It's time now for the chipping forecast in association with Peter Millar, brought to you by Andrew Cotter, Eddie Pepperel, and special guest Ian Carter. Hello, Chipperati, wherever you may be.

Welcome to this latest edition of the chipping forecast, big pod.

Big pod, significant golfing stories from both sides of the Atlantic to get our teeth into to get our teeth

into and work them like that and then someone will say give me that story give it leave it drop it

and I'll know hanging on to shaking it about a bit and then get bored with it and wander off anyway

the three of us are in different locations i'm at home with my

internet from 1994 ian carter uh coughing there our regular special guest is where where are you i'm in

the alps uh i'm on my summer holidays so uh it's a glorious glorious day uh not a cloud in the sky in fact

we haven't really seen a cloud since we've been here for a few days.

You sent a... It's fantastic, yeah.

Yeah, you sent a picture or two of Montblanc and I was urging you to get up there, but good conditions. Go up to Aguid de Midey and then Sont her up from there.

We're in Edinburgh again, stopped overnight at the flat, so still no bias. And we're here

that we're here last night and we're going to drive home today. Can you see the smoke?

Funny enough, yes. I know I didn't know about this, but we were driving into the city from Aberdeen and I said to Jen, it looks like the castle's on fire. Beyond the castle would have been Arthur's seat from the direction we were driving. And I kind of jokingly said, oh, the castle's on. But then I turned the news on and did see Arthur's seat. So that's a real shame. Yeah, it's not good. Yeah. It always happens in the summer when things are dry.

People go and either have somebody who'll have been up Arthur's seat and having a little
