What recent achievements did Charley Hull and Nelly Korda accomplish?
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.
John Murray emails Hi Chippers we've been racking our brains in our bracknell fastness to pinpoint the moment that TCF jumped the shark when a programme with well-thought-out opinions, trenchant views and arguments leavened with a substantial side order of entertaining whimsy morphed into a strange blend of Loose Women and Last of the Summer Wine with ad breaks. Maybe it was slow. Maybe it just sort of happened. So there we are, John. John feels we've jumped the shark. Oh, do you remember Last of the Summer Wine? I think so.
How did Eddie Pepperell perform in the Netherlands tournament?
No, I never enjoyed Last of the Summer Wine, nor did I enjoy that episode of Happy Days. Yes, that lent itself to the phrase jumping the shark. Well, I remember watching it, not at the time because it was in the 70s, but I do remember watching it in the 80s before it had... Before the phrase had become a thing Or just about the same time as the phrase And I remember watching in Fonzie In sort of little Swimming shorts And still with his leather jacket on was water ski jumping over a little corralled bit that had a shark in it, in the sea. And I thought at the time, this is nonsense. But there was no phrase for it. They've gone too far. They've had their best days. And lo and behold... Overstretched themselves, tried too hard.
They've tried too hard. And there were sort of ads as well in there as well during Happy Days. I thought, I'm not going to watch this. I don't want free software ads.
I remember seeing that episode in the 70s. Is that? That's not from the John Murray, the commentator.
Yes, John Murray, the commentator, one of the nicest men around, has emailed in to say he doesn't enjoy the podcast anymore. So don't worry, we'll sort him out. No, it's from John Murray, the 18th century book publisher, published Origin of Species, etc.
What are the benefits of having a cut in golf tournaments?
and various things like that.
Yeah, no, I know John, the commentator, is a nice guy. Whereas this John sounds like a bit of a c***. So... Yeah.
Listen, he doesn't. He's got his opinion. It's possible that we have jumped the shark, but you can unjump the shark and get back to where we were. But John, I'm sorry. Sorry that you're no longer enjoying this free podcast. Let's go to an ad break.
No.
It's a bit harsh on Greg Norman, all this, isn't it? Yeah, exactly. Imagine that.
What insights were shared about JT Poston's recent win at the Memorial?
Imagine it was Greg Norman just in the water and you had to water ski jump over him. There'd be lots of people going, oh, I just didn't quite have the speed there, Greg, so I'd hit you in the head. Anyway, how are we both? How are you, Eddie, after your... How is the Netherlands? I mean, that weather, that course, that combo.
Yeah, I'm... I'm feeling better than last week, and I think I should issue an apology to the listener, actually, including John. I was a bit miserable and grumpy last week. I think that came across during the recording and listening back. So apologies there. I'm feeling in higher spirits today, even in spite of the fact that I should be more tired because, as you say or allude to, it was a challenging week on many fronts. a number of early alarms which really started to take their toll. But, yeah, no, other than that, it was a fairly enjoyable week, really. If you were to ask me what part I enjoyed, I would struggle to tell you. But I think it was a relatively enjoyable week.
How did Andy Murray fare in his club championship?
Well, I mean, we'll get into it in some detail imminently. What we're going to do is, I mean, Ian and I were up late watching the US Women's Open. Not together, that would be weird. But we were both in various places watching. Because it's California, it was... 8 hour difference so it was a bit late that finish but it was worth staying up for so we'll get into that but what we're going to do is we're going to get into that a little bit later on so that's something to stick around for because we always like to start with Eddie's week. I mean never a dull moment was it Ian? We were shot tracking our little hearts away.
