Full Swing Hits the Big Screen in Happy Gilmore 2, Netflix’s #1 Movie Debut
When Happy Gilmore 2 debuted on Netflix, it didn’t just bring Happy back to the course—it brought a wave of golf nostalgia and new energy to the game. With 46.7 million views in its first weekend, the film is officially the biggest U.S. film launch in Netflix history, and if you were watching closely, you may have spotted something familiar: Full Swing Simulators making multiple appearances during Happy’s return.
Full Swing’s presence on-screen wasn’t just a set piece—it was a nod to how far the game (and its technology) has come since the original Happy Gilmore hit theaters in 1996 and we’re proud to have been part of it. When it was time for Happy to get serious about a comeback, he was seen training with the same tech trusted by the best.
Full Swing on the Screen—and Behind the Scenes
You’ll also catch a few familiar faces throughout the movie from Team Full Swing, making appearances alongside Happy on his journey back into the game. These players trust our tech day in and day out—and so did the biggest golf comedy of all time when it needed a touch of authenticity.
From Tour Pros to Hollywood, the Best Trust Full Swing
We’ve always believed that if you want to play your best, you need the most trusted technology behind you. That’s why the game’s top players—from major champions to rising stars—train on Full Swing Simulators and the Full Swing KIT.
And now? You can say the same about Happy Gilmore.
