R.I.P. Bob

When Happy Gilmore (Adam Sandler) is paired up with Bob Barker for a celebrity golf tournament, he plays so poorly they end up in a punching match that went down as one of the best in cinematic history.

My wife walked into the study and told me this....and what she read online...and told me a very dark but funny thing she read about it.


He died at 99. He got as close as possible to 100 without going over!

RIP Bob
