When Happy's grandmother gets her house seized for tax reasons, he challenges golf to make money. His unusual swing and powerful batting make him attract a lot of attention on the golf course.
With the help of golf coach Chives Peterson (Carl Weathers), Happy sharpens his skills and becomes a professional golfer. He joins the PGA Tour to reclaim his grandmother's house, which is his goal. Happy's tough personality and non-traditional style of golfing shock the golfing world and attract many fans.
Meanwhile, Happy's main competitor, shooter McGavin (Christopher McDonald), tries to keep Happy in check and hinder his success. Happy plays the tournament with perseverance and passion despite the shooter's interference, and he is increasingly recognized for his golfing skills.
Eventually, Happy fights with a shooter at an important competition and succeeds in reclaiming her grandmother's house with a dramatic victory. The movie cheerfully depicts Happy changing her life and protecting her family and dreams through golf.
