When you\u2019re known as “Happy Gilmore” on the golf course, Adam Sandler<\/u><\/a> is bound to take notice.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The star of the 1996 film hopped on Twitter Friday to congratulate high school golfer Happy Gilmore<\/u><\/a> on his commitment to Ball State University.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Go get em Happy,” Sandler wrote. “Pulling for you.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gilmore, whose real name is Landon, started going by “Happy” as a nickname when he was young and began to compete in tournaments.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“My mom said it was before this, but I really remember it when I was like 9 years old,” he said in June 2022, per the Indianapolis Star. “Then when I was like 13, I started going by \u2018Happy\u2019 all the time.”<\/p>\n

Gilmore announced his commitment to the Ball State golf program<\/u><\/a> on Friday as part of the 2024 class.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I am very excited to announce that I have committed to continue my academic and golf career<\/u><\/a> at Ball State University,” Gilmore wrote. “I am very grateful for the opportunity Coach Fleck has given me! I would like to thank my family, my friends and coaches who push me everyday!”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 17-year-old said Ball State was the perfect place for him to continue his athletic career.<\/p>\n

“Going into the whole recruiting process, I had such an open mind and had nowhere that I was set on going,” Gilmore told GolfChannel.com on Friday via phone. “After calls with Coach [Mike] Fleck, I went up and visited, and I loved the campus; it’s small. Their schedule is jam-packed with good teams all year. I know a few of the guys. They have a really nice indoor practice facility. And so, it was just a perfect fit for me.”<\/p>\n

Gilmore has starred for Bloomington South High School<\/u><\/a> in Indiana and recently shot a 66 at the U.S. Junior Amateur qualifier.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He is currently ranked 481st on Golfweek\u2019s Boys Junior Rankings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to his website, Gilmore finished T-17 at the 2022 State Finals in his sophomore season and was named to the All-State team for the second year in a row.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“No matter where I play at, someone will see my scorecard,” Gilmore told GolfChannel.com. “So, when I shot an 88 at that [U.S. Open] local qualifier [earlier this year], I was really hoping no one would see that. That kind of blew up a little bit. There’s good and bad, I guess, but I have a really great attitude, and I don’t let anything bother me. Honestly, I love when I go through and read comments of people poking fun.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
