Episode notes
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…

WEDNESDAY AT BIRKDALE
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.

The Greatest Week in Golf
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:…

101 Not Out
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…

Presidents, Pain Killers and The Ghost Ship of Golf.
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…

Spaun Doolicks and Manuel Labour
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…

Solheim, Shane and Pain
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:…
