A quieter week in golf, but still plenty to reflect upon as Charley Hull returned to winning ways with her victory in Saudi Arabia and 22 players earned DP World Tour cards through the Challenge Tour rankings.
Eddie, meanwhile, is getting ready to go back to school and seems fairly relaxed about it all. Andrew and Iain are more concerned that Eddie hasn’t read any Roald Dahl.
hey do manage to mention the proposed narrowing of membership of the PGA Tour and the report that a merger between PIF and that Tour is on its way. However, they fail to discuss the fact that Wentworth had to issue a denial about rumours (passed on by Eddie last week) that the PIF might be buying the club. Instead, they find time for a chat about planned obsolescence in electric toothbrushes. Which all might mean the pod becomes obsolete very shortly...

Eddie is back with very little sleep but brings tales from the Orient, as he came close to keeping his Tour card in Korea and in the process won many friends. And isn’t that more important? Well, no... the card is more important. But he tells Andrew and Iain that it’s now all about Q-School in Spain and that his game is in good shape. He also considers how he might have done things differently this year but is focussing on the important things in life. Such as getting a set of waterproofs that mice haven’t eaten.
And anyway, his golfing concerns seem far less than Iain’s, as the regular special guest slumps to an all-time low as his handicap soars...

Eddie is reduced to a WhatsApp message this week as he has been excused pod duties so that he can fly to Korea and play some rather important golf. There, he might handle his jet-lag by listening to Iain’s robust defence of his character following remarks made on last week’s pod about handing in scores for a handicap.
With the jury deliberating, the pair move on to chat about a marathon play-off win for Julien Guerrier, talk about the efficacy or otherwise of golf psychology and reveal which golfer truly transformed the professional game in the late 90s. As well as discussing high drama in front of the senior ladies section at a Canadian Golf Club.
Best Wishes,
TCF x

Increase your productivity by 400 PER CENT by listening to this week’s episode, where Eddie recounts weekend woes in France and appalling aeroplane etiquette. The trio go on to try and explain why the appearance of anchoring in a putting stroke might not really be anchoring. There is further criticism of the handicap system as it is now and of those many golfers who abuse it - on which note there is quite the revelation from Iain. But his name is dying out, so we cut him some slack. And if all that’s not enough for you, Andrew talks about motivation in business and bored, drunk wasps.

It’s a Dunhill Links debrief this week and while Andrew and Iain skirt delicately around the issue, Eddie is quite happy to talk about life before and after the 16th hole at Kingsbarns. They also discuss Tyrell Hatton’s win - taking a huge cheque from the DP World Tour which would cover his DP World Tour fines if he should ever decide to pay them. They get into the revival of Nicolas Colsaerts, as well as wondering about poor on-course behaviour and what possible mitigation there might be. Yet there is still time for more musings on the future of the professional game, clarification on which Open course is closest to the sea and an explanation for being half-naked in Bernhard Langer’s hotel room.

This week Eddie reflects on his demi-tournament in Spain and reveals the reason why his missed cut was particularly hard to take (yet vital to restore flagging energy). The three also look back at the Presidents Cup and wonder if it needs a change in format, while asking how short does a putt have to be before it is a gimmie? They also look ahead to the Dunhill Links this week and try to uncover the mysteries of how the amateurs are paired with the professionals, while Iain confesses that his driving distance stats recently suffered a major set-back. Pod description written by Jazz Colchester III. Not a robot.

An episode recorded in the immediate afterglow of a fine tournament for Eddie, finishing just outside the top-10 at the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth and ensuring that his dogs will eat tonight. Iain and Andrew have recovered from the emotional wringer that any follower of Eddie is put through and they wonder what is the correct way to show your support for golfers who are, by and large, unhinged. They also find praise for Rory McIlroy after another near miss, wonder exactly why Billy Horschel isn’t on The American Presidents Cup team and have an encounter with a man who seems determined to ensure that the name Gary survives for years to come.

Our intrepid trio return to look back at another thrilling Solheim Cup and a potential rift within Team Europe with Iain out in Virginia USA. They talk about Rory McIlroy not quite getting over the line, again, in the Irish Open and Jon Rahm's chances of playing in the Ryder Cup next year. There's also time to relive Andrew's Speedgolf exploits, go on an AC/DC tangent, discuss golf gadgets and find out about Eddie playing the Irish Open Pro-Am with the inventor of the Yorkie bar.

