The Chipping Forecast

If one of our correspondents is correct in saying that we didn't break 80 with our last episode, then it is very possible we shoot in the low-90s with this one. Iain is absent and Andrew and Eddie drift, rudderless, across the golfing oceans although they do make attempts to discuss the dramatic finish to the first women's major of the season, a first win for Marco Penge and his impressive thighs on the DP World Tour and also wonder if playing good golf on your own is actually good golf at all.Visit: www.petermillar.co.ukhttps://biggolfrace.prostatecanceruk.org/Instagram: @chippingforecastemail us: tcf@thechippingforecast.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

After the excitement of the Masters, this week's Chipping Forecast deals with the excitement of jet-washing a patio and humane methods of dealing with ants. Beyond that the trio discuss Justin Thomas and Ashun Wu returning to the winner's circle, serving as inspiration for Eddie. And our resident tour player talks with some positivity about his own golf and looks forward to a game on Thursday where he will, for once, be the happiest person in his group.Visit: www.petermillar.co.ukSign up: biggolfrace.prostatecanceruk.orgWatch a young(er) less jaded Andrew wander in to the Butler Cabin: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/golf/35990197Email us: tcf@thechippingforecast.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

Our full Chipping Forecast review of the Masters where we hear from Rory McIlroy and Eddie joins for the first time in a week to give us his thoughts on what was the greatest golfing day in recent memory. We go through the highs and lows of that final round again and analyse where it was won and lost, with more than a tip of the Peter Millar cap to Justin Rose who has been rather lost in the Rory story. Iain joins in midway through after his two hours of sleep and before another full day of broadcasting duties, to talk about a win which has captured the imagination far beyond the world of hardcore golf fans and the trio wonder what McIlroy might now go on to achieve...In association with www.petermillar.co.ukVisit https://biggolfrace.prostatecanceruk.org/The Chipping Forecast Instagram: @chippingforecast Hosted on Acast.

So, it happened. In a quite dramatic fashion. Our normal pod will drop later today, but here is our final mini-pod/chipolata of the 2025 Masters, as Rory McIlroy banishes the demons to take the green jacket and complete the career grand slam. Iain is drinking wine during this recording. That's how dramatic it was. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

An unscheduled and slightly scrawny chipolata, but one which was necessary because of the situation at The Masters with an outstanding Saturday setting up what could be one of the great duels in major golf. Very tired and slightly incoherent, Andrew and Iain give their thoughts on what they saw on Saturday and what they hope or expect to unfold on Sunday at Augusta National. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Our Masters halfway point episode and there is more than a healthy dose of interest in the leaderboard as Justin Rose is still out in front with Bryson Dechambeau a shot further back, with Rory McIlroy, Tyrrell Hatton, Shane Lowry and Scottie Scheffler close at hand. Mmmm.... Nice.Andrew and Iain discuss it all and wonder about the weekend to come. Eddie was going to join to share his thoughts but he sent himself to bed in disgrace in the UAE instead, where - after his two shot penalty for missing his tee-time - he missed the cut by one. Onward...Instagram - @chippingforecastEmail - tcf@thechippingforecast.co.ukwww.petermillar.co.uk Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

An intriguing first round of the Masters is done. Dusted. Andrew and Iain convene on opposite sides of the Atlantic to discuss it all, with Justin Rose finding himself in a very familiar position of leading at Augusta. But with Scottie Scheffler tied for second alongside Ludvig Åberg, the defending champion looms large in his bid to make it three wins win four years. And what in Heavens to Betsy happened to Rory? Cruising along and seemingly in control, two double-bogeys in the last four holes have made his task a whole lot more difficult.Meanwhile we are keeping a close eye on Eddie's adventures out in the Middle-East and, as the clickbait headlines go, 'You won't BELIEVE what happened to this player in his first round!!!'

Our final big preview episode for the 2025 Masters in which Andrew and Iain persuade Eddie to join them from the United Arab Emirates, so that they can all share their relatively informed thoughts on what might happen over the next four days at Augusta National. Iain is invited round to Laurie Canter's very nice house to sit down and have a chat ahead of a Masters debut for Eddie's best man. We also hear from a very relaxed Rory McIlroy as he once again takes most of the attention in the build-up to what might or might not be the final leg of a Grand Slam. There is still time for a discussion on some deeply unimpressive viewing figures for LIV at the weekend, and for the Eddie die-hards there is also something of a preview of his latest tournament, where our intrepid Tour player seems most concerned that he can't find any butter or sugar in his accommodation for the week.biggolfrace.prostatecanceruk.orgwww.petermillar.co.uk Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Possibly our longest pod yet, but we're simply not going to apologise, since the long months of waiting are finally over and it's MASTERS WEEK. Iain has arrived on the ground in Augusta, while Andrew and Eddie tell themselves that it's just as much fun preparing the different sporting challenges that await in Putney and The United Arab Emirates.As well as a preview of things yet to come in Georgia, we take a look at events from the weekend on the various tours (although we lost our way and forgot to mention Madelene Sagström's matchplay win over Lauren Coughlin in Las Vegas). We do, though, talk about ANWA and also fondly remember one of Britain's greatest amateur golfers, Peter McEvoy.Visit biggolfrace.prostatecanceruk.orgVisit petermillar.co.ukWatch Iain, Eddie and Andrew, the glory years: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p06351k6/clips Hosted on Acast.

