It's time now for the tripping forecast.

He said dynamically, I'm going to be dynamic this week, a podcast that has been described by the Wall Street Journal as a confusing mess of a golf podcast.

But what I will say is that we are, Kmit hasn't, sorry, Ian's raising his eyebrows at that. I just made that up. Sorry, Ian. Oh, we've been in the Wall Street Journal. Yes, as a confusing mess. But anyway, what I will say is that we are committed to delivering because the lengths that we go to, the dedication shown by us here

at the chipping forecast to bring you pods come hell or high water, both are with us this week.

The hell of the great illness has me within its vice like grip. I finally succumbed to the common cold.

I think it might be more than that. I did a COVID test this morning, negative,

but I like to dramatize things. I see, I'm getting faint already. And the high water, Ian Carter

is in the beautiful tourist-infested city of Venice. Ian, how are you? I'm all right, thank you.

It's lovely here. It really is, but the tide is high, it is it's coming over the one or two of the

pavements here I've had a really really good walk around Venice this morning was on a

gondola last night and as you say come hell or high water you're having the hell of the

the cold I actually came across the high water on a gondola to get back to my sister-in-law's apartment to be here with you this afternoon this very Monday afternoon. Yeah, that's what I said, hell or high water. Oh, look at the sun's come out there. Oh, can you see that? It's how we do it. Look at that. Sorry, it's just suddenly, it's right in my eyes and I haven't seen the sun today and I haven't been outside because I've got the great illness and I've been in bed and feeling a bit sorry for myself. So just for that moment of apricity, just a little bit of... It's not winter sun, isn't it? How's the other half, Andrew, when you have the man flu? Does she... How long does the sympathy remain? She thinks I exaggerate slightly. She says you do tend to go into a spiral

or just this. But I do because if I can't go out, I can go outside but I don't feel like it,

but if you can't exercise, can't do things, can't play it, hit a few golf balls then it just

because mentally you want to feel positive.

But when you're physically feeling ill and you're then also not doing anything, you just,

and I think we've talked about this on the pod before.

I'm sure we have talked about everything else in the pod,

but in terms of that men actually do get more cold than women and they also feel the symptoms more severely.

And that's not a Wall Street Journal made up fact. I think it's an internet fact, which has to be. That's to be true. Yeah. So Eddie

Pepperl, sorry, Hurti, I didn't give you a full introduction. How's your, how have your preparations been

going for Q school? Stage two. Stage two. I'm quite underprepared, I would say. Having said that, I played twice over the weekend, but we've had an awful lot going on at home in the last five, seven days. So, yeah, a bit scrambled, me and Jen. But we're going away tomorrow. So I think the level of focus needs to ratchet up, and it will, once I arrive in Barcelona. What's been going on?
