The Odyssey Happy Gilmore Hockey Stick Putter has been created in celebration of the upcoming release of Happy Gilmore 2 to offer fans of the comedic franchise to get their hands on. The putter is positioned as a hybrid piece of equipment that looks and feels like a hockey stick, but is suited for use as a putter on the golf course. This comes as a nod to the storyline of Happy Gilmore where the main character, played by Adam Sandler, uses a hockey stick instead of traditional golf clubs to become a superstar on the green.
The Odyssey Happy Gilmore Hockey Stick Putter is priced at $499 and comes with a commemorative sock head cover to keep it fresh between uses.
