What's everybody thing about Happy Gilmore 2? Obviously not going to win best picture, but I really enjoyed it and laughed my ass off.

It was better than I expected. Scottie, Bryson and Rory were really funny cameos

Exceeded expectations. Usually sequels are horrible. Definitely in Top 3 sequels of all time. Rambo 2, any John Wick and Happy Gilmore 2 in no order.

It will be interesting to see how that works out. My wife has worked with or for PE forever. Generally all do the same thing but it would be interesting to see how they do that with a company that believes its technology is superior. I don’t see how Lab could survive with just the models they have now so R&D would have to continue on at least the same budget.

Sorry to hear about your wife. Unless she’s a partner. Then good for you I suppose.

I’ve worked for a PE backed company once. Never again.

TaylorMade is owned by PE and people still seem willing to buy their clubs. There are plenty of companies that are owned by PE and operate completely fine—you just don’t hear about those ones as much.

It’s a lot of stress and besides one company she has always been an executive so the pay out on the exit has always been nice. It allowed her to take off extended periods of time to spend it with our kids and really accelerated our retirement timeline/networth. That being said I’ll be interested to see how it works for LAB. Can’t imagine a PE company dumping tons of money into R&D.

And they are once again for sale while they have been loosing market share on their drivers. Whatever the Korean company is that owns TM had to borrow $400M from a fashion company that has first right of refusal. It will be interesting to see what happens with them.

Will Zalatoris as the grown up caddie was hilarious. Probably my favorite part. Awesome he played along with it.

TaylorMade's quality control has also been getting a lot worse. They've had tons of problems with their last few models

Wow, good on her. PE is great if you’re one of the top few. For those of us a few rungs down it’s fucking awful.

The most apt description I've hear on Happy Gilmore 2 is that it's like buying a gas station hot dog. When you buy a gas station hot dog, your expectations are clearly low, so when it exceeds those low expectations it's decent.

It was like a hot dog on that gas station roller that had been there for 8-9 days, along with the 8-9 day old bun in the warming tray underneath?

Lee may disagree but I think it was like the dog that was perfectly done and bun was fresh. Then I found the chili and cheese dispensers that made the dog extra average.

My Qi10 LS was money today! If my putting was halfway decent I would have walked off with a 78 but I’ll take the 83 and be happy !

Agree. Cameos were good but the rest was painful.
