With a booming drive that rivals the best in the game and an attitude that’s anything but traditional, Happy quickly finds himself at odds with the pompous and scheming Shooter McGavin. But there’s more at stake than just pride; Happy is determined to win a PGA tournament to save his beloved grandmother’s home, which adds a heartfelt touch to the outrageous antics and comedic misadventures that unfold on the green.
