A top-tier Adam Sandler movie that's also a first-ballot Hall of Fame golf movie, "Happy Gilmore" is still incredible 25 years later. Guest Wes Blankenship (Outsider.com) returns to Big Screen Sports to discuss what makes this a HOF golf movie, and break down how the film might have actually been ahead of its time in the world of golf. Wes and host Kyle Bandujo also talk the legacy of Shooter McGavin and which pro golfers best resemble he and Happy.
