8 places available at West Lancs. Looks like -1 is required for them to qualify. Currently they are both +2.

Both at +3 now (Rick after 10 and Pete after 12 holes)

Can anyone pay an entrance fee to compete at regional qualifying? how much is it?

About 150 quid (not sure if its gone up) and you have to be off 0.4 or lower (scratch) or a professional

so with me off 23...you're saying there's a chance?
Maybe for the US Open, they don't make you provide a signature from a PGA sec or similar to prove professional status/capability like the R&A do. Hence there always being someone who drops 120 odd in local qualifying for that

Rick +4 thru 10. Pete still on +2. Cut looks like it could be even, Pete might have half a chance!

Nice that they try as people love following them
If professionals kept handicaps, would either of these guys still be off scratch? I don't think I ever see them break par?

Finch now +3 thru 14, Shiels +4 thru 11. #QuestForAnUnderParRound next year.
On the opposite end of the scale, nice to see one of the lads from my club going low, shooting -3 at Fairhaven. Expecting Jack Clarkson to be up there as well.

They did play well in a few comps last year. Rick played an under par round in Conwy earlier this year as well (I think he finished second). And I saw them play under par in vlogs many times (okay, admittedly including gimmies most of the time) To be fair, WestLancs is playing tough today. Off the 57 scores in so far, only 5 are under par. And that's all pros and scratch players out there.

The thing is with Rick and Pete - nice guys and all having met them at H4H - but they are not dedicated golf professionals who want to join a tour. I would bet a fair few quid that none of the top 4 who are qualifying today spend their time on youtube etc, have their own channels. I don't have a problem with what they do, far from it. I enjoy their channels, reviews, blogs, FX challenge etc. But are they scratch golfers, could they go 4 or 5 under for one round? I very much doubt it. Unless they give up the public stuff and focus 100% on their golf, they'll never qualify and they must know that. Just playing each other is all very good, but they only seem to play in one or two comps. So how is that preparing them? You only had to watch the Carly blog where she trounced them and it didn't seem like she was in full on game mode. So is it all a PR stunt to get more views, to get awareness of certain golf brands - see the what's in my bag blogs? The cynical side of me says yes as they cant honestly believe that they could qualify knowing that the scores would be 2-4 under? Of course I'd like to see them qualify to the next stage of qualifying but cant see it happening. I would be far less sceptical if next year they said right, no films, no jaunts overseas, no product testing, but for 2 months we will do nothing but practise golf, play in comps, play people far better than us etc.
But that's not their day job is it? Their day job is to host a youtube channel - having Quest for the Open, some might say, is a great marketing ploy to drive people to their site etc.
As I said, no problems with that and hats off to them for taking the challenge on in the first place, but lets not kid ourselves as to what it is really all about.
