Okay, so I finally got around to watching that golf docu-series everyone was talking about. Heard about it here and there, figured I’d give it a look.
Getting Started
First things first, I had to find the darn thing. Fired up the TV, went to that streaming service, you know the one, the big red ‘N’. Took me a minute, scrolling through all the stuff they throw at you. Typed in ‘golf’ or something like that in the search bar. Ah, there it was. Pictures of golfers, looked promising enough.
Clicked on it. Trailer auto-played, loud as usual. Skipped that. Just wanted to dive in. Hit ‘Play’ on the first episode. Settled back on the couch, grabbed the remote, ready to see what the fuss was about.
The Viewing Process
Watched the first episode. It was alright. Focused on a couple of players, showed their life on tour, the pressure, all that jazz. It wasn’t exactly groundbreaking, but it held my attention. Good production quality, I’ll give them that.
Didn’t binge it all in one go. Not my style usually. Watched maybe one or two episodes an evening for a few days. Sometimes after dinner, sometimes just to unwind before bed.
- Found myself getting drawn into the players’ stories more than I expected.
- Some episodes were better than others. Depended on the players they focused on, I guess.
- Liked seeing the behind-the-scenes stuff. Not just the swings, but the travel, the family life, the rivalries.
- It definitely showed how mentally tough you gotta be for that sport. Constant ups and downs.
There were parts where it felt a bit repetitive, maybe? Like, okay, another tournament, another practice round. But then they’d throw in some personal drama or a good rivalry angle, and it pulled me back in. Seeing guys like Rory, JT, Koepka, Scheffler – it felt pretty candid most of the time. Sometimes you root for a guy, sometimes you think, ‘Man, this dude’s intense’. It humanized them a bit, which was cool.
Finishing Up
Got through the last episode just the other night. It wrapped things up, showed the end of the season for the players they followed. Felt like a decent conclusion to the journey they showed.
Overall? Yeah, it was a worthwhile watch. Didn’t turn me into a golf fanatic overnight or anything, but I appreciated the look inside that world. It was put together well, easy to watch. Passed the time nicely. Glad I checked it out. Gave me something different to watch instead of the usual reruns.
