Summary

We are reduced to only two members of the TCF team and - whoever they may be - are left to discuss all the usual goings on in this crazy game we call golf. Scottie Scheffler's won a tournament, which is nice, and we wonder which will earn him more money this season - the prize money or the bonuses? And why do you need both?

A more pertinent debate comes with discussing who might fill the two realistic places available for Europe's Ryder Cup team. Is Harry Hall in the frame to become the first Cornishman to play in the match? Will Marco Penge's late run be enough or are DP World Tour events just too minor? Is the late Dame Thora Hird a decent outside bet?

There is also plenty of chat about LIV Golf; Jon Rahm takes the season bonus despite not winning a tournament, while one of Europe's finest ever golfers is left to contemplate sailing off into the sunset.

It's time now for the chipping forecast, in association with Peter Millar, brought66, recurring percent of the usual staff are here.

0:38.3

Which two out of three asks the listener before making their decision on whether to carry on listening or perhaps give Bradley Dredgey's new podcast to go, he doesn't have one.

0:48.8

I don't know what I said that.

0:50.1

I'm sure it would be quite good actually.

0:51.8

Bradley, Bradley's got some stories to tell.

0:54.6

Anyway,

0:59.0

you heard a chuckle, and it was Eddie Pepperell's chuckle. Ian's not here. Ian has,

1:04.6

Ian's extended his holiday. He's gone, I don't know, paintballing with H from steps or something.

1:08.7

So, but Eddie Pepperl is here. How are you, Eddie?

2:01.9

Very well, thanks. I think I'm the younger Bradley Dredge in many respects. I always admired Bradley. He used to go and stay in nice hotels, drink fine wine, didn't have any children. He lived a good life, I always thought. Had a good lifestyle balance. Didn't play a lot of golf, very fit and strong, just like myself, good sense of humor. I always love, it was one of my favourite players, Pradley, Dredge. I may have said that before. So if he has got a new podcast, and of course he hasn't, but if he did have one, then I would listen. Yeah. Yeah. Bradley Dredge and Stephen Dodd hosting a podcast, Dredgy and Doddy. Yeah. Yeah. Good. But anyway, no, Ian's not here. He'll be back next week. I don't know what he's doing. He's off. He's gallivanting somewhere. We tried to get another special guest on. Well, I tried to get another special guest on. Very special guest on to replace Ian in TTJ. Flat refusal. I mean, the refusal came so quickly.

2:05.6

This is like, I think, trying to get an interview with Tiger in the early 2000s,

2:07.6

and he just wouldn't get past Mark Steinberg.

2:10.1

So TTJ just, no.

2:12.3

She's got stories to tell, though. Many, but I don't know that she's a confident enough speaker,

2:15.7

and she said that you frighten her. So she, no, I'm only joking. She didn't say that. Well, she did, but not like that. But no, she maybe one day, I think, when she's plucked up the confidence, the courage. And, yeah, I think she was also possibly worried that she would have been asked questions about me hurting myself on a golf course and then have to explain her feelings towards that and she

2:37.4

would have cried got quite emotional and it would have been great for the podcast but

2:40.4

that's so good i don't think for jen to expose herself in that way hashtag content that's what

2:46.1

you just have to tell her that's i know i totally understand that that's not i mean it's it's

2:50.3

recorded podcasts i would never put anybody under that pressure. But of course it would be very interesting, but of course it might have been a little bit uncomfortable. We had some, um, can you hear that by the way? Can you hear anything? No, I'm, our dogs have just arrived home. We dropped them off the day while I was at the belfry and they've just come running in.

3:07.9

So no, sorry, I can only hear them.

3:10.6

Just, no, well, apart from that, under that,

3:13.8

if they stopped running in, then you'd hear absolutely nothing.
