Summary
Masters week is here and Andrew and Iain are there. Eddie's not in Augusta, but he joins from Pepperell Towers to look ahead to what is always one of the greatest weeks in golf. The three of them cast their keen eyes over the main contenders, while also looking back at events of the weekend, as JJ Spaun once more denied Bob McIntyre, while Matt Wallace went close. Iain also tells us how a multiple major champion ruined his Chinese takeaway, Andrew recounts a day of pointless flights and Eddie announces that he is going to try practising at golf.

| 0:35.6 | Hello Friends. |
| 0:36.7 | It doesn't say like that. It doesn't sound |
| 0:38.3 | anything like that, but he does. He says, hello friends, even if some of those people watching |
| 0:43.8 | might be very unpleasant, might not be friends at all. Jim doesn't judge. Everyone's a friend |
| 0:48.5 | at Masters time. So, um, hello friends. Ian Carter. How are you, first of all? I'm fine I'm fine thank you Andrew you've got one job this |

| 1:03.7 | to get him to do a sting saying hello chippers that's a good plan actually I will I will try and see. And every time I see him, he's one of the, so there's recognition, but I think he's one of those ones that he'll call me chief or my friend or boss. He wouldn't say anything like that, but he probably will say, hello there, friend. And I'll say, Jim, you don't know my name, do you? We work together. What's my name, Jim? Hmm? I've got a story along those lines for you in a bit. Oh, good, excellent. Oh, no, who have you met that? Oh, this is tremendous. Eddie Pepperel, friend. How are you? I'm okay. Thank you.

| 1:52.4 | above 96? Does that refer to Faldo's win? Six back in 96. It says six back in 96. |
| 1:58.7 | You've got some Faldo merchandise on your head. Did, How did you get that? Chat to Eddie and then I'll tell you the story. Ian's building up to his funny story. We're all on tenter hooks. Eddie, you've been playing golf today, haven't you? I have. How did you know that? Because you told me. Oh, that's right. So I did. I've been playing golf. Yeah, I played at Queenwood this morning, was guest of Lorry. And he was in fine form, actually, both on and off the course. He puts the Majestic in Majestics. And, yeah, it was a good day. Played with him and Todd Clements and Stephen Brown. So yeah, nice down the links. Fine weather here, |
| 2:35.4 | just as you left, unfortunately, during, well, in Storm Dave and I'm sure we'll get onto your |
| 2:39.2 | travel, worse. The sun has shone through and beautiful. So are you happy with your golf? Or are you |
| 2:46.2 | just playing recreational golf so you don't really care, but you're a professional golfer, Eddie, |
| 2:52.2 | so you've got to be tinkering with things. It's been tough because I didn't play well in Scotland |
| 2:55.6 | and I was really poor today. So I'm, you know, I can accept playing poorly when I'm not playing |
| 3:01.5 | professionally up to a point, but it was getting a little bit. The only saving grace today is I |
| 3:06.5 | made a good up and down on the last to save me and Todd about £80 each. So I came in when I needed to and I think I had a text from Sen at one point and he said, Oh, Eddie, you need to pull your finger out. But, yeah. Mr. Eddie, where's the money you promised me? He intended to pay me. Yeah. Okay. All right, well, that's good. I'm glad you're golfing away and the weather's good and you're enjoying some time at home in front of your, what look like oak or mahogany shelves in many leather-bound books. And a filing cabinet. Oh, what darkness lies in there. Much, much, like the one from the film with Jim Carrey, but I forgot |
