Subject: Another video question--early '60s

This is a day at the park in the summer of 1961 or 1962. If you watch through, my grandfather (the heavy fellow in the blue shirt--NOT the guy with the glasses) does this weird sort of jump thing after hitting the Golf Ball in the hole. As you can see, it's a humorous sort of move, even in context. My mother says (her speculation, not really confirmed) he was copying Jackie Gleason as my grandpa liked him a lot, but I can't find anything with Jackie like it. What do you think was he jokingly referring to with his little move?

It kind of looks like something Jackie Gleason would do but then again, maybe your grandfather might have just came up with that on his own.
