EP04: Susan's Deep Sleep Jul 04, 2023

Show notes

Just Andrew and Eddie on the first tee at the start of the show as Iain tries to navigate his way along the A3 through south west London en route to Wimbledon. In the mean time Andrew and Eddie go though some reviews of the pod so far both positive and negative, break down Eddie's tilt at the British Masters including a discarded club into the woods and also his driver woes! Iain does arrive and is immediately interrupted by a fire alarm test in SW19, but that doesn't put him off as the three talk about the battle for fans with LIV in town, The Open qualifying and as Eddie calls it the 'ridiculous' handicapping system allowing golfers that aren't up to scratch to try and qualify for The Open.

EP03: The Thomas Bjørn Imposter Jun 26, 2023

Show notes

Andrew, Eddie and Iain are back where they review the Women's PGA Championship in Baltusrol and why Iain preferred it to the men's US Open the week before. The trio go deep into the weeds, or rough if you will, with the bifurcation of golf - should the pros be using different equipment and balls to level the playing field than those that us regular hackers and swishers do? They also look ahead to the British Masters asking if British players based in the USA have the obligation to play in tournaments in their home country. We find out what happened to Eddie in the Munich Pro-Am and why it didn't go particularly well for him the next two days on the DP World Tour. One of Andrew's dogs makes a guest appearance and we find out why Elton John's drummer plays in a golf glove. Eddie also thinks Iain's hotel room in New York seems to be haunted so encourages him to watch Stranger Things, only on the plane home though!

EP02: Apologies to Ray Ainsley Jun 20, 2023

Show notes

Andrew, Eddie and Iain review the US Open in Los Angeles where Rory McIlroy so nearly ended his almost decade long major-drought. Andrew provides irrefutable evidence that he predicted the win for Wyndham Clark and Eddie talks about the problems for golfers when their short game deserts them. There's also an edition of Ed-heads (Eddie quizzing Andrew & Iain on the US Open) and Iain struggles to remember how old the evergreen Martin Kaymer is. The guys also discuss the reaction to the first pod and there's a very special look ahead to Episode 3.

EP01: A Good Talk Spoiled Jun 13, 2023

Show notes

In the inaugural episode of The Chipping Forecast, leading commentator Andrew Cotter and fan favourite Eddie Pepperell are joined by one of the most distinctive voices in golf, Iain Carter, to talk about the creation of, as Andrew calls it, "yet another golf podcast". They discuss the various names on the table, how The Chipping Forecast came about and how Eddie is completely oblivious to Radio 4's The Shipping Forecast. Eddie recounts his return to form in the Scandinavian Open over the weekend, after his 10-shot horror on a par 3 the week before - he also shares exactly how bad that weekend got but also a brilliant putting tip too. Of course on also on the menu is the news that rocked the sporting world last week - Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund and LIV Golf controversially merging with the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour. And, as Iain is in California ahead of the US Open, the three preview the tournament, dissect the golf course in Los Angeles, discuss the runners and riders as well as look at the form of Rory McIlroy, could the Northern Irishman break his 9-year major drought?
