The Chipping Forecast

Kim, Collin and Karen

Reasons to be cheerful this week. Not - you will be unsurprised to hear - from Andrew, but from Eddie who, despite a tough final round on the greens of Fancourt is bullish about his form. The two of them discuss that, as well as an incredible performance from Anthony Kim providing LIV, for all their millions spent, with their greatest story. There is also mention of Collin Morikawa getting back to winning ways at Pebble Beach and Charley Hull making house alterations after her triumph in Saudi Arabia. Then Andrew takes a lemsip-inspired deep dive into the the rich history of Karen Country Club, where Eddie is among those playing in this week's Magical Kenya Open.Visit: www.petermillar.co.ukPing Prodi G clubs at: www.ping.comEmail: tcf@thechippingforecast.co.ukInstagram: @chippingforecast Hosted on Acast.

Reed it and Weep.

Still just a two-ball this week where Eddie reflects - in a surprisingly positive way - about his MC in the Qatar Masters and he and Andrew both wax lyrical about the golfing talents of Patrick Reed who, having defected from the Saudi Arabian collective, simply romps around the rest of the Middle-East. With Eddie travelling all day on Monday it was a Sunday recording of the pod, so it's left to Andrew and Mabel (sorry Richard) to chat about Chris Gøtterup's latest win, in Phoenix. There is also mention for the biggest prize of the week going to one of the youngest players - Elvis Smylie won the LIV opener in Riyadh in front of a crowd approximately the same size as the audience annoying Eddie in a Doha cinema.Visit: www.petermillar.co.ukPing WebFit at www.ping.comEmail (all views welcome): tcf@thechippingforecast.co.ukInstagram: @chippingforecast Hosted on Acast.

Frazzled, Fried and a Bit Lost

This week Eddie has arrived in Qatar ahead of his return to the tour and Andrew has arrived in some sort of work purgatory. However, both still find the time, if not the energy, for a paean of praise to Justin Rose following his dominant win at Torrey Pines. They also wonder if Patrick Reed might win another major after his departure from LIV and question the decision to curtail a tournament on the LPGA Tour.Brought to you by: www.petermillar.co.ukVisit: www.ping.comEmail: tcf@thechippingforecast.co.ukInstagram: @chippingforecast Hosted on Acast.

Not Yet Better Than Sergio.

Fresh from a top 5.....0 place in Dubai, Eddie has to first of all explain his broken wedge and grazed knuckles, but then he and Andrew pick over a result that still shows plenty of encouragement for the year ahead. Meanwhile they run out of things to say in admiration for Scottie Scheffler after he returns to golf and gets straight back to winning ways. They run out of things to say in general if we're honest, but there is consideration for Eddie starting a TGL golf team and an acknowledgement that Laurie Canter will not be signed up by a Saudi Arabian darts league.Brought to you by: www.petermillar.co.ukAnd: www.ping.comEmail: tcf@thechippingforecast.co.ukInstagram: @chippingforecastWatch Eddie's final round in Dubai: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFGWbbDYpwI Hosted on Acast.

One Down, Two to Go.

And thus, the Carter-less weeks begin. With Iain on his travels, Andrew and Eddie are left to stumble forward like Bill Oddie and Tim Brooke-Taylor without Graeme Garden, but fortunately there is plenty to talk about - Eddie is now preparing to start his 2026 golfing year at the Dubai Desert Classic and has a new caddie into the bargain. There are changes on LIV with exciting new names and players, Marco Penge has new clubs, Scottie Scheffler is coming out of hibernation and Andrew has misplaced a Wellington.www.petermillar.co.ukFor the new Ping G440 K driver, visit ping.comEmail: tcf@thechippingforecast.co.ukInstagram: @chippingforecast Hosted on Acast.
