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 Dubai Rankings. They praise a new major winner in the women’s game and Scottie Scheffler’s latest triumph while considering whether dull golf is...

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 good DeChambeau now is for the game of golf and whether his standing might even lead to the PGA Tour and LIV coming closer together. As for Rory -...

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 there are many - on the leaderboard and hear from Rory McIlroy after his second round and also talk Tiger as he potentially nears the end of his...

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. On a more golf relevant note, they hear from the man who beat Tiger at his best and, as they record the pod, the news arrives that Jon Rahm has...

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 trio also consider the dramatic collapse of Sebastian Söderberg in the final round in Sweden and ask if anybody, bar a Kentucky traffic cop, can stop...

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 Japanese. Also in this episode Eddie explains his lost weekend at the Green Eagle, Andrew tries to do an impression of a drone and all three wonder...

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 unable to cope with pressure on a golf course and Andrew confesses to the shortest round of golf in history. They also discuss playing in the...

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 back out into the swing of regular tour golf - admitting to just how little real golf he has played of late. And to how much chocolate he has eaten...

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. Andrew and Iain pick over the four days that finally made Xander Schauffele a major winner, pushed all the way by Bryson Dechambeau and Viktor Hovland Learn more about your ad choices.

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 the second men’s major of the year. Or will Koepka bring his big-stage game to the fore again? And will Scheffler be rusty after giving his...

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 his handicap cut after his efforts on the PGA Tour? How is Kenneth Kendall connected to golf? Is Brooks Koepka now the favourite for the PGA?...

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. The trio then becomes a quartet as Dominic Holland joins to discuss his updated golf novel 'Open Links’ as well as his own love for the game...

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 her second major at the Chevron and the latter the delayed Heritage at Hilton Head. They also manage to find time to consider the pros and cons of...

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 own Ludvig Oh-berry taking second place in his first major championship and Tommy Fleetwood one place further back for his best Masters finish. There...

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 tells us of an exotic foodstuff he has discovered and wants to share it with the world. It’s not a Terry’s Chocolate Orange. Learn more about your ad...

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.

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 too. And much to Iain's delight there's finally a discount code for TCF listeners for his book, it's out now, apparently. Golf Wars by Iain Carter...

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 offerings from the other major contenders while Iain then becomes unnecessarily concerned about his pronunciation of the word ‘Masters’. In a...

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 speak to the new Augusta National Women's Amateur Champion, Farnham's very own Lottie Woad and find...

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 tells us what it was like to steer the careers of such luminaries as Tiger Woods and Greg Norman....

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 claim to a record breaking clubhouse and that Andrew has an obvious naivety when it comes to ordering...

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 also reveal the best value course in the UK, as chosen by you, the lovely and loyal...

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 connection between Singapore and Canada, the difference between big cat species in heraldry and Eddie’s...

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 Oli reveals his secret to hitting the ball further - not to be missed. Email the pod here -...

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 golf, Thomas Detry's six-putt meltdown, Eddie's return to blogging causing a tabloid stir and we...
