PGA Tour’s Netflix Docuseries Gets Torn Apart With Strong Criticism, Triggering Mixed Reactions in the Golf Community

‘Full Swing’, a Netflix documentary about golf, was eagerly anticipated by fans. The series aimed at popularizing the sport by bringing inside stories related to the sport. However, the series has been far from positive, with many calling it a failed attempt at capturing the essence of golf. One of the Twitter accounts shared the review by one of the viewers on his account.

The criticism is so strong that the person described the series as a “horrible” experience that ends in “massive organ failure and death”. This reaction has been met with massive criticism and backlash from fans of the sport.

Unfiltered review of Full Swing by one of the spectators

One of the Twitter accounts shared a very negative review of a fan on his social media. ‘Full Swing’ was compared to “Drive to Survive” by the critic. In his review, he wrote that Netflix’s golf documentary was a failed attempt. He wrote, “In that spirit, and as a golf agnostic, let me say this: Netflix’s new series Full Swing aims to do for golf what Drive To Survive did for Formula One… but shanks it horribly off the tee, into a pond, tries to roll its trousers up and hit the ball out of the pond, falls over in the pond, gets into difficulty, needs rescuing by a frogman.”

The review was ruthless and felt like it was coming out from a biased opinion. Moreover, it further read, “…eventually catches Weil’s disease and suffers massive organ failure and dies, horribly, propped up on an uncomfortable chintz banquette in a clubhouse being yelled at by a double-glazing salesman about how many miles to a gallon he gets in the Audi.” This review has stirred anger among fans of the sport and has even received massive retaliation.

Most of the fans were enraged after hearing such harsh criticism of their favorite sports documentary. Fans questioned the reason behind writing such a harsh review, while others remained stunned at the pragmatism of the review. One of the Twitter accounts accused the review of being written out of jealousy and claimed that the critic must be envious of those who have already viewed the entire season.

Another fan questioned the authenticity of the review. He inquired whether the Head of Content at the BBC wrote the review. Despite this, others disagreed with the review and deemed it worth watching. However, the extremity of the review did leave a few of the fans amused. They did not lag behind and made a speculative guess about the identity of the critic, targeting a grump and alleging that the individual habitually has a negative attitude towards others.
