What Happened Between Rick Shiels and Peter Finch... 

Well, I guess the podcast is a go 😅 Still learning the ropes (especially getting the cameras sorted) and working away, give the vid a like and subscribe to this channel and the main podcast RU-vid channel 😘

I’m sure I speak for the whole community, we all want more golfbidder challenges ❤

Rick and Peter videos were my gateway to youtube golf. Love the two of you together.

I have to admit that I was so disappointed that when Rick was filming with Good Good that he didn't have Peter, Andy, and Matt team up with Rick to do a 4 v 4 or something like that with the boys. I was really hoping that that would happen. Would have been EPIC! Felt a little deflated when it didn't happen. Love your stuff Peter, please keep making videos with Matt and Andy. Love the camaraderie.

It just makes me more comfortable knowing you guys are all still friends at least. I'd love more videos but I am content knowing you're all good.

The Golfbidder Challenges got me back into golf and got me walking after i got out of hostpital due to spinal issues. I am ever grateful for those videos and both Yourself and Ricks channels in general as i was in a very dark place at the time and they reignited a passion i needed to distract me from the daily pain. Thank you so much🙏

It’s nice to see the collabs but it’s been great to see your own content and it feels like it’s getting better and better and that hopefully you are enjoying it more and more. I hope you have another good year!

Thanks for all the work you do Pete! I have always enjoyed your content from day 1 that I joined. Really excited for your content with Carter and Fry as well. Truly best when all of you guys get together.

I always enjoyed watching Rick and Peter collab videos because y’all just work well together. The golf bidder videos are always great content.

I just really enjoy both Ricky and yourself Pete. Special mention to your whole team by the way- definitely a nice personality to your channel. All the best for 2023 everybody 💪

Love to hear more in podcast format from you. Your insights on the game in longer format

Wasn't aware you had a podcast. Went straight to Spotify to follow it. Love the content mate, keep up the good work.

I have improved my game from both Rick and Pete. These guys are both legends and amazingly generous in sharing their wisdom about the game. I would love to see some more collaborations between them.

Great timing on this topic as I'd been wondering about your relationship with Andy, Matt and Rick. Excellent pod cast and if the youtube stuff doesn't work out, you've got the pipes for a career in radio. 😀

Remember watching a lanky, geeky Pete playing with Rick years ago (think it was night golf in Portugal ?) - great to see everyone's still doing well; different personalities, different approaches but always entertaining & informative 👌 Pete, Rick, Carter, Fryer Pick a nice spot with 2 courses 36 holes, 4 X 9 hole scratch stableford comps, one on each channel = RU-vid gold 👍

I love the Finch-Shieis Golfbidder challenges. It’d be great to see some more.

I think people forget just how quickly YT golf creative has evolved and how well Pete and Rick and the guys have done. It was never going to stay the same once the businesses took off. Just glad the friendships are still there.

People like to see pals having some banter together - Peter, Matt, Carter & Rick enjoyable videos. Good Good format works…. Not just about playing top pros this doesn’t always make good content.

I became familiar with Peter and Rick through their Golfbidder Challenges. Can’t wait to see what the challenge brings in 2023.

Looking forward to another golf bidder challenge. That's how I found you via Rick's channel. Two of my favorite golf channels.

Well done guys, can't wait for the golf bidder challenge with Rick, and hope you guys do more stuff with you and the golf life boys. You vs Jimmy Bullard would be a class course vlog!!!

Love the content Pete, and really love the videos when you and the boys get together (Rick, Andy, and Matt) and also really loved the hell out of the Golf Bidder series, hopefully you get to do more videos together!

I love Rick but he definitely went off on his own a bit relative to the rest of the Manchester Four (Carter, Fryer, Finch, Shiels) as you can still see the other 3 routinely showing up in their respective channels playing golf and generally keeping up the same shenanigans that got me subscribing to all 4 back in the lockdown days. Excited for the podcast, Pete!

The thing I noticed when Rick and Peter used to film together often is they are a dynamic duo. Both good by themselves but together they are much more entertaining to watch. Similar to GoodGood, their individual channels are good but just don't compare to when they are all together. I wish Peter and Rick could see/feel what the viewer sees/feels when watching them together. Their personalities click (on film, can't speak for off film), the play different but similar styles, and together they are easy and fun to watch. However, I should be posting this on Rick's channel as Peter would definitely benefit greater from a partnership (based on subscribers).

