It's time now for the Chipping Forecast, in association with Peter Millar. Brought to you by Andrew Cotter, Eddie Pepperell, and special guest Ian Carter.
Hello there and welcome to the Chipping Forecast podcast, as Ludwig might say. Two weeks in a row, my voice opening the show. What a delight for you loyal listeners. That is because Andrew is absent this week, which means it is just myself and... Our special guest, our very special guest, BBC Golf, BBC Sport extraordinaire, the most famous badger in Britain, Ian Carter.
How are you? I don't know what to make of that. I'm all right, thank you. Yeah, just licking my wounds a little bit. I think badgers do lick their wounds because they get into scraps. Licking my wounds a little bit from the medal on Saturday. I had genuinely high hopes. It just shows you expectation is not a good thing. No. Because I am hitting the ball well. And I thought this, you know, perfect conditions early on. And I took an eight down the second. So I battled hard. I had an eight and a six on a par three. And apart from that, it was decent net 75. So I don't think Project Badger has been derailed in any way, shape or form here. Big quarterfinal coming up against Gary Minerals in a couple of weeks. So that's where we're keeping the focus.
And I imagine with the weather, Cuttington Palace is playing particularly firm and fast, is it?
Who’s guesting for Andrew and what is Project Badger’s latest update?
It's very firm and fast, yeah. The ball is just running for miles. I hit... Into the wind, a tee shot on our seventh, 280 yards. Wow. So that tells you how far it's running. It tells us all we need to know, I think. Got a nice down, hit the down slope over the bunkers that I carried.
So you didn't make it to the cinema, because obviously I went to watch The Odyssey in the week and recommended it to you, and you said you would consider it Saturday evening, but post-medal, it was never going to work.
It wasn't, and Big Steve, Sarah was away for the weekend, and Big Steve had been in... and the lure of a curry and a couple of pints and seeing our local band jump the gun in the pub, that trumped the Odyssey. But it is a big Eddie recommends.
Well, curry and a couple of pints, I think that was Odysseus' lure to get home, I think. It is definitely... I recommend, yeah. We didn't go to an IMAX, which I imagine some people listening to this will be screaming, why didn't you go and watch it in an IMAX theatre? We will at some point, but as you may know, you're struggling to get in there many times soon. So we went to a fairly local everyman theatre in Marlow. Now, I've never been to an everyman theatre. I guess you have because recently you said that you'd been eating and drinking in your seat, which of course Andrew couldn't believe. That's our cinema of choice, yeah. Oh, they're amazing. I had a glass of Whispering Angel and a box of popcorn at the sea.
The most enjoyable cinematic experience I think I've ever had. Really? Yeah, absolutely. I can see why. Sofa? Were you in a sofa? Yeah, me and Jen, we shared a double sofa. It was just so civil and enjoyable and middle class. It is very middle class.
Yeah.
The most middle class thing. One of the most middle class things I've done in the last week.
Popcorn annoys me. That's the only one that annoys me in there because there's always a bit of rustling around the cardboard.
Well, I'm very considerate and conscientious to not do it at the silent times in the film. But as you'll find out with the Odyssey when you watch it, there's so much noise. I don't think when Cyclops emerges from his cave, no one's going to be hearing your popcorn, let me tell you. But I highly recommend it. It's a brilliant, epic film. I mean, Christopher Nolan. I'm not really a film guy, although I've always loved watching Christopher Nolan films. And this has got to be top of the list. He's got to win awards for this. The most fantastic episode. Epic production, you can see. And actually, there's a brilliant program on Sky that people should watch if they've seen the film. About 20, 25 minutes long, the making of The Odyssey and the lengths that they've gone to.
