The golf world is buzzing with the possibility of a rare “links double” following a dominant performance by a rising star. After a commanding victory over Nelly Korda, the question on everyone’s mind is whether this golfer can carry that momentum to the AIG Women’s Open next week.
A Weekend Masterclass
The recent tournament saw a remarkable display of consistent play. “She didn’t make a bogey on Saturday and made just one on Sunday,” noted Josh Berhow, highlighting the recipe for success in major championships. “but if you rewatch her press conferences from the week, none of this looked too big for her. She was ready for the moment, knew her game was good and trusted it.” This level of composure and belief suggests she’s poised to be a significant contender, even being called ”a problem for the U.S. Solheim Cup squad.”
“Happy Gilmore 2” Sparks Debate Among Golf Fans
The long-awaited sequel to the cult classic “Happy Gilmore” finally hit Netflix, and it certainly generated discussion, especially among golf enthusiasts.The film featured numerous cameos from professional golfers, adding an extra layer of intrigue for fans of the sport.
mixed Reviews for the Sequel
While the original “Happy Gilmore” remains a beloved comedy, the reception to its sequel has been decidedly mixed.”Many people close to the game wanted something just as classic as the original.They seemed disappointed,” shared Zak. “Many others didn’t care what they were receiving and simply loved seeing Scottie scheffler in comedic form. They seemed content!” Zak drew a parallel to “Space Jam 2,” suggesting that perhaps the magic of these quirky sports movies resonated more strongly in the 90s.
Josh Berhow echoed these sentiments, wishing for a more golf-centric experience. “I think I would have liked it more if it was a little more golfy and less like playing Golden Tee,” he admitted. “But when you think of past Sandler movies this kind of fits that script – it doesn’t take itself too seriously. Cool to see the sequel to this come to life but was always going to be hard to top the original.”
A Hit with the Next Generation?
Interestingly, the film also found an audience with younger viewers. Basic shared that his 13-year-old son,who had never seen the original “Happy Gilmore” before,gave the sequel a positive review. “He said he particularly enjoyed the Gold Jacket dinner scene in which Jack Nicklaus orders an iced tea and lemonade, oblivious to the drink’s common name,” Basic recounted. His son also praised Scottie Scheffler’s acting, adding to the golfer’s already impressive resume. “Is there anything that guy can’t do?”
