Just to remind you that stupidity is contagious, a Nova Scotia golfer using Adam Sandler's running start golf swing in Happy Gilmore has been sued by a golfing partner. Seems that the plaintiff was struck by the ball hit awry, which led to him losing his job as a woodsman.

A woodsman? Maybe he should be using his irons.

According to Hollywood Reporter -- must've been a slow show biz news day -- Travis Hayter "tried to impress his golfing buddies during a bachelor party outing that included beer, tequila, and marijuana."

No. Really?

The ball reportedly bounced off the plaintiff's wrist and chest, permanently damaging his radial nerve that, as we all know, is crucial to woodsman activities.

We expect Hayter to fall back on the Padraig Harrington defense evident in the video clip posted above. During an episode of Sports Science, Harrington -- a PGA pro who should know better -- declares the Happy Gilmore shot to be legal, if not entirely safe.
