Happy Gilmore has officially committed to play college golf at Ball State University.
No, not that one.
It turns out there’s an actual Indiana high school golfer who goes by Happy Gilmore who, kinda-sorta like his namesake, is great on the links. The senior at Bloomington South High School will take his talents north and join the Cardinals, who are coming off a second-place finish in this year’s MAC Conference Tournament.
It’s a solid pickup for Ball State — an all-state talent capable of shooting even par or better under the brightest spotlights high school golf has to offer. But let’s be honest; the only reason we’re talking about this (legitimately impressive) guy is because his name rules.
I am very excited to announce that I have committed to continue my academic and golf career at Ball State University. 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! @BallStateMGolf pic.twitter.com/nz36to47J2
