The Cruel, Inhuman Coach Jun 01, 2026

Show notes

This week Andrew and Iain let Eddie reflect upon the sharpest of cuts in Austria, which did at least allow him sauna time with the locals. The trio then talk about a chance missed for Eric Cole to provide Laura Baugh with the perfect birthday present and look ahead to the US Women's Open. Meanwhile, Bryson taking AI coaching advice leads to Andrew - via an unkind ex-tennis player - to receive a disturbingly frank and accurate assessment of his golfing abilities.

The Ace of (Broken) Clubs May 25, 2026

Show notes

This week is full of Belgian waffle but a lot of talk about actual golf stuff as Eddie returns with tales of hole-in-ones, good irons and bad temperament, while Andrew and Iain are determined to let him know that he's close to his best form. Some other matters are discussed as well... he said vaguely.

A Rai Smile May 18, 2026

Show notes

This week the three not-quite-amigos are talking about a trio of very special victories at the weekend. Aaron Rai becomes England's first (US) PGA Champion in over 100 years and we hear from Wolverhampton's finest on a life-changing victory, which he did with one of the great major final round performances. Meanwhile Lottie Woad wins on the LPGA Tour and Leonie Harm takes victory on the LET in Germany in what is a remarkable life story. There's plenty of time for other chat as well - Eddie's in Belgium preparing to get back out competing, the standard of Welsh golf comes under the spotlight and Andrew shows his very selective memory in predicting winners.

(The Original) PGA Preview May 13, 2026

Show notes

A chipolata to snack upon, on the eve of the PGA Championship. Andrew AND Eddie are joined (eventually) by Iain, who gives us his thoughts from Aronimink and in particular why he's grateful that he doesn't have a gambling problem. We hear from Rory McIlroy, who will be hoping to hobble his way into contention on an unsightly foot. And each of the TCF team reveals who they think might win, just so that you know who best to avoid.

The Wood, The Mad and The Club-Tree May 11, 2026

Show notes

Plenty to discuss this week and a slightly different trio to do so as Iain jets off for the USPGA, so Andrew and Eddie are joined by Chris Wood, whose return to form continued with a victory in Italy on the Hotel Planner Tour. The three talk about the dark times Woody has been through to get to where he is now as well as picking over Eddie's latest decent showing, with a top-20 in Spain that nevertheless led to clubs being either thrown or given away to children. There is also a debut PGA Tour win for Kristoffer Reitan to chat about while looking ahead to the second men's major at Aronimink.

Iron Man Returns May 04, 2026

Show notes

With Andrew applying the finishing touches to his bumper colouring-in book, Eddie assumes the presenter’s seat buoyed by an encouraging return to action in Turkey. Iain (aka 'The Badger') is also happy with signs that show his golf isn’t quite as hapless as he feared. But the conversation is dominated by events on and off the course at the top of the game. They discuss a slow play penalty at the Turkish Open where there was a heartwarming winner, although we’re not sure whether it happened in Asia or Europe. Eddie and Iain also consider a dominant but dull win for Cameron Young and an equally emphatic win for Nelly Korda, while also getting into the possible demise of LIV Golf. They then round things off with Iain turning film critic and Eddie exclusively revealing that he doesn't know how to pack properly, or indeed stay around for a made cut.

Family Fortunes Apr 27, 2026

Show notes

This week Eddie is preparing for his return to Tour and joins late at night from Turkey as he, Andrew and Iain dissect a busy few days in golf. Alex Fitzpatrick has leaped on to the PGA Tour with his Zurich Classic pairs victory alongside brother Matt, who also plays golf. There is a discussion about the impressive nature of Nelly Korda's win at the Chevron and the less than impressive nature of it as a major. They also mull over the news that Lytham will return as an Open venue in a couple of years time, Jim Furyk will return as US Ryder Cup captain and Justin Rose has decided to start playing with clubs from a company that has never made clubs before.

The Craziest Guy on Tour Apr 20, 2026

Show notes

You might think that the week after The Masters would be quiet by comparison, but the wonderful world of golf just keeps on giving. Andrew, Iain and Eddie convene to talk about Matt Fitzpatrick taking down Scottie Scheffler at Hilton Head, and wonder where the Sheffield man stands in the pantheon of English golfers. There is also a good deal of LIV discussion with the future of the tour uncertain, questioning of driving distance stats, a look ahed to the women's major season and most importantly, we discover which golfer is considered the craziest on tour.

Roreflections. Apr 13, 2026

Show notes

It's time to wrap up the Masters and Rory McIlroy's epic defence, so who better to do that than his sun-cream buddy? Eddie joins Andrew and Iain to give his thoughts and we hear from the man himself in his late-night encounter with the nocturnal Badger. Eddie further questions LIV as suitable preparation for the test of The Masters and the trio all wonder if that might be the last great chance for Justin Rose.

Show notes

He's only gone and done it again... Andrew and Iain are here with immediate reaction to Rory McIlroy becoming the Masters champion once more and claiming his sixth major title. We go through the dramatic final round where so many different people at various points dreamed of the Green Jacket. We hear from Rory himself as well as Justin Rose on another near miss at Augusta and Tyrell Hatton who also came close before the Dublin 46A bus finally arrived.
