Review of Full Swing

Full Swing (2023– )
7/10
Interesting if not quite as advertised
20 February 2023
I really enjoyed this series but I get why some people were disappointed. Whilst not loads of drama, there were some really interesting episodes on some lesser known golfers I had barely heard of and now I feel like I'm going to root for them in the majors, and I think that's nice. All the players came across as really decent guys (with maybe one or two exceptions!) and seeing the home lives of some of them was a nice touch.

I'd forgotten some of the results in '22 so replaying tournament highlights wasn't a problem and not showing any golf would have been odd.

There is a view there was an anti LIV element to the series - not sure I agree. Lots of LIV defectors gave their take on it and the non-LIV did too - it seemed fairly balanced and everyone knows LIV is purely about the $ anyway so no real surprises. Ultimately the media care more about the LIV drama than the players, and that came across in the series also.

Definitely worth a watch whether you play golf or not.
