What was 'Happy Gilmore' about?
Happy Gilmore has always dreamed of becoming a hockey player. Although he has a powerful slapshot, his inability to skate and unpredictable behavior prevent him from being accepted by any team. Meanwhile, his grandmother faces eviction due to unpaid taxes. After experimenting with golf clubs and discovering he can hit golf balls long distances, Happy decides to join the PGA Tour to raise money and save his grandmother's house. His rebellious image gains him a devoted following, but it also draws the attention of Shooter McGavin, the top contender for the PGA Tour, who fears Happy’s rising popularity could jeopardize his chances of winning.