An early morning recording as Iain has to get to Farnborough airport where his PJ is on stand-by to take him to Washington DC for the Solheim Cup.
All three look ahead to that match and look back at another tournament of highs and lows cancelling each other out for Eddie in Switzerland.
They also discuss whether they care about a match between PGA Tour and LIV players, or The Presidents Cup. Spoiler alert - they don’t. Backstage passes and naked snails also feature.

This week, three-quarters of one of the least successful pro-am teams in the history of golf gather to reflect on where it all went wrong at the Belfry - an episode from which only Iain has emerged with any credit. The British Masters itself also earns plenty of praise, despite the non-attendance of most of the big British names. Best event of the week award goes to the Curtis Cup where the excitement was in stark contrast to what one of our listeners describes as the 'money-orientated crapness’ of the Tour Championship and Scottie Scheffler lifting his on course earnings to somewhere approaching the GDP of Liechtenstein.
The same correspondent then asks the question ‘Do Eddie and Andrew even like golf?’ the answer to which is contained within this pod...

This week Eddie rejoins to tell us about the highs and lows of his time in Denmark, where he made more birdies than anybody else in the field and managed to get his nice new clothing on TV but still returned home frustrated and without part of his luggage.
Andrew and Iain try to get into his mind and then decide it’s probably best not to go there, so chat instead about the finish to the Women’s Open where Lydia Ko got back to major winning ways in the battle of the world number ones.
They also preview the Curtis Cup, debate whether Keegan Bradley should be a playing captain in the Ryder Cup, wonder if Scottie Scheffler has any spare money to sponsor the pod and - most importantly of all - prepare themselves psychologically for the horrors of the pro-am at the British Masters.

Andrew and Iain are at the Old Course in St Andrews for the 48th Women's Open. We hear from last year's winner Lilia Vu and the runner-up Charley Hull, as well as local hero Gemma Dryburgh and the current Solheim Cup captain for the USA and 2013 Women's Open winner Stacey Lewis.
You can watch the world feed of the Women's Open at R&A TV Thursday to Sunday. Tickets are still available through the website and Tom Grennan is playing a concert on the Saturday.

Quite a long episode as all three come together again - although ninety-three percent of this episode is taken up by Iain telling us how he made a bogey on a par-5. Squeezed into the remaining few minutes are chats about Eddie’s return to the tour, commentary puns, possible new LIV targets, rules of Danish spelling and a brief mention of various people who must really, really like wedding cake.

With the rudder of the pod, Iain, having a week of recharging, it’s left to Eddie and Andrew to float aimlessly through the week in golf and plenty of other things. Eddie is back on Tour, in Prague, and his enthusiasm for the task ahead is obvious.
Eddie then tries his hand at being Joseph to interpret a dream which Andrew has had and they both then reflect on the golf in Paris and the Olympics in general.
There is a discussion of Aaron Rai and his first PGA Tour win amidst the shenanigans of Matt Kuchar and famous people called Rusty. And, with sensationalist click-bait in mind, the two also get into a DRUG BAN, a LAWSUIT and their LATE NIGHT BATHING HABITS.

Eddie has decided to finally go on honeymoon after his second wedding, so Iain and Andrew convene in very Olympic-weary fashion to try and dissect what was a superb men’s golf tournament at Le Golf National and then reminisce about a time when both of them would have had a chance of winning Olympic gold themselves. Or at least not coming last. They consider again the essence of competition without prize-money, discuss whether caddies should get medals and Iain reveals that he recently played golf with a legendary figure from the world of entertainment

The three amigos (colleagues, really) reunite in a pod which takes rambling to new levels, ranging from an 1830s Prime Minister to Celine Dion and so many points between. Yet there is still time for plenty of serious golfing questions - does the sport belong in the Olympics? should buggies be allowed? Can Eddie offer a mild opinion without making a headline? Is LIV golf really better than Alton Towers?

Andrew and Iain welcome the return of Eddie to chew over the remains of the 2024 Open Championship and Xander Schauffele’s second major win of the year. It might not be the greatest golfing performance of the week when compared to Eddie’s 29-under for three rounds at Loch Lomond, but they still manage to rate it highly in the pantheon of Open Championship displays.
At some point in proceedings Andrew effectively NR’s from the pod recording as his mind and body shut down following three weeks of tennis and golf talking. Which doesn’t augur well for his immediate trip to the Olympics but the remaining two manage to hold it together. TCF will return properly next week, we promise.
