Ever since Happy Gilmore released in 1996, we’ve known Shooter McGavin to be a bit of an asshole. The man did try to ruin Happy and his grandmother after feeling threatened about losing that gold jacket.
Anyway, one person who never forgot what Shooter did to Happy was Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. After McGavin tweeted at Rodgers about running to stay in shape, Rodgers fired his shot back and started a pretty hilarious Twitter war.
.@AaronRodgers12 Rodgers, you know playing golf is a great way to stay in shape? I remember I once ran 3 miles during a round of golf in '96 pic.twitter.com/dT7BB5gs4i

How much of a workout could it have been if you got caught by that guy?#alternativefacts #futurechamp #NationalParksWeek https://t.co/HHyNtiULMI

Larson being slow is fake news. The guy should have been in the NFL chasing quarterbacks and not on golf courses chasing innocent golfers https://t.co/aCnuEBQicu

Innocent? You had Gilmore run over in the final round and still couldn't beat him. Also you took out Gilmore's coach Chubbs. #whistleblower https://t.co/Boe4oSxS1H

To insinuate I had anything to do with that minor incident is a joke. Though, I do applaud that fan for confronting Happy in a civil manner. https://t.co/Ec7HSLqHTq

Minor incident? The two bikers in the woods was a minor incident that you used as an excuse for poor play. #CityOfPortlandHatesYou#Comedy https://t.co/AM5qJsrdn8

Sure Rodgers. You try passing to Jordy Nelson with two bikers having sex on the sidelines and let me know how that goes. #ChicagoHatesYou https://t.co/vHYeaFXHOR

It's called focus Shooter. Like the focus Happy showed on the 18th when the tower fell. Like the focus Happy had when he dropped Bob Barker https://t.co/Hnrtp1btwP

Focus? I think you meant to say Luck. The only thing Happy focused on was disgracing the game of golf. Barker won that fight too. #snackbar https://t.co/VGEpiRNMGJ

Happy tried to help Bob up, Bob cheapshotted him. You tried to hit on Virginia, she chose Happy. You went for Grandma. #facts #RIPChubbs https://t.co/p5d7bnJKh1

That clip is obliviously doctored. #fakenews
U passed up a free meal from an attempted murderer hired by you. U are what u eat for breakfast https://t.co/QDz8CU5x5T— Aaron Rodgers (@AaronRodgers12) April 20, 2017
The only thing doctored was that meeting. He wanted to meet Gilmore and I told him where they could meet. I had no idea he'd run him over. https://t.co/WOQdl2akNA

Do we have a problem? I've got Larson on call, he wants 2 just have a "meeting" with u. Btw Chubbs is dating Grandma in Heaven. U lose again https://t.co/NY3ptmxPO7

It was all in good fun and both Rodgers and the person behind the McGavin account really stayed in character as well as calling back important parts of the movie. As far as who won the Twitter war, I’m going to declare this a no decision because we as the public seemed to be the big winners.
