The "Who is that guy?" was Lee Trevino, one of the best golfers of his era. Trivia; Trevino survived being hit by lightning on a golf course during a tournament.
The big guy was Richard Kiel, most famous as Jaws, a henchman from two Bond movies. He had gigantism... it wasn't really clear in the movie, but he was 7'2" tall and it took a toll and yes, he needed some support as he got older.
Poor guy, to be such a big, strong man--and then to be reduced to having to be pushed in a wheelbarrow as you can't run, hell barely even able to walk anymore. Disease is messed up man, no one is safe. Treasure what blessings you got!
Richard Kiel was lucky that he still lived to his 70s , funny that he was picked to be Hulk because Arnold Schwarzenegger was considered to be too short , then after one episode they replaced Kiel with Lou Ferrigno , reshoot scenes , when they wanted more muscular Hulk . Same with Jorge "El Gigante" Gonzales , Argentinian basketball player , show wrestler , 244cm/8´ tall when he died 2010 , when he was in Baywatch and some Hulk Hogan movies in 1990s , he had problems walking already , one thing all that suffer from gigantism get , also he died at age 44 , just as André the Giant , died at age 46 .
@@pete_lind Another well known Giant is Peter Mayhew, who was Chewbacca in Star Wars. He also frequently walked with a cane and needed help getting around.
"You eat pieces of shit for breakfast?" One of the best comebacks in movie history. Also, Fun Fact: Bob Barker's only request when asked to be in the film was that he won the fight, so they had to do a quick rewrite to let him win.
I'm pretty sure Bob Barker also had some reputation as a martial artist, though I'm not sure it was anything more than being a celebrity with a black belt in karate.
I'm glad they did, it really makes the scene hilarious when he talks shit as he walks away. I was 13 when this came out, I was dying in the theater during that
This film is often credited with making golf popular again for younger audiences. Since it’s release there have been a lot more young golfers with eccentric personalities on the professional tours. And I’ve never met anybody who golfs that doesn’t love this movie and hasn’t attempted the Happy Gilmore swing at least once.
My youngest brother is a pretty good golfer. When he was in college, he went to a driving range with some friends. He saved his last dozen balls to practice his “Happy Gilmore” swing. Unfortunately, the turf was wet and his plant foot slid out from under him. Ultimately, it resulted in knee surgery for him.
The actor who played Mr. Larson (Happy’s enormous former boss) was Richard Kiel, who’s probably best known as Jaws from the James Bond movies. If I remember correctly, much like wrestling legend Andre The Giant, he suffered from gigantism, which is why he was about 7’ tall. And much like Andre, his gigantism caused him to have serious problems with his back and knees. This movie was considerably late in his acting career, which is why he was in such poor health at the time.
He was always nice to see in any movie he was also I the goofy and corny as hell Barbarian Brothers movie Think Big he had a really good sense of humor
@@maexpert11 I’ve heard that about him. Despite his huge size, he was actually a gentle giant. I think it might have been his idea to make Jaws a slightly sillier character in the James Bond films, surviving ridiculous falls and explosions that would have killed absolutely anyone else, things like that.
He also played all of the aliens in one of the best science fiction TV shows ever, The Twilight zone episode "to serve man" (Which George probably only knows from The Simpsons treehouse of terror episode)
@@vincegamer I love seeing Richard Kiel in movies, but if you're referring to the original 1960s Twilight Zone, the actor in "To Serve Man" was Ted Cassidy, who also played Lurch on the Addams Family TV series. And yes, he looked and sounded a lot like Richard Kiel. Edit: Corrected by @Odinthorson1830 below. I can't believe I had that wrong all these years! Apologies to @vincegamer
He ALWAYS plays such a douche in movies, and everyone says he is super nice in real life. I think that is the "formula" for being a good movie asshole, honestly. They are almost always played by the nicest real-life people.
And one of the few storylines that has a good meaning. You can understand why he is doing what he is doing. It may not be the most reasonable way to save his grandma's house, but you can understand why he is doing it.
Personally I think Happy Gilmore has the better story and the better villain but Billy Maddison is my personal favorite just because of the cast and the dumb absurd humor in my opinion being even more absurd than HG but again this is just how I feel, Happy Gilmore is my second favorite though next to Big Daddy and Grown Ups
Great reaction as always. I chuckled when you guys were in disbelief of the tournament winner getting 200k. Men’s golf pays out 3 million for most tournaments nowadays lol
Yes, the Price is Right is still on the air after like 50 years. Bob Barker was a national treasure in the 80s and 90s. Yes, golf tournaments pay big money. The tour has big paychecks. The score is in the negative because it’s based on how many shots each hole should take (par) versus how many shots it takes each player. So if a hole is a par 4, and you sink the ball in 3 shots, your score is a birdie (-1). Two shots under par is an eagle. The cumulative total after 18 holes is your score. The bigger negative number, the better. Yes, Subway absolutely sponsored this movie. You must play the ball as it lies. If it goes in the water, you are penalized a shot and then you get a drop.
Most of that is correct but hitting your ball in the water or any other OB hazard is only a one stroke penalty. There are a number of ways to get a two stroke penalty, but most are rare
@@marcelkuijper8240i have never known Chuck to host WoF. Are you sure on that one? I thought Pat Sajak hosted the first and only iteration of thst game. Was there a 70s version? I remember Chuck on many other games, like scrabble and love connection i think.
@@greenpeasuit Yes, Chuck Woolery was the original host and Susan Stafford was the letter-turner before Vanna White. I met her once while visiting my brother at her boyfriend's condominium. The boyfriend was Dan Enright, a producer of many game shows... and included in the movie "Quiz Show".
There's no way they'd get ANY of the 80s references. The cd player the size of a microwave. The clothing choices. No way in hell they'd know who "the British guy on the plane" was. It's be so frustrating to watch them watch that movie. He'll, they didn't know who Bob Barker was or if it's "possible to hit the ball too far" in golf.
Simone and George being horrified at the nursing home being run like a sweat shop just confirms that I am a horrible person for laughing so hard at those scenes
The Price is Right is still on tv but Drew Carey has been hosting it for many years (since Bob Barker retired). And the tax guy taking the house is Robert Smigel who is the genius behind Triumph the Insult Comic Dog.
@@shapeshifter7676 Happy Gilmore, Caddyshack, and Tin Cup, lol. (Though I learned the most from actual games cause my dad ALWAYS watched it on the weekends, so it was unavoidable, lol).
Up there with Rachel Phelps from Major League. I'd give Shooter the edge just due to his range from total douche to super petty to kind of malicious, but Phelps was also extremely hate-able, so much so that they had to rewrite the ending. It initially had her as turning out to be a good guy who was just trying to light a fire under the team, but audiences hated it, so it changed to just show her completely failing.
Price is Right is STILL a thing. After Bob retired, they ended up settling on Drew Carey as the new host and he has done it for ages as well. If you ever find yourself on Price is Right, guess HIGH. Prices seem to be based on California prices, so triple what I would expect to pay here in Texas.
Nice catch, George! Yes, the actor playing the boss character was struck by a car and has back pains. He is, in fact, leaning with a purpose in every scene he's in. That's also why the close-up shot of him running is in slow motion, but he's not in any wide shots. He couldn't run for very long due to his pain.
The scoring system basically works like this: Each hole has a par and getting the ball in the hole in less swings then the par lowers the score. For example that par 4 that Happy got a hole in one on dropped his score by -3.
People who suffer from gigantism usually do have back problems. Andre the Giant, for instance, raised a lot of awareness about what that condition is like.
p.s. You're both right. He sings songs, is funny, and yells a lot. And yes, The Price is Right is still going (I think - - haven't watched it in years - - Bob Barker retired from it in 2007. His thank you: "I thank you, thank you, thank you for inviting me into your home for more than 50 years." (He did another game show before it; Price is Right started in 1972, when I was a baby. I LOVED that show as a kid.) Bob Barker passed away yesterday at age 99. He is so much fun in this movie. My favorite scene!!
I work at a mini golf course and I can confirm that. You gotta get the ball into the hole. Water shots can be played from the water (without receiving a penalty stroke) or from where it was on the ground before it went into the water (with a penalty stroke - - in other words it can be picked up out of the water and placed on the grass next to the water - - at least, that's the simplified version - - there are rules as to determining where to place the ball). A golf score can be negative if it's under par. Par is the # of strokes it should take to get the ball in the hole. Each hole has its own par, dependent on the length/layout/topography of the course from the tee to the hole. If a hole is a par 4 and a golfer makes it in 2 strokes, that golfer has a negative score on that hole. Something like that.
Simone combining “Jesus” and “Damnit” into “Jamnit” as a response to her Hockey Puck mixup was absolutely perfect and pretty much “Peak Simone”. One of her moments that she will likely hate herself for, but for us is just one of those goofy moments that we love these guys for. 😆♥️
I don't know if it was intentional, but the comedic timing between Julie Bowen pausing in her talking and Happy yelling PIECE OF MONKEY SHIT is just the best.
The negative scores are because golf is scored around the "par" for each course. That is, the number of shots it is expected to take to reach the hole. If you hit par on each hole you end with a score of 0. Each shot above or below par per hole will change your score up or down accordingly. Oh, Simone got it 😅👍
One of the smaller tournaments which wrapped up just yesterday, was the Genesis Open, where the total prize pool was 9million, with first place paying 1.5 million. The biggest prize pool was $25 million at the PGA Players Championship. The top prize was 4.5 million. Not bad for wacking a ball around and going for a walk.
I can guarantee you that the winners shares for the tournaments in this movie do not reflect what Pro Golfers who win tournaments are able to make. Now, back at the time of this movie, it totally was. But today, the smallest winner's share of a PGA tournament purse is $666,000.
