There is also time for a discussion on the new tactics of the DP World Tour, getting tougher with LIV, as well as consideration of the important question: 'if Eddie were a football team, which one would he be?'Episode brought to you by: www.petermillar.co.ukAnd by: www.ping.comChipping Forecast Substack: https://thechippingforecast.substack.comInstagram: @chippingforecastEmail: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Three men in three countries and plenty of rambling this week as Andrew, Eddie and Iain convene to discuss events at the Presidents Cup, where the USA won by their now habitual method of storming the singles. They look back on the French Open where Matt Fitzpatrick continued his impressive year and Eddie gives us an update on his injury, preparing for one of his favourite events of the year as the clock ticks on his season. Andrew then decides to tell a story of intrigue, oil money and the SAS - all wrapped up in a golf course where nobody but Henrik Stenson occasionally plays.

The trio gather this week in something of a torpor, induced either by long waking hours or by tranquilisers. There is an update on Eddie's withdrawal from the Irish Open and subsequent treatment, before the mood is lightened by reflections on Europe's victory in the Solheim Cup. There is also discussion of the two different sides of Shane Lowry on display as he romped to a record win at Doonbeg. To give some much needed energy to proceedings, Iain tells a story about a queue.Brought to you by: www.petermillar.co.ukAnd by: www.ping.comChipping Forecast on Substack: https://substack.com/@thechippingforecastOn Instagram: @chippingforecastAnd email us: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Andrew is still hunting for a wayward drive somewhere, so Iain and Eddie once again hold the fort and bid farewell to major golf for the year with a round-up of The AIG Women's Open. There's plenty of discussion of the dramatic finish as Esther Henseleit holed a monster putt to take it into a play-off, then saw a cruel human ricochet end her hopes with Shiho Kuwaki keeping the title in Japanese hands. There are reflections on the performances of Lottie Woad and Charley Hull, while offering thoughts on Charley's caddy prank, before both Eddie and Iain then realise they are in no position to criticise.There is then discussion of the Solheim Cup as Europe's captain Anna Nordqvist finalises her team, a review of The Rocket Classic on the PGA Tour as another young gun gets firing and Eddie contemplates his own return to competitive golf.Brought to you by: www.petermillar.co.ukAnd: www.ping.comEmail: [email protected]: @chippingforecast Hosted on Acast.
