Full Swing: una stagione di golf

If ur new to golf this will be a very interesting series, meeting the golfers, exploring personalities, etc. If you've followed golf for the last 2 years this will provide limited access to the PGA world that you didn't already know. LIV golf controversy is heavily portrayed. The most interesting aspect has to be mental turmoil of Bruce Koepka. Golf being a one man sport where if u don't play well you don't get paid provides an insightful view to the personalities, sometimes even the wives. But again if you follow PGA it's par for the course in golfspeak; LIV socks, PGA is king and BTW Rory is the golden child.

I'm a keen golfer, I'm now retired so I play golf a lot, fortunately my wife also loves the sport and plays just as much as me.

I play it, watch it and try to improve constantly, much like many of the players highlighted in this documentary.

The difference is that I don't have millions in the bank, private jets and even though I try hard I'm still average at the game!

This is a fascinating look behind the scenes at the world of professional golf, I loved it.

Seeing some of the players that we see everyday on TV up close and personal and getting a look into their lives was eye opening.

I've now got much more respect for some of the players.

Some others less so, Tony Finau and Joel Dahman what lovely guys.

Really good insight into what goes on behind the scenes and what the players go through not only on the course but off it. Although I'm not against what LIV is trying to do to potentially enhance the sport of golf, this series just shows that the PGA tour will likely always be the pinnacle and where the best players want to compete against eachother. It goes to show that the very best players such as Rory/JT have stuck around because legacy is just as important as the wealth. However for those middle ground players such as Poulter/Westwood who're also at the tail end of their careers, you can see why LIV Golf was the right decision.

What I hoped to be a deeper inside look into the players lives was more surface level than I had hoped. It might be a useful watch for those who are just becoming acquainted with golf and to learn all that goes into being a pro golfer, even though I think they didn't even scratch the surface on this either. I was hoping for more behind the scenes than straight up player interviews that consumed huge amounts of time. The other half was just recapping tournaments we'd already scene this last year. Golf channel already does these specials adequately already.

Overall the themes get a little repetitive with few episodes really varying from the other. The formula is basically :

1. It is incredibly hard to play on the PGA tour because of all that talent there is and it is getting harder and harder

2. There are a lot of things outside the golf course that people don't see that goes into it.

3. Looming threat of LIV golf that goes into no more detail than what someone following golf already knew.

4. Recap the chosen players big event for that year.

I was looking for more gossiping and getting the behind the scenes look. Not what I was hoping for as an avid golf fan, but maybe it will bring the average netflix viewer who hasn't been as exposed to golf into the fold.

Like series 1 and 2 but sadly series 3 is a real bore and dissapointment. It jumos around too much back and fourth in time due to there being very little unfolding story lines. The characters are boring this season and all around relies way to much on fast cutting and bland master interviews that don't forward any sort of narractive. Feels like Full Swing has done it's day and should be retired.
