It's time now for the chipping forecast, issued by Folding Pocket on behalf of Andrew Cotter, Eddie Pepperall and special guest Ian Carter.

Hello everyone once again, welcome to the Chipping Forecast podcast.

I'm Andrew Carter.

I forget I never really introduced myself.

It doesn't matter.

But I do introduce our, not my co-presenters, the podcasts, co-presenters, sorry, a special guest. We're off to a flyer here. This is going tremendously well. This is all just a residue and

PTSD from the proam at the Belfrey and the tournament after that as well but Ian Carter our regular special

guests have you been back up to the belfry for the plaque unveiling ceremony not yet no but

i'm looking forward to it enormously you know on the 10th hole at the belfry the famous hole i'll tell

your listener there are now two more plaques uh going in on that hole in a spot, sort of 50 yards left of the green, with huge trees to negotiate, little stream around the green. Not much green to play with. There is now one which says, from here, Ian Carter knocked it to five feet and rolled it in for a birdie in the 2024 British Masters proam. There is also one right beside it, which says, from here, from a

perfectly good lie, Andrew Cotter thinned a 58-degree wedge so badly that the ball was severed

cleanly in half, both parts of the ball breaking the sound barrier. So that's good. So Seve's

T-shot onto the green, Ian Carter's beautiful flop shot, my knife, my shot. The one shot, which I genuinely haven't recovered from, is the kind of shot that actually makes people gasp. You know, it has the cries of four, but they mix with sort of yelps of disbelief and shock. The kind of shot that makes children burst into tears right there and then asking their parents to explain why there's so much horror in the world.

It was the most shocking shot until Scottish Schaeffler shanked out of the bunker on the 8th at the Tour Championship final round.

Well, no, it was a whole where we will come to all that proper golf in a moment.

But I think people are excited to hear those who didn't make the trip across from Ireland

to hear about the pro-am.

Eddie, what were your thoughts on the pro-am experience before we'll come to the British Masters experience?

I suspect an important distinction to be made

between yourself, Andrew and Scottish Sheffler

was the attitude that followed after such a poor shot.

I can only imagine they were quite different.
