Many different things help to make a film as great as it is. The stories, the acting, and the directing all come together to make a movie intriguing and engaging. There is nothing quite like being able to sit down and get lost in a movie that you love. This is why going to the cinema is such a popular evening activity. No matter what sort of interests or preferences you have with your pastimes, there is a good chance that you are always going to appreciate a good movie. 

Happy Gilmore (1996)

Professional Golfer

Does this make it a clean sweep for hockey for the 2015 Inductees?

While Gilmore was a washout as a hockey player, he did have a booming shot, which was about the only real hockey skill he had.  Gilmore would parlay that skill to hustling on the driving range, and when he learned from one armed golf pro, Chubbs Peterson how much money he could make playing professionally, he took to the links in order to raise enough money to save his beloved grandmother’s home.

Gilmore would gain a lot of fans on the tour and changed the dynamic of who watched golf.  The new blue collar slobs who frequented the gallery didn’t make Gilmore a lot of friends within his new peers, especially the slimy Shooter McGavin, who desperately wanted Happy off of the tour.

You know what happened right?  Happy Gilmore won the championship, saved his grandmother’s house and got a pre Modern Family, Julie Bowen, and on golf courses everywhere duffers constantly ask the ball if they are too good for their home when they miss their putt.

The Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame is proud to welcome Happy Gilmore to the 2015 Class!

There have been many movies about College Football but there has never been a more dominating player that Bobby Boucher, the water boy turned defensive beast for the South Central Louisiana State Mud Dogs. 

Boucher may not have been the cerebrally gifted player to ever visit the gridiron but his inner rage allowed him to deliver the most vicious hits in the NCAA and took a terrible team to the Bourbon Bowl.  Boucher’s prowess was so strong that the competition relied on playing only defence to keep the home grown Cajun off of the field.

You can do it Bobby!  You can play “foosball”.

The Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame is pleased to welcome Bobby Boucher into the Class of 2017.
