There are many celebrities who like to play golf. Among them, Adam Sandler, a famous American actor, seems to be playing golf recently for a slightly unique reason.
Sandler played the lead role of Gilmore in the 1996 movie ‘Happy Gilmore’. The movie tells the story of a hero who dreams of becoming an ice hockey player, discovers an unexpected talent in golf, which he encounters by chance, participates in a golf tournament, and goes through twists and turns to achieve his goal. It is a comedy film regarding golf. Many golf officials, such as Lee Trevino, who played an active part on the PGA Tour in the United States, appeared, adding to the taste of golf fans.
In the movie, Gilmore doesn’t even know the rules of the game, but he wins and wins in competitions where he takes a light step and swings a golf club to blow the ball 400 yards away. As much as he dreamed of becoming an ice hockey player, it is unusual to see him use an ice hockey stick-shaped putter. The movie ‘Happy Gilmore’ is a delightful challenge for a young man who competes in golf tournaments and even goes to professional tournaments with the sole goal of reclaiming the confiscated grandmother’s house.

Due to this relationship, Sandler posted a picture of Will Chloratoris (USA) on his SNS following seeing Will Chloratoris (USA) in a TV broadcast in April of last year. Along with Xalatory Torres, a photo of an actor who played the role of a caddy in ‘Happy Gilmore’, which was released 26 years ago, was also presented. The two faces are quite similar. Sandler wrote, “I’m really happy today. I’ll be watching Gilmore proudly,” as if he had seen a Zalatoris broadcast at the time, and Zalatoris shared the post and responded wittyly, “Call me a caddy whenever you need it, Mr. Gilmore.”
Although she was cheered by Sandler, she continued to have the bad luck of not being able to establish a relationship with the championship trophy even though she had consistently ranked at the top on the PGA Tour. But this year’s St. Jude Championship was different. After overtime, Zalatoris took his first PGA Tour trophy.
Sandler recalled the relationship that had passed over a year ago and was delighted with the Zalatoris’ victory. On the 15th (Korean time), he posted a photo of himself cheering following winning the movie ‘Happy Gilmore’ with Chloratorios, who won the St. Jude Championship in the first round of the PGA Tour FedEx Cup playoffs, on his SNS on the 15th (Korean time). Along with the photo, Sandler wrote, “Congratulations Will! I’m so happy for you! Happy is Happy. Have fun!” Unlike a year ago, Zalatoris didn’t respond much, but Sandler’s witty post received over 5,000 likes.
