Sure, his swing is fun to mimic on therangeand he did overcome a 4 shot deficit at the Tour Championship to beat Shooter McGavin, but his antics and lack of consistent overall play is not world-class.
If you were trying to become a pro golfer, Happy Gilmore isn’t exactly the 1st choice to be your role model and inspiration.
But pro golfer Steven Bowditch found himself in a sticky situation when he was out of a caddie.
The 35-year-old Australian did his best Happy Gilmore impersonation and took to Twitter to find a kid to carry his clubs for The John Deere Classic in the Chicago area this weekend.
Any local kids/college players in the Quad cities area that are interested in caddying in the tournament this week, this thread is for you. The best response/reason gets the job. 2pm Tues start, finish Friday. 1% chance Sunday. Payment: all leftover gloves and balls are yours ?

I️ visit my grandparents farm nearby. I️ve played the course and loved it. Two of my uncles work for John Deere. I’m a caddy at my local country club and on the golf team. I️ turn 17 on Friday and helping you make the cut would be a great birthday present! I️ love Australia

Remember ol’ Happy getting the assigned the kid caddie to help him win his first tournament and then picking up a homeless caddie for the rest of the tour?
Kind of a similar situation, and we hope Elias and Bowdo become good friends after the tournament.
And if you’re getting ready to hit the links this summer, be sure to grab William Murray Golf CRITTER CAMO POLO. It’s got the looks and the feel to have you playing like Happy from the tee box.
