“I’m scared,” Sandler says, before addressing his nemesis in the film, played by Christopher McDonald. “Shooter McGavin, this is for you.”

After teeing off, Sandler says: “I’m not lying to you, that is smashed. Smashed. That went pretty well. You’re dead, Shooter.”

McDonald filmed his own video response, saying: “Nice drive, Gilmore,” before teeing off in his living room. “25 years, huh? Let’s see if it’s Shooter’s tour.”

He added: “Thank you to all the fans and thank you to you, Adam Sandler. Why don’t you just meet me at the ninth green at 9? Oh, and Gilmore – wear something nice.”

Last year, Netflix confirmed that streamers have watched over two billion hours of Adam Sandler films, with his latest comedy Hubie Halloween becoming their highest-ranking original movie of 2020 in the US.







Sandler, who also starred in the Safdie brothers’ Uncut Gems at the start of the year, embarked on a deal with Netflix in 2014 to produce four films for the platform exclusively.
