"Damn you people. This is golf. Not a rock concert."

No one takes the sport of golf more seriously than fictional golf legend Shooter McGavin, the archvillain of the 1996 Adam Sandler film Happy Gilmore.

And really, what's his true crime other than being competitive and wanting to succeed in his field? Oh, he's really mean to the titular character's grandma and stuff. That's pretty messed up.

This fictional great (played by actor Christopher McDonald) came face-to-face with a real-life golf legend, Tiger Woods, this weekend at the U.S. Open—and the pair snapped an epic selfie, naturally.

The two were all smiles, for now, but we'd love to see what happens when they hit the green together.

As for McDonald, kudos on the stellar selfie game! Time for that signature Shooter celebration...
