The Chipping Forecast

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 spe...

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 te...

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 clai...

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...

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 connec...

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 O...

With Andrew up a mountain in Scotland it's left to Eddie, in his Oxfordshire barn and Iain, also up a mountain - more accessibly in the Alps, to bring the latest TCF offering where there's some shocking news about not-so-uncle Tony, Iain's sneaky NR and what Andrew's main attributes would be if he was on golfing computer game. There's also ample time to discuss Anthony Kim's disastrous return to g...

This week the trio aim for brevity and a concise summing up of all matters golf and in doing so fail comprehensively. Part of this is due to a prolonged discussion about whether a strange dog walker on the Isle of Wight is related to Eddie and Iain being (falsely) accused of industrial espionage. More serious chat comes in praise for the best golfer who ever drove a Morrisons van and admiration fo...

This week Eddie is in Kenya looking to find his game and learns that he will have to do so in the company of the Godfather of Kenyan professional golf. Iain returns with tales of German stag weekends in Budapest, while Andrew admits to entering a golf tournament but is vague on the details. The trio also review the weekend in La La Land and welcome back Hideki Matsuyama and Will Zalatoris while wo...

This week the trio consider drinking, partying and generally being obnoxious. Then decide to record a pod instead. But what is going on with behaviour at golf events, or indeed, in general? The weekend’s PGA Tour event left us with much to ponder. Eddie informs us that the best result of his Middle East trip was being summoned forward by the captain on his return flight, leaving good men back in t...

Hey there Chief / Fella / My Friend… This week the miraculously award-winning podcast (thank you all) returns to discuss any number of matters loosely centred around the world of golf. Eddie has moved on to Qatar and professes to be in a happier place after his missed cut than he was with his top-20 the week before. He celebrates his good humour by buying an inappropriate laptop. The season opener...

On this week’s episode, Eddie returns to tell us the SENSATIONAL TRUTH behind what appeared to be a fairly standard top-20 place in Ras Al Khaimah. The trio also discuss Matthieu Pavon turning saliva into success on the PGA Tour, more big-name signings on the way for LIV and somebody who may well be the best driving instructor in Aberdeen.

This week Eddie has gone AWOL in the Middle-East, but we're sure he’s fine. So it’s left to Andrew and Iain to try and maintain the interest of listeners, which they decide to do by talking about chopping logs, the virtues of electric cars and songs about cheese. In addition to this they ask whether Nick Dunlap should turn pro immediately, or continue to study finance, where he could learn about v...

In the sensationalist way of the modern world, we will tell you that this week’s episode involves a CHEATING confession by a leading tour player and also how a tour player was recently involved in a failed ARSON attempt. Naturally, both of these tour players turn out to be Eddie Pepperell. Meanwhile, Eddie is jetting off to Dubai to join Iain ahead of the Desert Classic while Andrew has travelled...

Well, it’s Laurie Canter actually. And he’s very nice. And not technically a LIV golfer at the moment. Anyway, he does give us all a good insight into the attraction of LIV, while also mentioning a brief encounter with Peter Gabriel as Iain, Andrew and Eddie get into the idea of left-handed practise as well as reviewing and previewing the PGA Tour events in Hawaii. And they all come round to the i...

The Chipping Forecast returns with an EXTRAVAGANZA to start the year. And by extravaganza we mean that Andrew, Eddie and Iain spend much of the time talking about Rory McIlroy’s appearance on another podcast. They also touch upon darts, Nigella Lawson and Henrik Stenson’s golfing mouse. They also promise to improve on this episode as the year progresses. EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.co...

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 o...

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...

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 so...

In an emergency pod Andrew Iain and Eddie react to the news that Jon Rahm has left the riches of the PGA Tour for the richer riches of LIV Golf.

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 gol...

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...

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...

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...
