An excellent film which Sandler is superbly funny as a rubbish ice hockey player who can hit a puck harder than anyone has ever seen.
Realising he is never going to be a professional hockey player, he eventually bets his house movers that he can hit a golf ball further than they can, even though he hates golf and has never played before. He then realises that he could make a bit of money betting at this and heads off down the driving range.
There he is spotted by a one armed "apollo creed" who encourages him to take up golf. Only when he has joined a tournament does he realise that he cant put to save his life.
The film produces some very funny performances from some past acting favorites as well as some Sandler regulars.
If you read the review on the back of the DVD which says "the best golfing video since Caddyshack", as i did, don't get put off if you didn't like caddyshack because it is by far superior.

If you add to this, or if you change it to be posted as a "Film Only" review, which can be done by accessing "edit review" in the top right of the review and changing the drop down menu under the "Which format are you reviewing?" question at the bottom, please let me know and I'll re-rate.