I want to see the fab four (Pete, Rick, Andy, Matt) get back together for a 2v2 match. You’ve all progressed so much.

I love both you and Rick, Pete. I just hope you both don't forget about the type of videos that got you here - funny yet competitive matches at courses all around the world. Your 2-part match with Rick in Vegas is one of my favorites. No crew, no drones, just a camera, and two golfers. I know you're still creating competitive content, but 10 of the last 12 videos have been anything but. I'm worried that in your quest for higher production values, cooler venues, and higher-profile guests, you may lose sight of exactly why you've achieved the success you have. Looking forward to enjoying your content in 2023. All the best.

I as well as loadsa thousands upon thousands have followed you guys from shaky camera work, Dodgy sound and crap editing to where you all are now and still so much improving..you lads through following you all are why we tune into all you do..to be honest we all love all your diversities with what you do to expland your channels but the root of it all and what we loved was the banter between you all..the base of where ye started.. keep filming with the big boy guests,the fun boy guests but don't forget each other..we consider you all as mates, helping each other up the ladder of success..all well earned.. bring in Tubes and Ange and the new addition Jimmy Bullard.. crackling stuff..loads of courses in UK and Ireland.. you would bring up your following big time.. the very best of luck to you all.. love your content,love your humour, love your ambitions but most of all love watching you all..❤️😁❤️

Honestly the GOOD GOOD stuff was good and all the other stuff Rick does is great. But my favorite videos were always with you and Rick together playing and the back and forth between you guys. It was always awesome. Can’t wait for more in the future

Really enjoyed this clip and will be looking forward to more podcast episodes! Just a little bit of feedback, I think the newest member of your team needs to just sit back and allow people to speak without any kind of interjections or comments. Not to say he didn’t bring up interesting questions but sometimes it’s nicer to let the person’s words just sit with the audience for at least a few seconds before you hear another voice.

I loved the Golfbidder challenges, watched then so many times. The one where both Pete and Rick hit miracle shots out of the trees on the last hole to a foot was epic.

Great video guys! Love the podcast format too. Works well!

Stoked for more Golfbidder challenges. What about Bob does sports or foreplay collab?

Great stuff! Got a Google podcasts link? Can't seem to find you on there...

Babies and families, minor mega empires on youtube, moving back to the UK Matt, Rick, Andy and Pete. We understand that you guys are all busy, But some of your (collective) videos are hilarious. Some are breathtaking, Woburn Rick hitting out of that ditch. Possibly the finest scramble shot I've seen. The one where he hits it out over the trees to within a foot. I'm so glad to have seen them! There is nothing like watching old friends falling over themselves ribbing on each other. Matt and Andy are a show worth watching on their own. You can actually see Pete reliving some of these things in his eyes. good times, I've watched hours of you guys berating each other. Time well spent; I think.

No doubt I'm a huge R S fan. No matter the hatters I think he's fantastic with original content and the things he's done have has brought him much deserved success. But, your channel is great as well. You do a fantastic job on all the content you provide on your channel. You have done a great job building your brand so to speak and you also deserve much success. Wishing you well from the USA!

Honestly my favorite content was the two of you together! Rick and Pete were the best!

It's true. Golfbidder challenge is the best! You and Rick are the big boys! Good to see Matt's channel growing too.

I know how amazing the production is from the various channels these days, but I would love to see an old school golf bidder challenge. Hand held cameras, just Rick and Pete holding the camera and talking smack around the course. Bring on the nostalgia

It's nice that you took the time to clear the air in regards to you & Rick.👍 I got so use to watching Peter & Rick's mutual content. Became big fans of all 4 of the guys(Fryer, Shiels, Carter, & Pete). And then 1 day it kinda stopped. Well atleast you all filming content together. And as much as I miss watching the dynamic between the 4 friends. I understand that you each have to do what's best for yourself. Hopefully you can manage to atleast do a handful of videos together. And that you guys continue being successful on RU-vid!

Wonderful podcast. Great insight into all the relationships. Back at golf after 15 yrs and you guys have cemented my new love for the game again. Thank you 😊

Top class diplomat Pete. We all miss the gb challenges but love your current content 💪

Nice podcast chaps and it’s great to see the team together having a good natter. I remember the early Trafford days and Carly filming! Wishing the team more success in 2023!

