I cannot tell you how excited I was when I first heard we were going to be getting an inside look at the PGA Tour and then to find out the docuseries was being produced by the same folks who produce Drive to Survive, I was beyond excited. I have some thoughts and feelings about the first season of Full Swing and since my family and friends are sick of hearing them, I figured I'd write them all down. My one lingering thought is simple though: Can't wait for Season 2!
Frenemies
Jordan and JT’s friendship is literally everything
I need more information on Jordan’s best man speech
Please interview Michele Greller!
Can we come up with a better jacket for the RBC heritage? The plaid just isn't doing it
Would I be a professional golfer if my dad was Mike Thomas?
I’d do anything to be in a practice round with these two
Honestly, what a turn of events for Phil
Confused as to why the LPGA doesn’t acknowledge the Saudi money they get or why this issue isn’t brought up in the F1 Drive to Survive series
JT at CVS self-checkout is the MOST relatable thing ever
Jordan yelling at himself is also extremely relatable and makes me laugh
The cardigan is classy JT
Mike Thomas is a literal gem
Tied for 34 and leaves with over $60k, not too bad if you ask a civilian like me
Just remembering how great JT’s charge truly was and how devastating Mito’s 18th was
Win or Go Home
How much of a pat on the back is Brooks looking for within these first three minutes?
I can’t deal with his hair choice - Will he be wearing a Justin Timberlake all-denim outfit next?
Don't love Jena’s “I slid into Brooks’s DMS” comment
I’m once again left speechless at Harry Higgs on the 16th
Brooks’s “Like a real sport” comment needs to be unpacked further
“It’s frustrating 'cause I’m a professional golfer” … what does that even mean?
The 3rd place payout is far greater than my annual salary
I'm suspicious of those who don’t think they can learn from their losses
Scottie Scheffler saying playing on the PGA Tour is "very fun" is everything
Scottie and Meredith are so cute
The Arnold Palmer sweater is simply adorable
Brooks’s trophy wall is wild…lots to unpack there
Augusta is simply GORGEOUS
The green jacket is obviously fire
Tiger’s confidence is unparalleled
I need to know what players make through endorsement deals even when they miss the cut because we all know $0 isn’t fully accurate if you take into account other forms of income
I need to go to the Masters
Ted Scott’s pre-round pep talk to Scottie was very sweet
Brooks totally gave LIV “some thought” by the time he was asked this question
Money or Legacy
I also need to go to the Ryder Cup
Poulter laughing at his caddy falling is just like me laughing when my best friend falls, making sure she’s okay and then laughing hysterically while praying someone got it on camera
Grown men talking about Instagram and Twitter followers is hysterical
LIV golf just isn’t golf in my opinion
Rickie is a nugget
Does anyone have more plaid pants than Ian Poulter?
If my dad was a professional golfer how much better of a golfer would I be?
“A walking gender reveal party” hahahahah
That throwing tantrum was uncalled for on so many levels
I think Poulter’s expenses were covered just fine as he left the tournament by flying private to his mansion in Orlando
I’m just going to point out that having a bunch of sponsors on your gear means you’re not working for free Poulter…
That press conference was WILD
I also just need to point out that there are a bunch of American companies that have offices and do business in Saudi Arabia…why haven’t there been more discussions surrounding that?
Imposter Syndrome
Harry Higgs and Joel Dahmen on the 16th was just wild…let’s never repeat that
Someone take me to Torey Pines
I love Geno, “There’s an early flight I can get on”
I love Geno’s mom even more, how freaking cute is she that she keeps all that stuff
THE EMAIL, my whole heart
We will remember you, Joel
White Claw please sponsor Joel
Imagine trying to qualify for the US Open and then a tour player is your playing partner
Hey Tiktok influencers, Joel Dahmen has a Stanley water bottle, your work has paid off
Geno is the greatest hype man one could ever ask for
I have never had 1,207 text messages at once, EVER
Lona and Joel are so wholesome
American Dreams
Matt Fitzpatrick is the role model every kid needs - wears sunscreen, has braces, plays golf
I find myself rooting for Fitzpatrick like I don’t know the outcome of the PGA Championship
Well, we’ve learned that $74 million isn’t enough for DJ
“Playing less and making more money” - At least DJ is honest.
Mr. Wayne Gretysky Paulina is still mad at you for missing her birthday
The “Ice cream solves everything” sign has my whole heart
How can Matt not laugh when Dan asks him questions? I’d be dying laughing. It’s like hearing your friend's work voice, but way worse.
All the LIV guys are pissed to be asked LIV questions at Brookline, cry me a river
The smirk from Zalatoris when someone yelled “You’re in his head”
I know how this ends and I’m so on edge anyway
His caddie, his family, Rory, I can’t
I’m so emotional
Don’t Get Bitter, Get Better
Tony’s dad getting his sons into golf, aka the sport he calls “the dumbest game ever” turned out well
The Rory/Collin back-to-back hole outs on 18 were simply crazy
I love the insight into apparel meetings, I’d like to see more
Do the players who have the same sponsors fight over which clothes they where? What if two players both want to wear the same shirt on the same day? How does that work? Who gets priority and why?
St. Andrews is GORGE
“I had a pretty amazing mom” I'm crying
I cannot, Tony is too sweet for this world, we do not deserve him
The welcome-back posters are too much for my heart
Golf is Hard
Calling Mito Pereira at 27 years old - I feel personally attacked
I want to buy Sahith a laundry basket, does anyone have his address?
“I better not suck in front of all these people” Sahith at WM, me on a daily basis
Sahith’s Phys Ed teacher following him is too cute
Sahith’s family during the WMO
I couldn’t handle the screams on the 16th, the boos are too much
If you don’t hear mitochondria and think “powerhouse of the cell” we have to talk
“You’re my hero” I'm emotional
Mito’s fall during the PGA Championship truly was devastating to watch
Can’t believe Mito and Joaquin Niemann left to go to LIV
Everything Has Led to This
What I would do to be on a range with Lee Trevino and Jack Nicklaus
I know how this ends, but I still have hope Rory wins the 150th Open
Little Rory is too cute
Despite Tiger’s golf success, he is a complicated individual and that isn’t discussed enough
I love the small smirk Rory’s caddie gives him when he holes out from that deep bunker
Someone, please cut off Cam Smith’s hair
How much was a room at Rusacks Hotel during The Open?
The evasion from Cam Smith during the press conference was suspect at best
Please, I’m begging someone, cut his hair!
Yes to the girl who beat Rory!!
The players-only meeting is still so fascinating to me, it’s like the Avengers gathering
Where did the PGA Tour get the money to increase the purses?
“We’ve all just gotten a little soft” Rory with the truth
I love the group Physio
$18 million is crazyyyyyyyyy but if anyone deserves it, it is Rory
Scottie’s family is too cute
Rory is the leader the PGA Tour needs
