I'm Rebecca Lervoy and this is You Can't make this up as the podcast where we uncover the true stories behind

your favorite Netflix documentaries and films.

On today's episode we take a closer look at the Netflix

documentary series full swing. People think golf's the gentleman sport but it's

a competition at the end of the day.

I'm not there to come a second. I'm not there just to participate.

They want to step on my throw, I want to step on theirs.

Today we're talking to executive producer Paul Martin.

Money, Fame, Legacy, all are constantly on the line for the professional golfers on the PGA Tour.

But navigating the personal and professional hazards off the course are just as challenging.

Whether your best friends trying to outdo each other in the rankings, a veteran whose time on the tour is growing short, or an up-and-comer

who's one victory away from leaving the middle of the pack, legends rise and fall every weekend.

Then an existential threat to the PGA itself,

a controversial new golf league siphoning players

with the lure of a giant paycheck.

Full swing gives viewers a chance to get to know the players

through their wins and losses

and witness what it takes to compete at the highest level in men's professional golf.

These guys are here to win.

That's what they want to do,

but it is so hard to win on the PGA tour. And I'm joined now by Executive Producer Paul Martin.

Paul, welcome to you can't make this up.
