Broadcaster Andrew Cotter and fan favourite Tour player Eddie Pepperell are joined by Iain Carter, to bring you meandering conversation about the world of golf and the world in general. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Disclaimer - Eddie is still full of drugs. However, he is lucid enough to recall and review his performance at the Alfred Dunhill Links where he battled to make the cut but still slipped just outside the crucial top-100 in the rankings. Yet dramatic news reaches us that he has been offered a place in the Spanish Open this week. Just before packing he, Iain and Andrew are able to reflect on Adrian Meronk's win in St Andrews as well as a remarkable performance by Michael Stewart. They also discuss Tom Kim's military avoiding win at the Asian Games, talk a bit about daylight savings time and…
Three men in three countries and plenty of rambling this week as Andrew, Eddie and Iain convene to discuss events at the Presidents Cup, where the USA won by their now habitual method of storming the singles. They look back on the French Open where Matt Fitzpatrick continued his impressive year and Eddie gives us an update on his injury, preparing for one of his favourite events of the year as the clock ticks on his season. Andrew then decides to tell a story of intrigue, oil money and the SAS - all wrapped up in a golf course where nobody but Henrik Stenson occasionally plays. Episode…
A two-ball this week as Andrew is forced to miss the tee-time, so there is far less ramble and much more weighty chat from Eddie and Iain as they look back on a dramatic finish to the BMW PGA at Wentworth. JJ Spaun took the title and firmly made his point to Brandt Snedeker after omission from the USA side, while Manuel Elvira emphatically made the point that pressure can make you look like a bit of a tool in golf. Eddie is able to offer an update on his own golfing status as he battles a neck problem and also a problem with late-night tweeting while taking medical-grade painkillers, but…
The trio gather this week in something of a torpor, induced either by long waking hours or by tranquilisers. There is an update on Eddie's withdrawal from the Irish Open and subsequent treatment, before the mood is lightened by reflections on Europe's victory in the Solheim Cup. There is also discussion of the two different sides of Shane Lowry on display as he romped to a record win at Doonbeg. To give some much needed energy to proceedings, Iain tells a story about a queue. Brought to you by: www.petermillar.co.uk And by: www.ping.com Chipping Forecast on Substack:…
Well, what a Walker Cup that was. Andrew and Iain have made their respective early flights back from the south-west of Ireland and join Eddie to discuss one of the most dramatic events, not just in golf or indeed sport, but in the history of human kind. We hope that does it justice. There is obvious praise for the GB & I side and discussion of who might have the most success in the professional game. Speaking of which, we also review events in the Alps where Thriston Lawrence showed that there actually is something better than a fit PC as he took down Paul Casey on the fourth extra-hole.…
A slightly delayed episode with Eddie making his way to the mountains and Iain having a similarly difficult journey to a car hire depot. But it has given all three extra time to reflect on The British Masters at The Belfry, where Eddie grafted his way through four rounds and Joe Dean earned his maiden Tour win in style. Further reflections are offered on Scottie Scheffler's dominance at the Tour Championship and musings on whether Viktor Hovland might just be too curious about the world to reach the very highest level in the game. There's other stuff as well, but we're just keen to get it…
This week, the usual trio are spiced up by a bit of Andy Murray who tells us tales of his actual hole-in-one which absolutely definitely did happen. The tennis guy also offers sage advice for Eddie after walking off the course and his subsequent decision to take on a coach. There's a review of the Nexo Championship where Scott Jamieson took the title and Shaun Norris was victim of the ruling that few people had heard of. Meanwhile Wyndham Clark demonstrated again why he's a rival to Scheffler for player of the season and Rory showed us a return to form. Finally, if not dead, LIV golf is…
This week Eddie reveals the tale behind his missed cut in Denmark, struggling with illness but still finding something to give him encouragement moving forward. There is quite the achievement at the US Amateur to discuss as Jack Whaley provides a rare British win, while Scottie Scheffler ends his drought with a flood of birdies in Memphis. At the same tournament Rory McIlroy's form gives him cause for concern and we prepare ourselves for the dream pro-am line-up in Aberdeen.

Eddie, Iain and Andrew come together once again to discuss all manner of things in the crazy world of golf, not least Eddie's return to tour life which lasted only a couple of days in the Scottish Borders. There is also a review of The Wyndham Championship, Charley Hull's putting nightmare and a grim weekend for Project Badger.