I remember roughly halfway through last year that you challenged Rick to a match, and he accepted on his podcast. He said to give him a few weeks as he was working on his swing at the time. I'm not sure if something just didn't pan out from that. The golfbidder challenges were great. Could even bump up to £750 to get slightly newer gear. Another one I remember was with you, Matt and Rick swapping clubs as you all got to try things you wouldn't normally try/test/use (old bluey the relic is still in the bag). Other ideas are to both pick your favourite course over the last 12 months and go play it.

Im honestly so excited for the collabs to come back

Sure it was a bit awkward for Pete, but we’ve all been wondering for a long time. I’m sure a lot of your viewers are newer, but the Rick, Pete, and Andy videos were unmatched. Hopefully we can atleast get 2 or 3 vlogs a year together.

I like the studio Pete and the decor. Cheers guys looking forward to what The Rough Cut brings.

The more golf content on RU-vid the better. Both Pete and Rick produce great (and different) content. Would be great to see a few more colabs though, they're always fantastic

Great news and liking the new podcast! I understand that there needs to be a "host" (Mick) to ask questions and steer the discussion, but I don't think it needs to be steered every 5 seconds, let people tell their stories!

It'd be awesome to see another Golf Bidder vid, love you guys together, come on Rick!!! Next though, shoot a USA Vs UK with Claire Hogle or Paige Spiranac *grin* 😜😁😜

I love the golf bidders challenge videos with Rick. Hope it works out!

Thanks for answering this, Pete. It's great to know that you're reading the comments and listening.

Waiting to hear this for ages. But hey. Double the content.

For me the friends playing a round and the banter is brilliant its why golf is golf we want to play great we want consistency but we also want the enjoyment of friends.like i said its not all about the tour pros.your videos peter are very entertaining with rick mat and carter.characters my friend thats pure golf 😀 Hope you can do more together cheers avid viewer

Still upset Rick didn't get Pete, Matt, and Carter together to play against Good Good somehow. Would have been epic.

"Fryer is FLUENT in foul language" had me freaking rolling!!!

Loved you all the way back when you had glasses! Love the new podcast channel keep moving up Pete!

Love your content Pete! Keep up all the good work!

Being open with who you would film with, absolute bandits would be a great channel to partner up with for a video. Oaks and Tom trying to improve on their golf would be good to watch the difference in standards also. Great insight to the relationship between you and Rick. Can understand what has happened with the massive growth in Rick's channel. Great content. Love the pod

I’ve recently turned Professional and I am doing my PGA. I stay next to Dundonald links and if you are ever back up Pete it would be great to get a game with you and a few of the other guys I know that are attached there. Also keep up the great content and all the best with the podcast 👍🏻

Love both of you…giants of the YT game!!!

And that Voiceover at the end. Bloody brilliant. Soothing 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Buzzin for this best vids 👍🏼

I watch all of you guys on You Tube - enjoy the individual content and the collaborations - found it interesting that when the reviews of the Paradym came out - Finch, Fryar, Shields, Dennis and Robinson - all released their reviews at the same time - was that planned??? Keep up the great work!

Glad you're rebooting the podcast, personally, I'd cut it from 4 people on the pod to either Peter and a set host, or max 3 people. 4 seems too much to me.

Good vlog Peter and team. Yeah the Golfbidder vlogs were, and are great, as are your matches with Andy C and Matt F. I look forward to more of them in 2023. I think one of the best with Rick and yourself was when you were both rather hungover and played against Carly Booth.

Can you teach rick to chip first before the golf bidder challenge 🤔

Awesome :). So glad to hear Peter and Rick will be golfing together soon.

Happy new year to you and the team, I hope all goes well this coming year for you. I personally prefer your content and competitions than Rick and Matt. I think you could teach Rick some things to help him hit more greens in regulation. Keep up the great work , can't wait for it to start . Best of luck Noel

It kinda felt like he cut you out cause he thought he was too cool for school or something like that. At the same time, there were a ton of very sarcastic jokes being thrown his way by you Mr. Finch. I’m glad you two are well and filming again. The Golfbidder challenge is a very awesome series.

