S4 E3: Tom Jackson & Jack Pinkney

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 06:00:00 +0100

Let us start by saying The Eventers Charity Golf Day is an amazing event. Good people enjoying a great day out for two incredible causes - Hannah's Willberry Wonder Pony and The Georgie Campbell Foundation. Amazing.

Now, that being said, this is also a competition. And as the old saying goes, whenever there is a trophy, there are accusations of cheating and accusations of over-zealous enforcement of the rules. Allegedly.

Never fear, your boys have got Tom and Jack on the pod to get to the bottom of it. Leave it with us!
