Golf comedy? Interesting choice. Hope they don't make it too American-centric. Would be nice to see some diverse characters or references that global audiences can relate to.

The cast looks amazing! Molly Shannon and Chris Parnell are brilliant supporting actors. This might be the next big comedy series after The Office. Weekend binge-watch sorted! 😄

As someone who doesn't know much about golf, I hope the humor is accessible to everyone. Will Ferrell usually delivers though - fingers crossed! 🤞

Blades of Glory was hilarious! If they can capture that same energy with golf, this will be epic. Perfect light-hearted entertainment for family viewing.

The production team looks solid with Rian Johnson involved. Hope the writing is as good as the cast. 10 episodes seems perfect - not too long, not too short.
