Does the Happy Gilmore Swing actually work?



Remember the Adam Sandler movie, Happy Gilmore? Most of you probably do but for those of you that do not, Adam Sandler plays an aspiring hockey player who takes up golf to pay for his grandmother's unpaid taxes.

Sandler in the movie is known for the run-up swing that hits the ball a lengthy distance. Well, the people at Sports Science wondered if running up to the ball and swinging actually made a difference in the length that the ball traveled. So they enlisted the help of PGA player Padraig Harrington and the results are in the video above.

Also, the best moment of Happy Gilmore will always be Bob Barker beating up Adam Sandler:
