In Happy Gilmore, the golf clubs used by Adam Sandler’s character are considered “antique” because they are an outdated, mismatched set that lack the sleek design and advanced technology of modern golf equipment. This reflects Happy’s inexperience and unconventional approach to the sport, as he starts his journey with no formal golf training and a hockey stick putter. The clubs serve as a humorous contrast to the high-end gear used by professional golfers, emphasizing Happy’s underdog status and adding to the comedic tone of the film.
