Adam Sandler's Secret Swing Partner: Meet the Unrecognizable Ryder Cup Star in Happy Gilmore 2!
SHOCKING REVELATION: Adam Sandler's Secret Golf Swing Doubles Exposed!
Get ready for a scandal that will leave you speechless! In the highly-anticipated sequel to the 90's comedy classic, "Happy Gilmore 2," released on Netflix last week, one of Hollywood's biggest stars was not who he seemed to be. Behind the scenes of the star-studded cast, including celebrities and former golfers, a shocking secret was brewing.
According to sources close to the production, Adam Sandler's iconic golf swing in the movie was NOT his own! A bombshell revelation made by none other than Team USA star Hunter Mahan has sent shockwaves through the golfing community. In an exclusive post on Instagram, Mahan revealed that he was secretly used as a "swing double" for Sandler's titular character!
Mahan, a six-time PGA Tour winner and former Ryder Cup champion, posted a behind-the-scenes look at his time filming, including selfies with stars like Travis Kelce. The revealing caption read: "When they called and said Happy Gilmore needs a golf swing double, I said say no more." The post also featured a series of hilarious snaps showcasing Mahan's transformation into Happy Gilmore, complete with a nod to the hair and makeup team who worked tirelessly behind the scenes.
But what about Sandler's golfing skills? Don't worry, folks! Sources close to the production have confirmed that the former "Saturday Night Live" star is still swinging from the same tree as his on-screen character. However, it appears that Mahan was brought in to ensure that Adam's best swing was showcased for the cameras.
Mahan's impressive credentials speak for themselves. With four consecutive Presidents Cup wins with Team USA between 2007 and 2013, he has proven himself to be a force to be reckoned with on the golf course. And it seems his skills were put to good use in "Happy Gilmore 2," where he was tasked with perfecting Sandler's signature run-up swing.
But what about the reception of the sequel? Unfortunately for fans, "Happy Gilmore 2" has not quite lived up to its predecessor's standards. With a critics' approval rating of 65% and an audience score of 74% on Rotten Tomatoes, it seems that some viewers have been left feeling less than 'par' about the movie.
So, there you have it – the shocking truth behind Adam Sandler's golf swing in "Happy Gilmore 2." We can't help but wonder what other secrets lie beneath the surface of Hollywood's most iconic movies. Stay tuned for more exclusive scoops from The Scholarly Note!
