Golf documentaries

We’ve had the Chicago bulls documentary, the Man City documentary and the infamous Sunderland till I die, but what golf documentary would you like to see made? And are there any that have been made that you’d recommend to watch?

There have been a few out on Sky Golf and Sky documentaries including Tiger Woods: Back and Loopers the story of the caddy. Both a reasonable watch although the Woods one was a little padded out with the same footage repeated over. Seve was my all time hero and I'd love to see a real in depth documentary on him with input from hie tour peers and also his RC team mates and especially those who played under him as RC captain

Brian Moore with Seve on ITV Hub is good.

I've seen that but I'd something with far more depth, especially something around his RC career and captaincy but also love to hear from the likes of Faldo, Woosnam and his ET peers to hear what he was really like in tour

Theres a good one on Netflix, the short game it's called about elite junior golfers worth a watch two of the girls from the doc are doing really well

Save yourself two hours of your life and don't watch the Tiger Woods Back documentary, it's garbage.

You mean like this one?

There's a four hour one available at Royal Ascot about the struggles of a mid-handicapper to play decent golf. It's called "pairing up with Homer"

The Tiger Woods one is probably ok if you're a casual viewer of golf, but for most of us I imagine it is really just a highlights package, and most of it we have seen before. The fact they glossed over the sex addiction stuff was so predictable, but pretty poor.

I'm not a baseball fan, but one of the best sports docs I've seen is The Battered B*stards of Baseball, on Netflix. And the previously mentioned Last Dance is also superb.

I saw a great one once about a former rejected ice hockey player who had to turn to professional golf to help pay for his Grandmother's house which was being repossessed. It turns out he has an absolutely huge drive but the rest of his game needs work. I forget the name of it now.
