Boston Bruins NHL Cap | To complete the hockey-inspired look, top off the costume with a Boston Bruins hockey team cap. This will show your true love for the sport and the team, just like Happy Gilmore. |
Shoes | Happy isn’t a professional golfer and golf shoes are foreign to him, so he makes do with a comfortable pair of dark brown rubber shoes while he’s on the course. These shoes are easy to move in, and represents his lack of experience in golfing but his love for sports in general. |
Golf Club |
A key element of the costume is a golf club, as it is essential to show off Happy’s amazingly powerful slapshot skills. The club will also help you to complete the look of Happy Gilmore, a golfer who is not a professional but who has a great passion for it. |
