As a golf fanatic, I was skeptical about ‘Stick’ — but the new Apple TV Plus show won me over

Apple TV Plus has entered the golf world. It didn’t follow in Netflix’s footsteps with a documentary like “Full Swing,” though. Instead, it carved a similar path to its breakout soccer hit “Ted Lasso” with the Owen Wilson-led “Stick.”

I’ve had a chance to watch the entire first season of “Stick.” As someone who’s addicted to golf, I had to pull myself away from the course for a weekend to watch the 10-episode half-hour sports comedy — which is easier said than done when you live in New England and only get so many decent weather weekends to play.
