Summary
Andrew, Eddie and Iain are back where they review the Women's PGA Championship in Baltusrol and why Iain preferred it to the men's US Open the week before. The trio go deep into the weeds, or rough if you will, with the bifurcation of golf - should the pros be using different equipment and balls to level the playing field than those that us regular hackers and swishers do? They also look ahead to the British Masters asking if British players based in the USA have the obligation to play in tournaments in their home country. We find out what happened to Eddie in the Munich Pro-Am and why it didn't go particularly well for him the next two days on the DP World Tour. One of Andrew's dogs makes a guest appearance and we find out why Elton John's drummer plays in a golf glove. Eddie also thinks Iain's hotel room in New York seems to be haunted so encourages him to watch Stranger Things, only on the plane home though!
