you spent a lot of time sorting that. Let’s see more courses laid to waste courtesy of the box set and a bag of pebbles. Can’t wait!

Great video and great content - golf is such a menta game shows when you just go out and play how good you can be

Another top video Peter. Keep them going. Love Heaton park for practice rounds

Great idea. Really enjoyed this video and a great concept. Goes to show having non expensive gear doesn't stop you playing great golf. Can't wait to see the next video assuming there is one.

Great video, well played! You're a class act, young man 💪

Fantastic video. So well filmed and edited, with such a simple set up (kudos Jacob). I loved the concept, loved how you explained what to buy cheap and what not to scrimp on. There was even swing advice buried in there, with the benefits of not always swinging full out . . . it was just brilliant. Not only that, but at was great to see you playing so well and having so much fun - maybe the cheap clubs lower the expectations and therefore the pressure. After all, if you spend £600 on a driver, and still miss the fairway . . . Any way, LOVED it, thank you, more please. BTW, those tees look shocking, but I keep losing mine in the long grass off the tee, so maybe I’ll swallow my pride! 😂

This is such a cool idea and concept, and I thoroughly enjoyed it

I love how your shirt tag was showing!!

Pete. Get one of those golf course GPS apps. Get a free one obviously. Help you with distances better

great video! cool concept! please keep it up.

Loved that vid was good to see that you can play with a cheap set and get good results

Once again the videography and editing is the best on RU-vid golf.

Best golf content on RU-vid currently Peter. Love all your videos. Your attitude towards the game is what brings me back. Other RU-vid golfers have gone too serious and negative about their game

That was FUN to watch! Great job Pete!

You are by far the most varied and innovative golfer on youtube, keep it coming 👍👍👍

This is my favourite content , a good golfer using average clubs. Brilliant 👏 👏 👏

Love this, Was refreshing like mad last night but couldn't see the video until this morning sadly.

Awesome video that’s was an absolute pleasure all the way thru can’t get enough of the quality product Pete and team create but I am the mental age of a two year old and rewatched the first pitch on 1st hole about 30 times in a row because those new shoes make a terribly “flatulent” sound 😅

Unbelievable effort well played

that was brilliant bring on the next one!

Great video. Much more fun to watch when it’s genuinely fun for the creators. I will definitely subscribe after 5 years of watching 😮

Liked that one because you were clearly enjoying yourself..! Our nearest Decathlon store had three clubs in it a random iron a TSi 3 wood and a Childs putter...so you were lucky to get the boxed set....!

Great series

Great video, I think it goes to show that learning to play golf with lessons is much more important than expensive “game improving” equipment

I remember when you did the charity shop special and went under par with a set of used Callaways. So, it seems that game improvement irons and woods bring out the best in you Pete!

Such good fun, well played Peter and team.

Top vlog Peter, will look at this course when up that way 👍

great try which is helpfull for beginners.Decathlon will thank you for this material testing. congrats mate

As always great content.

My last few practice rounds, I’ve took the approach to not try and smoke each an every ball, staying balanced, and being smooth. Now I have been playing pretty well before this but at some point during the rounds I would “lose it” and can barely strike the ball or have huge misses. My practice rounds with my smooth approach has actually been incredible, I hit my drive shorter sure but it’s exactly where I’m aimed and puts me in a great position for my next shot. All of my irons go relatively the same distance maybe a touch short but the contact, ball flights, and just the blissful pure sound it makes when the club hits the ball is amazing. Also notice that when I do miss a swing the ball tends to have less spin so the misses aren’t too bad. I pulled a few shots in a row and it felt a lot easier to make a mid round swing change and hit the shot shape I wanted. Excited to continue the experiment and cross my fingers I can make some putts😂

Respect for continuing with this concept

great playing Pete, fun to watch

(1) Ponce / Pick up / recycle tees. Not sure I have bought more than 5 packs in my whole career. (2) You need soft balls on the golf course whatever your standard. Put the tee money towards softer balls. (3) Wear any old polo / sweatshirt & chinos. (4) Agree: good shoes and a good all-weather glove: essential expenditure. (5) Agree: two swings per ball at the Range.

Part 3 please Pete, loved this.

Really enjoyed it and you looked very relaxed which may have attributed to your ball striking!

Started playing golf there with two of my uncles, at the age of 8. We quite often played 36 holes, as you know its quite hilly, hence its nickname "The assault course" Lots of great memories.

Sure is amazing what an accomplished golfer can do with almost any clubs you give him. Wow, great round Peter

This just goes to show what a great golfer you are. Able to manipulate your swing speed to cope with different shafts. Really enjoyed this and look forward to a series on this. As already said, it would be very interesting if you took your pro set of clubs and see if you could do any better. I bet you wouldn’t 😊

Great proof that club fitting is a fallacy. Even though I sell ORKA clubs here in Australia, this video just shows that the key to golf is understanding the equipment you have and having the skill set to make it work. Lessons and practice really are the key to good golf.

Love it Pete, clearly so did you, how about a matt friar challenge, with those clubs over 18 holes, you were superb.
