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 there everyone. Welcome to the chipping forecast once again. I am filled with trepidation ahead of this. I'm a little bit worried because I am behind. I'm underprepared and a bit rushed. We have a Monday recording here, Monday morning recording, because Eddie, what was he? Have you, is it Tom Lewis, is Stang do or something? Is that what you're doing this week? No, what was it you doing? That's correct, although not until tomorrow. I'm flying, so, um, where is the Stang do? It's in Portugal. I'm not prepared to be any more specific than that, but, you know, bear in mind we're golfers playing golf in Portugal. I'm sure the short list of figure out exactly where we are is quite short. So we are in the outgarden, Villamora, actually, to be specific. So if anyone's around, a fancy's coming and watching, 15 pound is the entry fee.

So when you said you were not prepared to be any more specific and then you have just been absolutely more specific, in fact, exact about where you are. So is this, oh, what goes on tour stays on tour? This is, who's all there then? Cantor Bter? Well, yeah, Laurie and Tom.

Me, Tom and Laurie are the three captains.

And then I think there's 12 of us in total. Wow. There's a few more, but non-golfers. A few non-golfers who are going to be there refereeing, overseeing making sure there's no cheating from Laurie in particular. Because he's known for that sort of thing. Well, no, because he'll, he'll, he'll, he'll go off to a more lucrative stag do.

But so what, so when you go down to three teams of 12 or three teams of four? Oh, no, three teams of four. All right, okay. But, I mean, you're still getting down to 12. You're getting down to quite tenuous friends. You know, people who might not even be friends. that just associates or found out? Yeah, well, I think on my team, I've got a couple of caddies,

Laurie Potter. friends, you know, people who might not even be friends, they're just associates or family?

Yeah, well, I think on my team I've got a couple of caddies, Laurie Potter. Oh, you're a good player. He's a good player. And Callum, who used to caddy for Tom. He's also a decent player, I think. And then I'm not sure I know the fourth, so I'll take a bit of getting used to. It'll be good few days.

I'm looking forward to it.

Unfortunately, the weather looks better in the UK than it does in Portugal, which is a real shame. It's a nice here, yeah.

And as you can tell, I've been sat out yesterday. I've burnt, burnt myself. My chest is extraordinarily red. So I won't show you that. But Jen said, don't need to put any cream on. Just go out there, catch some some without the cream. It's not that hot. So I stayed out for two hours and I came back like a lobster. So, right, okay. Jen seems to me to be a very sensible person, very sensible and educated and intelligent. And why is she telling you that it's not that warm? It's like nothing to do with the warmth of the sun. She just doesn't like all the toxins in the sun cream. So she's of the opinion you're better of not putting any on, or indeed not even bothering sitting in the sun, but that's

a non-negotiable for me. I like sitting in the sun. So I went out there without cream on. And yeah, I probably should have put some, I probably should have put some on. But, uh, hot on. Yeah.

There we go.

Anyway, how are you?

How was your day at the marathon?

I'm fine.

I'm staggered by, still by the the don't use sun cream advice from Jen. So if you're listening, kids, do actually use sun cream. I will say Jen does use sun cream. She uses the ultra high block, very good stuff, which doesn't penetrate. So then you don't become brown in any way. You end up just staying white, and I'm not, I'm not the keen on that.

Life's too short to, you know, be pale your whole life. I'm of, yeah. Now, what I will say to you, Eddie, as a wise old, 51-year-old now, so I spent all my, you know, teenage years, youth out on golf courses outside, never put sun cream on, and you end up having a neck like Tom Kite. We've talked about this before. And Tom Kite's a very handsome man, I'm sure. But all golfers will get these sort of slightly reptilian necks after a while. So put it on your, and you think you're putting it on your neck and you are, but there are always bits just under your ears. So go just under ears put the cream on there make sure because otherwise you'll get to the you know late 40s and

you'll suddenly turn your head in the mirror and you'll go what are all those little sort of spots there

and why?

A bit like Benjamin Button.

Oh honestly just look after yourself. That's what I say.
