Arrr, me hearties! Joyous news be brought to ye! Landon "Happy" Gilmore be settin' course for Ball State University to play the noble game of golf! Let's raise a tankard o' grog to his success!
Avast, me hearties! There be a real-life Happy Gilmore out there! This buccaneer may be as skilled as the fictional fella who won the Tour Championship against Shooter McGavin in that classic movie from 1996. This landlubber, whose real name be Landon, earned the nickname "Happy" when he was a wee lad of six playing golf. Now, he be a high school senior and a pretty good golfer, soon to be playing for Ball State University. He recently finished T-7 at the Indiana high school boys' golf state tournament, shooting even par over 36 holes. He also shot a 66 at the U.S. Junior Amateur qualifier and is ranked No. 497 in the Golfweek/Sagarin boys rankings. Arrr, when he starts his freshman year, he may want to steer clear of the "ninth green at 9." No word on if he'll be partnered with Bob Barker or "Lafferty Daniel," and his status for the Waterbury Open be unknown. This be a jolly good tale of a young lad pursuing his passion and finding success on the links. So, raise a tankard of grog to Happy Gilmore, and may the wind be always at his back!
