Happy Gilmore versus a clown? Celebrate that and more on National Miniature Golf Day

Saturday is National Miniature Golf Day

Happy Gilmore was obviously none too pleased with the clown in that famous golf movie. 

Any fan of that movie -- and there lots of them -- cracks up at the scene where Gilmore (or Adam Sandler as he's known in real life) gets so mad over not being able to putt the ball past a clown obstacle on a minigolf course that he smashes the clown's nose with his putter and screams at it in frustration.
