Stick: Owen Wilson's charmingly funny golf drama is as feelgood as Ted Lasso
Briefly

Stick, an Apple TV+ series starring Owen Wilson as Pryce Cahill, depicts a former pro golfer who discovers a teenage prodigy while coaching retirees. The show promises a light-hearted approach, avoiding the grit of other sports dramas like Friday Night Lights in favor of humor and gentle humanity. As Pryce and young Santi embark on a road trip between tournaments, themes of emotional growth and connection emerge, all captured in a feel-good format that parallels the optimistic spirit of Ted Lasso, with clever sporting metaphors enriching the narrative.
The show is distinctly humorous and humane, aiming to capture a feel-good essence reminiscent of Ted Lasso, but through the lens of golf and personal growth.
Stick’s narrative follows Owen Wilson’s Pryce, a former pro golfer, as he finds a prodigious teenager, offering insights into coaching, growth, and deeper emotional experiences.
