This week our trio pan both hemispheres as Andrew and Iain brave the cold of the UK andEddie is in baking South Africa ahead of the Alfred Dunhill Championship at Leopard Creek Country Club.

They discuss Adrián Otaegui's switch from Spain to the UAE and whether or not he can still appear in the Ryder Cup for Europe, and, Eddie reveals we may all get a sighting of the lesser spotted Pepperell in shorts on the course this week.

As all of this is going on Eddie, the self-confessed storm lover, is stranded in his lodge and misses out on a spectacular thunder and lightning show as Andrew and Iain debate whether or not fatherhood will enhance Justin Thomas' upcoming season. Eddie also tells of an unlikely but welcome money-saving scheme that could bring good fortune over the next two weeks.
