Ahead of the release ofHappy Gilmore 2, the iconic hockey-stick putter used by Adam Sandler’s titular character is now available for purchase. Along with using the hockey-stick putter to compete, Happy famously chases Shooter McGavin (Christopher McDonald) with it in the original movie.

What This Means For Happy Gilmore Fans
They Can Bring Their Happy Gilmore Dreams To Life
Happy Gilmorefans can now have their very own version of the hockey-stick putterto celebrate the original movie and the release of the sequel. Unlike many movie-related items that fans can buy, though, this is one that can actually be used, with a function that goes beyond just having it for display.

Fans can still bring the putter to the golf course and live out their own version ofHappy Gilmoresceneswhile playing with it.
Between the $499.99 price tag and being a limited-edition item,the putter does not come cheapand only a finite amount is being made. For those willing and able to spend the money, the exclusivity of the putter will make the purchase all the more exciting, especially after none are left to buy.
