Far less than the sum of it's parts
jamesdoree18 November 2023
Amazingly Netflix managed to combine two great sports Golf and F1 Racing and produce something not even worth the time it takes to watch. To give you a short summary, think driving a buggy as fast as you can for 50 meters, then golfers trying to simultaneously hit their ball into the hole at the exact same time. Destroying the green and walking through each other's lines. There is no skill involved. I'm pretty sure my grandma could compete with an F1 driver who is driving a low powered buggy in a straight line for less than 50 meters.

The most impressive part of this show is that producers managed to get it over the line. I can't even imagine the conversation or sales pitch housed to convince, people from Netflix, the PGA and F1 to attach their name to something so idiotic. Huge lack of judgement on everyone's part.

It was a chaotic fun

Am not a golf fan but I would watch golf if it was this fast and hosted by comedians. Thanks Bert!

Netflix should: . Improve the Mic-ing ... 10 ppl talking at the same time is hard to follow . Keep the fun stuff like the speed hole . Use more ball-tracking graphic . Maybe use colored balls so we can see which ball is whose . Help viewers to understand what is a "mulligan" or a "shank"

I think JT "coaching" Carlos Sainz was good TV - especially because Saint was a fast learner.

Love the Vegas Sphere and the black and red Netflix cup.

If you want just a light hearted golf tournament, I highly recommend this episode.
