<p>Hosts Shane Ryan, Sam Weinman, and Alex Myers haven’t agreed on everything about Netflix’s new golf show, Full Swing, but they agree that the show’s fourth episode on journeyman Joel Dahmen was the best yet. In our limited-run podcast series recapping every episode, we explain why Dahmen’s incredible journey through professional golf and his relatable demeanor made for compelling television. Among the favorite parts discussed in detail: Dahmen relaying the crushing loss of his mother to cancer, his own cancer scare, his bond with his caddie Geno Bonnalie, and his unlikely run to a career-best finish in the U.S. Open. This was our favorite episode, and as such, we loved diving into every part of it.</p><p>Check out Shane's recap of the episode <a href="https://www.golfdigest.com/story/full-swing-netflix-episode-4-recap-joel-dahmen-shines-best-episode-yet">here</a>.</p>
