Set on the scenic Nantucket Island in Massachusetts, Sankaty Head is a world-class golf course that celebrated its centenary in 2023. It prides itself on the diversity of its membership and its balance of tradition and innovation. One of its finest traditions is its annual holiday dinner, where club members are treated to fine dining and the very best after-dinner speakers.
McDonald fits the bill perfectly, and not just because of his close links to golfing. With a stage and screen career that has endured for well over 40 years, he has long been recognized as one of Hollywood’s most versatile supporting actors. His credits include films such as Thelma & Louise, Grease 2, and X, as well as hit TV series such as Harry’s Law and, most recently, the Emmy Award-winning Hacks.
However, it is arguably Happy Gilmore that cinema and golf aficionados alike will know McDonald for. The 1996 comedy film saw him star as antagonist Shooter McGavin alongside Adam Sandler. The film, which has a sequel due in 2025, is well-loved among the golfing community, with everyone from putters to professionals mimicking the eccentric swing of Sandler’s character.
The cozy ambiance of the Sankaty Head clubhouse is the ideal setting for McDonald to meet fans and fellow golfers, and share anecdotes from his fascinating career.
