Summary
Possibly our longest pod yet, but we're simply not going to apologise, since the long months of waiting are finally over and it’s MASTERS WEEK. Iain has arrived on the ground in Augusta, while Andrew and Eddie tell themselves that it's just as much fun preparing the different sporting challenges that await in Putney and The United Arab Emirates.
As well as a preview of things yet to come in Georgia, we take a look at events from the weekend on the various tours (although we lost our way and forgot to mention Madelene Sagström's matchplay win over Lauren Coughlin in Las Vegas). We do, though, talk about ANWA and also fondly remember one of Britain’s greatest amateur golfers, Peter McEvoy.
