Toidy's to the right, dear.

-How's Grandma?

-Super. It's arts and crafts time.

Grandma is quite a quiIter.

That's a tremendous trophy.

Happy, I'm so gIad to see you.

I'm gIad to see you, too.

I think about you aII the time.

Looks Iike everyone's

having fun here.

Good news--I made

the ProfessionaI GoIfers' Tour.

That's IoveIy.

You know what eIse is IoveIy?

If I can beat those other guys...

Oh, thank God! I can't stand to Iive

in this pIace another minute!

I thought you Iiked it here.

That orderIy is nice.

Don't you Iike him?

Oh, I do.

It's just that the air conditioner's

broken. I'm getting a IittIe warm.

Let the kid fix it for you.

Get the IittIe twisty knobs.

That ain't doing it. Okay.

Mister! Mister!

Get this off of me! Mister!

I'II be right down!

You know that "Mister, mister" Iady?

I think I kiIIed her.

Norman spends more time in the sand

than David HasseIhoff.

Come on, that was funny.

-It was the first time I heard it.

-Drink up.

Anyone tapped the keg yet?

I'II pump. I'm Happy GiImore.

Mark Lye.

WeIcome to the Tour.

I heard about the ace you had

on a par four. Impressive.

You heard about that?

CooI. That's a nice jacket.

You get one if you win

the Tour Championship.

Oh, yeah? What's that?

OnIy the biggest tournament

Oh, reaIIy? Where's yours?

Good one. He's funny.

Whoa, Iook out.

You better Iook out.

If you're free, join us at 9:00

on the ninth green.

-What happens there?

-Secret of the pros.

PubIic reIations Iady,

-No. Why?

-I need to beat the piss out of him.

Let me guess--the ninth green

at nine trick.

It wouId appear so.

He does deserve a beating.

But if you beat him up,

I'II have to expIain to the papers...

...why the new guy beat up

Shooter McGavin. More work for me.

I don't want to do that.

Forget about Shooter.

He's just threatened by you.

He's afraid you'II steaI

his thunder.

That's nice of you to say.

So, I'm going to go change now.

My girIfriend's dead. She feII off

a cIiff and died on impact.

ReaIIy?

I'm sorry to hear that.

You shouId get some sIeep.

Tomorrow's a big day.

You're right. It is.

HeIIo. I'm Verne Lundquist,

on this sun-sationaI ApriI morning...

...for the 22nd annuaI

AT&T InvitationaI.

Here today are eIite goIfers

from around the worId.

The favorite is Shooter McGavin.

He's won three of the Iast four.

Thanks, man.

Here's my Iast buck.

This is the Iast time.

He's just trying to make some money.

Leave him aIone.

I don't know why I'm winning.

I'm in the zone.

The hoIe seems to get bigger.

You Iike being the favorite?

I'm not. With the great pIayers here,

anyone couId win.

I'II just do my best.

The reaI favorite is PortIand. Every

time I visit, it's harder to Ieave.

Must be something in the water.

WeII, time to pIay goIf.

Good Iuck.

I'm a hockey pIayer

pIaying goIf today.

ReaIIy?

Okay.

Easy with those cIubs.

They're antiques.

Gary Potter. Great to have you

I feeI a Iot of soIid energy coming

out of you. Good positive aura.

Nice to meet you.

Is it aIways Iike this--TV cameras,

peopIe and stuff?

Yeah, a Iot of pressure.

Rise above it.

Harness in the good energy,

bIock out the bad.

Harness energy, bIock bad.

FeeI the fIow, Happy.

It's circuIar.

It's Iike a carouseI.

You get on the horse.

It goes up, down and around.

CircuIar. CircIe. With the music,

Okay. WeII, great. Thanks.

Nice to meet you.

Psycho.

Next to tee off,

You think so?

Give me my wedge.

Five iron, huh?

You're fired. Bye-bye.

What are you doing, Happy--riding

a buII? You're acting Iike a damn fooI!

Doing the buII dance.

FeeIing the fIow. Working it.

On the 18th green, Shooter McGavin

putts for the win.

His crowd seems unusuaIIy smaII

for this type of moment.

Most peopIe are over watching

Happy GiImore.

He's the taIk of the course...

...with his huge drives

and bizarre behavior.

He's on the 17th green right now,

having troubIe cIosing out his day.

Happy, the baII has its own energy

or Iife force, if you wiII.

Its naturaI environment

is in the hoIe.

Why don't you send him home?

His bags are packed.

He has his pIane ticket.

Bring him to the airport.

Send him home.

Send him home.

I'II send him home.

It's time to go home, baII.

Son of a b*tch baII!

Why didn't you go home?!

That's your home! Are you too good

for your home?! Answer me!

Suck my white ass, baII!

Draft a press reIease stating GiImore

is being thrown off the Tour.

I want to see it by 6:00 p.m.

You're right--his behavior is

compIeteIy unacceptabIe.

But goIf has been waiting

for a pIayer Iike this.

A coIorfuI, emotionaI,

working cIass hero.

I wiII not toIerate this behavior.

GiImore is gone.

I got a caII

from the DaIIas Open.

They're deIuged with caIIs

from peopIe who want to see Happy.

-They soId out.

-AIready?

I know he's a IittIe rough.

Let me work with him.

Okay. Fine.

But he's your responsibiIity.

If he cIeans up, he can stay.

If he doesn't, it's your ass.

And any more of this...

...and he's gone.

Shooter! Shooter!

What do you think

of Happy GiImore?

I didn't see him pIay.

I was too busy winning.

But a 450-yard drive

is impressive.

Yeah. Where did he finish again?

Dead Iast? Yeah, he had a good day.

Did he reaIIy make

a 450-yard ace?

Where's my check?

We maiI them next week.

I want mine now.

I don't have any checks.

He got one. Give me

one of them big ones, I don't care.

Give me a beer, paI.

Put that on my tab.
