The Happy Gilmore Driving Technique – Can it Actually Produce Longer Drives?

Physical Education Update

One of my all-time favourite sports movies is “Happy Gilmore,” in which an ex-hockey player, played by Adam Sandler, takes up golf and uses a driving technique that is half golf drive and half hockey slapshot.