Didn’t realize you had a podcast Peter, gonna add this to the regular list 🤟🏼🤟🏼

I first started to check both of your pages with the colabs. What ever is the situation , you guys should at least do a 2-3 youtube series every years…. They were great and it makes both of you grow from what i thing anyway.

so looking forward to you and Rick playing again, the comedy duo back on tour - what happens on tour stays on tour.

Very excited to hear that there might be more golfbidder challenges 😁😁

Good podcast. One suggestion though, the guy in the cap and the white shirt seemed to want to make it about him (example being the peninsula drone story, he wouldn’t let you tell your story and had to chip in every 10seconds!) I’m sure you’ve many great stories to tell and I look forward to hearing them, would just probably cut the ‘support cast’ down a bit.

i really like the golf bidder challenges, all of your content is really good, keep it going Peter Finch

Loving the podcast. Great to hear from you in a bit more depth Pete. And with no offense meant to the guys around the table I think a two person format works a little better, it was difficult at times to follow the chat which changed direction a lot. Overall great pod 👍

I love the @Golfbidder videos however the night golf in Turkey where the fox stole the head over was my favourite collaboration video set.

Saw you guys chatting it up at the Open last year so I knew the relationship wasn't totally gone at least :)

I am wondering if a content creator Ryder Cup style format around the actual Ryder Cup with loads of the golfing community (get a 4 v 4 team going) , plenty of content on everyone's channels and get some fierce competition going with some curveball challenges along with it (lose a hole, lose a club etc). Captains Finch v Carter would be great to watch.

2 of my favorite clubs I have are because you have this challenge. In Canada it's golf avenue prices are amazing.

If you're ever in the states I would love to see you get together with the Bob Does Sports crew, seems like you and them would get along great!

You and Rick have given me tips that have brought me from shooting 107 every time to 85-91 thank you chaps

Golfbiddee challenge all day long but I would also like to see more with Kieran and Jacob on - always a good video when they play

I love watching your stuff.. keep up the great work

A joint review on a club would be fun. Especially if there was disagreement as to whether the club was good :) Like a panel but on the course

Golf bidder challenge Rick vs Pete vs Matt would be awesome to see

Great to hear this!

Class guys, enjoyed this

I loved watching you kick Shielsies butt on the golf course!!! I still love Rick Shiels show but boy do I miss the golf bidder challenges. It's been great watching you and the RU-vid golf community grow over the years. Keep up the great entertainment.

I understand the you, Rick, Andy and Matt are all making your living doing this, so you need to go your own way. However, I think the on course vlogs you did together we the best things you all did. Hopefully, we’ll see some more!

I was just thinking this. Hope youd have videos with andy and matt again.

Love you Pete, keep up your amazing content!

Pete, I think you can find a niche by highlighting female and junior golfers. I don't think that happens enough, and it's a big growth area for golf.

Enjoyable listen Pete, RU-vid golf is unrecognisable now. Going to be honest, don't watch Rick anymore, the heart seems to have left his channel. I get things change, but it's way too corporate, it's not real. I like the fact that even with 500k subscribers, you still seem to be you, you understand what it took to get you here, what your fans bought into it. I get the fact that business evolves, you are paying wages for employees now, but you have to keep the heart and soul in place. For me you do that, you are still you, and that's why I still subscribe. Good luck moving forward. Enjoy the podcasts, especially enjoy the tips even as a 17 hc, Best wishes Thorpie.

I would love to see a behind the scenes type video of some of the stuff you cut out of the videos - like the stuff you say Fryer is a potty mouth or Carter tripping over! 😂

My personal opinion, Peter finch is by far the best RU-vid golfer...he explains his shots /club use..for me it's helped me play better golf..

Simon @SAS golf would be a brilliant colab. Great channel

You’re going to be combated with comments. But in the off chance you read this, THANK YOU. I miss you and Rick playing together. Your collabs are what got me into golf. You handled the questions very very well (face got a little red) but you’re just bloody good in-front of camera. Can’t wait for the GolfBidder episode. (FYI - can you get Darf Vader to chill out next time - hahahaahha) 👊🏾

Id love to see all youtube pairings crossing over more. E.g. Pete/Rick vs Crossfield & Coach Lockey!

we need the GolfBidder videos back, really...
