Golf Lovers United: Discussing Golf, the Fair Way

Summary

In this episode of the Golf Lovers United podcast, Golf Lover UK and Red Harrington discuss the current state of Live Golf and its access to major championships, expressing frustrations over the limited opportunities for players. They also review the Netflix series 'Full Swing', critiquing its narrative and presentation style, and share thoughts on the future of TGL and team golf. The conversation wraps up with listener engagement and reflections on the golf community.

Takeaways

• The limited access for LIV players to major championships is frustrating.
• BUT are LIV players really taking advantage of the opportunites they do have.
• 'Full Swing' presents a narrative that feels curated and sometimes disingenuous.
• The series focuses heavily on younger players to prevent them from being swayed by LIV Golf.
• TGL is seen as a fun addition to the golf calendar, but its technology has been criticized.
• The podcast hosts express a desire for more genuine content in golf media.
• Brooks Koepka's presence at TGL is due to his investment, not a sign of leaving LIV Golf.
