First episode dropped after Super Bowl if you signed up with Michelob. Probably gonna get a ton of spam emails now but good watch.
Ep 1 mainly Jordan (not exactly Mr. Personality) and JT at the PGA.
The LIV Vs PGA on future episodes should be interesting.

Are they dropping all the eps at once on feb15? Is this going to be a multi parter like the tennis one ?

From what I heard this weekend from critics/golf industry folks that got to see the series early, this thing could be interesting to the very casual or non-fan, but less so for the avid fan. Don't really learn or see much you didn't already know, including LIV vs PGA. We'll see

I could see that. Probably not a lot of bombshells for those that follow golf pretty closely. I do think that the peak behind the curtain will be interesting though. Looking forward to it.

Yeah after watching the first episode, it did have a few moments where it's explaining the cut line and what the majors are. Stuff where if you don't know this, you're probably not watching this to begin with. I still thought it was cool just because I like behind the scenes stuff.

I disagree.

I got hooked on Drive to Survive and had no clue about anything related to Formula 1 racing.

I can see how someone who knows nothing about golf picks this up and watches especially if they've watched Drive to Survive and this pops up on their suggestions.

Very similar feel to Break Point - the Netflix tennis doc. I only knew one or two of the tennis pros they featured so this is much more interesting since we know all of these golfers. Seeing JT run in to the local CVS straight from the course, still wearing the clothes he just played a major tournament in, to get allergy meds is kind of fun.

Yeah I guess you're right, there will be some cases like that

Was able to watch it yesterday. It was fun, nothing too dramatic in first episode but should be entertaining.

Can we visit the graphic that Netflix sent out via email?

1) this pic is the 12th at Augusta...sorta. Guessing they color washed it/photoshopped it for whatever reason. It looks awful.

2) The show is called "Full Swing", not "sawed off 8i fade".

3) Trying to guess if the golfer is legit and I am gonna guess Finau?

So I binged it all today as I worked and as an avid golf fan, I still really enjoyed it. The basic information was limited to the first episode to get non-golfers interested and not make them feel stupid.

Lots of great player commentary and family deep dives, including players I didn't know a whole lot about. Each episode is really focused on comparing and contrasting a few players' stories and their backgrounds and performances in a few key tournaments. I won't ruin any of the stories but anyone who is a sucker for some behind the scenes footage and likes the players will enjoy it.

If you're looking for some ground-breaking info or investigative reporting about the PGA/LIV drama or anything like that, you'll be disappointed.

Watched the first two episodes so far. It is so refreshing to see golf in a different, more mainstream way. These guys are always so guarded and we know so little about them unless they are people like Homa who show up on podcasts or No Laying Up etc. Its nice to see some behind the scenes.

Is all of the content great? No. Is there plenty that is clearly scripted? Yes. But I'm enjoying it so far and the wife is even somewhat interested in watching them. If that leads to her at least occasionally interested in watching while I'm watching events, thats a win.

Loved the Joel Dahmen episode. I didn't know much about him. Good dude.

Loving it so far after the first two eps.

My wife is actually enjoying it more. She enjoys watching golf with me but I think now will enjoy it more since she has a little more context on who the players are and their motivations. I don't think it'll bring more viewers like Drive to Survive but I think it'll make casual viewers a little more vested.

I think my wife watching this is gong to be a huge benefit this golf season.

We already know one of the guys on the show as my wife's family and his wife's family are really close friends, but it already looks like she has a new rooting interest or two in some of these other guys and will likely complain less when golf is on all weekend around the house.

Yeah, I knew he was kind of a crack-up seeing some of his interviews, but really good insight there.

I'm on Episode 2.

God the Waste Management Open looks awful. I wouldn't attend to even watch as a fan. I couldn't imagine playing through that **** show.

Brooks' wife slid into his DMs and then they started dating. These dudes literally get any lady they want.

For every Jupiter gold digger that tries, there are dozens more who strike out. Their divorce is going to be EPIC!

Thought episode 2 was very well done basically juxtaposing Brooks' spiral to mediocrity with Scheffler's rise to stardom.

It's pretty easy to see how Brooks convinced himself LIV was his best path forward if he truly doesn't think he can compete anymore.

You can tell his confidence is through the floor.

On the other hand, Scheffler seems like a great guy with a great attitude, but like Brooks said you really never know what a guy is made of until they're consistently underperforming their own expectations.

Man I'm with you on this one. I know we're in the minority here on this board but that tourney looks like it's full of d-bags.

I said it on the other thread, but I will say it again here. It is one big giant frat party. Guys pounding beers trying to act cool, and hot chicks showing their stuff off. It's cool for a little while, but would get old very quickly week to week.

I've never been, but I'd bet if someone was to walk the course and get away from #16,17,18 the atmosphere is probably a little more tame?

I'm all for having a good time. But that type of enjoyment would have been great in my 20s. Maybe for a bachelor party too.

But yeah, they chug beers and launch them onto the course. Happy Gilmore behavior lol

Bottles happened one time and it started last year on one hole. They switched to cups this year because of it. I agree that part is stupid but the overall atmosphere is fantastic and the players absolutely love it

I don't want to get too deep in the weeds, but I've been able to chat with Joel before about our cancer experiences (we were both early 20's when diagnosed) and he's a down to earth dude exactly as he came off on Netflix documentary. He's 100% living life to the fullest and his comment about being diagnosed was a "blessing in disguise" is exactly how I looked at my situation. Sucks 100% going through it, but it makes you realize just how fragile life is and not to get worked up over stupid stuff and to appreciate everything you have (friends and family specifically).

Joel is a great dude.
