Chapter 1: 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.
Chapter 2: 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.

Chapter 3: 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.

Chapter 4: 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.
Chapter 5: 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.
I think the funniest exchange was I was driving up to the golf club and you know how you if you've got the your your phone sort of synced in with your car it just came up on my dashboard message from andrew cotter and i so i i hit the button so it would read out to me and it said he's got a three-footer to make the cut Wow. But that's the thing. That's the point about it. Yeah.
Saturday morning has to come back, have to birdie two of the last four to make the cut.
Chapter 6: What are the key differences between AI and traditional coaching in golf?
So minerals, as we said.
Absolute minerals. Yeah. And that was the highlight, of course. It was one of those cuts, however, on the Sunday, certainly after five holes, I was thinking this is a cut I could have done without making. And sometimes there are weeks in golf where actually that is a thing. Yeah.
If you're playing the next week, maybe.
Maybe, but if you, well, possibly, yeah, I would say that would be true. But if you were to then go and have a really terrible weekend, which at one point I certainly looked as though I was well on my way to doing, it can have pretty deleterious effects throughout many aspects of your game.
And so the next time you teared up, you don't want to be teeing up having just shot, say, 82, which was on the cards. But yeah, that being said, I did a great job yesterday of hanging in there. And I did a few different things actually on the last sort of 13, 14 holes to see
keep myself on the golf course and i should say had the clubhouse been much closer than it was i if we weren't at the furthest point away from the clubhouse then i suspect i may well have been trotting in but um i couldn't really at that point so i hung around and i suppose i got my just rewards in some sense but back to the friday or rather saturday morning to make the cut that was a clutch finish and i was quite proud of myself i supposed to have done that
Yeah, Ian and I were corresponding.

Chapter 7: What was the outcome of the US Women's Open and its significance?
Ian's car was reading my messages, probably, and I was reading my own messages. We were extolling the virtues of a cut in a tournament, as I think. We've done this before. And how much interest that... I mean, over four days of a tournament, you know, it's either a slow build. If there weren't a cut, there would be that lack of interest on the Friday.
But also it really is a part to show that if you're not having the best week or if you're not having the best season, that grafting away will get you something. It's really cruel. I mean, you miss by one.
in Austria and it looked as if you might be missing by one here then you get nothing you get nothing you get no points you get no money and your week has just been well what's it been for and so to to graft away and get that so you finish 60th in the end you keep your place in the race to Dubai at 58th you get you know pretty much your expenses paid for the week you get 6300
But isn't the cut, you might not say this as a pro golfer, but isn't the cut a wonderful thing? It just has that jeopardy in it.
Oh, I 100% agree. 110%. It's maybe one of the best things, features of professional golf, in fact, is the cut.

Chapter 8: What are the implications of live golf on the professional circuit?
And you would always rather make the cut. I was simply trying to make the point that there have been occasions in the past, certainly, where you can go on to have a bad weekend or you can be in 60th position all weekend and it can become...
you would maybe rather be at home working on your game, doing other things because it isn't ultimately those weeks that make the difference in a sport or a career like golf. Now, those 10 points that I've just earned this weekend, they could be the difference at the end of the year for me finishing 101st and 100th potentially.
But in the grand scheme of my career, those 10 points are not going to mean jack shit, quite frankly. The weeks that make the difference are the weeks where you finish first, second or third, where you could have finished second, third or fourth, you know, and it's those incremental jumps because there's obviously,
the differences are so huge there um and so that's what you always need to be striving for and i think that's historically why i found just playing a weekend of golf albeit in 50th or 60th position maybe the most frustrating part of professional golf because you don't even feel as though you're treading water um you still feel like you're drowning so uh yeah it's um but look i don't wish to paint it negatively of course um and there were all sorts of things that transpired over the
No, and if you didn't have the minerals on that Saturday morning having come back, then, you know, and you'd missed out by one, you've missed out two weeks running by a single shot, by the narrowest of margins. And then you look at your season and it says MC, MC, and you go, oh, that could be the point where he's hit the buffers. You know, I would imagine has the potential to,
to translate further whereas next time you tee it up you're you're not coming off the back of a miscut and and that is important yeah i agree and in fact what there was quite a cool distinction in the netherlands in that on the at about three holes left i walked knowing that i needed to at least be one under the final three and by the way there were three pretty tough holes
So I knew I was going to have to play well. And I was walking to the tee and I said to myself, this is like Q School all over again. This is what I was doing at the start of the year when I was having clutch finishes to finish high up in events or even get my card back. And actually, that isn't something I've been doing of late. I've been finishing tournaments in a bit of an ambulance.
And so I was... eager to nip that in the bud and to have finished therefore the way i did i was really pleased with that and i had a great t-shot off the final hole which was a tricky t-shot played the hole very well and um so so that quite specific point yeah that's what i took from last week and it was great to get back into that mindset tap into it and try and use that as more fuel i
And what about then on Sunday when you had a horrible start to the round and it was spiralling and you turned that around as well? So just on the numbers of those, if you didn't know, listeners, and everyone I'm sure does know, but a double and a triple in the first five holes. I didn't think it was even a quadruple. Sorry, double and a quadruple. Yeah.
