Adam Sandler Wants to Make a Happy Gilmore Sequel
Happy Gilmore celebrated its 25th anniversary a few weeks ago and it looks like Adam Sandler hasn’t stopped thinking about the 1996 comedy classic since then. In a new interview, the actor revealed that he wants to make a Happy Gilmore sequel that centers around a senior golf tournament. It sounds like a great idea; fingers crossed Sandler can tap, tap, tap it in. During Wednesday’s episode of The Dan Patrick Show on The Golf Channel, Sandler and Christopher McDonald — the two of whom played the titular hockey-turned-golf star and the perfect comedy villain, respectively, in the original movie — opened up about whether or not there have been any attempts to film a new Happy Gilmore-related project.

Editor’s Note: This op-ed originally ran in 2016 for the 20th anniversary of Happy Gilmore. Today, we’ve dusted it off for the 25th anniversary of the Adam Sandler blockbuster. So, grab your clubs, your gold jacket, and meet us in the sand. Happy Gilmore is basically perfect. Disagree with me? That’s your right, but I’m going to stab you with this skate. There’s a lot that makes Happy Gilmore, Adam Sandler’s 1996 golf-idiot-savant comedy, so wonderful. Part of it is that it’s almost gleefully simple: failed hockey player discovers that his lousy slap shot could be good for golf and uses his newfound power to save Grandma’s house in a battle of homegrown hero versus rich prick. Part of it is that it’s just funny, made before Sandler started to exhaust his schlumpy charms. But more than anyt...
