‘Stick’ Season 1 was running behind in the character development and the golf-centered theme. However, by the end of the season, many positive changes can be observed in the characters and the story. Moreover, the character development of Pryce Cahill and Santi Wheeler is seen clearly by the end of Season 1. The bond between the father and son has not eased, as Gary (Santi’s father) didn’t support his son emotionally. Moreover, it is expected that the next season will introduce a new golf player who will compete against the professional ones. Other than that, Santi has lost the tournament at the last, while Pryce will most likely restart his passion for golf. The most anticipated relationship between Mitts and Elena is now official by the end of Season 1.
Therefore, we can say that by the end, many of the missing pieces were joined by the makers. The last episode represented the golf-centric theme that the audience were waiting for.
Will Pryce Cahill continue his Golf Career in the next season?
As mentioned, Stick Season 1 was emotionally centered on Santi’s life and the making of his career in Golf. However, the ending has sparked a new enthusiasm in Pryce for Golf, which may indicate his return to the PGA tour in Season 2. Cahill’s career in Golf ended at the Sawgrass Invitational in 2009, but he was determined to get back into the tournaments. This emotion has given a clue about what the makers are about to do in Season 2.
In his past glimpses, Pryce Cahill’s golf skills were observed while he tackled Clark Ross in the golf arena. Moreover, he never really lost his skills in Golf, as years later he was still a pro guy in sports. Santi could only comment ‘Holy shit’ on his shot, which proves that he was still a pro. It is true when people say, ‘True Love never really dies, it stays within us forever.’ This is true for Pryce, as he never really hated Golf even after all the things he went through.
Will Santi get into the PGA Tour?
Even though Santi lost the tournament, his final shots of the game had shocked everyone. He lost the tournament by 4 points, but he won it anyway with his outstanding shots, especially the 18th. As an amateur, hitting the eagle with a streak of two is not something one can ignore. However, the audience who don’t know the basics of Golf are celebrating his loss in the game. The series was golf-centric because it consisted of many technicalities that only a golf player could understand. Moreover, people should respect the efforts and the condition of the characters and their skills.
Thus, even if he didn’t win, his skills impressed the ‘golf’ audience and became a social media star. Therefore, his not winning doesn’t matter much when he won the hearts of people.
Gary’s behavior with Santi at the end of Stick Season 1
Gary was the main reason why Santi lost the tournament and didn’t make it to the PGA Tour. As a father, he should have motivated his son to play better after his initial mess-up. However, as his nature was, he abused Santi for not meeting his expectations in Golf. When the game is under such pressure, a person wants a soothing hand on their head. He would wish someone would tell him that he is doing great in the game and they are proud of them. However, Gary did the exact opposite by crushing his last nerve of self-confidence. Afterwards, his mental state didn’t allow him to concentrate on the four holes of the game.
Gary never saw his son as a human. He saw a person whom he abused emotionally, verbally, and physically. Moreover, Santi was his puppet to gain fame and a life with a professional golfer, but never his son. He was never an ideal figure for a parent because he never really loved his son as a child.
Conclusion
The initial mess of the series ‘Stick’ has been covered up by the makers in the later episodes. Moreover, the next season is expected to bring more golf-related scenes, while Pryce and Santi are predicted to compete against each other in Golf.
