The Chipping Forecast

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 certainly quite unwell and the three have their say on where things could and should go from here as well as wondering if they should make friends with automated mowers as a way of ensuring decent treatment by our robotic overlords in the not too distant future.This episode is brought to you by: www.petermillar.co.ukAnd also: www.ping.comSubscribe to The Chipping Forecast on Substack: https://thechippingforecast.substack.com/Email: tcf@thechippingforecast.co.ukInstagram: @chippingforecast

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.This episode is brought to you by: www.petermillar.comAnd also: www.ping.comThe Chipping Forecast is also on Substack: https://substack.com/@thechippingforecastEmail: tcf@thechippingforecast.co.ukInstagram: @chippingforecast

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.This episode is brought to you by: www.petermillar.co.ukAnd also by: www.ping.comTHE CHIPPING FORECAST ON SUBSTACK: https://thechippingforecast.substack.com/Email: tcf@thechippingforecast.co.ukInstagram: @chippingforecast

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 criticise.There is then discussion of the Solheim Cup as Europe's captain Anna Nordqvist finalises her team, a review of The Rocket Classic on the PGA Tour as another young gun gets firing and Eddie contemplates his own return to competitive golf.Brought to you by: www.petermillar.co.ukAnd: www.ping.comEmail: tcf@thechippingforecast.co.ukInstagram: @chippingforecast

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.

A very quick and brief reaction pod to Ryan Fox winning The Open at Birkdale. That's all.

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 play? And will Donald Trump put in a call to have it overturned?Brought to you by: www.petermillar.co.ukAnd by: www.ping.comEmail:tcf@thechippingforecast.co.ukInstagram: @chippingforecast

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.Brought to you by: www.petermillar.comAnd by: www.ping.comEmail:tcf@thechippingforecast.co.ukInstagram: @chippingforecast
