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, welcome to the Chipping Forecast. Once again, it is hot, hot, hot, hot, hot. But what an entertaining few days to talk about on the course and off it.
What interesting experiences did Eddie share about his recent golf tournament in Belgium?
And we're here to just chat a bit at all, back and forth. Eddie Pepperell is back from Belgium, the new content king. How are you, Eddie?
Good morning. I'm not too bad. Thank you, Andrew. Got back late last night? Got back fairly late and had probably a glass too many of champagne. I was given a bottle of champagne in the end by the promoter for my hole-in-one after joking to him that I hadn't received anything as a prize. So I think he felt bad about that. So I had a glass of champagne when I got back. I actually had two or three in the end. And then didn't sleep brilliantly because of the heat. So I'm suffering a little bit. But how are you? You look like you've just come straight from the gym dressed like that.
It's not good, David. No, we'll bring Ian in. Oh, actually, Ian Carter knows champagne recently. Eddie was like Sen saying to Eddie, I didn't get my bonus. So you ask and you receive. You didn't have to ask. You received an award. You're the award winning regular special guest. I mean, not just you. Not just me, by no means just me. But sorry, my voice is really deep today. I think I picked up a cold on the flight home or something. But yes, so we got the award from the Audio Academy for Sport for our Ryder Cup coverage on BBC Five Live. Yeah, it was really nice, actually. Lovely to, I mean, you spend most of your time not winning awards and saying, well, awards, they're rubbish, aren't they? But then actually when you win one, you think, that's really nice.
And so really thrilled for the team. Did you do the speech? I did do the speech, yeah. Step back, everyone. I just did it very quickly. I just thanked a few people and that was it. You're telling a story about par five. The interviewer didn't seem, this is obviously the interview afterwards, he didn't seem entirely clued up in things. He said, Ryder Cup, that's golf, right? No, he just said, it's the Ryder Cup, right?
Did you get the smash bag out on stage while collecting the award?
See, this is what I'm working on. Everybody, come back.
How did Eddie's hole-in-one impact his experience at the tournament?
This is what I'm working on. Stop. Bathroom break. The smash bag's in the naughty corner at the moment because I smashed it too hard. And so I've been playing golf with a compression thing on my elbow as a result of the pain that's been inflicted by the smash bag. Yeah, there we are. Thanks, Ollie. Thanks for that. Thanks for your lesson. Thanks for your help. I now have tendonitis in my wrist. Yeah, doing a lot of putting work now. Okay, yeah. Good, okay. You've told us there might be a little bit of coming and going in the background in Carter Towers, as we find. Yes, yeah, there will be. My brother's here already with his wife. His daughters are arriving. We've got a nice late May bank holiday barbecue. today because our son Ollie is going away to Australia for a couple of years, uh, next month.
So it's kind of, we're into all these sort of farewell parties. So the whole family's coming today and some friends. And, um, Sarah said, uh, I said, what time's the barbecue starting? She said, about noon. Noon? Yeah. It's about lunch. It's an all-day affair. And then, so when we did the WhatsApp group for this pod, and I said, oh, guys, because Eddie had made the cut, so I thought, right, it's safe now. I always try and, you know, time when I put messages in, especially when Eddie's playing. So on Friday night, I said... Any idea when he wants to do the pod? Earlier the better for me on Monday. Andrew came back and went, it's midday, okay? And me, with having such giant cojones, said, yeah, that's fine.
And then that didn't go down well. But fortunately, you've spirited us forward by an hour and a half, so that's good. Yeah, we're recording on bank holiday Monday morning. Andrew, as we've come forward an hour and a half, does that mean the book is finished?