Agreed. Saw an article this morning saying that Scottie Scheffler has won nearly $20 million this year alone, and there’s still a lot of golf to be played and money to be made
Mr. Larson was played by Richard Kiel. He is about 7'2" tall (about 218cm) due to one of those things that causes Gigantism. When he was a teenager he was already almost 7ft tall. He played at the henchmen Jaws in a couple of the old James Bond Movies from the 1970s. He was originally casted as the Hulk in the late 70sThe Incredible Hulk TV show but was let go within a week or 2 because he didn't look bulky and muscular enough.
To answer a couple of the golf questions: 1: Water Hazards - if you hit a ball in the water, you take a one stroke penalty (add one to your total) and drop the ball near where it entered the water. If the water is shallow enough, you are allowed to try and hit the ball out, at no penalty. 2: Ball markers on the green - Placed behind (to prevent people from trying to get closer by marking ahead) of the ball, it marks the ball position so that other putter do not hit your ball when they put. 3: Negative Scores - Par is the "standard number" of strokes to finish a hole, therefor if you finish in less strokes you are "x under par" or more simply -x
This movie came out before the seismic change in golf that was Tiger Woods. Before Tiger Woods, golf was seen as a stuffy old person's sport. Tiger completely changed the general publics perception at the time of the sport. So many people of all age groups became interested in Golf. This movie came before that, in it's own smaller way, also increased golf's awareness to people who would never be interested in it.
Overselling a bit there ain't ya. Tiger probably did more to promote the sport than anyone but it is still a stuffy old sport played by pensioners and presidents.
Yeah, I always think of Tiger whenever I watch this movie. Since I saw it when it first came out and therefore became so aware of the before/after impact that he represented.
I can only talk for the UK but there's plenty of places working class people can play golf or use shooting ranges and long before Tiger Woods came along.
some golf rules: -PAR is the number of swings you are expected to take at a ball before sinking it. i.e. a "par 4" means you are expected to hit it 4 times. -Each time you sink a ball they take the number of swings you took minus the par number for the hole and add that to your score - it is possible, common even in 'pro' games, to get negative number scores. I-n the end, after what is typically 9 holes, the person with the lowest score wins.
Shooter McGavin is played by Christopher McDonald, a master at playing petty, pathetic antagonists. Another one of his more iconic roles is the FBI agent Kent Mansley from “The Iron Giant”. ❤
To answer your question about Subway being a sponsor. Yeah, pretty much. I was an extra for 2 days on the set for the final shot through the accident. BOTH days, we were given Subway for meals. Never had another production ever feed us the same thing two days in a row.
They use the flat marker so when the other person is taking their shot, the "ball" placement does not interfere with it. It also helps to keep track of who's ball is in play and makes sure that the golfers do not them up. Also, if your ball lands in a water hazard you do not normally retrieve the ball (which is why Happy found so many when he went diving for his). There are different rules depending on the type of hazard (some are marked with red or yellow stakes), but usually you get a penalty (usually an automatic +1 to your score) and you can drop the ball near the hazard to continue play. Where you can drop is dependent on the type of hazard. I might be off a little on the rules, it's been a long time since I golfed but I think you get the idea.
Another reason for the marker is to avoid hitting another player's ball with your putt. It's a penalty, 2 strokes I think. Normally everyone except the player whose turn it is will place a marker so that their ball is not obstructing the other players. Courtesy is normally a big deal in golf. Shooter's heckler would have been kicked out of any tournament or even detained by the police at some venues (looking at you Augusta National) In the 2 situations on the last hole, neither was one where the golfer would have to play it as it lies. The spectator and/or the ball would have been moved (can't remember exactly which but you'd never play it off the person's foot) and on the green the fallen tower would have been removed before play could continue. Players get relief (a procedure to move the ball without penalty) for all immovable man-made obstructions (buildings, grandstands, sprinkler heads, tv cables, etc) and movable ones (golf carts, rakes in the sand traps) can/must be moved out of the way. As far as the hoity toity rep of golf there is a fair amount of truth to it when you look at the private clubs and resort courses, but public courses (where us plebs normally play) are much more common and get as much if not more play. Back in the day a lot of professionals got their start as caddies when they were kids. My uncle who made a career out of teaching golf and managing municipal courses got his start mowing greens and fairways. As far as golf vs tennis for elitist participation, I've always thought tennis was more so. In forty plus years of watching golf I've never seen British royalty in the galleries at the British Open but at least a couple show up at Wimbledon every year. The guy who shows up at the putt-putt course is Lee Trevino, about the least hoity toity champion in golf and one of the greatest, and I think the first Latino on the PGA tour.
Caddyshack has to be on the list for this channel, another classic golf comedy. I'm pretty sure you both can learn a lot about the game just by watching golf movies. It's honestly more fun than watching golf.
a "par" is how many hits you are allowed to try to get your ball in the hole starting from your initial drive up to your final put. A par 3 for example could mean you drove the ball with a wood at the tee, then drove it from the fairway with an iron club onto the green, and then one put would be your third hit. Any attempt after that put you in a positive score. A score of zero means you hit everything at par. A negative score means it took you less strokes than neccessary to get the ball in the hole. A "birdie" means it took you one less hit than par to get the ball in the hole, an "eagle" means it took two less hits than par requires. The more negative your overall score the better.
The Par scored is figured out always figuring it takes two putts on the green to sink the ball. A par three means it should only take one drive to "reach" the green, then you have a putt to get close and one to sink it. Not unheard off, then, is to have a hole in one on a par three. It is a big deal to get a hole in one on a par 4 because it is expected to take a drive then one more shot from the fairway to reach the green [in 2] then two putts to "hole" the ball. So, a hole in one as Happy did on a par 4 is a big deal meaning his drive went further than expected it can be done to reach the green in one shot when everyone else takes two to get to the green.
Golf is fun because you can treat it like bowling or pool and get hammered while ‘competing’ in a game that requires considerably less exertion than other sports.
Pga is the main golf organisation and they hold tournaments every week from Thursday to Sunday and the pay is always between 1-3millin per week for the winner
Most holes are par 3, some are 4 and even 5. This means you want better than par, par is 0 or even. More than par is added (unwanted) strokes against your score. Less then par are strokes taken off your score (helping it). At the end of the day, you want par or less, not higher than par. Shoot some rounds and get an average and then try beating it.
As someone who grew up watching The Price is Right on TV, seeing Sandler headbutt Bob Barker and say "the price is wrong, bitch!" was one of the biggest laughs I ever got from a movie.
That guy is Lee Trevino, old school Hall of Fame PGA golfer. And Price is right still airs every morning at 10am CST on CBS. Bob retired, Drew Carey has been the host well over 10 years now. Loved the reaction!
@@kevincerda6666 🤣🤣they used to call him "Supermex" He started his PGA career hustling money games at golf courses around Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas area back in the 60's.
I saw this in the theater my freshman year of college with a new friend from my dorm. I was dying of laughter the whole movie, but my friend just sat there, stone faced, and never laughed once.... UNTIL Happy saw Chubbs, the alligator and Abraham Lincoln in the sky... then he laughed his head off for about five minutes straight. I always thought that was so weird.
Public Golf courses are cheap and for the common person. It's a great way to spend a weekend morning: outside, getting high, drinking beer, instead of brunch.
Simone is correct with her explanation. Every hole has a Par rating, generally based on how long or how difficult it is. Generally speaking, Par 5 is the hardest most holes will be. But there are Par 6 holes but that are pretty uncommon. And there is even one Par 7 in South Korea. Shooting 1 under par is called a birdie (-1) 2 under is an eagle (-2) 3 under is an albatross (aka double eagle) (-3) 4 under is a condor (-4) An "Ace," aka a Hole-in-one, is exactly what it sounds like. And, obviously, depending on the par of a hole, some of these scores might be impossible. Like, you can't get 4 under par on a par 3, for instance. Also, in some cases an ace can be the same thing as an albatross or a condor, depending on the par of the hole. Keep in mind that these scores are exceedingly rare and 99% of players generally only ever deal with getting a birdie, maybe an eagle on a very good day. Finally, shooting over par is called a "bogey" and the naming convention is easier to remember: Bogey (+1) Double bogey (+2) Triple bogey (+3) etc. Also, to answer your question about getting into water, or just out of bounds in general: what you do in that situation is take a drop. That is, you add 1 extra stroke to your score and drop the ball at the edge of play near where it went out of bounds.
This might be one of the greatest movies ever made. It might not be revolutionary, but no matter how many times you watch the movie, it is always entertaining the whole way through.
My friend played golf, and while I never saw the point, she did say one thing that made sense - you can continue to play golf, get outside and enjoy the day in the fresh air and still feel you're competing long past when you can safely play other games ... you know, if that's your thing.
For the golf vs tennis "Hoity-toit-off", the answer is 100% golf. Both have that country club cache, but you can play tennis on a court you can find in a public park and rent out for free, whereas a golf course requires 100-200 acres of constantly-maintained area. Tennis racquets cost from $100 for a decent racquet to a grand or two at the high-end, while a set of golf clubs start at $500 for bargain-basement and go all the way up to $50,000-60,000 at the higher-end. Also, yes, while golf takes power and a boatload of skill, it doesn't really have a cardio requirement, so you'll see more old rich overweight guys who are really, really good at it.
