Owen Wilson plays Pryce Cahill , a former pro golfer whose tantrum at a key tournament cost him his career.

Despite comparisons to Sudeikis ' performance as Ted Lasso , Wilson manages to make the role of "sweet coach" his own.

The show's ensemble includes Marc Maron , Peter Dager , Mariana Treviño and Lilli Kay .

The series is an otherwise heartwarming take on found family that managed to make me, a golf hater, actually care about the sport.

The show is thoughtful in its exploration of grief and mental health, with golf acting as a solid metaphor for how Pryce , Santi and their friends move through troubling times.
