Well, lace up your skates and dodge the alligators, you fairway-flinging puck-chasers—Callaway’s Odyssey Hockey Stick Putter has slashed onto the green like Happy Gilmore himself, ready to slap-shot your short game into a Boston Bruins victory lap! Launched July 11, 2025, for $499.99, this limited-edition, non-conforming collectible—available at golfgalaxy.com—pairs a nostalgic hockey stick design with modern tech and a tube sock headcover that’d make Chubbs Peterson proud. I’ve been shanking putts since my game was more bogey than birdie, so let’s grip this quirky club and see if it’s my ticket to “just tap it in” glory—or just a hilarious whiff into the clown’s mouth!

The Odyssey Happy Gilmore 2 Hockey Stick Putter, announced on July 11, 2025, and available for purchase starting July 25, 2025, is priced at $499.99 and sold through callawaygolf.com, DICK’S Sporting Goods, and Golf Galaxy. Timed with the Netflix release of Happy Gilmore 2 on July 25, 2025, this limited-edition putter celebrates the iconic hockey stick club used by Adam Sandler’s character in the original 1996 film and its sequel. The putter features a 44-inch stainless steel head with a 57° lie angle, 0° loft, and a 21-inch pistol grip, designed to mimic a hockey stick and support Happy’s slap-shot putting style. It includes Odyssey’s White Hot urethane insert in the primary hitting area, with auxiliary inserts at the heel and toe for consistent feel, and a black stepless steel shaft for a sleek look.
The putter is non-conforming to the Rules of Golf due to its flat-backed design, making it a novelty item for collectors and casual players rather than competitive use. The accompanying tube sock headcover, styled in Boston Bruins colors (black, gold, white) with “HAPPY” and “Just tap it in” stitching, enhances its nostalgic appeal. Golf Monthly testing by Johnny Percival noted the putter’s unique feel, with the 44-inch shaft and extra weight requiring adjustment, though the large face ensures contact even on off-center hits. The putter’s design prioritizes fun, aligning with the film’s irreverent tone, and complements Callaway’s simultaneous release of Chrome Tour Happy Gilmore 2 golf balls ($59.99 per dozen) featuring quotes like “Just tap it in” and “It’s all in the hips.”
Stock is limited, with posts on X reporting the putter sold out online in hours, and secondary markets like eBay listing units at higher prices, following the $8,000 precedent set by the 1996 version. Callaway’s collaboration with Netflix and Happy Madison, backed by pros like Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler in the film, amplifies demand. Free U.S. shipping applies on orders over $100, with a 30-day return policy for unused items and a one-year warranty per Callaway’s policy. The putter is a cultural keepsake for fans, not a performance tool, capitalizing on golf’s growing casual appeal.
Dash to golfgalaxy.com and nab this Happy Gilmore 2 gem—your bag’s craving the nostalgic swagger, and it won’t wait for your next missed putt! Buy Now and Tap It In!
