EP32: End of year pod Dec 27, 2023

Show notes

It’s the end of the year show. A big show in a real studio. With real ferns. And with only two of the trio on site since Andrew decided that travelling halfway across the country and back on the busiest, most chaotic travel day of the year was not worth it. Even for ferns. But they still manage to pick over the bones of the remarkable golfing year of 2023 in a very Chipping Forecast way, handing out some awards, forgetting lots of stuff and with the editor poised since Eddie had already had a glass of champagne. Thanks for listening this year and see you for more in 2024.

EP31: Eddie's Barn Episode Dec 19, 2023

Show notes

It’s a special episode this week as Eddie, Iain and Andrew managed to meet up and have a chat while playing the Road Hole at St Andrews. Thanks to the glories of almighty technology they have managed to do all this in a barn at Eddie’s house.

With little serious golf to discuss they manage to flesh things out by not really talking about Charlie Woods and his father’s mentality, deciding which golf course is the highest in the UK and continuing a discussion about which golfers are Mormons. The prospect of the PGA Tour finding new riches also crops up, as does Jon Rahm (again). All of this while the three-ball wanders down the virtual 17th on the Old Course and dogs create all sorts of sound issues by hitting the microphones with their tails.

EP30: A Scotch Sixsome. Dec 12, 2023

Show notes

An assortment of topics take our attention this week - There’s news of PGA Tour investment while Tony Finau decides to stay put, Ludvig Åberg switches caddies and Iain tells us about the excitement of his golfing WhatsApp group. Andrew then talks about the name Orlando - which is probably the point that the East Sydney Kookaburras Under 12s cricket team tells their coach they’d rather listen to something else.

EP29: Eddie's Anxiety Dream Dec 04, 2023

Show notes

Once again Andrew and Iain bring their sparkling conversation from early morning in the dark depths of the UK, while Eddie prepares for a nice dinner in Sydney. This week Iain seems pleased because he has hit two good chips, Eddie is clearly tortured based on his nocturnal visions and Andrew is dismayed by people humble-bragging on social media. But they do also manage to dissect the weekend’s golf - Scottie Scheffler’s improved putting, LIV golfers triumphing, Tiger coming through unscathed. They then try and explain how important or unimportant it is that the golf ball is going to be changed for all of us and we have only seven years to prepare ourselves mentally for the loss of a few yards. They also decide that none of the trio is rizz.

EP28: Call me Dr. Chipinski Nov 27, 2023

Show notes

And then they were three again. This week Eddie returns with tales of his Australian adventures so far - largely concerning a lob wedge which apparently simply slipped from his grasp and flew into a lake. They also discuss the continuing rise of Min Woo Lee, pretend-filming on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, flawed golf training aids and the absurdity of PIP payments. All of which appears to have sent Eddie over the edge.

EP27: From Oban to Orlando Nov 21, 2023

Show notes

EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/chipping - Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee!

This week Eddie has taken time to recover from a long business-class flight, so Andrew and Iain carry on as a two-ball, discussing such matters as the DP World Tour Championship, the continuing rise of Ludvig Åberg and a year-long delay to TGL. They also find time for mention of Stephen Hendry’s Youtube channel, animatronic dinosaurs and Blandemonium returning to LIV golf.

EP26: Seve's spinning tee Nov 13, 2023

Show notes

This week the trio talk about the emotional return to form of Camilo Villegas following his win in Bermuda. This is in stark contrast to Iain’s alarming loss of form in Dubai, which has contained far too many double-bogeys as well as a deeply hypocritical hole-in-one celebration.

Other topics covered include 'expected scores’ for handicap purposes, Tommy Fleetwood’s magic move and doomed hippos in Colombia.

Meanwhile apologies are offered by Eddie and Andrew for mis-remembering phone calls in 2018 and St Andrews in 1984.

BOSH...

EP25: Luke Donald and the Oestrogen Mice Nov 07, 2023

Show notes

This week’s pod comes from Troon, Oxfordshire, Dubai and Florida, with all the wifi lags that such a thing entails. But it’s worth it as Iain, Eddie and Andrew are joined by Luke Donald who gives an insight into the effort and detail behind the scenes at the Ryder Cup and ponders the possibility of another captaincy. Eddie petitions hard for a menial role at Bethpage and petitions even harder for a bone broth sponsorship. TGL is given some detailed analysis, although Iain is denied a chance to show his knowledge of the original Boston Common as Andrew talks about Giant Haystacks instead. We also find out from whom Eddie might have inherited his dishonest ways.
