‘Hope This Isn’t a Joke’: Golf Fans Goes Wild as Happy Gilmore Confirmed to Get a Reboot

After a long wait and countless requests for a sequel to ‘Happy Gilmore’, Christopher McDonald has finally revealed the news that the fans are indeed getting one! Exciting news, isn’t it? According to Shooter McGavin, the second part of this comedic classic is on its way to the 3D world.

In the latest episode of The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima, McDonald opened up about the reboot of the classic movie and shed some light on his meeting with Adam Sandler. “I saw Adam about two weeks ago, and he says, ‘McDonald, you’re going to love this… How about that?’ And he goes and shows me the first draft of Happy Gilmore 2,” said the golfer turned actor.

At first, McDonald had hard time believing it, and thought the Sandler was lying. But once he saw the draft, he was in awe, said “wow, that would be awesome. So it’s it’s in it’s in the works fans have demanded.”

McDonald, also known as Shooter McGavin, is a former No. 1 golfer who showcased his acting talents in Happy Gilmore and was absolutely adored by the fans. Released on February 16, 1996, the Adam Sandler movie was about a failed hockey player who wanted to save his grandmother’s house and approached golf with his unique game style. The movie was directed by Dennis Dugan and has been very popular among golf fans since its release.

Now that the beans have been spilled all over, fans loving it, and are absolutely unable to contain their excitement.
