A behind-the-scenes look at the lives and training regimens of some of the world’s top golfers.

The documentary begins by introducing the Liv Golf Invitational and its founder, Ana Ivanovic, a former professional tennis player. Ivanovic outlines her vision for the tour, which aims to offer female golfers an equal platform to what their male counterparts have had for a long time. From there, we meet the four golfers at the center of the series: McIlroy, Mickelson, Reed, and Dahmen.

In “Full Swing,” McIlroy, a globally recognized golfer, having won four major championships, is portrayed as a persistent worker determined to enhance his game continually. The documentary shows him studying footage of his swing with his coach in one sequence, attempting to pinpoint areas where he can make improvements.

Mickelson, meanwhile, is a golf legend who’s won five major championships over the course of his career. He’s also one of the game’s biggest personalities, known for his daring shot-making and quick wit. In “Full Swing,” we get to see him in action on the course, as well as in more relaxed moments, like when he’s hanging out with his family at home.

In “Full Swing,” Reed, who is often regarded as a polarizing figure in golf, is portrayed differently. Although he’s a fiercely competitive player, the documentary highlights another aspect of his personality – that of a devoted family man. As he navigates the demands of the tour, he also prioritizes his responsibilities as a husband and father.

Finally, there’s Dahmen, a relatively unknown player who’s trying to make a name for himself on the tour. He’s a bit of an underdog, but he’s also a guy with a lot of heart and a deep love for the game. In “Full Swing,” we see him working with his coach to hone his skills and gain an edge over his more established competitors.

“Full Swing” provides viewers with both breathtaking golf shots and glimpses into the lives of top-tier athletes, revealing the physical and mental challenges they face. Additionally, the documentary reflects the sport’s changing face, with the Liv Golf tour offering a more modern, accessible version of the game. It departs from golf’s stuffy, exclusive image, making it more appealing to a new generation of fans.

“Full Swing” also addresses gender and diversity in golf, showcasing Liv Golf’s response to the lack of opportunities for women and the challenges female golfers face in earning a fair wage. The series also features players from diverse cultural backgrounds, highlighting the sport’s inclusivity.It’s an interesting watch for both golf enthusiasts and casual viewers alike, providing insight into some of the sport’s biggest names while showcasing golf’s continuing appeal.
