Full Swing on Netflix
I surfed past this numerus times and didn't pay much attention as I'm not a big fan of most documentaries. I gave it a glance a few days ago and if your a golf fan, even just a spectator which I am these days, this is pretty darn good.

Seven episodes featuring different golfers in each.



Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves.

Agreed! I thought it was very well done. I can't believe I didn't know that pros who don't make the cut don't get paid anything. Another takeaway is that I was surprised just how stupid Brooks Koepka is. I was never a fan of his but damn is he a moron.

That's part of, allegedly the biggest part of, why many pros signed-on to LIV Golf--which is, in turn, why you don't see them in PGA Tour events anymore.

Not really, LIV is a circus act financed by Saudi money by poaching mostly aging golfers.
Apparently (most) everyone has a price to sell their integrity and disrespect the game and Tour that gave them an opportunity.
Everyone on that circus act tour is dead to me.

I don't disagree.
