Sandler clearly trying to unite golf with this cast. Too bad the script had to rewrite Chubbs’ role—RIP Carl Weathers 💔

They better nail the tribute. Original wouldn’t work without Chubbs’ wisdom ('It’s all in the hips!').

Bad Bunny Surprised Adam Sandler With Secret Golf Skills During Happy Gilmore 2 Filming – Fans Want to See His Cameo Now!
Wait… Bad Bunny can actually golf? How good is he really?
During the filming of Happy Gilmore 2, Adam Sandler was reportedly stunned by Bad Bunny’s hidden golf talents. The Grammy-winning artist, who appears in a cameo role, showed skills that seemed to come out of nowhere. While no official handicap has been revealed, witnesses on set described his swing as “surprisingly polished” for someone primarily known for music.
This isn’t the first time celebrities have shocked people with unexpected athletic abilities, but Bad Bunny’s case stands out because golf requires such specific technique. Golf pros who visited the set were said to be impressed with his natural ball-striking ability.









What other celebrities have secret sports skills we don’t know about?
The revelation about Bad Bunny’s golf game makes you wonder what other stars might be hiding serious athletic prowess. Justin Timberlake, for instance, is a low-handicap golfer who could probably play competitively. Mark Wahlberg’s boxing skills from movie roles translate to real ring ability, and Jamie Foxx was reportedly good enough at baseball to have considered going pro.
The most surprising might be Steve Carell, who was an accomplished hockey player in his youth and still plays regularly in celebrity games. These hidden talents often come out during charity events or film productions where athletes and actors cross paths.

How much screen time does Bad Bunny actually get in Happy Gilmore 2?
While exact details are being kept under wraps, insiders suggest Bad Bunny’s appearance is brief but memorable – estimated at about 3-5 minutes of screen time. His scene reportedly takes place at a celebrity pro-am tournament where Happy Gilmore makes his return to competitive golf.
The cameo was initially meant to be a simple celebrity appearance, but after seeing Bad Bunny’s golf skills, the writers apparently expanded his role slightly to showcase his abilities. He’s said to have one particularly impressive shot that becomes a standout moment in the film.


Could Bad Bunny’s cameo lead to more sports movie roles?
The music superstar has already shown impressive range as an actor, with his dramatic performance in ‘Bullet Train’ earning praise. Now with his demonstrated golf skills, the door might be open for sports movie opportunities.
There’s already speculation about potential projects: a golf comedy where he plays a talented amateur, a baseball movie capitalizing on his Puerto Rican heritage, or even a basketball film given his height (6’0″) and athleticism. His ability to perform sports authentically on camera gives him an edge over actors who need stand-ins or CGI assistance.






What are the chances we’ll see Happy Gilmore 3?
With Happy Gilmore 2 coming nearly 30 years after the original, another sequel seems unlikely – but never say never. Adam Sandler has expressed how much he enjoys returning to this character, and if the Netflix film performs well, discussions about continuing the story could begin.
The original Happy Gilmore was made for $12 million and grossed over $41 million. If the sequel demonstrates similar financial success relative to its budget, Netflix would certainly consider greenlighting another installment. The key factor might be whether they can find fresh golf comedy territory to explore rather than rehashing old jokes.
Potential directions for Happy Gilmore 3
| Idea | Potential |
|---|---|
| Happy coaching a young golfer | High – Allows for new dynamic |
| Senior golf tour storyline | Medium – Good for laughs but limited |
| Happy’s kid becomes a golfer | Low – Too predictable |
Where was Happy Gilmore 2 filmed? Real golf course locations revealed
The production used several prominent golf courses across North America, blending glamorous tournament locations with the working-class aesthetic that defines Happy’s character. Primary filming occurred at:
- Pebble Beach Golf Links – For the climactic tournament scenes
- Torrey Pines – Standing in for several PGA Tour stops
- Arizona’s TPC Scottsdale – The famous 16th hole appears
- Local municipal courses in Vancouver – For Happy’s home course
The choice of locations maintains continuity with the original film’s spirit while showcasing some of golf’s most photogenic venues. Production designers intentionally contrasted the elite country club settings with Happy’s underdog persona.



Bad Bunny as Happy’s caddie? Genius or gimmick? The man can do anything, but I hope this isn’t just stunt casting. That golf swing better not be CGI 🏌️♂️
Dude crushed it according to Sandler. Sounds like his cameo might steal the show—who knew a reggaeton star could out-act half the PGA Tour?
Hard pass. Stick to music. This feels like Netflix throwing famous names at a wall to hide mediocre writing.
Travis Kelce AND Bad Bunny in this? Either this movie’s gonna be hilariously chaotic or a total trainwreck. No in-between.