One of Adam Sandlers best movies and possibly his most disliked protaginists Shooter 😂Great reaction guys😊 Carl weathers is awesome in this too as Chubbs and its quotable "Screw you ball why didnt you just go home thats your home are you too good for your home ANSWER ME!!" "YOUR GONNA DIE CLOWN!""Somebodys closerrr!"🤣
Golf Basics: - Golf is played on a course with 18 or 9 holes. - Each hole has a tee and a green where the hole is located. - Golfers use different clubs for various shot distances and trajectories. - Scoring is measured in strokes, aiming for the lowest score. - Players start from the tee box and hit their first shot. - The fairway is the mowed area leading to the green, while the rough is taller grass. - Approach shots aim to get the ball close to the hole. - Putting is done on the green with a putter. - Hazards like water, sand bunkers, and trees add challenge. - Etiquette involves respect, pace of play, and following rules. - Eagle = -2, Birdie = -1, Par = 0, Bogey = +1, Double Bogey = +2, etc. As for which sport is more affluent, I would certainly say golf - equipment nowadays has set myself back a few thousand. To put into perspective, a top market driver (Stealth 2) would cost £500 or 865 Canadian Dollars. And that's just 1 club out of the 14 allowed..
Love the video guys.... Some golf questions answered 1) Yes, the point of the game is to get the ball into the hold in the fewest strokes. A regularion golf course has 18 holes, you start at the Tee, hit the ball down the fairway (Off to the side of the fairway is called the rough), until you get to the end part (Around the hole) called the "Green". Most Holes have a set number of strokes that you should be able to get the ball in, referred to as Par (so if it should take 4 strokes, they say "It is a Par 4"). If you can get the ball in under that number, (say 1) then you were "One below par". 2) The marker (the coin the guy put down that Happy's caddy grabbed) is because golf ettiquette states whomever is farthest from the hole gets to shoot, so if your ball might be in the way, you replace it with a marker, until your turn, when you then put it back. 3) If a Ball goes into the water (or is lost in the grass or forest, etc.) you have an area where you get to drop the ball and play it from there, and a stroke is added to your scare. 4) Balls have differsnt brand names, and usually a single digit number on them, so you might be playing with a "Titlist 3" or a "Callaway 1", so if you have balls too close together, this is how you figure it out. 5) Most golf courses have sand traps. These are little ponds of sand placed around. If you get in there, you have to hit your ball out, but it is harder to hit out of the sand than off the grass (hence the jokes about getting stuck in the sand)
Who is that guy? Lee Trevino. He was a Mexican Handyman from Texas who came out of nowhere and started winning tournaments in the 60s and 70s. Then he got struck by lightening. Back in the day he was a DADJOKE Machine. PS Tennis is more Ickyrich then Golf and Caddyshack is a must-watch
My favorite Adam Sandler movie! I'm very glad you finally saw it. I would recommend "Grandma's Boy", as well. Adam Sandler isn't in it, but he did produce it, and it stars a lot of his "crew". Allen Covert, who played his caddie, is the main character. Watch the unrated version. There's only one extra joke, but it's hilarious!
15:09 if you've never really understood the fighting in Hockey I WHOLEHEARTEDLY recommend a film called Goon, hugely underrated comedy about Hockey starring Seann William Scott
I think this is his best movie. It's got two great villains (Ben Stiller is pure evil), has great shock moments like Chubbs dying, and makes it fun throughout. Plus inspired WTF moments like the Zamboni driver. Great, fun reactions from you both!
Richard Kiel = Jaws, was happy's Angel in the background..... Sad he passed away at 75yrs of age, the man with steel Teeth.... He was born with gigantism, and was a awesome villain in James bond movies.
The broad Adam Sandler comedies are hit-and-miss, but I love this one, as well as Big Daddy (1999), 50 First Dates (2004), and to a lesser extent, Billy Madison (1995), Anger Management (2003), and Click (2006). I also liked The Wedding Singer (1998), but I saw it so much later than the others and maybe didn't like it as much as I would've if I'd seen it when I was a teenager. I still need to see The Waterboy (1998), and I heard his recent Netflix film Murder Mystery was good too. Like Jim Carrey, later in his career, Sandler segued into dramatic or semi-dramatic work. I enjoyed Punch-Drunk Love (2005), Funny People (2009), and Uncut Gems (2019), and I need to see Hustle (2022). The head honcho who cares about the ratings is played by the director, Dennis Dugan.
You just named like half of his main films and said they were good lmao. His best movies are *easily* Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, Waterboy, and Big Daddy. Those are LEGENDARY films. 50 First Dates, Anger Management, and The Wedding Singer are like second tier. Little Nicky wasn't great. And Click wasn't even a funny movie - it was actually kinda depressing, but in a highly unusual way. Everything he did after that was pretty much mid or downright bad.
@@EricAKATheBelgianGuy Reign Over Me is a good movie. It's just a straightforward drama, so it's a little different than his quirky dramas like Punch-Drunk Love or Uncut Gems. Reign Over Me is basically about what would happen if a fun, "Adam Sandler type" character suffered a tragedy in his life. And yes, Don Cheadle is the co-star, and he's very good.
25:34. I'll explain it this way, since there was also the comment of why the negative scores. The object of golf is to get the ball in the hole in as few shots as possible. Each hole is labeled as either a par 3, 4 or 5 based on the distance to the hole. That's how many shots they think it should take you. Making par means you did it in the exact amount of shots and you score 0. One less is a birdie and scores you -1, two less is an eagle for -2 and the rare double eagle or "albatross" is worth -3. A bogey is taking 1 too many shots that adds 1 to your score, double bogey is two too many shots which adds and etc. You're trying to get as low a score as possible.
Random golf answers! Yes, the quarter was a marker. It's placed on the ground so that other golfers can putt without there being an obstacle in the way. Coins are sometimes used, but tees are common as are plastic markers or poker chips. Generally, hecklers are ejected if they continue to be a nuisance. "Look at the cabbage" The non-grass part near a golf course is called "the rough." Cabbage is "roughage." So, it's a little tortured but still kinda works. Richard Kiel, the boss, was 7' 2" . It's possible he was leaning on things due to his age and height, but it's also possible he was doing it to fit in the frame. He did suffer from Acromegaly , which does have joint issues as a problem, but I can't confirm if that was an issue for him. And yes, Price is Right is still around. Drew Carey is the host these days
Hello, official card carrying English person here - Simone pointing out "the great music" in this movie upon hearing Rock & Roll Pt 2 by The Glitter Band, followed by me rushing to warn you two to NEVER EVER google anything to do with them unless you want to be horrified 😬😬😬
Oh Simone and George, you sweet summer children. 😆 I love watching your commentaries and you are normally very well informed and insightful. So I was loving the fact you all knew so little about golf and the money professional golfers make. Of course, I would be totally lost with other genres that you all are probably familiar, so it is all what you are used to, right? Anyway, you two are great and appreciate all you do!
The sand joke refers to sand traps which you do not want to get stuck in. David Hasselhoff was famous for playing a lifeguard on the show Baywatch, so he spent a ton of time in the sand. That’s the joke. With regards to the rules, par is a designated amount of strokes given to each hole based off of distance and hole complexity. It’s almost always between 3 and 5, though there are a handful of par 6 holes and very rare par 7 holes. That means on a par 4 hole, if you get the ball in the hole in 4 strokes, it’s par, in 3 strokes, it’s birdie, in 5 strokes it’s bogey. You add all your strokes over 18 holes to get your final score. Some tournaments are multiple days, multiple times doing the clurse through so it might be over 36 or 54 holes rather than 18 so some scores can be really low. A score on a hole +1 stroke over par is called a bogey. So getting the ball in 5 strokes on a par 4 is a bogey. +2 or 6 strokes on a par is double bogey. Then triple bogey. Then there aren’t really nicknames you just say +4, +5, etc. These are all really bad scores and can take you out of a tournament entirely just from that one bad hole. -1 is a birdie -2 is an eagle -3 is an albatross or double eagle -4 is a condor or double albatross or triple eagle. A -4 is a hole in 1 on a par 5 or scoring in two stroke on a par 6.
Most golf holes are Par 3, 4 or 5. If you get the ball in the hole 1 under Par is is a Birdie, 2 under Par is a Eagle. If it takes you 1 shot over Par to make the hole it is a Bogey, and for every extra shot it becomes a a Double Bogey, Triple Bogey, 4 over Par etc.
I’m sure Simone will find this interesting. Christopher Macdonald was in the episode “Yesterday’s Enterprise” of Star Trek: The Next Generation. His character was actually a pretty decent guy. He was Lieutenant Richard Castillo of the USS ENTERPRISE (NCC1701C), and he fell in love with Tasha Yar.
My favorite moments in this movie are "How about I just go eat some hay?" And "You eat pieces of shit for breakfast?" That taught me to think of the comeback before you say it.
You guys MUST do more Sandler movies... so funny... 50 first dates, the wedding singer, Billy madison... and he won tons of awards for his serious movie uncut gems.. Great reaction. Thank you. 😊
Each course has a "par." That is the sum of the expected strokes for each hole. It ranges from 3-5 per hole. Par is usually around 72 for the whole course. the and indicate where the player sits in terms of what par would be at their point of the course. The reason they do this is that the players go through the course sequentially... therefore someone might be on the 18th hole with a 68 and someone could be on the second hole with a 7. Which is really winning? To determine that, compare those numbers to par.... 68 could be a -4 while 7 could be 0
Golf: a golf course has 18 holes and your score is the combined number of shots it takes you to sink a ball into each of the 18 holes. Lower scores are better. More explanation: Each hole has a starting point where the ball is put atop a 1 inch tee and hit hard (the drive). Each hole has a mowed lawn area called the fairway, that lies in a straight line between the tee and the hole. Outside the fairway is unmoved area called the rough. At the end of the fairway there is an even more finely area of grass called the green and the hole or cup as it is called is on the green. Most holes will have additional hazards such as sand traps or water. Each hole has an expected number of swings to sink the ball into the cup. This is called par. Hitting one under par is called a birdie and hitting two under par is called an eagle.
