Summary
It’s a Dunhill Links debrief this week and while Andrew and Iain skirt delicately around the issue, Eddie is quite happy to talk about life before and after the 16th hole at Kingsbarns. They also discuss Tyrell Hatton’s win - taking a huge cheque from the DP World Tour which would cover his DP World Tour fines if he should ever decide to pay them. They get into the revival of Nicolas Colsaerts, as well as wondering about poor on-course behaviour and what possible mitigation there might be. Yet there is still time for more musings on the future of the professional game, clarification on which Open course is closest to the sea and an explanation for being half-naked in Bernhard Langer’s hotel room.

| 0:03.0 | It's time now for the chipping forecast, issued by Folding Pocket on behalf of Andrew Cotter, Eddie Pepperall and special guest Ian Carter. |
| 0:34.3 | Eddie, Eddie, do you know what the most important thing is, Eddie, that you put on each day? |
| 0:38.2 | What item do you put on each day before you step out of the door? |
| 0:41.8 | My node VPN coloured socks. |

| 0:44.0 | Or NordVPN. |
| 0:45.4 | Although NordVPN, that's brilliant. |
| 0:47.2 | It's a smile, yes? |
| 0:50.1 | It's a smile that you put on every day before you step out of the door. |
| 1:04.3 | Because sometimes, you know, in golf, in life, in this terrible, wonderful business, we call show, you just have to apply that smile like foundation and take on the world and convince everybody that you're doing fine, even though you're not. |
| 1:09.8 | So how are things, big, big man, big guy, champ. |
| 1:27.7 | I'm all right. We obviously didn't have a great week at the Dunhill, but in terms of my golf, but I had a relatively nice week other than that. But yeah, I drove back yesterday, so I'm a little tired, but I'll hang in there for you, I'm sure. So has the Argentinian footballer who's not Argentinian, is he? We just moved back in then. |
| 1:31.1 | Was he just out for a wee while in a tent and he's back in the flat now in Edinburgh? |
| 1:36.1 | No, he had actually been out for a little while beforehand, so he's elsewhere now, I think. |
| 1:36.6 | Okay. |
| 1:40.2 | So do you Airbnb or flat when you're not there? |
| 1:43.6 | No comment for legal reasons, I guess. |
| 1:44.9 | Oh, yeah. |
| 1:45.8 | Okay, sorry. |
