Hi, this is Eddie Pepperel and you're listening to The Chipping Forecast.

Rory, get your act together.

It's time now for the Chipping Forecast, in association with Peter Millar,

brought to you by Andrew Cotter, Eddie Pepperl and special guest Ian Carter.

Ahoi there. Welcome to the chipping forecast once again.

Avast you land lovers. People say it it avast anymore i don't think they do

um hello welcome to the chipping forecast we are a few days removed now a few days moved on from eddie's

uh eddie's storming finish at queues school uh and most of you i think listened to the bonus pod

but there were some of you who didn't realize we did a bonus pod it's's not advertised. I tried to get it out there on the socials. So you'll be maybe looking forward to hearing Eddie for the first time after Q school. So what have you done for the last few days, Edward Lewis Pepperel? Oh, Louis, actually, I think. Is it? Sorry. Yeah, well, it's got the French spelling, isn't it? I was trying to do the thing where people reproach you and use your full name. Edward Louis Pepperl. You eat up those greens. Sorry, yes, what are you going up to? Very little, not eating many greens either. I should, what have I been doing? I've been quite tired, maybe as to be

expected, I suppose. So not been up to much. Did pop into Shrixton to get my irons fixed and

sorted this morning, which was helpful, and discovered something which I thought may have been

the case. I played for the last two weeks. I don't know that I mentioned this. I took an old set of clubs away to Q school with me.

I just put a different set in entirely, a combination set actually. So clubs that I actually hadn't hit for years in some cases. And my gap wedge was two degrees upright. And I thought something was wrong with it because it kept going left. and so today so today i asked them i said look can you tell me

if this gap wedge is upright or whether it's just me because i've hit it left a lot and it nearly cost me

at second stage and he said no this is two degrees upright so uh yeah good job i i i went i did want to get

it sorted at final stage but the machine that was on site there was so old that none of the younger

kind of tour staff knew how to use it and I couldn't get hold of the uh the professional

it don't you I remember bending clubs in the machine in the pro shop back in the 80s you just put it

in there fix it in and bend it yeah I've never done anything I mean Jamie could have possibly done it

but we didn't know for sure if it was upright or not. I just thought it was because it kept going left. And it was funny because Derek sent me a video from one of the days where I hit it left in the water. And I looked at the swing and I thought, that doesn't look like it should have gone left to me. And it did. And so, yeah, I'm glad that it was confirmed. that was two degrees upright. It wasn't me. I mean, it's never me, obviously. Ian, we've got to get our clubs fixed.

Yeah. And it did. And so, yeah, I'm glad that I was, it was confirmed. It was two degrees upright. It wasn't me. I mean, it's never me, obviously. No, Ian, we've got to get our clubs fixed, clearly. Why don't, why didn't you just put your wedge next to the club that was closest to it in the bag and see whether, and just, you know, lie them there and then see if there was any difference. And then if there was, then bend one of them. Well, it's tough to bend the lie of the lie angle of a club, though, because you would need a vice. Because obviously, you know, you've got to get on the metal. It's not just the shaft. It's the head. What I did in my first warm-up session at final stage was I was hitting sandwiches, hitting them nicely, hit some gapwiches, left, back to some sandwiches nice, and I knew immediately. And so my sandwich was actually a degree flat. And my gap, so my gap wedge was actually three degrees more upright than my sandwich. So, yeah, I mean, I really, I would have won Q-score if I'd have had a flat, a gap wedge.
