Adam Sandler’s ‘Happy Gilmore’ sequel Instagram post has people psyched
In case you missed it, a sequel to Happy Gilmore is happening. And to mark the beginning of production, star Adam Sandler posted a photo on Instagram that has people ready to go eat some hay, lay by the bay, and make things out of clay.
Following a post by Netflix’s official account on Monday, Sandler posted the same image on his own page, a photo of the hockey jersey his character defiantly dons playing golf in the first film. In reference to a quote from Happy Gilmore, Sandler captioned the post, “It ain’t over. The way I see it… we’ve only just begun.”
It’s the jersey Happy Gilmore insists on wearing when Chubbs Peterson (the late, great Carl Weathers, who passed away in February) lambasts him for not wearing golfcore. Happy replies, “If I saw myself in clothes like that, I’d have to kick my own ass.”
It’s all in the hips.

The Netflix-produced sequel to Sandler’s 1996 comedy about a terrible hockey player turned accidental golf pro will see Sandler back in one his most iconic screen roles, with Murder Mystery director Kyle Newacheck at the helm. Sandler wrote the screenplay with Tim Herlihy, and Happy Gilmore director Dennis Dugan is executive producing.