Andrew is still hunting for a wayward drive somewhere, so Iain and Eddie once again hold the fort and bid farewell to major golf for the year with a round-up of The AIG Women's Open. There's plenty of discussion of the dramatic finish as Esther Henseleit holed a monster putt to take it into a play-off, then saw a cruel human ricochet end her hopes with Shiho Kuwaki keeping the title in Japanese hands. There are reflections on the performances of Lottie Woad and Charley Hull, while offering thoughts on Charley's caddy prank, before both Eddie and Iain then realise they are in no position to…
With Andrew taking a break the two-ball of Eddie and Iain tackle all of golf’s biggest talking points: the state of Project Badger, the PGA Tour’s newest superstar and why the Korean winner of the women’s Scottish Open speaks with an Aussie accent. Iain gives his verdict on LIV Golf’s latest event and Eddie tries to guess who handed over the trophy at the Seniors Open. Eddie also expresses some regret about something. Hosted on Acast.

He might not lead The Open Championship at halfway but all the headlines at Birkdale are being made by Bryson DeChambeau, who finished his second round in second place but was then handed a two-shot penalty for improving his lie on the 5th hole. Andrew and Eddie discuss it all while Iain digs around for further news then joins the chat. Quite apart from all that, it was a day of extraordinary golf with 62s being handed in by leader Lucas Herbert and American Sam Burns. Even bigger names are not too far away with Scheffler, Cam Young and Tommy Fleetwood, but the question remains: Will Bryson…
It's Open Championship Eve and Andrew and Iain are separated by a few feet in the media centre, while Eddie is a couple of hundred miles away, but the three gather to have a final look ahead to this year's Open Championship. They discuss the course and the contenders while hearing from Scottie, Rory, Tommy and Justiny. Most importantly, they each pick their horse to lift the Claret Jug. If a horse could do that with its hooves. Not sponsored by EddieBets.

It's only in publishing this episode that we have noticed this is episode 200 of TCF. It is a) remarkable that it has lasted this long and b) it seems appropriate that this milestone marks the start of Open Championship week. Iain is at Birkdale with Andrew about to arrive and Eddie is in between trips to the local farm shop, so all of them gather to reflect on the Scottish Open, the Evian Championship and even the Isco - God bless it - before turning their attention to The Open itself. Plenty more to come this week... Brought to you by: www.petermillar.co.uk And by: www.ping.com Email:…

An early Monday recording with Wimbledon duties for Andrew and Iain, while Eddie is still in the north of Italy, reflecting on an impressive effort in Turin where his 11th place contained a bogey-free run of 56 holes. There is discussion of the Travelers Championship - at the time of recording still to be settled between Scottie Scheffler and Viktor Hovland (spoiler alert: Hovland wins), a first-time winner of a major at the Women's PGA Championship and uninformed debate about what kind of dog Rory McIlroy would be. Brought to you by: www.petermillar.co.uk And by: www.ping.com Email:…
It's our big US Open debrief where Andrew, Iain and Eddie pick over the bones of events at Shinnecock Hills, admiring the play of Wyndham Clark while not in any way admiring the supporters. Is this a problem according to geography or something more widespread? There's also discussion of a near miss for Lottie Woad on the LPGA Tour as we head into major number 3 in the women's game, Iain asks if former professionals should be allowed to return to the amateur game's biggest tournaments and Eddie is preparing for his return to the tour in Italy. Brought to you by: www.petermillar.co.uk And by:…
With Eddie battering away at his high hat, Andrew and Iain get together to give a final preview on the eve of the US Open. They discuss all the favourites and the potential difficulty of the course, while hearing from Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler and Matt Fitzpatrick. They take a wander through the history of The US Open at Shinnecock Hills as well as the place itself and then all three manage to give their picks for the title, letting you know exactly which players you should avoid.

