Nearly 30 years after Adam Sandler first took a slap-shot at country club golf culture, Happy Gilmore is making a comeback—and not just on the screen. With the Netflix sequel Happy Gilmore 2 set to drop this July, the iconic comedy is getting the full merch treatment it deserves. And Callaway is leading the charge with a limited-edition gear drop that bridges old-school nostalgia with new-school play.
Originally released in 1996, Happy Gilmore turned Sandler from SNL goofball into a box office sensation. The film raked in over $80 million on a $12 million budget, became an instant cult classic, and helped usher in an era of irreverent sports comedies that didn’t take themselves too seriously—but still had heart. Nearly three decades later, Sandler’s decided it’s time to revisit the loudmouthed hockey player–turned–golf phenom for two reasons: to give longtime fans the sequel they’ve always wanted, and to introduce a new generation to the blue-collar swagger and chaotic charm of Happy Gilmore.
Callaway answered the call in true Gilmore style: they’ve unleashed a collector’s set that resurrects Happy’s legendary hockey‑stick putter and a pair of grin‑ready chrome golf ball packs.
Odyssey didn’t just slap some stickers on a novelty club—they re‑engineered the iconic hockey‑blade putter into a fully functional, tour‑grade stick. You’re getting a hefty 44″ stainless steel shaft, the classic White‑Hot urethane insert, heel‑&‑toe balancing, and a 21″ “pistol” grip—solid upgrades that give this throwback major‑play functionality. And yes, it’s officially non‑conforming, so save it for your weekend rounds… and serious showboating. That said, expect prices to start at $499.99 when drops begin July 25—lock in that slap‑shot style on premiere day.
Not to be upstaged, Callaway has rolled out two limited‑edition chrome golf ball boxes, each screaming Happy Gilmore energy. Bright jerseys, crossed hockey sticks, and classic quotes—“It’s all in the hips,” “Just tap it in”—stamp the balls that even Happy uses in the film. Retail at about $59.99 per dozen, while some outlets like DICK’S may offer exclusive jersey prints for golf fans.
Callaway isn’t just innovating—they’re showing that golf culture can still geek out over its own lore. The Chrome Tour line has already racked up major‑win cred, and now it’s flexing pop‑culture muscle too. Meanwhile, the hockey‑stick is less performance gear, more statement piece—tracking heritage, functionality, and meme‑equity in one sweet swing.
This isn’t just a brand tie‑in—it’s a full swing at nostalgia. For the fans who grew up yelling “Just tap it in!” at the screen, here’s a chance to literally channel Happy’s spirit. Expect this drop to sell fast—limited runs, cult legend in the title, and a sequel trailer stacked with cameos—everyone from Eminem to Bad Bunny to Travis Kelce.
The momentum is strong on this one. Chubbs and Grandma Gilmore would both be proud of this epic comeback and classic collab.
