The Only Recap You Need Before Happy Gilmore 2

by

It’s been nearly three decades since the original “Happy Gilmore” movie hit the screens, so if you haven’t revisited Adam Sandler’s golf comedy classic or perhaps haven’t seen it at all, it might be a good idea to refresh your memory about its key plot points before the Netflix sequel arrives. That’s what we’re here for – check out the video above and this article that provides an overview of the original “Happy Gilmore,” how it concluded, and which storylines the new installment seems to be continuing.

Double-duty starring Adam Sandler, ‘Happy Gilmore’ is both Sandler’s finest work and a standout in the genre of sports comedies. The movie tells the tale of its namesake character (played by Sandler), a man who has always aspired to be a professional ice hockey player. Despite his lack of talent for the sport being evident to everyone but Happy himself, he never considers an alternative plan. However, when his grandmother faces financial troubles that could lead to her losing her house, Happy stumbles upon a side hustle – impressing people with his ability to drive a golf ball far. This skill is noticed by retired pro golfer Chubbs Peterson (portrayed by Carl Weathers), who reveals to Happy the potential earnings from playing golf and offers to train him. Thus begins Happy’s prolonged, hesitant transition from chasing a hockey career to golf.

In a contrasting manner, Happy’s boisterous and extroverted personality, often associated with wild parties, creates friction with the tranquil, refined, and dignified ambiance typically found in professional golf. However, as Happy gains popularity for his eccentric behavior and impressive driving skills, he attracts a larger, more youthful fan base to the sport. Even those within the golf community who may not approve of Happy’s rockstar demeanor or his followers can’t help but acknowledge the positive impact it has had on the sport, as it boosts ratings and generates more revenue.

In a confident manner, the shooter believes he won’t lose to Happy and swiftly agrees to the proposal. However, in an unexpected turn of events, Happy deals a massive upset by defeating the shooter in the major tournament, claiming the prestigious gold jacket – an award that has eluded the shooter thus far. On July 25, 2025, when “Happy Gilmore 2” is released as the long-awaited sequel, we’ll witness Happy making a comeback to golf after apparently retiring, providing the shooter with an opportunity to finally best him.
