Happy Gilmore

Happy Gilmore, played by Adam Sandler, dreams of becoming a professional ice hockey player. Despite his powerful slap-shot inherited from his father, his lack of skating skills and aggressive behavior constantly sabotage his efforts to join a hockey team.

Happy learns that his beloved grandmother is in deep trouble with the IRS, accumulating a debt of $270,000. With three months to secure the funds, he faces the reality that her home is set to be seized, escalating his desperation.

In the wake of the tax issues, Happy's grandmother is forced to move into a retirement home managed by the cruel Hal. This event serves as further motivation for Happy to find a way to save their family home.

While helping with the move, Happy impresses movers by hitting golf balls over 400 yards using his slap-shot technique. This unexpected revelation sparks the idea for Happy to pursue golf as a means to earn money to save his grandmother’s house.

Happy meets Chubbs Peterson, a former golf champion, who recognizes Happy's unique talent. Chubbs encourages Happy to enter a local tournament to earn the money needed for his grandma’s house.

Happy wins the local golf tournament, which earns him a spot on the Pro Golf Tour. Ignoring Chubbs’ advice to refine his skills first, Happy dives headfirst into competitive golf, quickly attracting attention.

Upon entering the Pro Golf Tour, Happy makes an enemy of the arrogant Shooter McGavin. Shooter views Happy as a serious threat to his status and starts working to sabotage Happy’s success.

During a tournament, Happy’s antics paired with an event featuring Bob Barker lead to a chaotic altercation. Provoked by Shooter's hired fan, Happy encounters both hilarity and consequences like a fine and temporary suspension.

Despite his ups and downs, Happy secures an endorsement deal with Subway, providing him with enough financial means to reclaim his grandmother’s house. However, he soon discovers that the house is set to be auctioned off.

In an effort to regain his grandmother’s house, Happy proposes a wager to Shooter. If he finishes above Shooter in the Tour Championship, he will reclaim the house; if not, he will leave the tour for good.

With the help of Chubbs, Happy begins improving his golfing skills, especially his putting. Their training sessions help them develop a strong mentor-mentee bond, further motivating Happy to succeed.

As the Tour Championship nears its climax, Happy and Shooter are neck and neck in the competition. Shooter resorts to desperate measures, including using Donald to disrupt Happy's game.

On the 18th hole, Happy faces Shooter in a tense showdown. An unexpected calamity occurs with a TV tower collapsing, but Happy applies his learned tricks to execute a miraculous shot, securing a tie.

In a thrilling finale, Happy manages to win the Tour Championship through skill and determination. His victory allows him to reclaim his grandmother's home, fulfilling his promise to her.

The film concludes with Happy celebrating his victory amidst humorous and surreal congratulations from the spirits of Chubbs, Abraham Lincoln, and a fearsome alligator. This moment encapsulates the film's blend of comedy and heartfelt sentiment.
