I only lasted this long because Owen Wilson's onscreen charisma and likability, but even that isn't enough to keep me around anymore.

The show actually started off well. A total Ted Lasso feel but for golf. Enjoyable. The mother/son combo carried some attitude and annoyance that I expected to simmer down as each episode progressed, but it honestly gets so much worse. The mother comes around a little, but the son gets FAR worse and the show introduces the most INSUFFERABLE character in existence as the love interest / caddy.

Overall, the mother/son and girlfriend just ruined the show for me. They're the most unlikable, ungrateful, disrespectful, self-entitled bunch I've seen in a show... maybe ever... and it really just makes the show impossible to watch.

This movie has the bones of a Hollywood blockbuster like a mashup of Indiana Jones, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Mist, and The Maze Runner. The production value is quite impressive and it boasts some star power with the two leads. The movie starts off good, but did have a stretch where I found myself getting bored. However, it did set the tone for intrigue and mystery pretty well. The second half of the movie had great action, but felt entirely too rushed. If they would have rebalanced the first and second halves of the movie, I might have enjoyed it more. The action was good though. The one part I didn't enjoy was the ending. They spent almost two hours developing the plot only to quickly wrap it up in a 10'ish minute sequence that was not only predictable, but offered little to no suspense. It's practically a "blink and you'll miss it" ending.

All in all, it's a fun movie to watch once, but once was enough.
