(Credit: Callaway) A second wave of 'Happy Gilmore 2' hockey-stick putters will be released Friday after initial inventory quickly sold out earlier this month. According to Front Office Sports, the second run of putters will hit market alongside the film's Friday debut. A sequel to Adam Sandler's fan-favorite comedy 'Happy Gilmore 2' will premier on Netflix with Sander reprising his role as the film's title character. Advertisement Created by Callaway as a replica of Sandler's putter in the film, the limited-edition Odyssey putters originally retailed for $499.99 each and sold out by 10 a.m. on release day. Inventory available in-store at Dick's Sporting Goods and Golf Galaxy sold out within about 48 hours. To date, eBay research tool Terapeak has confirmed sales as high as $1,499.99 for the hockey-stick putters on the secondary market, including more than two dozen fetching $1,000 or more. In addition to the hockey-stick putters, Callaway also released 12-ball sets of 'Happy Gilmore 2' golf balls, which retail for $59.99.
