It's time now to the chipping

forecast. We are in this, I'll say a special episode, it's just a normal episode. We are going to look back on the golfing year a little bit and no doubt look ahead to the year to come as well. But I think really what we're planning to do is just ramble on in our usual fashion. Eddie Pepperel, who's at home, has just held up what I wonder if it was a Christmas present that you got. Was it, Eddie? No, very much not. It just struck me that I've moved to room and I'm into the study where we've got a whole host of books, most of which Jen have read and I haven't barely opened a page on many. But I thought, oh, I'll have look and see what books I can see. 50 shares of grey. I ignored this one called something which I won't mention, but then I saw Gulf Wars by Ian Carter.

I thought, oh, I'll show that to the... Out of paperback for this festive period.

Get that mention in there, special guest, Ian Carter.

It is kind of the 50 shades of grey for the thinking man, woman, golf forest.

Hello, Ian Carter.

Where are you?

Have you redecorated your house and put some sort of plywood tiles up on the, no, polystyrene tiles up on the ceiling? No, I've not. I've actually come, um, is it, would it be right to say my alma mater? I've come into BBC Radio Lester to do this today. Do you just swing in there like the legend, your pictures up on the wall.

I have to say a huge thank you to Dale because he's got the Wi-Fi up and running for me.

And he remembers me from when I was here in the 1980s.

He didn't look old enough to remember that.

Well, that's what I said to him.

I said, you're not old enough to remember when I was here.

Dale's aged well. He has. He's done extremely well, and he works the Wi-Fi better than I certainly can. So I'm very grateful to him. I've been doing a bit of work up here with my dad's old place, and I'm going off to watch the football tonight. So it made sense to pop into Radio Leicicester let's like to come in and use one of your studios please yes it's carter Ian Carter yes I'm sure

you have heard of me I will be in at this time and you will clear my way if you could scatter

rose petals on my arrival that would be great thank you very much so yeah well done we are actually going to have a fourth joining us. Very shortly, if things go to plan, I'm pretty sure they won't go to plan, but we'll see. Before we get to that, Andrew, how was your evening last night commenting on the tennis match, the now infamous tennis match? Did it get a well from your perspective? I mean, I'm not sure what you can do with it, really.

It was one of those things that was just, it was awful, but, you know, it was something that we were doing.

So we just did it and just, you know, just trying to get through it.

But it was probably as soulless and empty,

a sporting event as I've ever covered and really quite pointless. Not pointless, because it

puts some money in the bank of Kerios in particular, has not been playing. So that's, that's,

that's what it was for. So I don't know. It just, yeah, it wasn't, And you can't say all those things when you're commentating because you don't want to be too Debbie Downer on it. But really, when, and then Ronaldo just turns up halfway through the first set, you know, with caca. You know, and they, they clearly, I mean, I'm sure they they had been i don't want to suppose but i imagine
