Bruins Foundation to host "Swing Like Happy Gilmore Long Drive Contest"

Milan Lucic and Tim Thomas are hosting a "Swing Like Happy Gilmore Long Drive Contest" on September 1st from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. at Golf Country in Middleton (the driving range next to Richardson's Ice Cream) to raise money for the Bruins Foundation. For $10, fans will get three Sandler-like swings to hit a golf ball as far as possible. The long drive champ will receive an invite for dinner for 2 at this year's Bruins Foundation Golf Tournament and an autographed Milan Lucic jersey. The runner-up will get a hockey stick-inspired putter signed by Milan Lucic and Tim Thomas. The Bruins Foundation will also hold raffles for Bruins memorabilia at the event.

"Step right up folks. See if you can outdrive the amazing golf...ball, uh, whacker guy." - Happy Gilmore

The staff at Golf Country just asks that you refrain from training for hockey try-outs in their batting cages...

Golf will help me forget the horror

All Happy Gilmore makes me think of now is when i went down to NC to watch the Canes v. B’s playoff game. Before the Canes came out onto the ice, they played the clip of Sandler in his B’s jersey getting his ass kicked by Bob Barker. Ill give it to them it was pretty funny, but it must have worked cause it was game 4 that they ended up winning. Oh well, maybe this will help me forget that memory
