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…

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 you…

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 …

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 …

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, …

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…

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 pe…

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 the…

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…

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…

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 Champ…

Iain and Andrew begin the biggest week in golf with the best seat in the house, chatting in the stand on the first tee of the Old Course at Royal Troon with the isle of Arran rising up out of the Firth of Clyde and security guards being savaged by miniature schnauzers on the beach. They review a dramatic and popular win for Bob MacIntyre at The Sco…

This week Eddie is on a break, so Andrew turns up at Iain’s house on the way into Wimbledon to chat. But since both have been covering tennis - with Iain also deciding to throw in a Killers concert - they are less informed than usual and instead end up talking about TV theme tunes of the 70s and 80s. However, they also hear from a qualifier for the…

This week, Andrew and Iain have a part of their small minds turned towards tennis as Wimbledon gets underway, but they still find time before going courtside to join up with Eddie and examine all matters golf. Eddie explains how his affection for the game is being sorely tested at the moment, but explains that he still has plenty of desire to turn …

Lots to talk about this week as Andrew, Iain and Eddie meander through sport, politics and protest in a delicate and sensitive way. Eddie clarifies his remarks about Rory McIlroy’s caddy choice and explains why he himself has decided to start afresh on that front as well as employing a new coach to build upon a four place improvement in the Race to…

In an episode where energy levels were in direct contrast to the adrenalin-fuelled events at Pinehurst, Andrew, Eddie and (eventually) Iain come together to discuss one of the most dramatic US Opens in memory as Bryson DeChambeau took his second major and Rory McIlroy saw another one slip away with a finish that may well haunt him. They discuss how…

It’s the halfway point of the US Open and unofficial mascot of TCF, Ludvig Åberg, is out in front as Andrew and Iain convene to chat about all the goings-on at Pinehurst. They wonder if the Swede will win his first major or ask if Bryson Dechambeau can thrill his growing multitude of fans. They then pick through all the other big names - of which t…

On the eve of the eve of the US Open Andrew and Iain assemble to preview the tournament - Iain from the media centre at Pinehurst with its Premier Inn levels of wifi and Andrew from the UK where he is mildly hypothermic. They assess the course and a few of the likely contenders and Iain also exclusively reveals what he’s planning to have for dinner…

At the start of US Open week, Iain is on his way to Pinehurst, so Andrew and Eddie are joined by the man who has just won on the DP World Tour for the first time, Laurie Canter. We hear about his victory in Germany and what his plans are now with regards to LIV and he also shares his enormous regret at the one trophy which always eluded him. The tr…

New Zealand’s seventh-favourite golf podcast gathers again to look back on a big week in the sport as Bob MacIntyre wins the ultimate father-son tournament in the Canadian Open, friend-of-the-pod (but not Andrew) Laurie Canter has a debut victory on the European Tour and Yuka Saso collects her second major title, winning the US Open after turning J…

After a weekend when golf matters were put in true perspective, the three nevertheless discuss the goings on in the game from the very trivial to to the slightly more serious. They assess Eddie’s recent performance in Belgium and he rejects the idea that his form would improve if he were to retire from podcasting. Iain reveals that he finds himself…

Pods come thick and fast as Eddie joins Andrew to chat about the recent USPGA and much else besides. Eddie gives his thoughts on the two sides of Bryson DeChambeau and wonders how many more majors Xander Schauffele might now win. There is excitement about Eddie’s burgeoning career as a golf tipping guru, but most of all he's excited to be getting b…

A bonus recording immediately after the final putt had dropped at Valhalla in one of the best finishes to a major championship in recent years.

Visit podcastchoices.…

It’s the start of PGA week, although not the very start since Iain was flying on Monday and Eddie was taking advantage of a very generous offer of golf at Walton Heath at a perfectly respectable tee-time. So it is a slightly delayed pod which the trio make up for by wondering if Rory McIlroy’s victory at Quail Hollow installs him as favourite for t…

Caffeine intake is high for an early morning recording as Iain has to get away sharpish in his bid to take down one of the Alphas of the club. In this episode the trio pay tribute to Peter Oosterhuis and then try to answer some of the pressing questions in the game, such as: Could golf benefit from the return of a third round cut? Will Kris Kim get…

Eddie returns with an explanation for his WD as his trip to Japan proved to be no more than a long way to go for some physio. The trio then discuss the incredible atmosphere / godawful behaviour (delete as appropriate) at LIV Adelaide as well as reflecting on a win for Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry as they teamed up to take the title in New Orleans.…

This week the trio are once more spread across the globe, although in Japan jet lag has broken Eddie to the point where he has wisely chosen sleep ahead of recording the podcast. So it’s left to Iain in Texas and Andrew - not in Texas - to discuss the two currently unstoppable figures of Nelly Korda and Scottie Scheffler, with the former winning he…

The Masters is done and Scottie Scheffler gets to put on the green jacket again. All three of our podcasters convene - eventually, with Andrew having broken in to Iain’s Augusta rental house - to discuss the dominance of the World Number One. They mull over a final round, where all of his challengers faltered at various points - in the end TCF’s ow…

Iain rejoins Andrew as the pair ruminate on round three and what might unfold on Masters Sunday. Saturday saw Scottie Scheffler wobbling before recovering, Collin Morikawa returning to the form of old and Ludvig Åberg challenging on his major debut. Andrew jinxes any British player on the final hole, but we do hear from Tommy Fleetwood and Iain tel…

Eddie’s back to share his thoughts with Andrew as one of the longest and windiest days in Masters history finally draws to a close. Scottie Scheffler is again impressive, Rory is again frustrated and several debutants show that experience is overrated. Discount code on wind chimes available. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.co…

Round One of the Masters is almost done as some stormy weather meant not all golfers completed their rounds, however, Andrew and Iain convened at the hooter to dissect an intriguing day's play. We hear from former champion Danny Willett after his improbable -4 score having been out for 6 months and the BBC's John Murray makes a fleeting appearance …

It’s the eve of Masters Eve and Andrew joins Iain in his BBC house, with the alternative being a three-hour journey to Andrew’s Airbnb. The two contemplate Rory McIlroy’s attempts to do very little talking in the build-up and a press conference which might as well have had the clock from Countdown going off on the ten minute mark. They consider the…

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…

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 t…

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…

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 n…

This week our knowledge of time zones is sorely tested with Iain in Florida, Andrew in the UK and Eddie in Singapore.

And that’s about it - yet still they somehow manage to sp…

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 Mat…

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 ti…

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 golfe…

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…

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 captai…

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…

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. EXCLUSIV…

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 conti…

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…
