Episode 5: DJ bails for LIV and Fitzy breaks through, presented by B. Draddy Feb 15, 2023

Show notes

An episode both long and short, as the Netflix producers continue their theme of highlighting two players, often contrasts, in one episode. Brendan, Andy, and Joseph discuss DJ’s lovability, or escapability from the LIV scorn that found so many, and Matt Fitzpatrick’s breakthrough summer. They also debate whether we’re really getting much new about these players in the show overall for it to be a success. This episode of Full Swing Thoughts is supported by our good friends at B.

Episode 4: The “Imposter” Joel Dahmen, presented by Zero Restriction Feb 15, 2023

Show notes

A discussion of Full Swing taking a peak at the “mid tier” of the PGA Tour with the compelling story and personality of Joel Dahmen. What did we learn about Joel, specifically, and the plight of the pro who might not be at the most elite level? Was this time well spent for the series as a whole?

Episode 3: The one about LIV, kinda, presented by B. Draddy Feb 15, 2023

Show notes

This episode discusses the first real time the show starts to wrestle with the LIV disruption, through the eyes and decision of Ian Poulter.

Episode 2: Basketcase Brooks and Soaring Scottie, presented by Zero Restriction Feb 15, 2023

Show notes

The FST trio reacts to a strong second episode of Full Swing, arguably a dramatic step-up from the opener (that’s debated within). Andy, Brendan, and Joseph discuss the jarring Brooks Koepka vulnerability, sulkiness, and self-doubt throughout the episode, and how it contrasted against the rise and mental freedom of Scottie Scheffler.
