While promoting his new golf comedy series, Owen Wilson reveals the funniest golf meltdown he's ever seen while playing the game with brother Luke.
The theme song to the AppleTV+ golf series "Stick" is so infectiously good that the ditty is the soundtrack to Zac Efron's viral shirtless golf outing.
The actor and his brother, Dylan Efron, showed off impressive swings -- and serious abs -- in the golfing video posted to Dylan's TikTok and Instagram Reels accounts on July 22 with the simple comment: "Sticks." The comment referred to the series "Stick," which features the theme song, "And It's Gone." The Efron brothers are feeling the song that plays in the video.
"Stick" stars Owen Wilson as one-time golf phenom Pryce Cahill, who overcomes personal trauma to make a comeback as a mentor. Executive producer Jason Keller told USA TODAY that he struggled to find the perfect song to reflect Cahill's "vibe" of optimism, pain, and renewal for the series (which is now streaming its Season 1 finale).
"I was looking for the right feeling, but I just couldn't find it," said Keller, who stumbled across the Ohio-based folk band Caamp during the search. "I knew immediately they were the perfect fit for the show. I've since learned they are a very popular band."
Keller asked Caamp lead singer Taylor Meier, who happens to be an avid golfer, to compose the "Stick" theme song.
"I had to kind of talk him into it. I think he wanted nothing to do with me," Keller admitted. "But I asked him to read the scripts and kept talking to him about what I was hoping for."
Keller was working on the golf set when he received a sound file and a text from Meier.
"He wrote, 'Try this. Is this what you're looking for? And it was that song,'" Keller continued. "I played it out loud for everyone while we were shooting the show. It was perfect right out of the gate."
What's the theme song from 'Sticks'?
Caamp recorded "And It's Gone" while making the band's recently released fifth studio album, "Copper Changes Color." The album debuted on Spotify's Top 10 Albums: Debut USA. The band is on its first headlining tour in three years with back-to-back sold-out shows at New York City's Radio Music Hall (Sept. 12 and 13).
You can stream "And It's Gone" here. Note: The song title has nothing to do with whatever happened to Zac Efron's shirt on the golf course.
