Summary
This week, Eddie is fighting fatigue after returning from Kenya and is also tired from grappling with golfing demons. We hear where he is with his game, what's next for him and how he did at least manage to buy the friendship of wildlife. The three discuss the win for Brian Campbell on the PGA Tour, talk about one of the best swings in the game and hear from Europe's new Ryder Cup captain Anna Nordqvist. They also discuss drinking while playing golf, but decide that it is neither big nor clever.
