The Chipping Forecast

It's only in publishing this episode that we have noticed this is episode 200 of TCF. It is a) remarkable that it has lasted this long and b) it seems appropriate that this milestone marks the start of Open Championship week. Iain is at Birkdale with Andrew about to arrive and Eddie is in between trips to the local farm shop, so all of them gather to reflect on the Scottish Open, the Evian Championship and even the Isco - God bless it - before turning their attention to The Open itself. Plenty more to come this week...

An early Monday recording with Wimbledon duties for Andrew and Iain, while Eddie is still in the north of Italy, reflecting on an impressive effort in Turin where his 11th place contained a bogey-free run of 56 holes. There is discussion of the Travelers Championship - at the time of recording still to be settled between Scottie Scheffler and Viktor Hovland (spoiler alert: Hovland wins), a first-time winner of a major at the Women's PGA Championship and uninformed debate about what kind of dog Rory McIlroy would be.

It's our big US Open debrief where Andrew, Iain and Eddie pick over the bones of events at Shinnecock Hills, admiring the play of Wyndham Clark while not in any way admiring the supporters. Is this a problem according to geography or something more widespread?
There's also discussion of a near miss for Lottie Woad on the LPGA Tour as we head into major number 3 in the women's game, Iain asks if former professionals should be allowed to return to the amateur game's biggest tournaments and Eddie is preparing for his return to the tour in Italy.
