Callaway Really Made the 'Happy Gilmore' Putter
Nearly 30 years afterHappy Gilmore,Odyssey—the putter division underCallaway Golf—has re-released the film's iconic hockey stick putter, alongside a limited run of branded golf balls. The drop leads into the highly anticipated sequel, which hitsNetflixon July 25.For those who need a refresher,Adam Sandler'sHappy Gilmorewas a failed hockey player turned unconventional golf star. Known for his monster drives and spiky attitude, his real statement piece was a hockey stick putter—something of a gimmick turned signature weapon. So, is this new release actually playable? Probably not. The $500 USD price tag and novelty build suggest it's more of a collector's item than a performance upgrade, thoughCallaway's sitehas plenty of those if that's what you're after.The Chrome Tour golf balls included in the drop, priced at $60 per dozen, lean further into the nostalgia. Each sleeve features phrases like 'Just tap it in' and 'It's all in the hips,' nods to some of the film's most quotable lines. The balls are available now, while the putter launches alongside the sequel.
