The Pursuit of Happiness

Season 1, Ep. 111

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).

  • 157. BONUS - The Return of the Edi

    43:25||Season 1, Ep. 157
    He only went and did it... A special episode to mark a special achievement by a special man. Eddie regains his DP World Tour card by finishing with four straight birdies at the final stage of qualifying school in Spain. He joins Iain and Andrew to discuss his performance and where it leaves him now. Emotions ran high in Spain and everybody in the TCF family can celebrate for now. But as he says, it's only a start.

  • 156. School Days

    01:10:42||Season 1, Ep. 156
    An episode which comes in the midst of the final of Q-School, yet Eddie is happy to have a glass of wine and chat about his current position going into the final two rounds. There is of course plenty to discuss on other matters as well, including Aaron Rai's win in Abu Dhabi and who is in and out of various things, such as PGA Tour cards and bonus pools. There is also a short debate about whether Rory McIlroy is more famous than Andy Murray as well as Andrew droning on about overseas French and Danish territories.Visit: www.petermillar.co.ukInstagram: @chippingforecastEmail: tcf@thechippingforecast.co.uk
  • 155. E.P. Can't Phone Home.

    01:06:52||Season 1, Ep. 155
    Q-School is in session and Eddie has safely negotiated stage 2. Unfortunately the same can't be said for some expensive possessions as he admits that the frustration of hitting the ball as well as he ever has was not matched by his putting.And yet... he gets to stay on in Barcelona to prepare for stage 3, while Iain has arrived in Dubai ahead of the two big end of season events on the DP World Tour. There is further chat about James Morrison finding his way back to the main tour, Tom McKibbin earning his way to the Masters and The Open as well as a mention of the Chinese Tiger Woods, changes to the Old Course and a sponsor's invitation for perhaps the best connected 18 year old in the game.Warning: this podcast is stuffed full of fluff.Visit: www.petermillar.co.ukInstagram: @chippingforecastEmail: tcf@thechippingforecast.co.uk
  • 154. Two Under Par

    54:39||Season 1, Ep. 154
    A rare episode that falls below the one-hour mark, but there are valid reasons:1) It's not the busiest time in golf, 2) Andrew is at death's door so hasn't got quite as much of his non-golf nonsense to waffle on about, 3) Eddie professes to being in the doldrums so isn't really feeling it as he prepares for the second stage of Q-School and 4) Iain is in Venice and has a lot of explaining to do to his sister-in-law.All that being said, we hope you still enjoy it and come back soon.Visit: www.petermillar.co.ukEmail:tcf@thechippingforecast.co.ukInstagram: @chippingforecast
  • 153. A Snowman in New Delhi

    01:01:37||Season 1, Ep. 153
    So... that's that for Eddie on Tour this season. Despite (partly) enjoying the DP World India Championship in New Delhi - and also playing a lot of good golf - one quadruple bogey ended his weekend chances and now he's back, shivering and trying to explain himself while wearing three coats in his own home. But we discover that Eddie does now intend to go to Q-School, thus ensuring more drama for the podcast in the weeks to come.There is obviously plenty of praise for Tommy Fleetwood and his latest victory in a season which, according to Andrew and Iain, puts him firmly in the top-three golfers of the year. Meanwhile Andrew tries very hard not to start a coup in West Africa or escalate tensions in the South China Sea. And Iain recommends a film starring an actor called Leonardo DiCaprio, so hopefully that will give a boost to the fellow's career.TCF brought to you by: www.petermillar.co.ukInstagram: @chippingforecastEmail: tcf@thechippingforecast.co.uk
  • 152. An Indian Summer

    01:17:05||Season 1, Ep. 152
    An earlier than usual recording as Eddie is spending all of Monday travelling to India, having received an invitation to play in the DP World Championship in Delhi. He still makes time to join Andrew and Iain to discuss Marco Penge completing his third victory of a remarkable season in Spain. Xander Schauffele is back in the winner's circle after his triumph in Japan and World Number One Jeeno Thitikul becomes the first repeat winner of the LPGA season. In other news, Iain bought a swing training aid and Andrew will not be selling potatoes any time soon.The Chipping Forecast is in association with: www.petermillar.co.ukEmail: tcf@thechippingforecast.co.ukInstagram: @chippingforecast
  • 151. Out of the Shadows

    01:08:59||Season 1, Ep. 151
    An eagerly-awaited serving of TCF as Eddie gets to tell us all about the Dunhill Links experience where he showed more than a few glimpses of what he can do and where he belongs. Partnered with Andy Murray and playing with some of Europe's finest, there were huge crowds, 18 birdies for Eddie and a sizeable contingent of dogs as well as Big Ron and Mad Gazza planning their Saturday night out. A good week was clearly had by all, but where does Eddie go from here? Add to this the news that Eddie was served with a court order and Iain fell over in a kitchen and you can imagine that it is quite the episode.

  • 150. The Ryder Cup - Won and Done

    01:01:14||Season 1, Ep. 150
    Here they are, Andrew, Iain and Eddie reunited and ready to review the remarkable Ryder Cup at Bethpage, where the USA nearly achieved the comeback to beat all comebacks, but Europe held on to retain the trophy. The possible reasons why are examined as well as a discussion about the less than enjoyable atmosphere. And for clickbait purposes, there is a tale of NEAR-DEATH on the Long Island Expressway.
