"I want to be a pro golfer." ~ Happy Gilmore
Since he was old enough to swing a club, Happy has dedicated himself to the sport with only one dream in mind..becoming a professional golfer. Early Years: Starting out, Happy idolized Ricky Fowler and wore Ricky's famous all orange PUMA outfit most of the time. He still wears wild colors in tournaments today!
The Name
The most asked question Happy gets everywhere he goes is; "Is your name really Happy Gilmore?" Although he is known on tour as Happy Gilmore, Happy was born Landon James Gilmore. The nickname "Happy" came when he won a long drive competition at a tournament around the age of 9. Some heckler called him Happy and it stuck. It quickly became his favorite movie and he worked hard to craft the "Happy Gilmore Swing" from the movie but for fun, not in competition!
