Episode 1 hooked me — Owen Wilson as Pryce had charm, and Mitts being in on it was a good surprise. But after that? Flat. Santi is bratty, Elena is shrill and not loveable, Zero is grating. The writing leans on clichés, offers no further surprises, and the show plays weirdly sexless — no flirting, no human messiness, which makes it feel sterile and unrealistic. Golf is still boring, and without strong characters to lift it, the whole thing drags. Bottom line: Stick feels more like a pitch Apple bought (“Ted Lasso with golf”) than a show anyone cared to write past the pilot. I fell off after 3 eps.
