It's time now for the chipping forecast in association with Peter Millar, brought to you by Andrew Cot lucky, lucky few. Actually, no, lucky many. So there we are. You're lucky many because here we are with a bonus episode.

We are on Wednesday of Masters Week.

Ian Carter, our regular special guest, is out in Augusta.

Augusta Maine, the capital.

There is a story of a journalist who went to Augusta, Maine,

when he meant to go to Augusta, Georgia. Yes. David Facey of the Sun. Oh, well, yes. Anyone who would know David Facey would know that this is not something that would come as a great surprise, but he actually went to the wrong Augusta. Got off the plane and thought, this is a bit cold. All right. Well, more than that. Actually, no more than that. That's the story. No more on that to come. Eddie Pepperl is in Ajman, Derbyshire. Ajman United Arab Emirates. And of course we're going to do all masters here, but Eddie is getting ready for his first of a couple of tournaments in the United Arab. You have been out in a pro-am today, were you? Pro-am. Quite a quick pro-am. We're in buggies and there was only three of us, so we got around in under four hours, which the amount of poor shots I hit, they were quite relieved, I think, to see, but it was fine. It's quite a nice place actually where we are so did they see the darkness no no although one of the playing partners did come up to me and said oh i've noticed you you don't seem very happy not today he said not today but just when i've watched you in the past you don't ever seem very happy but then he went on to say that he spoke to colin montgomery and said the same to monte and monte said well no i'm fine off the course I'm just like the game frustrates me and I said well that's where me and Monty are like so yeah there we go but so many ways so many ways yeah the burgeoning

waste line sure no how's your accommodation very yeah it's quite nice um it's a wellness resort, health and wellness. When I walked in for lunch, the day I arrived, I saw a woman who looked like a doctor, quite frankly, and I thought I was in a hospital and they don't do any sugar. I asked for some butter this morning on the toast, and he said, we don't do butter. It's a a health resort so you can have all sorts of treatments

the colonic irrigation is there in fact i might do that if i have a bad couple of days and just

wash it all away but uh no it's it's all it's all on offer here it seems so um quite an interesting

spot excellent ed is checked into a sanatorium sorry it's your kind of place Andrew your kind of place. It doesn't sound like no butter. I couldn't do without butter. Really? I mean, I, oh no, I couldn't. You know, I struggle, you know, in Japan. I mean, they are getting more and more of it now, obviously, because of Western tastes coming in. But Japan is like not a land of dairy at all. So when I was looking

for butter, you know, you have to, you had to look quite hard to find dairy goods. But they like their coffees now, but milk and butter and things. I was a bit frustrated because I can understand the no sugar policy. I agree. It's bad for you. But when I said, I'd like some butter and they said oh no butter it's a health health result I said well I kind of said

well is butter unhealthy I oh I could have been prompted into an argument there because there's an argument to we have, but I didn't. But yeah, as I said, there's a plunge pool. There's a sauna. There's a steam room. I've been using that and relax. I went to pool this morning. so yeah all good thank you this is great well we'll

we'll finish by looking ahead I've been using that and relax. I went to the poll this morning. So, yeah, all good.

Thank you.

This is great.

Well, we'll finish by looking ahead maybe to things out there.

But anyway, of course we're going to look ahead to the Masters because it's Wednesday.

All the big names have spoken and we've got the tea times.

Fred Ridley, the chairman, has been having his say as well.

All sorts of news which Ian has been hoovering up out there, dicing up, vacuum cleanering up.

How has it been anyway, Ian, since, you know, just paint the scene for us.

Since the heavy rain, are things drying up? Does it feel mastersy?
