29 years later, Adam Sandler is back as Happy in the sequel to 1996’s Happy Gilmore 2. In this movie, Happy is a decorated retired golfer after winning his first Tour Championship, who lives with his four sons and a daughter. However, when things get tough, he gets lured back into golf. But this time, he is dedicated and motivated to revive the sport.
