EP67: One Down, Two to Play

Season 1, Ep. 67

This week Eddie is on a break, so Andrew turns up at Iain’s house on the way into Wimbledon to chat. But since both have been covering tennis - with Iain also deciding to throw in a Killers concert - they are less informed than usual and instead end up talking about TV theme tunes of the 70s and 80s. However, they also hear from a qualifier for the Open Championship and his major-winning mother about what it means to play at Troon and find plenty of time to discuss why iron covers are seen as the work of the devil.

    01:14:02||Season 1, Ep. 198
    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.ukAnd by: www.ping.comEmail: tcf@thechippingforecast.co.ukInstagram: @chippingforecast

    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.

The answer may not entirely surprise you.Brought to you by: www.petermillar.co.ukAnd by: www.ping.comEmail us: tcf@thechippingforecast.co.ukInstagram: @chippingforecast
  • 194. Water Ski Jumping Over Greg Norman

    01:16:04||Season 1, Ep. 194
    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 episode is brought to you by: www.petermillar.co.ukAnd by: www.ping.comEmail: tcf@thechippingforecast.co.ukInstagram: @chippingforecast
  • 193. The Cruel, Inhuman Coach

    01:14:23||Season 1, Ep. 193
    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.TCF brought to you by: www.petermillar.co.ukAnd also: www.ping.comEmail: tcf@thechippingforecast.co.ukInstagram: @chippingforecast
  • 192. The Ace of (Broken) Clubs

    01:08:14||Season 1, Ep. 192
    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.Brought to you by: www.petermillar.co.ukAnd: www.ping.comEmail:tcf@thechippingforecast.co.ukInstagram: @chippingforecast
  • 191. A Rai Smile

    01:16:40||Season 1, Ep. 191
    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 and Andrew shows his very selective memory in predicting winners.Visit: www.petermillar.co.ukThe BunkR wedge (and much more) at: www.ping.comEmail: tcf@thechippingforecast.co.ukInstagram: @chippingforecast

    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.ukInstagram: @chippingforecast
