It's a family affair for Sandler in Happy Gilmore 2

RTÉ News​13 hours ago
The stars of Happy Gilmore 2 hit the green carpet in New York on Monday (July 21) to celebrate the film's upcoming release as Adam Sandler returns to the golf course as Happy Gilmore nearly 30 years after the original film.
Sandler is co-starring with his family alongside familiar faces from the first movie.
"My daughters are good," he said at the premiere. "They know what they're doing, they're working hard. They study and they want to get into this.
"So it's an honour to be with them and my wife's kickin' ass and having fun and we have nice times together making movies," Sandler said.
Also making appearances in the movie are singer Bad Bunny and American football star Travis Kelce.
The comedian revealed that it took roughly a year to come up with a solid script.
"We wrote a story with Carl Weathers. Unfortunately, Carl passed away and so we had to make a lot of adjustments and show the respect to the man. And we worked on the script, maybe a year, a year-and-a-half of trying to figure it out," Sandler added.
The film features numerous athletes, including veteran and current golfers including Bryson DeChambeau, who said the first film inspired him as a child.
"What Adam's done for the game 30 years ago inspired me to hit the ball really far. And now he's doing it again, hopefully inspiring a younger generation to go out and play golf. I couldn't love it more," said DeChambeau.
The film will begin streaming on Netflix on Friday July 25.

Crystal Palace to know European fate by 11 August after submitting appeal to CAS

CRYSTAL PALACE WILL learn no later than 11 August which European competition they will play in next season after submitting an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). The London club, who won last season's FA Cup, were demoted from the Europa League to the Conference League after falling foul of UEFA's rules governing multi-club ownership. European football's governing body determined that as of 1 March, American businessman John Textor had control or influence in Palace and French club Lyon. Where one or more club are found to have shared ownership, they cannot play in the same competition, and Lyon held on to the Europa League spot by virtue of their higher league position. Palace's place in the second-tier competition was taken by Nottingham Forest. Advertisement Earlier this summer, Drogheda United fell foul of the same rules when Silkeborg took the League of Ireland club's place in the Conference League and they were expelled entirely. The CAS issued a statement on Tuesday confirming it had received an appeal by Palace and would render an operative decision – without written reasons – on or before August 11. A date for the hearing has not yet been scheduled, the court said. The CAS confirmed Palace were seeking to take either Forest's or Lyon's place in the Europa League. Textor has agreed to sell his stake in Palace to New York Jets owner Woody Johnson, but the move came too late to satisfy UEFA. Palace's prospects looked brighter when Lyon were relegated to France's second division by the country's football finance regulator. Lyon had reached a settlement with UEFA agreeing to be excluded from European competition if their appeal against that sanction failed, but they managed to overturn the initial decision and hold on to their top-flight place. The CAS said parties were currently exchanging written submissions. Palace fans have staged protests against the ruling, and club chairman Steve Parish told The Rest Is Football podcast last week: 'We are still fighting. There's an appeal process, so we go to CAS which is the court for arbitration and, you know, we're very hopeful. We think we've got great legal arguments. 'We don't think this is the right decision by any means. We know unequivocally that John didn't have decisive influence over the club. 'We know we proved that beyond all reasonable doubt because it's a fact.'