A momentous episode as The Chipping Forecast announces its new partnership with Peter Millar. Our trio celebrate by wondering if it would be possible for Andrew to break 100 at DLF and by further considering whether Eddie should be Prime Minister to improve Trans-Atlantic trade. They then discuss the win for Min Woo Lee in Houston, plus the good form of Scheffler and McIlroy and the fact that Laurie Canter is heading to The Masters. They also ponder the nature of friendship and bemoan the fact that Peter Millar is unlikely to see an uplift in sales in either Belarus or Slovenia.

On this week's episode, Andrew and Iain feel it is their duty to point out to Eddie that he is actually very good at golf, despite what he might think, and they discuss Viktor Hovland's win on the PGA Tour as a prime example of form never being too far away. However, after a missed cut Eddie has headed off to Goa - as you do - to put on sandals and contemplate the meaning of life, the universe and everything while enjoying the omelette bar at a five-star beach resort. Will he ever return? Tune in to find out.(The answer is yes, he misses the dogs too much).Visit biggolfrace.prostatecanceruk.org Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

An extra-long episode which could certainly have been shorter, but how else would our intrepid trio manage to talk about everything that's going on? We hear from Rory McIlroy after he wins the Players Championship in a Monday play-off with JJ (JM) Spaun. Eddie has troubling tales of pencil misuse in India, despite Jen claiming another top-ten. We try to answer the question - do caddies make a difference? Iain talks about the growing gap between top-level golfers and many of those who wish to hear from them. Then Andrew tries to set-up a game of golf with Eddie. Only for Eddie to deny him, by saying that he doesn't owe anybody in the media anything.Find out more now about Prostate Cancer UK's Big Golf Race at biggolfrace.prostatecanceruk.org Hosted on Acast.

As promised, a bonus pod to look ahead to the Players Championship with Andrew, Iain and a guest appearance from Players debutant Laurie Canter with his new cufflinks. It was supposed to be just 20 minutes or so, but they somehow manage to stretch it out from chipolata into full blown hot dog. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

For this episode we are running at 66.66666666 percent (recurring) capacity as Iain is on his way to Sawgrass ahead of The Players Championship, leaving Andrew and Eddie to ramble on without any particular cohesion. Eddie has arrived in Calcutta / Kolkata at the start of a four week run on the Challenge / HotelPlanner Tour and as well as looking ahead to that, the pair reflect on Arnie's tournament at Bay Hill, ponder whether Sergio Garcia might play again in the Ryder Cup and have a chat with Calum Hill after his play-off win in South Africa.Visit biggolfrace.prostatecanceruk.org https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6svRbCgDm8w Hosted on Acast.

Iain's skiing, Eddie's sleeping and I'm editing after midnight. So I have little else to say except that this episode is about golf and other things.

This week, Eddie is fighting fatigue after returning from Kenya and is also tired from grappling with golfing demons. We hear where he is with his game, what's next for him and how he did at least manage to buy the friendship of wildlife. The three discuss the win for Brian Campbell on the PGA Tour, talk about one of the best swings in the game and hear from Europe's new Ryder Cup captain Anna Nordqvist. They also discuss drinking while playing golf, but decide that it is neither big nor clever.To sign up to Prostate Cancer UK's Big Golf Race, go to biggolfrace.prostatecanceruk.org Hosted on Acast.

This week Eddie reflects upon his 6th-place finish in his first Challenge Tour event in eight years and talks about much he enjoyed the week in South Africa, while gossip abounds that he may be having a relationship with his caddy. Andrew and Iain both congratulate Eddie on his decent result by telling him how little money it was actually worth. The three also discuss Ludvig Åberg's impressive win at Torrey Pines, a life-changing performance for Annabell Fuller and how much impact the increase in available Hammers will have on TGL and possibly the entire world.This episode is sponsored by Neck Pillows and Yorkshire Pies.

On the pod this week - tales of poor golf in Qatar, great tour guides in Berlin and world class parking in Edinburgh. Also discussed: LIV golf on free TV in the UK, Thomas Detry's victory on the PGA Tour and Eddie in South Africa to see George - both Coetzee and the city - ahead of his appearance on the Challenge Tour. Lots of other stuff as well, but I've been editing this for some time now.... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week Eddie is back on Tour and preparing for his return to competitive golf by burning his forehead in Qatar. But before contemplating his own form, Eddie and the other two less talented golfers are able to reflect on a weekend of popular victories with the very tall Laurie Canter moving close to the top-50 in the world after victory in Bahrain and Rory McIlroy closing in on Scottie Scheffler at the very top of the rankings with his dominant display at Pebble Beach.There's plenty more besides, including Andrew detailing his short career as a motivational speaker and Iain telling us how he came to play for Leicestershire.

