On the 25th anniversary of “Happy Gilmore,” Adam Sandler proved he still had it.

In the film he portrayed Sandler as Happy Gilmore, an aspiring hockey player who never arrived and instead stumbled upon golf. He develops a rivalry with Shooter McGavin, a safe golf professional, played by Christopher McDonald. And, of course, Shooter would not remain silent after being called by Happy.

Sandler’s swing has been imitated by hackers (and even some professionals) for years and years. Of course, some of the other classic lines, like when a putt doesn’t fall, screaming, like Sandler did, “Why don’t you come home? This is your house. Are you too good for your house? I answer! “have been repeated over and over again … and again.
Ben Stiller, who was making an angry order at the nursing home where Happy’s grandmother lived, jumped in to help commemorate the big day.
This is a beautiful swing, Mr. Gilmore. Congratulations on your birthday and for being such a loving grandson. So happy to be a small part of taking good care of her during her “golden years”. 😉