It’s US Open week and Andrew , Eddie and Iain convene to preview the third men’s major of the season. Andrew is missing because of the knock-on effects of Denis Shapovalov being unable to win in straight sets at Queens. There’s a review of the Canadian Open and the Curtis Cup, while Iain tells us (thankfully not) all about his match against Andrew and Eddie reveals just how much he has been practising in the past week. The answer may not entirely surprise you. Brought to you by: www.petermillar.co.uk And by: www.ping.com Email us: tcf@thechippingforecast.co.uk Instagram: @chippingforecast…
The young, fresh and not at all over the hill trio have plenty to get their teeth into this week - Charley Hull goes close in a major once again, but Nelly Korda makes it number four in her collection. Eddie reflects on a tough four days in the Netherlands and an event which leaves all three extolling the virtues of a cut in golf. JT Poston turns his form around to win the Memorial, Andy Murray suffers golfing heartache and Eddie finally decides that he might not rate AI as a swing coach.

This week Andrew and Iain let Eddie reflect upon the sharpest of cuts in Austria, which did at least allow him sauna time with the locals. The trio then talk about a chance missed for Eric Cole to provide Laura Baugh with the perfect birthday present and look ahead to the US Women's Open. Meanwhile, Bryson taking AI coaching advice leads to Andrew - via an unkind ex-tennis player - to receive a disturbingly frank and accurate assessment of his golfing abilities.

This week is full of Belgian waffle but a lot of talk about actual golf stuff as Eddie returns with tales of hole-in-ones, good irons and bad temperament, while Andrew and Iain are determined to let him know that he's close to his best form. Some other matters are discussed as well... he said vaguely.

This week the three not-quite-amigos are talking about a trio of very special victories at the weekend. Aaron Rai becomes England's first (US) PGA Champion in over 100 years and we hear from Wolverhampton's finest on a life-changing victory, which he did with one of the great major final round performances. Meanwhile Lottie Woad wins on the LPGA Tour and Leonie Harm takes victory on the LET in Germany in what is a remarkable life story. There's plenty of time for other chat as well - Eddie's in Belgium preparing to get back out competing, the standard of Welsh golf comes under the spotlight…
A chipolata to snack upon, on the eve of the PGA Championship. Andrew AND Eddie are joined (eventually) by Iain, who gives us his thoughts from Aronimink and in particular why he's grateful that he doesn't have a gambling problem. We hear from Rory McIlroy, who will be hoping to hobble his way into contention on an unsightly foot. And each of the TCF team reveals who they think might win, just so that you know who best to avoid. Email: tcf@thechippingforecast.co.uk Instagram: @chippingforecast Hosted on Acast.

Plenty to discuss this week and a slightly different trio to do so as Iain jets off for the USPGA, so Andrew and Eddie are joined by Chris Wood, whose return to form continued with a victory in Italy on the Hotel Planner Tour. The three talk about the dark times Woody has been through to get to where he is now as well as picking over Eddie's latest decent showing, with a top-20 in Spain that nevertheless led to clubs being either thrown or given away to children. There is also a debut PGA Tour win for Kristoffer Reitan to chat about while looking ahead to the second men's major at Aronimink.…
With Andrew applying the finishing touches to his bumper colouring-in book, Eddie assumes the presenter’s seat buoyed by an encouraging return to action in Turkey. Iain (aka 'The Badger') is also happy with signs that show his golf isn’t quite as hapless as he feared. But the conversation is dominated by events on and off the course at the top of the game. They discuss a slow play penalty at the Turkish Open where there was a heartwarming winner, although we’re not sure whether it happened in Asia or Europe. Eddie and Iain also consider a dominant but dull win for Cameron Young and an…
This week Eddie is preparing for his return to Tour and joins late at night from Turkey as he, Andrew and Iain dissect a busy few days in golf. Alex Fitzpatrick has leaped on to the PGA Tour with his Zurich Classic pairs victory alongside brother Matt, who also plays golf. There is a discussion about the impressive nature of Nelly Korda's win at the Chevron and the less than impressive nature of it as a major. They also mull over the news that Lytham will return as an Open venue in a couple of years time, Jim Furyk will return as US Ryder Cup captain and Justin Rose has decided to start…
You might think that the week after The Masters would be quiet by comparison, but the wonderful world of golf just keeps on giving. Andrew, Iain and Eddie convene to talk about Matt Fitzpatrick taking down Scottie Scheffler at Hilton Head, and wonder where the Sheffield man stands in the pantheon of English golfers. There is also a good deal of LIV discussion with the future of the tour uncertain, questioning of driving distance stats, a look ahed to the women's major season and most importantly, we discover which golfer is considered the craziest on tour.
