There were some great storylines and some surprising characters I will now have an affiliation for, and although entertaining and a light watch in terms of the chaotic year that was, this scribbler didn't take away much more than that.

As with season one, a slow start is saved by an excellent finish, but the constant jumping two-and-forth from significant events like the U.S Open and PGA Championship became slightly confusing throughout the series. At times, I thought I was rewatching previous episodes.

As golf fans would remember, we got tipped off in June last year that cameras were rolling when the shock announcement of the merger between the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund (PIF) and the PGA and DP World Tours took the golf world and X (the app formerly known as Twitter) by storm.

But it became clear there were and still are only a few people on the planet who know precisely what is going on behind the closed doors of the merger, and it appears that Netflix isn't one of them. Although during the first two episodes, we got to look deeper into Jay Monahan behind the scenes and his relationship with Rory McIlroy, I wouldn't expect to be enlightened more than you already were about the actual state of play here.

Throughout the middle episodes, the storyline became more focused on individuals, with season one favourites Joel Dahmen and his lovable caddie, Geno Bonnalie, being a key aspect again. It was interesting to see how life had changed for the pair after season one, with Joel becoming a father and struggling to back up his overnight fame with good results on the golf course and Geno trying his best to get Joel to see a sports psychologist and regain some self-belief. The insight into this relationship is highly wholesome; in particular, a candid conversation between the pair on a flight easily provides the series' most emotional and heartfelt moment.

Fan favourite Rickie Fowler resurging to prominence and winning again is well documented by the Netflix crew – similar to Brooks Koepka in season one. They highlight the massive struggles and humanise the man you see on TV. This was well done.

Without giving too much away, there will be a handful of individuals that you may not have known much about who will emerge as big winners from the series.

U.S Open Champion Wyndham Clark is one. A guy who has walked a tough road and couldn't control his emotions on the golf course finds a helping hand on how to do so and reaps the rewards.

Tom Kim shows why he is a lovable character and displays the traits of a proper warrior.

Alex Fitzpatrick – Matt's younger brother – touches on how hard it is to forge your path in the game, let alone live in your major-winning brother's shadow. He has something about him that makes you think he is going to be a top-quality player, and he certainly shows that when his run at the Open Championship is illustrated.

The closing episodes documenting the Ryder Cup at Marco Simone in Italy are great to watch, and yes, the famous hat saga and the altercation between Rory McIlroy and Joe LaCava are vital focuses. The suspense and lead-up to the biannual event follows captains Zach Johnson (USA) and Luke Donald (Europe) as they select their sides. Cameras were rolling when some of the players were receiving the news that they are getting on the plane to Rome and it is refreshing to see how much it means to them. On the other hand, players getting the bad news is always tough to watch, but a good look into the cutthroat nature of professional sport.

I found myself reflecting on Europe's utter domination of the Americans after watching Full Swing, and this writer's main takeaways were:

The writing appeared to be on the wall instantly. I'm not saying this is the case, but going behind the scenes it looked like it meant more to the European side.

I knew McIlroy was a great leader, but Full Swing demonstrated how much of an impact he had on his teammates.

I would go to war with Shane Lowry. Being in a team room with him would make me so much more confident.

The hat saga was so stupid, and Patrick Cantlay aimed up while staring adversity in the eyes. One of the few shining lights golf-wise wearing the star-spangled banner.

Finally, LaCava was in the wrong even more than I thought he was.

There is plenty of fantastic content in Full Swing. You get to know some individuals more and see the vulnerability of human nature. The Ryder Cup episodes to close were a personal highlight. The series is just hindered by a lack of depth in the beginning and the constant jumping back and forth between tournaments, providing some head-scratching moments. Ultimately, I found nothing too revolutionary, but it was entertaining nonetheless.
