Earier today, comedian and actor Adam Sandler took to social media to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Happy Gilmore with a recreation of the title hero’s famous golf shot from the 1996 comedy hit. All this time later, Happy Gilmore remains one of Sandler’s most beloved films – so much so that even the bad guys wanted in on the action. When Sandler took his shot, he dedicated it to Shooter McGavin, his onscreen rival played by Christopher McDonald. Not to be outdone, McDonald shared his own video in response to Sandler’s, making this one of the lowest-key digital movie reunions of the COVID era and hammering home a point Shooter would approve of: “drive for the show, putt for the dough.”
Happy loves you all! Thanks for everything! pic.twitter.com/p1aY9JcFWh

That’s a beautiful swing Mr. Gilmore. Congrats on your anniversary, and being such a loving grandson. So happy to be a small part of taking good care of her during her “golden years”. 😉
Loving grandson? That deadbeat Gilmore didn’t even have a job and couldn’t even house the person who helped raise him. I treated Grandma way better than Happy ever did. Even offered Grandma a maid position. People forget that. https://t.co/jfrCMqKGqF
You’re dead to me SUBWAY. Bailed Gilmore out after he assaulted Bob Barker. Who won that fight anyway? @AdamSandler https://t.co/2603acrL9a
