Andrew and Iain a recording a bonus episode next to the short game practice area at Royal Hoylake ahead of the 151st Open Championship where they preview the tournament and pick up on some of the biggest stories in and around the course and clubhouse. Why didn't McIlroy do yet another press conference, the new 17th hole, who's short game is looking on form and crucially if Iain managed to find somewhere local for a haircut! We also hear from world number 3 Jon Rahm, who wants to emulate countryman Carlos Alcaraz's Wimbledon achievement on Sunday, reigning Open champ Cam Smith who's hoping to catch up on the Ashes throughout the weekend and local pro Matt Jordan who has the honour of taking the very first shot of the tournament.

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 rain, the late-career flourishing of Richard Bland and look forward to the US Women’s Open.

EP59: IAIN QUALIFIES FOR (media accreditation at) THE OPEN!!

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 in his young life.

PGA BONUS: Xander The Great

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 first-born two surnames?
The trio also go into the history of the US PGA and the many honours of an often-forgotten British great of the game. Meanwhile lots of people tell us that their golf club does very good coffee, about which Eddie remains very sceptical indeed.

And we are happy to offer a correction here, that Graham Carruthers scored 113 at Clitheroe. Not 116.

EP56: Celebrants of the PGA

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? 
What sort of name is Crew? Or Fennel? 
Why do they not remember Eddie at Walton Heath?
