Who's ready for more golf shenanigans? Adam Sandler returns as everyone's favorite golfer in Happy Gilmore 2.
In the teaser trailer released by Netflix, Happy is back on the golf course after years removed from the game. According to Happy, he hasn't swung a club in years. However, he must find that "happy place" and showcase that powerful drive when he plays against some of the best golfers in the world. Happy doesn't have to do it alone, as his love interest, Virginia Venit (Julie Bowen), stands by him and provides words of encouragement.
"We're not done with golf," Venit tells Happy. "Let them see the Happy I fell in love with."

Virginia is not the only character from the original returning for the sequel. Happy's rival, Shooter McGavin (Christopher McDonald), and the nursing home dictator Hal (Ben Stiller) appear in the teaser.
