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 thrilling denouement to the episode Andrew talks about how he wants to record some local birdsong and then doesn’t actually do it.

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 out if it was indeed her dad who stalked Eddie from the trees at the Sunningdale Foursomes.

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. And his heavily implied regret that he never had the chance to manage Eddie Pepperell.

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 products online.

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 true shirt size.

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.

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 hear from England's Bronte Law as she returns to winning ways.

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 golfer who ever drove a Morrisons van and admiration for the game and the guns of Jake Knapp. Plus some other stuff. There’s a lot in there.
