MASTERS BONUS: Round Three Review Apr 14, 2024

Show notes

Iain rejoins Andrew as the pair ruminate on round three and what might unfold on Masters Sunday. Saturday saw Scottie Scheffler wobbling before recovering, Collin Morikawa returning to the form of old and Ludvig Åberg challenging on his major debut. Andrew jinxes any British player on the final hole, but we do hear from Tommy Fleetwood and Iain tells us of an exotic foodstuff he has discovered and wants to share it with the world. It’s not a Terry’s Chocolate Orange.

MASTERS BONUS: Round One Review Apr 12, 2024

Show notes

Round One of the Masters is almost done as some stormy weather meant not all golfers completed their rounds, however, Andrew and Iain convened at the hooter to dissect an intriguing day's play. We hear from former champion Danny Willett after his improbable -4 score having been out for 6 months and the BBC's John Murray makes a fleeting appearance too. And much to Iain's delight there's finally a discount code for TCF listeners for his book, it's out now, apparently.

MASTERS BONUS: A room with a Masters view Apr 10, 2024

Show notes

It’s the eve of Masters Eve and Andrew joins Iain in his BBC house, with the alternative being a three-hour journey to Andrew’s Airbnb. The two contemplate Rory McIlroy’s attempts to do very little talking in the build-up and a press conference which might as well have had the clock from Countdown going off on the ten minute mark. They consider the offerings from the other major contenders while Iain then becomes unnecessarily concerned about his pronunciation of the word ‘Masters’. In a thrilling denouement to the episode Andrew talks about how he wants to record some local birdsong and then doesn’t actually do it.

EP47: Masters Preview featuring Jon Rahm Apr 09, 2024

Show notes

A rare Sunday pod recording as Andrew is due to fly to the USA to join Iain for one of the best weeks in golf in Augusta, Georgia at the Masters. Eddie joins to preview the famous tournament and almost falls out with Iain over Brooks Koepka and Rory McIlory. We hear from the much fancied Joaquin Niemann as well as last year's winner, LIV's Jon Rahm, who educates Iain on Basque pintxos. We also speak to the new Augusta National Women's Amateur Champion, Farnham's very own Lottie Woad and find out if it was indeed her dad who stalked Eddie from the trees at the Sunningdale Foursomes.

BONUS POD: Inside LIV and tales of Tiger and the Shark Apr 05, 2024

Show notes

A special episode of TCF as Iain reports from LIV Miami where he has been chatting to some of the top players who crush, rip and fireball it, as well as making an appearance on LIV TV to debate the merits of the two sides of the great divide in the game. In this pod we also hear from Hughes Norton about his book ‘Rainmaker’ and his life as one of the most influential managers in the game and he tells us what it was like to steer the careers of such luminaries as Tiger Woods and Greg Norman. And his heavily implied regret that he never had the chance to manage Eddie Pepperell.

EP46: Mama Wallace's Shepherd's Pie Apr 02, 2024

Show notes

This week three becomes four - at least for the duration it takes for Matt Wallace to cook his dinner, as he joins us to give another insight into the highs and lows of life as a tour pro. They review the weekend’s golf and decide that golf needs - and has - a new villain, while the women’s game has a clear star. They also decide that there are too many famous Nakajimas, that Eddie may have a claim to a record breaking clubhouse and that Andrew has an obvious naivety when it comes to ordering products online.

EP45: Pepper Priorities Mar 26, 2024

Show notes

Unexpectedly, the golf talking trio are all back in the UK as Eddie has decided to deprive the people of India of seeing him in his shorts. So they convene in the same time-zone to talk about more Scandinavian talent coming through and the continuing march of the PGA Tour journeymen, as well as discussing a boastful Bobby Mac and the unfathomable names chosen by Americans for their children. They also reveal the best value course in the UK, as chosen by you, the lovely and loyal listener.

EP44: Around the World in Matey Ways. Mar 19, 2024

Show notes

This week our knowledge of time zones is sorely tested with Iain in Florida, Andrew in the UK and Eddie in Singapore. They manage to convene to discuss a tonic for the PGA Tour with an outstanding finish to the Players Championship and consider the current dazzling form of Scottie Scheffler. And that’s about it - yet still they somehow manage to spin it out over an hour by talking about the connection between Singapore and Canada, the difference between big cat species in heraldry and Eddie’s true shirt size.

EP43: Hit it further. The secret revealed Mar 13, 2024

Show notes

Our trio are reunited with Andrew's mountainous sojourn over, much to Eddie's relief. They begin by looking back at Eddie's near miracles at the Sunningdale Foursomes, Iain navigates the press room in Sawgrass at The Players Championship and Andrew falls down a Chinese foot binding rabbit hole. Pro golfer Oli Wilson also joins the pod to review Matteo Mannasaro's stunning win in South Africa and Oli reveals his secret to hitting the ball further - not to be missed.