This was the first Adam Sandler movie I saw...such a classic. You guys should watch The Secret Life of Walter Mitty with Stiller. Great dramatic role for him.
The answer to why the numbers in golf are in the negative, is that each hole has a "par" rating based primarily on the distance to the hole. So a really long hole is a "par 5", a medium hole is a "par 4", and a short hole is a "par 3". There is a marker at the start of each hole on a golf course noting the length of the hole and if it's a par 3, 4, or 5. Par is the number of shots you're expected to take to get the ball from the tee to the hole. There are 18 holes on a golf course. So, for example, if the first hole is a "par 5", if you get the ball in the hole in only 4 shots, you are "one under par", or -1. Par for an entire 18 hole course may be 72, for example. So if you shot a 68 after a full round of golf, you shot "4 under par" or -4. If you shot 72, you shot even par, or "E". If you shot an 84, you shot "12 over", or +12. So a tournament leaderboard will have negative numbers are the top of the board with the "lowest" (best) scores, and the numbers get higher and into the positives the lower down the board you go... all denoting where a player stands in relation to even par.
It's super hard. I went with my Dad when I was 10...took 8 times to hit the ball off the tee. I almost threw the club because I was so frustrated. Realized then it was not the game for me.😂
yes they use a marker to remove obstacles from other players to stand/put/aim - 'look at the cabbage he is in now' is alluding to the very thick green growth the ball is buried in, harder to hit at all and also to be accurate
It brings a tear to my eye whenever I watch reaction videos to this movie and the younger people do not know who Lee Trevino is. I was never a golf fan, but I know of the greats, and he is one of the greats.
Yes, The Price Is Right still airs new episodes today but the host is now Drew Carey. Bob Barker retired from the show several years ago but he hosted it for decades.
To put prize money in perspective, in 1995 (the year Happy Gilmour was filmed) the top three golf earners for prize money were: Greg Norman -$9.6 million Tom Kite -$9.3 million Payne Stewart - $7.4 million
Here's a cool story that just happened this year. A kid on the bird app with the legal name Happy Gilmore just announced that he is going to play golf at Ball State College. Both Adam Sandler and Shooter quote-tweeted it and Sandler wished him good luck. He also said in his post that yes, he can do the Happy Gilmore shot.
I have a couple uncle's that was into golf and one of them played in small tournaments. I dabbled a bit on a driving range and small local courses myself. So I know a few things. So here is "some basic golf things and terminology. Stroke: A single swing to hit the golf ball. Even if you miss the ball it still counts as a stroke. Putt/Putting Green: The area around the cup/hole is at where you use your putter. Par: The set number of stokes required to get the ball in the cup/hole. Each hole will have a different Par number depending on the distance. Par 3 is about 250 yards, Par 4 is about 250-500 yards, Par 5 is about 450-700 yards, and Par 6 is pretty much anything over 650 yards. For women the distance is shorter for Par numbers. Every Par includes 2 Putt Stroke. For example a Par 5 is 3 Strokes to get to the Putting Green and 2 Strokes of Putting. Birdie: When you get the 1 stroke under Par. Eagle: When you get the 2 strokes under Par. Albatross/Double Eagle: When you get 3 strokes under Par. Condor: When you get 4 stroke under Par. Ace/Hole-in-One: When you get the ball in the cup/hole in 1 single stroke. Bogey: When you get the ball in the cup/hole Stokes above the Par number. Bogey for 1, Double Bogey for 2, Triple Bogey 3, etc etc. *The point of golf is to have the lowest number. Depending on the individual, people you're playing with, the coarse, or even the tournament would depending on how you keep score. Some people may just start at 0 and depending on how many Stokes above or below Par is how many points is added or subtract from 0 and at the end of the game will be your score. Some may even start at 0 and ignore the Par and just add up all the Strokes they took throughout the whole course and let that be their score. On average each hole is 2 points no matter what. Even if you get Par on ever hole in a 18 hole coarse your score will be 36 (18x2=36). So depending on how many more or less Strokes you take than Par will determine your score. Sometimes it can be +1 point for each Stroke over Par and -1 point under Par. Like I said before depending on the person, group, place, and even tournament the score + or - may be more than just +1 or -1 per Stroke under or over Par.* Water Hazards: A certain distant from the waters edge is called a water hazard. The player can either 1: play it as it lies and not take a Stoke penalty, 2: take a 1 Stroke penalty and take the ball back and hit the ball closest to the area he originally hit it from before they went into the water hazard, 3: take a 1 Stroke penalty and move the ball out of the water hazard area but it's backwards in a straight line from the direction you originally hit the ball from. If you choose to play the ball as it lies you can't disturb the area around the ball with your hands, feet, club, etc at any point before you take your stoke that would "improve" the condition of your shot or it will be a 2 Stoke penalty. If you lose your ball by it going directly in the water you must take a single stroke penalty and use the rules of stoke penalties for Water Hazards as I examined before. Sand Traps/Bunkers: They pretty much have the same rules as Water Hazards. Rule 27(I think): If you your ball going out of bounds you have so many minutes to go find your ball. If the ball is lost you must take a 1 Stroke penalty and do a Stoke and Distance by going back to where you previously hit the ball with a new ball. I also think of you find your ball within that set of time you can either play the ball back where your previously hit the ball or play the ball in bounds in the area if was seen going out of bounds.
Since I don't see anyone explaining this... Basically on a golf course every hole has a "Par" which is the number of shots you are expected to be able to do the hole in. The fewer shots, the more "Under Par" you are, the better your score. The reason it's counted in Negatives is that if you go over Par you get positive numbers, if you go under Par you get negatives. Also the total of all the holes Pars tells you the Par for the entire course, so an end score of -30 is you finished 30 Under Par for the course. The birds are just shorthand for a certain number of shots under par. A Birdie is One Under, and Eagle is Two Under, Albatross / Double Eagle is 3 under, and a Condor is 4 under. There's also Bogeys, Double Bogeys, Triple Bogeys, and Quadruple Bogeys which are the opposite of the birds, at 1, 2, 3, and 4 over Par respectively.

The "Who is that guy?" was Lee Trevino, one of the best golfers of his era. Trivia; Trevino survived being hit by lightning on a golf course during a tournament.
i was too lazy to google and by rhyming association, the name that kept popping into my head was Lou Ferrigno 😆.
Are you sure it wasn't Lee Carvallo?
I came here for this comment, Lee Trevino is one of the greatest of all time in golf and a hero for Mexican-American athletes
@@mylifeisrushhour2he is Mexican?? Thought he was Italian
Yes, he's Mexican.
Nobody was a more underrated douchebag in ‘90s movies than Christopher McDonald.😂😂
He was the William Zabka of the 90s….
He totally owns it, too. He references Shooter all the time on Twitter.
I always felt a little sorry for him. Constantly being type casted as a douche.
@@QuayNemSorrIt goes all the way back to the 80's. He just has one of those faces, but I'm sure he's a cool dude irl.
@@LordVolkov He really is, nothing but good stories from fan interactions with him.
The big guy was Richard Kiel, most famous as Jaws, a henchman from two Bond movies. He had gigantism... it wasn't really clear in the movie, but he was 7'2" tall and it took a toll and yes, he needed some support as he got older.
For that final scene he was actually being pushed in a wheelbarrow.
Poor guy, to be such a big, strong man--and then to be reduced to having to be pushed in a wheelbarrow as you can't run, hell barely even able to walk anymore.
Disease is messed up man, no one is safe. Treasure what blessings you got!
Richard Kiel was lucky that he still lived to his 70s , funny that he was picked to be Hulk because Arnold Schwarzenegger was considered to be too short , then after one episode they replaced Kiel with Lou Ferrigno , reshoot scenes , when they wanted more muscular Hulk .
Same with Jorge "El Gigante" Gonzales , Argentinian basketball player , show wrestler , 244cm/8´ tall when he died 2010 , when he was in Baywatch and some Hulk Hogan movies in 1990s , he had problems walking already , one thing all that suffer from gigantism get , also he died at age 44 , just as André the Giant , died at age 46 .
Bitches on tinder be like: "Must be over 6'..."
"Oh wait I didn't mean that tall"
@@pete_lind Another well known Giant is Peter Mayhew, who was Chewbacca in Star Wars. He also frequently walked with a cane and needed help getting around.
"You eat pieces of shit for breakfast?" One of the best comebacks in movie history.
Also, Fun Fact: Bob Barker's only request when asked to be in the film was that he won the fight, so they had to do a quick rewrite to let him win.
Makes the scene way better, tbh. Also Shooter's 'who won btw' and Happy's grimace afterwards is a fantastic 3 seconds
I'm pretty sure Bob Barker also had some reputation as a martial artist, though I'm not sure it was anything more than being a celebrity with a black belt in karate.
I'm glad they did, it really makes the scene hilarious when he talks shit as he walks away. I was 13 when this came out, I was dying in the theater during that

@@Jack-Shatme too when I first saw this. I kept waiting for him to yell at Happy like Captain Harris.
This film is often credited with making golf popular again for younger audiences. Since it’s release there have been a lot more young golfers with eccentric personalities on the professional tours. And I’ve never met anybody who golfs that doesn’t love this movie and hasn’t attempted the Happy Gilmore swing at least once.
My youngest brother is a pretty good golfer. When he was in college, he went to a driving range with some friends. He saved his last dozen balls to practice his “Happy Gilmore” swing. Unfortunately, the turf was wet and his plant foot slid out from under him. Ultimately, it resulted in knee surgery for him.
