Happy Gilmore is one of my many favourite comedies and it is one of Adam Sandler’s first films. In this he plays a wannabe Ice-Hockey player who has got a mean slap shot, but cannot skate to save his life, and therefore never gets picked at the tryouts. One day, by chance, he gets a hold of a golf club and manages to drive a ball 400 yards, gets spotted by a golf pro who wants to teach him and enters a competition which gets him into the pro golf tour. The story goes on from here with Happy bringing his ferocious temper and outlandish behaviour into the otherwise gentleman-like sport, proving to be a laugh a minute and well worth watching.
