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.
