Christopher McDonald Begged 'Happy Gilmore' Director to Try Final Putt

Christopher McDonald, who played Shooter McGavin in ‘Happy Gilmore,’ begged the director to let him try Happy’s Green Jacket-winning putt

While McDonald, 69, had to sign an NDA after accidentally letting it slip that Happy Gilmore 2 was on its way, he’s glad to look back on some of the more iconic moments from the original film. Happy, of course, comically sinks the putt by hitting the ball off a Volkswagen and letting it carom off the sides of the tower, roll down its rails and finally fall into the hole. The comedic actor’s decades-long career has seen him charm audiences in everything from Happy Gilmore to The Wedding Singer and gained a whole new generation of fans thanks to the animated Hotel Transylvania franchise.