This week is a special episode as Andrew, Eddie and Iain decide to head off on their own into the podcasting world, possibly never to be seen again. But while they are still with us they take time to talk about Eddie's illness, Iain's birthday drinking games and Andrew's new desk. In more golf-related matters, they discuss the latest first-time winner on the DP World Tour and have a look Stateside where Harris English came through from a weak field at Torrey Pines and something happened in the TGL which was possibly exciting but, more likely, not.There is also time to consider commentators calling out slow play and a YouTuber who has signed up to spread the word of LIV golf in a move which may end up being more significant than the signing of Tour players.

This week Andrew, Eddie and Iain talk Tyrell again as Hatton wins in Dubai and once more shows that he is both brilliant and belligerent on the golf course. Eddie would love to be either of those things, but getting invitations into forthcoming events is proving difficult. This leads to a discussion about who gets priority in terms of entries into tournaments - with the answer demonstrating exactly where the power lies in the game now. Although Eddie freely admits that the way around all such issues is simply to play better. The three also have a chat about friend of the pod Laurie Canter and his rise up the rankings, they continue to wonder what the point of TGL is, discuss the tiny country producing great talents and receive new information about the top golf course sledging destinations.

A quieter week in golf, but still plenty to reflect upon as Charley Hull returned to winning ways with her victory in Saudi Arabia and 22 players earned DP World Tour cards through the Challenge Tour rankings.

Andrew and Iain are more concerned that Eddie hasn't read any Roald Dahl. hey do manage to mention the proposed narrowing of membership of the PGA Tour and the report that a merger between PIF and that Tour is on its way. However, they fail to discuss the fact that Wentworth had to issue a denial about rumours (passed on by Eddie last week) that the PIF might be buying the club. Instead, they find time for a chat about planned obsolescence in electric toothbrushes. Which all might mean the pod becomes obsolete very shortly...

Eddie is back with very little sleep but brings tales from the Orient, as he came close to keeping his Tour card in Korea and in the process won many friends. And isn't that more important? Well, no... the card is more important. But he tells Andrew and Iain that it's now all about Q-School in Spain and that his game is in good shape. He also considers how he might have done things differently this year but is focussing on the important things in life. Such as getting a set of waterproofs that mice haven't eaten.

Eddie is back with very little sleep but brings tales from the Orient, as he came close to keeping his Tour card in Korea and in the process won many friends. And isn't that more important? Well, no... the card is more important. But he tells Andrew and Iain that it's now all about Q-School in Spain and that his game is in good shape.

Eddie is reduced to a WhatsApp message this week as he has been excused pod duties so that he can fly to Korea and play some rather important golf. There, he might handle his jet-lag by listening to Iain's robust defence of his character following remarks made on last week's pod about handing in scores for a handicap. With the jury deliberating, the pair move on to chat about a marathon play-off win for Julien Guerrier, talk about the efficacy or otherwise of golf psychology and reveal which golfer truly transformed the professional game in the late 90s. As well as discussing high drama in front of the senior ladies section at a Canadian Golf Club.

Increase your productivity by 400 PER CENT by listening to this week's episode, where Eddie recounts weekend woes in France and appalling aeroplane etiquette. The trio go on to try and explain why the appearance of anchoring in a putting stroke might not really be anchoring. There is further criticism of the handicap system as it is now and of those many golfers who abuse it - on which note there is quite the revelation from Iain. But his name is dying out, so we cut him some slack. And if all that's not enough for you, Andrew talks about motivation in business and bored, drunk wasps.

It's a Dunhill Links debrief this week and while Andrew and Iain skirt delicately around the issue, Eddie is quite happy to talk about life before and after the 16th hole at Kingsbarns. They also discuss Tyrell Hatton's win - taking a huge cheque from the DP World Tour which would cover his DP World Tour fines if he should ever decide to pay them. They get into the revival of Nicolas Colsaerts, as well as wondering about poor on-course behaviour and what possible mitigation there might be. Yet there is still time for more musings on the future of the professional game, clarification on which Open course is closest to the sea and an explanation for being half-naked in Bernhard Langer's hotel room.

This week Eddie reflects on his demi-tournament in Spain and reveals the reason why his missed cut was particularly hard to take (yet vital to restore flagging energy). The three also look back at the Presidents Cup and wonder if it needs a change in format, while asking how short does a putt have to be before it is a gimmie? They also look ahead to the Dunhill Links this week and try to uncover the mysteries of how the amateurs are paired with the professionals, while Iain confesses that his driving distance stats recently suffered a major set-back.
