With most golf courses closed across the world due to covid, Twitter erupted in laughter over one particular golf movie. The iconic 90s Adam Sandler film “Happy Gilmore” celebrated its 25th anniversary today.
What better way to celebrate the day than a Happy and Shooter showdown. The hit movie was released in 1996 with both golfers and movie fans alike, gaining legendary status. Adam Sandler took to social media posting a video on Twitter attempting his character’s iconic long drive.
“Ok, it’s been 25 years since I’ve done this,’ Sandler said in the video.
Let’s see what happens. I’m scared. Shooter McGavin, this is for you.
And I’m not lying to you, that is smashed.
Smashed and that went pretty well. You’re dead, Shooter.”
