    Après-Golf

    Iain's skiing, Eddie's sleeping and I'm editing after midnight. So I have little else to say except that this episode is about golf and other things. And for some reason a lot of Theragun as well.

    Drinking with Baboons

    This week, Eddie is fighting fatigue after returning from Kenya and is also tired from grappling with golfing demons. We hear where he is with his game, what's next for him and how he did at least manage to buy the friendship of wildlife. The three discuss the win for Brian Campbell on the PGA Tour, talk about one of the best swings in the game and hear from Europe's new Ryder Cup captain Anna Nordqvist. They also discuss drinking while playing golf, but decide that it is neither big nor clever.

    The Return of Top Ten Jen

    This week Eddie reflects upon his 6th-place finish in his first Challenge Tour event in eight years and talks about much he enjoyed the week in South Africa, while gossip abounds that he may be having a relationship with his caddy. Andrew and Iain both congratulate Eddie on his decent result by telling him how little money it was actually worth. The three also discuss Ludvig Åberg's impressive win at Torrey Pines, a life-changing performance for Annabell Fuller and how much impact the increase in available Hammers will have on TGL and possibly the entire world.

    Are You a Parakeet or a Pigeon?
    On the pod this week - tales of poor golf in Qatar, great tour guides in Berlin and world class parking in Edinburgh. Also discussed: LIV golf on free TV in the UK, Thomas Detry's victory on the PGA Tour and Eddie in South Africa to see George - both Coetzee and the city - ahead of his appearance on the Challenge Tour. Lots of other stuff as well, but I've been editing this for some time now....

    Rory and Laurie win, Moles lose

    This week Eddie is back on Tour and preparing for his return to competitive golf by burning his forehead in Qatar. But before contemplating his own form, Eddie and the other two less talented golfers are able to reflect on a weekend of popular victories with the very tall Laurie Canter moving close to the top-50 in the world after victory in Bahrain and Rory McIlroy closing in on Scottie Scheffler at the very top of the rankings with his dominant display at Pebble Beach.

    There’s plenty more besides, including Andrew detailing his short career as a motivational speaker and Iain telling us how he came to play for Leicestershire.

    EP102: Out in the Wilderness

    This week is a special episode as Andrew, Eddie and Iain decide to head off on their own into the podcasting world, possibly never to be seen again. But while they are still with us they take time to talk about Eddie’s illness, Iain’s birthday drinking games and Andrew’s new desk. In more golf-related matters, they discuss the latest first-time winner on the DP World Tour and have a look Stateside where Harris English came through from a weak field at Torrey Pines and something happened in the TGL which was possibly exciting but, more likely, not.


    There is also time to consider commentators calling out slow play and a YouTuber who has signed up to spread the word of LIV golf in a move which may end up being more significant than the signing of Tour players.

    EP101: Play Better

    This week Andrew, Eddie and Iain talk Tyrell again as Hatton wins in Dubai and once more shows that he is both brilliant and belligerent on the golf course.


    Eddie would love to be either of those things, but getting invitations into forthcoming events is proving difficult. This leads to a discussion about who gets priority in terms of entries into tournaments - with the answer demonstrating exactly where the power lies in the game now. Although Eddie freely admits that the way around all such issues is simply to play better.


    The three also have a chat about friend of the pod Laurie Canter and his rise up the rankings, they continue to wonder what the point of TGL is, discuss the tiny country producing great talents and receive new information about the top golf course sledging destinations.


    This episode is sponsored by Laurie Canter - women want him, men want to be him.

    EP100: Sledging at Amen Corner

    The Chipping Forecast is 100 episodes old and our intrepid trio celebrate by mulling over the most important issues in the game of golf - will TGL succeed? Why is Tom McKibbin heading to LIV? If it snowed at Augusta how far could you make it down the 10th fairway on a sledge? We also wonder if Eddie has started his hypnotherapy yet and when he might hear about his next tournament. And Prince William is revealed to be an avid listener. Possibly.

    EP96: Biggler than McIlroy

    EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/chipping - Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee!


    The Chipping Forecast returns after a Festive Season break and our three-ball throw themselves into their new year of golf with all the enthusiasm of people who are suffering intensely from the January blues.


    One of the main topics of discussion is Barry Hearn’s claims for how big darts can be, as well as his opinion that Luke Littler can have a similar effect to Tiger Woods and his general wonderment at the money in golf when he feels that nobody’s really watching it. Andrew then makes an equally bold claim about Luke Littler without much evidence to back it up.


    The three go on to discuss TGL, Hideki going low in Kapalua, the positive side of golfing YouTubers and Eddie’s hopes for a good response on tournament invitations. And the podcast also retires undefeated from the awards game.


    This episode is sponsored by Disney Plus.

    EP95: The Show Must Go On

    EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/chipping - Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee!


    A much-anticipated episode as Eddie returns from Mauritius where, Icarus-like, he flew too close to the sun and fell. But unlike Icarus he was at least given 28,000 Euros for his 9th-place finish rather than drowning in the sea. We hear the inside story on the whole week and why he thinks he’ll be better for it and why he also thinks it was more emotionally draining for Top Ten Jen.


    Also on the pod Eddie has a bold prediction for Charlie Woods, the verdict is in on 'The Showdown’ which is not entirely positive and the trio pick their favourite moments from 2025.


    Have a Shakin’ Stevens Christmas and see you in 2025.

    EP94: Bernhard Langer and The Wurzels

    EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/chipping - Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee!


    This week Eddie is expanding his travel horizons and joins late-night from Mauritius to talk us through his twelve shot difference between rounds in South Africa. He also shares how important it is to have a loved one on the bag when things are going wrong. And also how important it is to have shoes that don’t melt.


    Less importantly, Iain appears to be hitting a rich vein of golfing consistency, while Andrew's golf is equally consistent as he still isn’t able to play at all.


    Also discussed this week is mixed golf, LIV golf and golf at the extremes of the UK. As well as 1970s novelty chart acts and whether Andrew can overcome his mild agoraphobia to go to a concert this weekend
