A real-life version of Happy Gilmore recently announced his commitment to play collegiate golf at Ball State University in Indiana, grabbing the attention of actor Adam Sandler, who portrayed the fictional golfer in the 1996 film. Sandler took to Twitter to offer his congratulations, writing, “Go get em Happy. Pulling for you.” In response, the teen, whose birth name is Landon Gilmore, exclaimed, “My life is complete.” The rising senior at Bloomington High School South shared his exciting news on Twitter, expressing gratitude to Coach Mike Fleck and his family, friends, and coaches who have supported him. Gilmore, who ranked 481st among junior boys according to Golfweek, recently shot an impressive 66 at a U.S. Amateur qualifier. Despite not having played hockey like Sandler’s Happy Gilmore, Gilmore revealed on Twitter that he can perform “the Happy Gilmore swing.” It seems the “Happy” nickname has brought Gilmore some positive attention, as he acknowledged its impact on his publicity. According to him, it has helped him gain more recognition in the golfing community.
