Folding Pocket

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 there. It's a major week. In fact, I think, I think Eddie, as a man who's played in USPGA, you should do the introduction to the pod pod this week. I mean, you've played it three times, so it's only you who can say hello, hello this week. Hello, hello, good morning, everybody, and welcome to the PGA week. I've played three. I think I've made the cut in one, finished dead last in the other two. I hope you're all well. Ian, you're up early in America. How is travel? Travel was long but okay. The joy of having two empty seats next to you on a plane really is one of the great bonuses in life. And I was very fortunate to have that. A couple of

Ian recommends for you. For the first time I saw the film Philadelphia on the flight. Wow. What a film that is. First time. Oh my goodness. First time. Yeah, it was one of those. I thought, right, I'm going to watch a film that I haven't seen before. And it was Philadelphia. A bit of Bruce at the start. Bit of Bruce at the start. But just Tom Hanks, Denzel Washington, amazing story, brilliantly told. Honestly, the flight flew by as a result. We should say that's a bit of Bruce Springsteen, as opposed to a bit of Bruce Forsyth at the start of the film, Philadelphia. Or that would have been an odd introduction. As they fly over the streets of Philadelphia, good game, good game. I haven't seen Philadelphia.

I was wondering if it was Bruce Fawcith. Ian, me and Jen just completed slow horses off the back of one of

your recommendations and I'm a hundred pages through your book. So you are two to go. Right. So out of those,

what do you recommend? Well, they're both great.

Different.

His voice sort of went up there. Great.

No, I thoroughly enjoyed both.

So, well, you're a busy man. Just now, Eddie. We're a bit later with a recording to get us going in Major Week. I'm sorry about that. It wasn't the plan. The plan was to record something yesterday and then perhaps an additional preview pod on Wednesday, but yesterday didn't happen. Not the day itself. I think Monday did still took place. But Ian was traveling to the US. Eddie and I had

ideas, Ian, of playing golf yesterday at Walton Heath and then recording a pod just the two of us. But it was golf was Eddie,

Tom Lewis and Laurie Cantor. So that for me would have been just enormously humiliating. So

decided against that. That would have been brilliant. I don't think it would have been

in it. We played off the back tease. It was quite windy. The first eight holes were into a stiff

breeze and it was pretty difficult. I would, I think Andrew wouldn't have made it past the sixth green. It was quite windy. The first eight holes were into a stiff breeze and it was pretty difficult.

I think Andrew wouldn't have made it past the sixth green. I just need to apologise really to those at Walton Heath Golf Club because obviously last week I think I mentioned that I was offered a 6pm tea time and I had slightly embellished the fact because it was a 4pm tea time I was offered. but I had a member who also works on tour

texts me saying I can't believe they only offered you a 6pm tea time. This is a disgrace. And then I turned up yesterday and saw the receptionist and she said the same thing. I cannot believe somebody offered you a 6pm time. That is just not on. So I think I need to apologise to Walton Heath Golf Club because, and they were very friendly yesterday, let us on and we thoroughly enjoyed it as a way.

Big swinging pros, just turn up here and just expect everything.

And they perfectly good, 4pmT time, absolute gratis and complaining about everything.

Honest to goodness.
