Shooter is a savvy investor and a smart businessman. This wasn't personal. It was a good purchase at a bargain.

She looked hot in the black (with the beer), but the white and wet look was a winner as well!

Shooter was an old fuddy duddy who couldn't adapt to the changing golf world. I bet he and those who support him would be great friends with that racist douche Phillies manager from 42.

Happy also cheated his arse off in the final round as well. He took 8 swings to get out of the rough alone on hole 16, and he carded only a bogie 5. Should have been at least a 15 on that hole, putting him out of contention

I brought this up the other day. Are you talking about when he just hacks in the rough and knocks it in the water? Then he and homeless caddie throw rocks in it? That was on the front nine I believe. He then talks to Grandma, she wants him to be happy, he hallucinates and sees Chubbs (who got his hand back and is a phenomenal piano player with both hands in the air), then wrecks on the back nine.

If anyone is the protagonist of Happy Gilmore, it's Lee Trevino.

All Lee wants to do is play golf and putt-putt in a peaceful enviroment, and correct the misinformed about Grizzly Adam's beard. What don't you people get?

A bold psychological tactic that backfired. In fact, if not for Julie Bowen, it would have totally worked.

Ok so I got the hole wrong. However, if you notice, his score only goes down one stroke after this. So he carded a 5. He should have the tee shot(1), 7hacks in the rough(8), touching the ball with his hand-two stroke penalty(10), penalty after dropping from water(12), hit onto the green(13), two putt(15). So happy should have carded a 15 where he carded a 5. That is the most egregious cheat in golf history

Just stunning.

I actually think she was better looking when she had some meat on her bones.

Don't get me wrong...she's still a babe. But she's borderline too skinny.

She's a smoke show in the mom role, but you can see she's too skinny when she goes to awards shows and starts showing some skin.

There's a bunch on here with some hella strong arguments that mox is actually the antagonist in varsity blues. I wish I could find some of those posts, they're gold.


I'm the banner waiver for that. Once you go through the details its pretty easy to see that Mox is the villain of Varsity Blues...not the villain.

Did Chubbs have a contract?

Why did he invest so much time in helping Happy only for Happy to basically kill him?

Happy put his grandma in Hell, killed Chubbs, probably stiffed everyone financially and then stole Shooter's year on the tour.

It's plausible that Happy is just that lucky loser who doesn't deserve any of his rewards.

Yeah...and his big date night out is Subway...

Face it, Happy is a loser and as a hockey "player" who simply loves to fight...a selfish reactionary high school drop-out bully who is hanging with professional golfers (of which he has no real credentials to do so) and he wants to ditch the professional comradeship and meeting your fellow professionals over an adult beverage and conversation to go play Asteroids.

Asteroids! What kind of man-child wants to play freakin' Asteroids in 1995????

It's the hero worship of the inept man-child genre.
