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, welcome to the chipping forecast.

It is July.

July, where do the days go and the years?

They all just slip by. Anyway, hello, I'm Andrew Cotter and who's chuckling there? I can't see because I haven't got, I wasn't able to print out my notes. I can't see the Zoom. Hang on a second. Oh, my Lord, look at Eddie's, Eddie looks like Violet Boregard from Charlie and Chalka Factory after the blueberry thing. Oh my goodness, me. First of all, Ian, why are you chuckling? Well, here we are in high summer. There's bright sunshine. Wimbledon's about to start. The opens around the corner. And you make it sound like, oh, it's the end of days. Well, I mean... It's not the uplifting way to start. Anyone would think you've had a sleepless night. I have. Might come on to that. Eddie, have you been... Have you caught the sun somewhere? I, as you know, missed the cut. So I went and did some practice on Saturday. It was roasting in Italy. It was so hot. And I was staying in quite a nice hotel that had a pool. So I thought, I'm going to just have a nice relaxed weekend. I couldn't really get home early. So I spent some time sunbathing, but I left my sun cream in the golf bag. So I restricted myself to kind of an hour max, but oh boy, oh boy, can you tell? I mean, the state of me. An hour in the hot Italian sun without sun cream. Yeah. See, you think, because you're still a relatively young man. But then, oh, as I said, where do the days and years go? And then you'll be 50 and you'll have the neck like Tom Kite that I'm starting to get. Well, I don't think it's a big issue because my auntie once said of me, I think accurately, that I have fat skin.

And so I think the sun will help it just, you know, leather up a bit and go a bit thinner. So I don't mind it. That's not science, Eddie. Well, I can't what you say. You think of somebody like David Beckham. He's got thin skin. He's already, you know, quite wrinkly as handsome as he is. Whereas me, it's more of the sort of Stephen Fry, you know, the fat skin kind of, I get it.

I think she's right.

Jowly's the word, isn't it?

Jowley.

Well, yeah, I need to sort that out, especially before the wedding.

I've got a month to get rid of the Jals.

Jolly wedding photo.

Good, excellent. Well, I mean, there's so much sport going on just now. Ian and I are obviously preparing for a first day of Wimbledon at the moment. So I was at the weekend. I was watching, so I had the Tour de France on TV, Mark Cavendish, desperately trying to make the time limit, throwing up on the descents after the efforts in the heat. So the stage two started from just besides Chervier where the golf was. It finished in Rimini, stage one,

and stage two started from just beside Chervia, where the golf was.

It finished in Rimini, stage one.

And stage two started from about two miles away from the golf course.

Anyway, so I had Tour de France on the TV.

I had UK Athletics Championships in my laptop.

I had some Eastbourne tennis on the iPad.

I was thinking about a bit of the Italian Open as well.

I love this time of Yuri. And the football, this is why the football is great. People love the iPad. I was thinking about a bit of the Italian Open as well. I love this time of Yuri. And the
