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 then reflect on the golf in Paris and the Olympics in general.

There is a discussion of Aaron Rai and his first PGA Tour win amidst the shenanigans of Matt Kuchar and famous people called Rusty. And, with sensationalist click-bait in mind, the two also get into a DRUG BAN, a LAWSUIT and their LATE NIGHT BATHING HABITS.

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 consider again the essence of competition without prize-money, discuss whether caddies should get medals and Iain reveals that he recently played golf with a legendary figure from the world of entertainment

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 headline? Is LIV golf really better than Alton Towers?

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 Championship displays.

At some point in proceedings Andrew effectively NR’s from the pod recording as his mind and body shut down following three weeks of tennis and golf talking. Which doesn’t augur well for his immediate trip to the Olympics but the remaining two manage to hold it together. TCF will return properly next week, we promise.

Iain and Andrew are right at the heart of the 152nd Open Championship at Troon right next to the practice putting green to record TCF's preview show with the R&A. The two look ahead to the grandest tournament in golf and hear from former Open champions Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, US Open winner Bryson DeChambeau and last week's Scottish Open winner Bob MacIntyre. Oh and Laurie Canter gate crashes mid-pod too.

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 Scottish Open, as well as a flying finish at the Evian Championship. We hear from Brian Harman immediately after he has returned the Claret Jug and also Ludvig Åberg, with the pair wondering if the Swede has an issue with finishing the job in final rounds. Andrew also wonders how often his mother is going to go out of her way to publicly humiliate him during the week. More to come on Wednesday...

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 Open Championship and his major-winning mother about what it means to play at Troon and find plenty of time to discuss why iron covers are seen as the work of the devil.
