Full Swing, the third season could further amaze golf fans, considering that the previous two seasons caused delight, not only among golf fans, but also among those who have never had contact with this sport. Netflix has done the right thing, promoting golf in a truly impressive way.
The main actors of the new season will be well-known faces of this sport, with Rory McIlroy as the person who stands out the most. During one of the episodes, the Northern Irish golfer spoke openly about growing up, playing golf, and role models on his path.
Watching sports with his father, Rory became addicted to golf, and enjoyed watching VHS tapes of some of the golf matches almost every day.
I grew up in Northern Ireland, and my Dad was a huge golf fan. It has always been a theme in my life. I would watch golf with him on TV. He bought me this VHS video tape back in the day, and it was Nick Faldos junior masterclass. Any time he needed me to be quiet, he would just put that in the video player, and I would just sit and watch that for hours, McIlroy said, as reported by The Golfing Gazette.
Rory McIlroy on Tiger Woods: He still is my hero
Although he was obsessed with golf even as a kid, the arrival of Tiger Woods in this sport further deepened McIlroy's interest in this sport. Rory also said that Tiger was his role model growing up, and despite being in a different time zone, he used every moment to watch his matches.
I was obsessed with golf at that point anyway, but when Tiger came on, it took it to a new level. I just remember watching Tiger play golf, and it would have been on Sunday nights back home for us because of the time difference. He still is my hero. To a lot of people, he is golf, and I feel very fortunate for the relationship that we have, but ever since then, all I wanted to do was try and be like him.- he concluded.
