Released in 1996, “Happy Gilmore” is a sports comedy film that has become a cult classic over the years. Starring Adam Sandler in the titular role, the movie follows the story of a failed hockey player turned golf prodigy.
The film has developed a cult following in the golf community.
That's why BirdieBoss, which produce accessories for golf asked me to draw 3 cards with the main characters of the movie:
Happy (Sandler), Chubbs (his helper) and Shooter (the main antagonist).
So I started watching the movie and creating a moldboard of references for each character.
Happy Gilmore
Happy Gilmore, a high-strung wannabe hockey player who discovers a unique talent for golf and joins the pro golf tour to win money to save his grandmother's house.
He wears Boston Bruin's jersey, uses an hockey stick as a putter and has rage control problems.

Derick "Chubbs" Peterson
Derick "Chubbs" Peterson, a pro golfer who was forced to retire from the tour when his hand was bitten off by an alligator. He soon becomes Happy's coach.
He wears classic golf sweater and hat and his fake hand is... fake!
You can easily see he hold the fake hand with his real one.