The actor who played Mr. Larson (Happy’s enormous former boss) was Richard Kiel, who’s probably best known as Jaws from the James Bond movies. If I remember correctly, much like wrestling legend Andre The Giant, he suffered from gigantism, which is why he was about 7’ tall. And much like Andre, his gigantism caused him to have serious problems with his back and knees. This movie was considerably late in his acting career, which is why he was in such poor health at the time.
He was always nice to see in any movie he was also I the goofy and corny as hell Barbarian Brothers movie Think Big he had a really good sense of humor
@@maexpert11 I’ve heard that about him. Despite his huge size, he was actually a gentle giant. I think it might have been his idea to make Jaws a slightly sillier character in the James Bond films, surviving ridiculous falls and explosions that would have killed absolutely anyone else, things like that.
He also played all of the aliens in one of the best science fiction TV shows ever, The Twilight zone episode "to serve man"
(Which George probably only knows from The Simpsons treehouse of terror episode)
@@Thundarr100and finding love with the little nerdy blonde girl in the end
@@vincegamer I love seeing Richard Kiel in movies, but if you're referring to the original 1960s Twilight Zone, the actor in "To Serve Man" was Ted Cassidy, who also played Lurch on the Addams Family TV series. And yes, he looked and sounded a lot like Richard Kiel.
Edit: Corrected by @Odinthorson1830 below. I can't believe I had that wrong all these years! Apologies to @vincegamer
Fun fact. The guy who played Shooter is a real nice guy who plays up the role for people today and has a decent twitter following.
He ALWAYS plays such a douche in movies, and everyone says he is super nice in real life. I think that is the "formula" for being a good movie asshole, honestly. They are almost always played by the nicest real-life people.
Just like Sandler himself; can be a doche on screen, but IRL he's a great guy.
Out of all the “dumb” Adam Sandler comedies, this one is my favorite. Better nonsense humor, so many quotable lines, and a great, memorable villain.
And one of the few storylines that has a good meaning. You can understand why he is doing what he is doing. It may not be the most reasonable way to save his grandma's house, but you can understand why he is doing it.
Yup and that bastard Bob Barker
And he gets thrashed by Bob Barker…
Personally I think Happy Gilmore has the better story and the better villain but Billy Maddison is my personal favorite just because of the cast and the dumb absurd humor in my opinion being even more absurd than HG but again this is just how I feel, Happy Gilmore is my second favorite though next to Big Daddy and Grown Ups
This one or Billy Madison.
Great reaction as always. I chuckled when you guys were in disbelief of the tournament winner getting 200k. Men’s golf pays out 3 million for most tournaments nowadays lol
Exactly. But with so many good golfers, you don’t win a lot.
Yes, the Price is Right is still on the air after like 50 years. Bob Barker was a national treasure in the 80s and 90s.
Yes, golf tournaments pay big money. The tour has big paychecks.
The score is in the negative because it’s based on how many shots each hole should take (par) versus how many shots it takes each player. So if a hole is a par 4, and you sink the ball in 3 shots, your score is a birdie (-1). Two shots under par is an eagle. The cumulative total after 18 holes is your score. The bigger negative number, the better.
Yes, Subway absolutely sponsored this movie.
You must play the ball as it lies. If it goes in the water, you are penalized a shot and then you get a drop.
Bob was already big news in the 70's.
We loved the Price is Right over Wheel of Fortune with Chuck Woolery.
Most of that is correct but hitting your ball in the water or any other OB hazard is only a one stroke penalty. There are a number of ways to get a two stroke penalty, but most are rare
@@marcelkuijper8240i have never known Chuck to host WoF. Are you sure on that one? I thought Pat Sajak hosted the first and only iteration of thst game. Was there a 70s version?
I remember Chuck on many other games, like scrabble and love connection i think.
@@greenpeasuit Yes, Chuck Woolery was the original host and Susan Stafford was the letter-turner before Vanna White. I met her once while visiting my brother at her boyfriend's condominium. The boyfriend was Dan Enright, a producer of many game shows... and included in the movie "Quiz Show".
RIP Bob Barker, you will be missed.
The price will never be wrong -bitch
To help Simone understand the fighting in hockey, I recommend The Goon, with Sean William Scott. It explains the reasons for it pretty well.
You know what?... This is true. lol
Good suggestion. Good movie too.

I too recommend Goon.
To see Adam Sandler at (arguably) his most charming, I highly suggest "The Wedding Singer" --especially for a lot of '80s nostalgia.
There's no way they'd get ANY of the 80s references. The cd player the size of a microwave. The clothing choices. No way in hell they'd know who "the British guy on the plane" was. It's be so frustrating to watch them watch that movie. He'll, they didn't know who Bob Barker was or if it's "possible to hit the ball too far" in golf.
Simone and George being horrified at the nursing home being run like a sweat shop just confirms that I am a horrible person for laughing so hard at those scenes
It could also confirm that a certain way of understanding comedy has been lost in the last 10-15 years..
"You just pulled landscaping duty" is one of my favorite lines from this movie.
Ben Stiller plays such great villains.
I still can't help but laugh anytime one of my older patients asks for a warm glass of milk
Quick rule of thumb - when Stiller has a mustache he’s a bad guy (see Dodgeball)
The Price is Right is still on tv but Drew Carey has been hosting it for many years (since Bob Barker retired). And the tax guy taking the house is Robert Smigel who is the genius behind Triumph the Insult Comic Dog.

Richard Kiel, the actor who played "Jaws" in some of the Bond movies, had a spinal disease. He is so iconic.
Shooter McGavin should be in the conversation as GOAT sports movie villain. If he's not #1, he's definitely top 3.
Up there with Rachel Phelps from Major League. I'd give Shooter the edge just due to his range from total douche to super petty to kind of malicious, but Phelps was also extremely hate-able, so much so that they had to rewrite the ending. It initially had her as turning out to be a good guy who was just trying to light a fire under the team, but audiences hated it, so it changed to just show her completely failing.
Christopher McDonald, who plays Dhooter, has made a career playing bad guys. He’s even on the Marvel show Secret Invasion playing a bad being.
Price is Right is STILL a thing. After Bob retired, they ended up settling on Drew Carey as the new host and he has done it for ages as well.
If you ever find yourself on Price is Right, guess HIGH. Prices seem to be based on California prices, so triple what I would expect to pay here in Texas.
Nice catch, George! Yes, the actor playing the boss character was struck by a car and has back pains. He is, in fact, leaning with a purpose in every scene he's in. That's also why the close-up shot of him running is in slow motion, but he's not in any wide shots. He couldn't run for very long due to his pain.
And notice towards the end when he says "I believe that's Mr. Gilmore's" he seems to have a bit of a limp.
Sorry to break it to you, Simone...but winners of golf tournaments actually win a lot more in real life now. Millions. (Depends on the tournament)
Rory McIlroy won $1.5M yesterday even.
The scoring system basically works like this: Each hole has a par and getting the ball in the hole in less swings then the par lowers the score. For example that par 4 that Happy got a hole in one on dropped his score by -3.
People who suffer from gigantism usually do have back problems. Andre the Giant, for instance, raised a lot of awareness about what that condition is like.
p.s. You're both right. He sings songs, is funny, and yells a lot. And yes, The Price is Right is still going (I think - - haven't watched it in years - - Bob Barker retired from it in 2007. His thank you: "I thank you, thank you, thank you for inviting me into your home for more than 50 years." (He did another game show before it; Price is Right started in 1972, when I was a baby. I LOVED that show as a kid.) Bob Barker passed away yesterday at age 99. He is so much fun in this movie. My favorite scene!!
I work at a mini golf course and I can confirm that. You gotta get the ball into the hole. Water shots can be played from the water (without receiving a penalty stroke) or from where it was on the ground before it went into the water (with a penalty stroke - - in other words it can be picked up out of the water and placed on the grass next to the water - - at least, that's the simplified version - - there are rules as to determining where to place the ball). A golf score can be negative if it's under par. Par is the # of strokes it should take to get the ball in the hole. Each hole has its own par, dependent on the length/layout/topography of the course from the tee to the hole. If a hole is a par 4 and a golfer makes it in 2 strokes, that golfer has a negative score on that hole. Something like that.
Drew Carey replaced him and Drew was replaced by someone else I think,
Simone combining “Jesus” and “Damnit” into “Jamnit” as a response to her Hockey Puck mixup was absolutely perfect and pretty much “Peak Simone”. One of her moments that she will likely hate herself for, but for us is just one of those goofy moments that we love these guys for. 😆♥️
Peak Simone is Simone.
Simone is peak Simone.
I don't know if it was intentional, but the comedic timing between Julie Bowen pausing in her talking and Happy yelling PIECE OF MONKEY SHIT is just the best.
The negative scores are because golf is scored around the "par" for each course. That is, the number of shots it is expected to take to reach the hole. If you hit par on each hole you end with a score of 0. Each shot above or below par per hole will change your score up or down accordingly.
Oh, Simone got it 😅👍
@@the98themperoroftheholybri33there's no handicap in any kind of professional tournament.
One of the smaller tournaments which wrapped up just yesterday, was the Genesis Open, where the total prize pool was 9million, with first place paying 1.5 million.

Not bad for wacking a ball around and going for a walk.
I can guarantee you that the winners shares for the tournaments in this movie do not reflect what Pro Golfers who win tournaments are able to make.
Now, back at the time of this movie, it totally was. But today, the smallest winner's share of a PGA tournament purse is $666,000.

Mr. Larson was played by Richard Kiel. He is about 7'2" tall (about 218cm) due to one of those things that causes Gigantism. When he was a teenager he was already almost 7ft tall.
