As I was enjoying the breezy delights of the unabashedly sentimental and consistently funny Apple TV+ golf comedy/drama series “Stick,” I couldn’t help but think of Ron Shelton’s 1996 “Tin Cup,” the best movie ever set on the links. In broad strokes (pun unavoidable), the parallels are clear: In the film, Kevin Costner’s Roy “Tin Cup” McAvoy is a former golf prodigy who imploded on the course and has been reduced to swilling Shiner Bock beer and operating a broken-down driving range in West Texas.
