Masters SATURDAY - All To Play For. Apr 12, 2026

Show notes

As we (ok, some of us) predicted, it was never going to be a runaway win for Rory McIlroy at this year's Masters and heading into the final round several of the game's biggest names now have a chance to put on the jacket. Andrew and Iain join up at the end of round three to discuss Rory's struggles, the rise of Cam Young, the return of Scottie Scheffler and the dream that will not die for Justin Rose. We hear from McIlroy, Rose and Shane Lowry after his hole-in-one and look forward to what might be one of the greatest ever final rounds at Augusta.

Masters FRIDAY - Rory Romping Apr 11, 2026

Show notes

What a story developing at The Masters as Rory McIlroy opens the largest ever lead after 36 holes (confirmed by actual people). So exciting is it, that Eddie decides to fight off the warm, welcoming arms of Morpheus to join Andrew and discuss matters, with Iain joining after his commentary duties. That will do for a description. It's all in the pod...

Masters THURSDAY - The Defence Rests Apr 10, 2026

Show notes

The Masters is underway and we're now wondering if Rory can follow Jack, Nick and Tiger in keeping hold of the Green Jacket. Andrew and Iain come together with a short recap of the first round where not only did Rory impress, but so many big names are off to good starts, including World Number One Scottie Scheffler. Meanwhile as predicted by both Andrew and Iain, Jose-Maria Olazabal took Aldrich Potgeiter to short-game school. And then beat him up in the playground and stole his lunch.

Masters WEDNESDAY - The Fat and Happy Wolf Apr 08, 2026

Show notes

Twas the night before The Masters and Andrew and Iain convene to give their final thoughts ahead of the big show. They discuss the form of the main contenders as well as some other names to look out for. Rory McIlroy gives his thoughts, telling us he is still as hungry as ever, while our two-ball also ponder Champions Dinner choices, and find out who is the latest person to forget Andrew's name.

Faldo's Free Hat. Apr 07, 2026

Show notes

Masters week is here and Andrew and Iain are there. Eddie's not in Augusta, but he joins from Pepperell Towers to look ahead to what is always one of the greatest weeks in golf. The three of them cast their keen eyes over the main contenders, while also looking back at events of the weekend, as JJ Spaun once more denied Bob McIntyre, while Matt Wallace went close. Iain also tells us how a multiple major champion ruined his Chinese takeaway, Andrew recounts a day of pointless flights and Eddie announces that he is going to try practising at golf.

History Repeating Mar 30, 2026

Show notes

This week our three-ball get together and chat about a significant win on the DP World Tour where Alex Fitzpatrick survived the madness of DLF to complete a Fitz family double, while Gary Woodland was an emotional winner on the PGA Tour.

There is also plenty of discussion of another troubling incident for Tiger Woods, Iain talks about his tumbling handicap, Eddie takes a trip around a storm-lashed East Lothian and Andrew quotes Hull's most famous librarian.

Not Tsen Percent Mar 24, 2026

Show notes

An episode which is frankly too long, but you are of course free to split it in two, or stop listening whenever you have had enough. BUT, stick around if you want a slightly drunk Eddie after one glass of champagne to mark another top-ten finish, in Hainan, where he was steered around by an ever-smiling man called Tsen. That's as much as we know, really. Eddie gives the inside track on equipment changes and another impressive performance to take him into an enforced break as well as an enforced holiday until he can find a reasonable flight home. Or until he can get his bank card to work.

Once Eddie has left / fallen asleep, Iain joins to chat about all the other golf taking place recently - Matt Fitzpatrick bouncing back to win on the PGA Tour, Bryson Dechambeau going head to head with Jon Rahm in a raucous LIV South Africa and Iain himself playing some mixed foursomes. There is also discussion of the DP World Tour brain drain and the possibility of a Ryder Cup without Rahm. Tsen-sational.

Half a World Away Mar 17, 2026

Show notes

In this episode we find our intrepid trio separated by 9000 miles and twelve hours of time-zones with Iain in Florida, Andrew in the UK and Eddie in Hainan, having earned a late place in next week's tour event. By the wonders of technology they are all able to discuss a dramatic finish at The Players Championship where Cameron Young took the title and Matt Fitzpatrick came up just short. The three talk about the unconventional rise of Sudarshan Yellamaraju, wonder if they should be concerned about Scottie Scheffler and ask the crucial question 'Will Eddie say a word to his caddy this week?' There's also a new golfing goal for Iain and a history lesson on a 19th century Republican Senator, whether you want it or not.

BONUS - The Players and the Foursomes Mar 11, 2026

Show notes

A bonus episode to bring news ahead of The Players Championship and at the end (for Eddie and Andy Murray at least) of the Sunningdale Foursomes.

Eddie, Andrew and Iain discuss Brian Rolapp's ideas for the PGA Tour and Rory's back injury as well as Eddie's chances of a trip to China and a very honest interview from Gary Woodland on his psychological struggles.

Ramble, Big Man, Ramble. Mar 10, 2026

Show notes

With Iain somewhere en route to the Players Championship, it's up to Andrew and Eddie to hold the fort this week, which they don't technically manage to do as Andy Murray scales the walls to join in and look ahead to the Sunningdale Foursomes. There is also conversation about Eddie's performance in Johannesburg and how he can carry the solid form of his South African trip forward when he has little competitive golf coming up, except to partner with a former tennis player against the man who was once the best youth golfer in Europe. The wins for Dan Bradbury, Akshay Bhatia and Jon Rahm are also discussed, while they wonder if there should be concern about the form of Scottie Scheffler or the injury to Rory McIlroy. The answer is probably no, but serious worries remain about the number of dogs heading for Sunningdale.
