Full Swing

“Full Swing” is so compelling and well-filmed (and edited), and is brimming with so many intriguing storylines, even a casual golf fan like me can find it absolutely binge-worthy. My guess is the regular weekend golfer who also avidly follows the game will find it addictively watchable.

Whether you’re a seasoned golf fan or someone who only has a vague awareness of the sport’s existence, Full Swing is a great way to latch onto the inherent drama behind the competition.

It is understandable if the filmmakers didn't want to lose their access to the more intemperate players, but the really probing questions are out there hanging, like a long, long drive that's heading toward the woods. "Full Swing" wants to be entertaining, and often is. But in its timidity, it has dug its own sand trap.
