Iron Man Returns
5/4/20261 hr 13 min
With Andrew applying the finishing touches to his bumper colouring-in book, Eddie assumes the presenter’s seat buoyed by an encouraging return to action in Turkey. Iain (aka 'The Badger') is also happy with signs that show his golf isn’t quite as hapless as he feared. But the conversation is dominated by events on and off the course at the top of the game. They discuss a slow play penalty at the Turkish Open where there was a heartwarming winner, although we’re not sure whether it happened in Asia or Europe. Eddie and Iain also consider a dominant but dull win for Cameron Young and an equally emphatic win for Nelly Korda, while also getting into the possible demise of LIV Golf. They then round things off with Iain turning film critic and Eddie exclusively revealing that he doesn't know how to pack properly, or indeed stay around for a made cut.

He's r- he's really grumpy, isn't he, at the moment? He's so grumpy with it all. Um, yeah, it's horrible. It's a, it's a, it's... He's in that period where it's just gotta get done, and I think there's... It's funny because actually, what do you, do you... D- I'm slightly, I'm slightly discomfited here 'cause I thought you were gonna start the pod by going, "Hello, hello"- [laughs] ... which is the, the usual thing, but that's, um, by the by.