He played at the henchmen Jaws in a couple of the old James Bond Movies from the 1970s. He was originally casted as the Hulk in the late 70sThe Incredible Hulk TV show but was let go within a week or 2 because he didn't look bulky and muscular enough.

Yeah it might be "low brow" humour, but the timing and how far to take jokes is excellent, and the movie is decently paced as well.
ARE YOU TOO GOOD FOR YOUR HOLE?? ANSWER ME!!!
I had a T-shirt for the LONGEST time that had that exact quote, with Bob Barker in his fighting stance. I miss that shirt. It was my favorite.
To answer a couple of the golf questions:
1: Water Hazards - if you hit a ball in the water, you take a one stroke penalty (add one to your total) and drop the ball near where it entered the water. If the water is shallow enough, you are allowed to try and hit the ball out, at no penalty.
2: Ball markers on the green - Placed behind (to prevent people from trying to get closer by marking ahead) of the ball, it marks the ball position so that other putter do not hit your ball when they put.
3: Negative Scores - Par is the "standard number" of strokes to finish a hole, therefor if you finish in less strokes you are "x under par" or more simply -x
This movie came out before the seismic change in golf that was Tiger Woods. Before Tiger Woods, golf was seen as a stuffy old person's sport. Tiger completely changed the general publics perception at the time of the sport. So many people of all age groups became interested in Golf. This movie came before that, in it's own smaller way, also increased golf's awareness to people who would never be interested in it.
Overselling a bit there ain't ya. Tiger probably did more to promote the sport than anyone but it is still a stuffy old sport played by pensioners and presidents.
It still is a stuffy rich old-man's sport. All that land to hit a tiny-ass ball.
Yeah, I always think of Tiger whenever I watch this movie. Since I saw it when it first came out and therefore became so aware of the before/after impact that he represented.
@@Trendkillaand hockey players. Hockey players seem to love golf
I can only talk for the UK but there's plenty of places working class people can play golf or use shooting ranges and long before Tiger Woods came along.
some golf rules:
-PAR is the number of swings you are expected to take at a ball before sinking it. i.e. a "par 4" means you are expected to hit it 4 times.
-Each time you sink a ball they take the number of swings you took minus the par number for the hole and add that to your score - it is possible, common even in 'pro' games, to get negative number scores.
I-n the end, after what is typically 9 holes, the person with the lowest score wins.
Shooter McGavin is played by Christopher McDonald, a master at playing petty, pathetic antagonists. Another one of his more iconic roles is the FBI agent Kent Mansley from “The Iron Giant”. ❤
WHERE'S THE GIANT, MANSLEY
Screw our country, I wanna live!
I always remember him shitting out Flubber.
To answer your question about Subway being a sponsor. Yeah, pretty much. I was an extra for 2 days on the set for the final shot through the accident. BOTH days, we were given Subway for meals. Never had another production ever feed us the same thing two days in a row.
They use the flat marker so when the other person is taking their shot, the "ball" placement does not interfere with it. It also helps to keep track of who's ball is in play and makes sure that the golfers do not them up. Also, if your ball lands in a water hazard you do not normally retrieve the ball (which is why Happy found so many when he went diving for his). There are different rules depending on the type of hazard (some are marked with red or yellow stakes), but usually you get a penalty (usually an automatic +1 to your score) and you can drop the ball near the hazard to continue play. Where you can drop is dependent on the type of hazard. I might be off a little on the rules, it's been a long time since I golfed but I think you get the idea.
Also, the green is the only place in play where you can pick your ball up and clean it with no penalty with the use of a marker
Another reason for the marker is to avoid hitting another player's ball with your putt. It's a penalty, 2 strokes I think. Normally everyone except the player whose turn it is will place a marker so that their ball is not obstructing the other players. Courtesy is normally a big deal in golf. Shooter's heckler would have been kicked out of any tournament or even detained by the police at some venues (looking at you Augusta National)
In the 2 situations on the last hole, neither was one where the golfer would have to play it as it lies. The spectator and/or the ball would have been moved (can't remember exactly which but you'd never play it off the person's foot) and on the green the fallen tower would have been removed before play could continue. Players get relief (a procedure to move the ball without penalty) for all immovable man-made obstructions (buildings, grandstands, sprinkler heads, tv cables, etc) and movable ones (golf carts, rakes in the sand traps) can/must be moved out of the way.
As far as the hoity toity rep of golf there is a fair amount of truth to it when you look at the private clubs and resort courses, but public courses (where us plebs normally play) are much more common and get as much if not more play. Back in the day a lot of professionals got their start as caddies when they were kids. My uncle who made a career out of teaching golf and managing municipal courses got his start mowing greens and fairways. As far as golf vs tennis for elitist participation, I've always thought tennis was more so. In forty plus years of watching golf I've never seen British royalty in the galleries at the British Open but at least a couple show up at Wimbledon every year.
The guy who shows up at the putt-putt course is Lee Trevino, about the least hoity toity champion in golf and one of the greatest, and I think the first Latino on the PGA tour.
Caddyshack has to be on the list for this channel, another classic golf comedy. I'm pretty sure you both can learn a lot about the game just by watching golf movies. It's honestly more fun than watching golf.
a "par" is how many hits you are allowed to try to get your ball in the hole starting from your initial drive up to your final put. A par 3 for example could mean you drove the ball with a wood at the tee, then drove it from the fairway with an iron club onto the green, and then one put would be your third hit. Any attempt after that put you in a positive score. A score of zero means you hit everything at par. A negative score means it took you less strokes than neccessary to get the ball in the hole. A "birdie" means it took you one less hit than par to get the ball in the hole, an "eagle" means it took two less hits than par requires. The more negative your overall score the better.
The Par scored is figured out always figuring it takes two putts on the green to sink the ball. A par three means it should only take one drive to "reach" the green, then you have a putt to get close and one to sink it. Not unheard off, then, is to have a hole in one on a par three. It is a big deal to get a hole in one on a par 4 because it is expected to take a drive then one more shot from the fairway to reach the green [in 2] then two putts to "hole" the ball. So, a hole in one as Happy did on a par 4 is a big deal meaning his drive went further than expected it can be done to reach the green in one shot when everyone else takes two to get to the green.
Golf is fun because you can treat it like bowling or pool and get hammered while ‘competing’ in a game that requires considerably less exertion than other sports.
This movie brought Julie Bowen, a good Sandler and one of the best movie villains ever.
Pga is the main golf organisation and they hold tournaments every week from Thursday to Sunday and the pay is always between 1-3millin per week for the winner
It's lowbrow but "you eat pieces of s*** for breakfast?" is one of my favorite comedic moments ever.
Most holes are par 3, some are 4 and even 5. This means you want better than par, par is 0 or even. More than par is added (unwanted) strokes against your score. Less then par are strokes taken off your score (helping it). At the end of the day, you want par or less, not higher than par. Shoot some rounds and get an average and then try beating it.
The Bob Barker Adam Sandler fight scene was awesome and hilarious!
Pretty sure they won "Best Fight" at the MTV Movie Awards that year.
As someone who grew up watching The Price is Right on TV, seeing Sandler headbutt Bob Barker and say "the price is wrong, bitch!" was one of the biggest laughs I ever got from a movie.
"That guy," is golf legend Lee Trevino. Hasn't played since the 80's so you could be forgiven for not knowing him if you don't follow the game.
Simone you're also right because he did alot of comedy songs on snl it's what got him famous
That guy is Lee Trevino, old school Hall of Fame PGA golfer. And Price is right still airs every morning at 10am CST on CBS. Bob retired, Drew Carey has been the host well over 10 years now. Loved the reaction!
I thought he was the security guard from “Mannequin” and Lt. Harris from “Police Academy” 🤣🤣🤣
@@kevincerda6666 🤣🤣they used to call him "Supermex" He started his PGA career hustling money games at golf courses around Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas area back in the 60's.
I saw this in the theater my freshman year of college with a new friend from my dorm. I was dying of laughter the whole movie, but my friend just sat there, stone faced, and never laughed once.... UNTIL Happy saw Chubbs, the alligator and Abraham Lincoln in the sky... then he laughed his head off for about five minutes straight. I always thought that was so weird.
Might want to check on your friend there
Public Golf courses are cheap and for the common person. It's a great way to spend a weekend morning: outside, getting high, drinking beer, instead of brunch.
"I know his type of comedy is like 'yelly' type of comedy."
"I thought he sang songs, I thought he had a ukulele."
You're right! 😄
They really need to follow this up with Wedding Singer to see how well he does both
Simone is correct with her explanation. Every hole has a Par rating, generally based on how long or how difficult it is. Generally speaking, Par 5 is the hardest most holes will be. But there are Par 6 holes but that are pretty uncommon. And there is even one Par 7 in South Korea.
Shooting 1 under par is called a birdie (-1)
2 under is an eagle (-2)
3 under is an albatross (aka double eagle) (-3)
4 under is a condor (-4)
An "Ace," aka a Hole-in-one, is exactly what it sounds like. And, obviously, depending on the par of a hole, some of these scores might be impossible. Like, you can't get 4 under par on a par 3, for instance. Also, in some cases an ace can be the same thing as an albatross or a condor, depending on the par of the hole. Keep in mind that these scores are exceedingly rare and 99% of players generally only ever deal with getting a birdie, maybe an eagle on a very good day.
Finally, shooting over par is called a "bogey" and the naming convention is easier to remember:
Bogey (+1)
Double bogey (+2)
Triple bogey (+3)
etc.
Also, to answer your question about getting into water, or just out of bounds in general: what you do in that situation is take a drop. That is, you add 1 extra stroke to your score and drop the ball at the edge of play near where it went out of bounds.
