He admitted it’s all relative.

Also, Amanda is just there to articulate that golf is hard but in about 100 different ways.

Dahmen should consider catching a buzz before every round

Also it’s pretty obvious Koepka went to LIV because he couldn’t handle the expectations anymore.

I honestly felt like he and DJ had wives who are expensive as frick and they didn’t feel like they had a choice.

Holy cow! I just finished the first episode. The show is incredible so far. Watching Justin Thomas and his father celebrate the major was legit.

Rejoice golfers. Hopefully they do this every damn year.

I hated Koepka before this show and I hate him even more now. What a complete dickhead.

I mean, when you have 8 things in the ground trying to help you practice 4 footers you are fricked. At some point you just have to react to the situation and not over think.

The first 2 episodes are so corny. The forced bromance of Spieth and Thomas followed by Koepka acting emo and trying too hard. Maybe golf just doesn’t have interesting stories and characters. Tiger just carried the baton for the last 25 years.

People on here can find way to be upset with anything. The show is awesome.

Good insight on Fitzpatrick - he is likable. Finau was already easy to root for but now so even more. And for as much as Koepka wants it to seem like he doesn’t like golf, he’s competitive enough to where you can tell how much his shite play/injuries bothered him.

I’ll agree that the Fitzpatrick stuff was better than some of the other profiles. The Finau storyline bored the hell out of me. Couldn’t care less about his family.

I honestly don’t care that Dahmen is having a kid… or Finau’s FiL recently passed away… that Poulter’s kid likes trying on all his sunglasses. It’s just a ton of fluff and not focusing on the golf.


It sounds like you’re watching the cut aways that take up hours of coverage of a tournament instead of golf shots.

Watched the first episode last night. It sucked. Just boring and choppy and all over the place. Terrible production quality. I was not expecting the type of show where they have to explain what a par, birdie, eagle is etc.
hope the next few episodes are better. Very disappointed after all the hype around this

Are we on the rant or the golf board? Why can't we just be happy they put a netflix series out about a sport we love? It's certainly better than watching all the other shitty shows they have on there.

Maybe all of you naysayers will be more hyped for the new Outer Banks since you all seem to love high school so much

I think one of the reasons that Drive to Survive is so great is the access we have during the races. We can hear about decisions made, reactions, arguments, etc. I'm only 1.5 episodes into Full Swing, but that is what is really missing. I like it just fine, but most of the action is just dubbed over with interviews or reactions from parents outside the ropes. I understand it may not be possible to get more access, but that is the main difference I see.

Less than half of it is about the sport. That’s the problem. I don’t need insights into 15 different personal lives. This wasn’t supposed to be a Tom Rinaldi fluff piece. But that’s what it turned out to be. I don’t mind some context when family life comes into play. But it was overkill.

It has some, but the first two episodes definitely seem to go out of its way to avoid them for whatever reason.

I agree the first two episodes are terrible. No interest in watching Brooks pretending like he actually cares about golf, or watching JT and Spieth ride private jets around betting on pointless shite

There is some decent stuff later in the season though. The Dahmen ep is good, Finau is really likable, Sahith seems like an interesting guy to follow, etc.

But overall they missed the mark. Could have used a lot more of guys like Hovland, Homa, Higgs, Kis, etc

You are a miserable human being. Don't watch it, go watch inside the PGA Tour reruns.

Geezzz man, Brooks is in a rough place in his life. That fool needs a spiritual or life coach or something.

You are a Pro golfer man...... what a life! I'd give anything for that
