No “Happy Gilmore” in Canada

happy-gilmore

Remember Happy Gilmore, the greatest golf movie to hit screens since Caddyshack? More importantly, do you remember his awesome  running swing? Well, if you golf in Canada nowadays, that swing is illegal. You heard it, against the law. After a man recently hit another golfer with the ball after swinging like Happy Gilmore, a judge ruled in favor of the victim!

So, even though the shot us by no means against the rules (though it’s not exactly in good taste), in Nova Scotia the shot is against the law.

Read the whole story here.

I think because the swing resulted in a ball hit "abnormally hard on the course," it shouldn't have been something to worry about - thus the victim wasn't prepared..... I call BS.