The Price is Right is still going. Bob Barker retired from hosting on October 31 2006 and Drew Carey has been the host ever since.
This might be one of the greatest movies ever made. It might not be revolutionary, but no matter how many times you watch the movie, it is always entertaining the whole way through.
My friend played golf, and while I never saw the point, she did say one thing that made sense - you can continue to play golf, get outside and enjoy the day in the fresh air and still feel you're competing long past when you can safely play other games ... you know, if that's your thing.
For the golf vs tennis "Hoity-toit-off", the answer is 100% golf. Both have that country club cache, but you can play tennis on a court you can find in a public park and rent out for free, whereas a golf course requires 100-200 acres of constantly-maintained area. Tennis racquets cost from $100 for a decent racquet to a grand or two at the high-end, while a set of golf clubs start at $500 for bargain-basement and go all the way up to $50,000-60,000 at the higher-end. Also, yes, while golf takes power and a boatload of skill, it doesn't really have a cardio requirement, so you'll see more old rich overweight guys who are really, really good at it.
One of Adam Sandlers best movies and possibly his most disliked protaginists Shooter 😂Great reaction guys😊 Carl weathers is awesome in this too as Chubbs and its quotable "Screw you ball why didnt you just go home thats your home are you too good for your home ANSWER ME!!" "YOUR GONNA DIE CLOWN!""Somebodys closerrr!"🤣
Shooter isn't the protagonist. Happy is the protagonist. Shooter is the antagonist.
"Suck my white ass, ball!" Lol😂
His best movie is "Spanglish".
Golf Basics:
- Golf is played on a course with 18 or 9 holes.
- Each hole has a tee and a green where the hole is located.
- Golfers use different clubs for various shot distances and trajectories.
- Scoring is measured in strokes, aiming for the lowest score.
- Players start from the tee box and hit their first shot.
- The fairway is the mowed area leading to the green, while the rough is taller grass.
- Approach shots aim to get the ball close to the hole.
- Putting is done on the green with a putter.
- Hazards like water, sand bunkers, and trees add challenge.
- Etiquette involves respect, pace of play, and following rules.
- Eagle = -2, Birdie = -1, Par = 0, Bogey = +1, Double Bogey = +2, etc.
As for which sport is more affluent, I would certainly say golf - equipment nowadays has set myself back a few thousand. To put into perspective, a top market driver (Stealth 2) would cost £500 or 865 Canadian Dollars.
And that's just 1 club out of the 14 allowed..
28:29 yes he had back problems. He was also JAWS in James Bond and the first HULK but was not so muscular so they got Lou Ferrigno.
Love the video guys....
Some golf questions answered
1) Yes, the point of the game is to get the ball into the hold in the fewest strokes. A regularion golf course has 18 holes, you start at the Tee, hit the ball down the fairway (Off to the side of the fairway is called the rough), until you get to the end part (Around the hole) called the "Green". Most Holes have a set number of strokes that you should be able to get the ball in, referred to as Par (so if it should take 4 strokes, they say "It is a Par 4"). If you can get the ball in under that number, (say 1) then you were "One below par".
2) The marker (the coin the guy put down that Happy's caddy grabbed) is because golf ettiquette states whomever is farthest from the hole gets to shoot, so if your ball might be in the way, you replace it with a marker, until your turn, when you then put it back.
3) If a Ball goes into the water (or is lost in the grass or forest, etc.) you have an area where you get to drop the ball and play it from there, and a stroke is added to your scare.
4) Balls have differsnt brand names, and usually a single digit number on them, so you might be playing with a "Titlist 3" or a "Callaway 1", so if you have balls too close together, this is how you figure it out.
5) Most golf courses have sand traps. These are little ponds of sand placed around. If you get in there, you have to hit your ball out, but it is harder to hit out of the sand than off the grass (hence the jokes about getting stuck in the sand)
George not knowing how Golf works is pretty wild
Who is that guy?
Lee Trevino. He was a Mexican Handyman from Texas who came out of nowhere and started winning tournaments in the 60s and 70s. Then he got struck by lightening.
Back in the day he was a DADJOKE Machine.
PS Tennis is more Ickyrich then Golf and Caddyshack is a must-watch
My favorite Adam Sandler movie! I'm very glad you finally saw it. I would recommend "Grandma's Boy", as well. Adam Sandler isn't in it, but he did produce it, and it stars a lot of his "crew". Allen Covert, who played his caddie, is the main character. Watch the unrated version. There's only one extra joke, but it's hilarious!
I'm not the biggest fan of happy Madison movies, but I love that one. Nick swardsen is very funny in that.
Grandma's Boy should pay me residuals. When it came out I recommended it to so many friends and coworkers who actually went out and bought the dvd.
15:09 if you've never really understood the fighting in Hockey I WHOLEHEARTEDLY recommend a film called Goon, hugely underrated comedy about Hockey starring Seann William Scott
I think this is his best movie. It's got two great villains (Ben Stiller is pure evil), has great shock moments like Chubbs dying, and makes it fun throughout. Plus inspired WTF moments like the Zamboni driver.
Great, fun reactions from you both!
FYI most modern golf major tournaments can be 10m dollar purses, and don’t get me started on the contracts
Richard Kiel = Jaws, was happy's Angel in the background..... Sad he passed away at 75yrs of age, the man with steel Teeth.... He was born with gigantism, and was a awesome villain in James bond movies.
Both are correct re: Sandler - he yells AND he sings songs.
The broad Adam Sandler comedies are hit-and-miss, but I love this one, as well as Big Daddy (1999), 50 First Dates (2004), and to a lesser extent, Billy Madison (1995), Anger Management (2003), and Click (2006). I also liked The Wedding Singer (1998), but I saw it so much later than the others and maybe didn't like it as much as I would've if I'd seen it when I was a teenager. I still need to see The Waterboy (1998), and I heard his recent Netflix film Murder Mystery was good too. Like Jim Carrey, later in his career, Sandler segued into dramatic or semi-dramatic work. I enjoyed Punch-Drunk Love (2005), Funny People (2009), and Uncut Gems (2019), and I need to see Hustle (2022).
The head honcho who cares about the ratings is played by the director, Dennis Dugan.
Watch "The Wedding Singer" again. It's like the only goddamn classic he's ever done.
You just named like half of his main films and said they were good lmao. His best movies are *easily* Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, Waterboy, and Big Daddy. Those are LEGENDARY films.
50 First Dates, Anger Management, and The Wedding Singer are like second tier. Little Nicky wasn't great. And Click wasn't even a funny movie - it was actually kinda depressing, but in a highly unusual way. Everything he did after that was pretty much mid or downright bad.
I remember enjoying Spanglish as well, when I was younger
@@StudioMod I've heard Reign Over Me from 2007 was more of a dramatic turn for him; I think Don Cheadle is the co-lead in it.
@@EricAKATheBelgianGuy Reign Over Me is a good movie. It's just a straightforward drama, so it's a little different than his quirky dramas like Punch-Drunk Love or Uncut Gems. Reign Over Me is basically about what would happen if a fun, "Adam Sandler type" character suffered a tragedy in his life. And yes, Don Cheadle is the co-star, and he's very good.
25:34. I'll explain it this way, since there was also the comment of why the negative scores. The object of golf is to get the ball in the hole in as few shots as possible. Each hole is labeled as either a par 3, 4 or 5 based on the distance to the hole. That's how many shots they think it should take you. Making par means you did it in the exact amount of shots and you score 0. One less is a birdie and scores you -1, two less is an eagle for -2 and the rare double eagle or "albatross" is worth -3. A bogey is taking 1 too many shots that adds 1 to your score, double bogey is two too many shots which adds and etc. You're trying to get as low a score as possible.
As a golfer, I love the three competitions going on at one time:
Man vs. Nature
Man vs. Man
Man vs. Self
I've seen enough clubs go flying to know it's also,
Man vs. Stick
@@koatam Haha there are many more. Man vs. Bladder comes to mind
RIP Carl Weathers 😢
The thing with Adam Sandler is, many stuff is childish, but other stuff is so heart warming.
Random golf answers!
Yes, the quarter was a marker. It's placed on the ground so that other golfers can putt without there being an obstacle in the way. Coins are sometimes used, but tees are common as are plastic markers or poker chips.
Generally, hecklers are ejected if they continue to be a nuisance.
"Look at the cabbage" The non-grass part near a golf course is called "the rough." Cabbage is "roughage." So, it's a little tortured but still kinda works.
Richard Kiel, the boss, was 7' 2" . It's possible he was leaning on things due to his age and height, but it's also possible he was doing it to fit in the frame. He did suffer from Acromegaly , which does have joint issues as a problem, but I can't confirm if that was an issue for him.
And yes, Price is Right is still around. Drew Carey is the host these days
Hello, official card carrying English person here - Simone pointing out "the great music" in this movie upon hearing Rock & Roll Pt 2 by The Glitter Band, followed by me rushing to warn you two to NEVER EVER google anything to do with them unless you want to be horrified 😬😬😬
Oh Simone and George, you sweet summer children. 😆 I love watching your commentaries and you are normally very well informed and insightful. So I was loving the fact you all knew so little about golf and the money professional golfers make. Of course, I would be totally lost with other genres that you all are probably familiar, so it is all what you are used to, right? Anyway, you two are great and appreciate all you do!
@2:10 “That is the most Canadian death ever.” 🤣
The sand joke refers to sand traps which you do not want to get stuck in. David Hasselhoff was famous for playing a lifeguard on the show Baywatch, so he spent a ton of time in the sand. That’s the joke.
With regards to the rules, par is a designated amount of strokes given to each hole based off of distance and hole complexity. It’s almost always between 3 and 5, though there are a handful of par 6 holes and very rare par 7 holes. That means on a par 4 hole, if you get the ball in the hole in 4 strokes, it’s par, in 3 strokes, it’s birdie, in 5 strokes it’s bogey. You add all your strokes over 18 holes to get your final score. Some tournaments are multiple days, multiple times doing the clurse through so it might be over 36 or 54 holes rather than 18 so some scores can be really low.
A score on a hole +1 stroke over par is called a bogey. So getting the ball in 5 strokes on a par 4 is a bogey. +2 or 6 strokes on a par is double bogey. Then triple bogey. Then there aren’t really nicknames you just say +4, +5, etc. These are all really bad scores and can take you out of a tournament entirely just from that one bad hole.
-1 is a birdie
-2 is an eagle
-3 is an albatross or double eagle
-4 is a condor or double albatross or triple eagle. A -4 is a hole in 1 on a par 5 or scoring in two stroke on a par 6.
Most golf holes are Par 3, 4 or 5.
If you get the ball in the hole 1 under Par is is a Birdie, 2 under Par is a Eagle.
If it takes you 1 shot over Par to make the hole it is a Bogey, and for every extra shot it becomes a a Double Bogey, Triple Bogey, 4 over Par etc.
I’m sure Simone will find this interesting. Christopher Macdonald was in the episode “Yesterday’s Enterprise” of Star Trek: The Next Generation. His character was actually a pretty decent guy. He was Lieutenant Richard Castillo of the USS ENTERPRISE (NCC1701C), and he fell in love with Tasha Yar.
My favorite moments in this movie are
"How about I just go eat some hay?"
And
"You eat pieces of shit for breakfast?"
That taught me to think of the comeback before you say it.
You guys MUST do more Sandler movies... so funny... 50 first dates, the wedding singer, Billy madison... and he won tons of awards for his serious movie uncut gems.. Great reaction. Thank you. 😊
the wedding singer is literally in my top five of fave romcoms of all time. It’s so damn cute and funny!
Each course has a "par." That is the sum of the expected strokes for each hole. It ranges from 3-5 per hole. Par is usually around 72 for the whole course. the and indicate where the player sits in terms of what par would be at their point of the course. The reason they do this is that the players go through the course sequentially... therefore someone might be on the 18th hole with a 68 and someone could be on the second hole with a 7. Which is really winning? To determine that, compare those numbers to par.... 68 could be a -4 while 7 could be 0
11:36 I laugh hysterically at this scene. A perfect example of a Canadian reaction and an American reaction lol
Golf: a golf course has 18 holes and your score is the combined number of shots it takes you to sink a ball into each of the 18 holes. Lower scores are better.
More explanation: Each hole has a starting point where the ball is put atop a 1 inch tee and hit hard (the drive). Each hole has a mowed lawn area called the fairway, that lies in a straight line between the tee and the hole.
Outside the fairway is unmoved area called the rough. At the end of the fairway there is an even more finely area of grass called the green and the hole or cup as it is called is on the green.
Most holes will have additional hazards such as sand traps or water.
Each hole has an expected number of swings to sink the ball into the cup. This is called par. Hitting one under par is called a birdie and hitting two under par is called an eagle.
This was the first Adam Sandler movie I saw...such a classic.
You guys should watch The Secret Life of Walter Mitty with Stiller. Great dramatic role for him.
Agreed. I wasn’t expecting much going in and was very pleasantly surprised.
👍thumbs up for Walter Mitty
I'll race you to the bike!
The answer to why the numbers in golf are in the negative, is that each hole has a "par" rating based primarily on the distance to the hole. So a really long hole is a "par 5", a medium hole is a "par 4", and a short hole is a "par 3". There is a marker at the start of each hole on a golf course noting the length of the hole and if it's a par 3, 4, or 5. Par is the number of shots you're expected to take to get the ball from the tee to the hole. There are 18 holes on a golf course. So, for example, if the first hole is a "par 5", if you get the ball in the hole in only 4 shots, you are "one under par", or -1. Par for an entire 18 hole course may be 72, for example. So if you shot a 68 after a full round of golf, you shot "4 under par" or -4. If you shot 72, you shot even par, or "E". If you shot an 84, you shot "12 over", or +12. So a tournament leaderboard will have negative numbers are the top of the board with the "lowest" (best) scores, and the numbers get higher and into the positives the lower down the board you go... all denoting where a player stands in relation to even par.
It's super hard. I went with my Dad when I was 10...took 8 times to hit the ball off the tee. I almost threw the club because I was so frustrated. Realized then it was not the game for me.😂
yes they use a marker to remove obstacles from other players to stand/put/aim - 'look at the cabbage he is in now' is alluding to the very thick green growth the ball is buried in, harder to hit at all and also to be accurate
It brings a tear to my eye whenever I watch reaction videos to this movie and the younger people do not know who Lee Trevino is. I was never a golf fan, but I know of the greats, and he is one of the greats.
Me too. I'm not a golf fan, but I lived in New Mexico when I was a kid, and Lee Trevino is considered such a hero there.
Yes, The Price Is Right still airs new episodes today but the host is now Drew Carey. Bob Barker retired from the show several years ago but he hosted it for decades.
To put prize money in perspective, in 1995 (the year Happy Gilmour was filmed) the top three golf earners for prize money were:
Greg Norman -$9.6 million
Tom Kite -$9.3 million
Payne Stewart - $7.4 million
Here's a cool story that just happened this year. A kid on the bird app with the legal name Happy Gilmore just announced that he is going to play golf at Ball State College. Both Adam Sandler and Shooter quote-tweeted it and Sandler wished him good luck. He also said in his post that yes, he can do the Happy Gilmore shot.
I have a couple uncle's that was into golf and one of them played in small tournaments. I dabbled a bit on a driving range and small local courses myself. So I know a few things. So here is "some basic golf things and terminology.
Stroke: A single swing to hit the golf ball. Even if you miss the ball it still counts as a stroke.
Putt/Putting Green: The area around the cup/hole is at where you use your putter.
Par: The set number of stokes required to get the ball in the cup/hole. Each hole will have a different Par number depending on the distance. Par 3 is about 250 yards, Par 4 is about 250-500 yards, Par 5 is about 450-700 yards, and Par 6 is pretty much anything over 650 yards. For women the distance is shorter for Par numbers. Every Par includes 2 Putt Stroke. For example a Par 5 is 3 Strokes to get to the Putting Green and 2 Strokes of Putting.
Birdie: When you get the 1 stroke under Par.
Eagle: When you get the 2 strokes under Par.
Albatross/Double Eagle: When you get 3 strokes under Par.
Condor: When you get 4 stroke under Par.
Ace/Hole-in-One: When you get the ball in the cup/hole in 1 single stroke.
Bogey: When you get the ball in the cup/hole Stokes above the Par number. Bogey for 1, Double Bogey for 2, Triple Bogey 3, etc etc.
*The point of golf is to have the lowest number. Depending on the individual, people you're playing with, the coarse, or even the tournament would depending on how you keep score. Some people may just start at 0 and depending on how many Stokes above or below Par is how many points is added or subtract from 0 and at the end of the game will be your score. Some may even start at 0 and ignore the Par and just add up all the Strokes they took throughout the whole course and let that be their score. On average each hole is 2 points no matter what. Even if you get Par on ever hole in a 18 hole coarse your score will be 36 (18x2=36). So depending on how many more or less Strokes you take than Par will determine your score. Sometimes it can be +1 point for each Stroke over Par and -1 point under Par. Like I said before depending on the person, group, place, and even tournament the score + or - may be more than just +1 or -1 per Stroke under or over Par.*
Water Hazards: A certain distant from the waters edge is called a water hazard. The player can either 1: play it as it lies and not take a Stoke penalty, 2: take a 1 Stroke penalty and take the ball back and hit the ball closest to the area he originally hit it from before they went into the water hazard, 3: take a 1 Stroke penalty and move the ball out of the water hazard area but it's backwards in a straight line from the direction you originally hit the ball from. If you choose to play the ball as it lies you can't disturb the area around the ball with your hands, feet, club, etc at any point before you take your stoke that would "improve" the condition of your shot or it will be a 2 Stoke penalty. If you lose your ball by it going directly in the water you must take a single stroke penalty and use the rules of stoke penalties for Water Hazards as I examined before.
Sand Traps/Bunkers: They pretty much have the same rules as Water Hazards.
Rule 27(I think): If you your ball going out of bounds you have so many minutes to go find your ball. If the ball is lost you must take a 1 Stroke penalty and do a Stoke and Distance by going back to where you previously hit the ball with a new ball. I also think of you find your ball within that set of time you can either play the ball back where your previously hit the ball or play the ball in bounds in the area if was seen going out of bounds.
Earlier Adam Sandler is like a time capsule of some good vibe comedies. He really hit just a great string of movies in late 90's and early 2000's
Since I don't see anyone explaining this... Basically on a golf course every hole has a "Par" which is the number of shots you are expected to be able to do the hole in. The fewer shots, the more "Under Par" you are, the better your score. The reason it's counted in Negatives is that if you go over Par you get positive numbers, if you go under Par you get negatives. Also the total of all the holes Pars tells you the Par for the entire course, so an end score of -30 is you finished 30 Under Par for the course. The birds are just shorthand for a certain number of shots under par. A Birdie is One Under, and Eagle is Two Under, Albatross / Double Eagle is 3 under, and a Condor is 4 under. There's also Bogeys, Double Bogeys, Triple Bogeys, and Quadruple Bogeys which are the opposite of the birds, at 1, 2, 3, and 4 over Par respectively.
