Mike Tindall is known for his unique sense of humour, and in his latest Instagram post is no exception
During a charity golf event in Sutton Coldfield, the royal , 45, jokingly declared his interest in Adam Sandler’s role as the high-strung hockey player in a sequel to Happy Gilmore, as he told a golf ball to ‘kiss his white a**’.
The husband of King Charles’s niece Zara filmed the clip at a golf event for charity to raise money for Parkinson’s last week alongside his wife Zara, and guests including Zara’s brother Peter Phillips, Peter’s ex-wife Autumn, and long-time family friend Dolly Maude at the Belfry Golf Course.
In a bizarre impression, the former rugby union player reenacted the famous scene from the 1996 comedy film where the hot-tempered Happy lashed out after his shot missed the golf cup.
Taking to Instagram to share the lighthearted impression, Mike wrote: ‘If @adamsandler is unavailable for Happy Gilmore 2 then…’
In the clip Mike leaned over the ball and jokingly shouted: ‘What’s the matter with you? Are you too good for your home? Kiss my white a** ball!,’.

The event, ISPS Handa Mike Tindall Celebrity Golf Classic tournament, is the 11th golf charity event hosted by Mike and is raising money for the Matt Hampson Foundation and the Cure Parkinson’s charity.
And despite the day being full of golfing activities designed to raise money for the Parkinson’s charity, Mike made time to recreate a scene from Happy Gilmore.
While shouting down the golf cup, Mike read the lines: ‘Get in your hole, what’s the matter with you? You too good for your hole? Kiss my white a** ball.’
The event was held at the Belfry Hotel and Resort in Sutton Coldfield, and several of the couple’s friends attended, including Dame Denise Rosemarie Lewis DBE, actor James Nesbitt and former competitive swimmer Mark Foster.
The celebrity guests matched in bright pink polo necks, with some head to toe in the hue as they also donned hot pink trousers – Mike, of course, leading the way.
It comes after Mike joked that he has ‘never been arrested’ while chatting to guests at a Buckingham Palace garden party on Tuesday.
The ex England rugby star, 45, appeared in high spirits as he turned up to support Prince William, who hosted his first Buckingham Palace garden party of the year without the Princess of Wales.
Despite the rainy weather, the father-of-three remained enthusiastic when chatting to guests and one had encountered Mike before.
The guest, who was not identified in footage of the event, explained that she and her male companion knew Mike from Saracens – the professional rugby union club based in North London, saying: ‘He played with you and I policed you.’
In a quick-witted response, the former rugby union player joked back: ‘You policed me? I’ve never been arrested…’

Adding to the humour, Mike cheekily glanced to one side after making the witty remark.
After he landed his joke, the Buckingham Palace garden party guest replied: ‘When you were commentating.’
Mike, however, has been arrested when he was pulled over for drink driving in 2008.
The then 29-year-old Gloucester centre was pulled over by police on the M4 near Reading, Berkshire, the morning after a day at the races in Cheltenham with Zara.
He was banned from driving for three years and fined £500, having been disqualified for 16 months in 2000 after another drink driving offence.
At the garden party, Mike was joined by his wife, Zara Tindall, 43, at the event – as well as Princesses Beatrice and Eugene.
It was Zara who wore the stand-out outfit of the afternoon, wowing in a £1,500 Laura Green London Isobel Dress in white, with added pink buttons. To match her ensemble, she added a stylish Rosa Boater hat and pink suede heels.

Zara was stylish but practical in the inclement weather, adding heel stoppers to the bottom of her shoes to prevent her sinking into the ground, while a black umbrella shielded her from the rain – and looked like it was always meant to be a part of the look.
Meanwhile, her husband Mike, looked handsome in a dapper suit, pink tie, and top hat.
The display seemed to convey quintessential Britishness as the royals shielded from the rain – but crowds still flocked to the ‘summer’ garden party.
William’s presence, alongside the King’s nieces and nephew, will inevitably be seen as a sign of family unity at a difficult time. The cousins showed further unity by matching their stylish ensembles, as Eugenie and Beatrice also opted for a colour scheme of pink and white to match Zara.
Charles, 75, has a packed diary with public engagements on all but one day this week, despite his wife, Queen Camilla, often urging him to slow down a little.

The pair enjoyed a visit to the Chelsea Flower Show on Monday, where they toured the garden – while Camilla even revealed she’s seen the first episode of Bridgerton.
While the King continues to undergo treatment each engagement is being carefully calibrated to balance his desire to work with his health.
Guests began to file in from 3pm in order to enjoy the tea tents and palace grounds, despite grey skies and rain.
Around 8,000 people are invited to each party, nominated by sponsors including Lord-Lieutenants, government departments, charities, the military and Faith groups.
The royal party arrive, as usual, at 4pm on the terrace to the rear of the palace via The Carnarvon Room.
They stood for the National Anthem before being escorted down to the lawn before circulating through distinct ‘lanes’ under the guidance of gentleman ushers in order to meet as many members of the public as possible.
During the garden party William will meet guests from a number of both his own and his wife’s patronages, military affiliations and passion projects including his Homewards initiative to combat homelessness, RAF Valley (the Welsh base where the prince worked as an RAF Search and rescue pilot), Swim England and tenants across the Duchy of Cornwall sites.
The inclusion of those with links to the Princess of Wales suggests that when planning for the garden party began last year it had been expected that Kate would attend.
