Full Swing Season 3 hit our screens this week as Netflix released the third iteration of its popular golf-centred docuseries.
While not as riveting as Season 1 or Season 2, it still offered plenty of insight into life on the PGA Tour and behind-the-scenes access at the Majors, including The Masters.
It’s always fascinating to see parts of Augusta National that are normally withheld from public view and footage of things like the Crow’s Nest.

The players featured in Full Swing Season 3 are fantastic to watch on the course, but not so entertaining off it.
Ted Scott has the best job in the world
It’s Ted Scott’s world and we’re just living in it. After a very successful stint with Bubba Watson, the duo parted ways. Scott then reveals how Scottie Scheffler called him about taking over his bag and Scott had concerns because of… Scottie’s temper!
We then see some archive footage of Scheffler berating himself during his rooking season. If he’d have known how Scottie would turn out, he’d have begged him for the job. Not only is…
