A much-anticipated episode as Eddie returns from Mauritius where, Icarus-like, he flew too close to the sun and fell. But unlike Icarus he was at least given 28,000 Euros for his 9th-place finish rather than drowning in the sea. We hear the inside story on the whole week and why he thinks he’ll be better for it and why he also thinks it was more emotionally draining for Top Ten Jen.

Also on the pod Eddie has a bold prediction for Charlie Woods, the verdict is in on 'The Showdown’ which is not entirely positive and the trio pick their favourite moments from 2025.

Have a Shakin’ Stevens Christmas and see you in 2025.

This week Eddie is expanding his travel horizons and joins late-night from Mauritius to talk us through his twelve shot difference between rounds in South Africa. He also shares how important it is to have a loved one on the bag when things are going wrong. And also how important it is to have shoes that don’t melt.

Less importantly, Iain appears to be hitting a rich vein of golfing consistency, while Andrew's golf is equally consistent as he still isn’t able to play at all.

Also discussed this week is mixed golf, LIV golf and golf at the extremes of the UK. As well as 1970s novelty chart acts and whether Andrew can overcome his mild agoraphobia to go to a concert this weekend

This week our trio pan both hemispheres as Andrew and Iain brave the cold of the UK andEddie is in baking South Africa ahead of the Alfred Dunhill Championship at Leopard Creek Country Club.

They discuss Adrián Otaegui's switch from Spain to the UAE and whether or not he can still appear in the Ryder Cup for Europe, and, Eddie reveals we may all get a sighting of the lesser spotted Pepperell in shorts on the course this week.

As all of this is going on Eddie, the self-confessed storm lover, is stranded in his lodge and misses out on a spectacular thunder and lightning show as Andrew and Iain debate whether or not fatherhood will enhance Justin Thomas' upcoming season. Eddie also tells of an unlikely but welcome money-saving scheme that could bring good fortune over the next two weeks.

The trio set a record this week for the amount of time it takes them to get round to talking about actual golf, but once there, they go into some detail on The Australian Open and its champion Ryggs Johnston.

They also have an update on Eddie’s playing schedule, Andrew’s health and the weekend performance of ‘The Closer’.

They also each manage to attempt some reasonably inaccurate accents and wonder if they can apply for the job of commissioner of the PGA Tour.

This week, Andrew shows all the ill-effects of a man who spent the weekend hunting down receipts for toner cartridges, so Eddie introduces an episode in which they talk about possible Friend of the Pod Elvis Smylie winning the Australian PGA and, more importantly, hear from the man himself.

They also recap a storming finish on the LPGA Tour, as well as a winner on the PGA Tour who comes from a family named after cars. Meanwhile each member of the trio is asked to offer their worst display of temper on a golf course.

It’s good to talk, as they say. With that in mind Andrew and Iain invite Eddie to share his thoughts on all that went on during an extraordinary week at Q-School in Spain and where it leaves him now and going forward. And they wonder whether he will ever be reunited with one of his most important clubs.

In this extra-long pod, to try and make amends for not delivering an episode last week, the trio go on to discuss Rory McIlroy’s consistent excellence, Tyrell Hatton’s consistent petulance and Carlota Ciganda’s consistent intransigence.

There are further thoughts on Nelly Korda, induced labour, Andy Murray’s golf swing and what the name is for the gadget-thing that tells you stuff.

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.
