Sandy MacReedy: I want you to kill every gopher on the course.

Carl Spackler: Correct me if I'm wrong, Sandy, but if I kill all the golfers they're gonna lock me up and throw away the key.

Sandy MacReedy: Gophers! You great git! Not golfers! The little brown furry rodents!

Carl Spackler: We can do that. We don't even have to have a reason.

Mistakes

Early in the film, when Ted Knight arrives at the final hole and Rodney calls out "1000 bucks you miss the putt", we initially watch Ted line up the putt and it is only about 2 feet long (shoulder width). The shadow from his head is only a few inches from the hole. After getting flustered by Rodney's bet, Ted again sets up over the ball, and suddenly the putt has doubled in length. More importantly, the sky has changed from mostly sunny to considerably cloudy and the shadow from his head is at least 4 feet from the hole. See more...

Just after Judge Smails throws his putter in anger toward the clubhouse, an extra in the background also throws a club in the opposite direction for no reason. [I'm sorry! This is a mistake how? Is there a golf rule that only 1 person at a time can be angry on a golf course and throw their putter?]
Edit Corrected by SAZOO1975
In one scene Danny is about to have sex with his girlfriend, another caddy is outside the window jumping up and down, trying to get a look, Danny flips him off and closes the shade. Cut to outside, the caddy is still standing there but he's the same height as the window, so he wouldn't need to jump. [In the exterior shot, the bottom edge of the window is about six feet up; the caddy is well under six feet tall. Although he could see into the room, he would not be able to see anything on Maggie's bed without jumping. He's mostly jumping to annoy Noonan anyway. This is not an error.]
Edit
In the scene where Danny has been summoned to the Judge's office at the Country Club, Ted Knight's character knocks the lamp off the table because it is in the way as they are talking. As Danny leaves the room, the lamp is on the desk. [The judge never knocks the lamp off the table. He pushes it hard away, but the lamp moves to the edge of the table and stays there. You can see part of the lampshade as they are talking, after he pushes the lamp.]

In the scene where the anchor is dropped through Judge Smails boat they show water spraying up from the hole. You can hear the sound of the pumps which are creating the fountains of water. [The pumps could be automatic bilge pumps which would start as soon as the water started to come into the boat.]

In the dinner scene, when Carl is trying to snipe out the gopher, Ty and the woman are talking. Carl fires a shot and misses, and a light near the clubhouse shatters, presumably from the shot. This would have been impossible as Carl wasn't even aiming near the clubhouse. [The word "presumably" invalidates this mistake anyway, but it is always possible that the bullet ricochets off something and then hits the light.]
Edit
When Carl and the Scottish greenskeeper are talking near the beginning, look behind them, there are no flowers. But in a later scene, Carl is playing golf by knocking the heads off the flowers, which weren't there at the beginning of the film. [Even though we don't see it happen, we can assume that Carl, or someone else, planted the flowers sometime between the scene with the greenskeeper and the time that Carl destroyed them.]
Edit Time
Surely the woman would have noticed the foul smell of Spaulding's vomit immediately after sitting in the car. Instead, she doesn't notice it until her husband sits in it. [The woman and her husband are obviously drunk from the party and it is understandable that they would not notice the vomit.]
Edit
The caddy who holds Dangerfield's golf bag changes from scene to scene. [Not true.]
Edit Corrected by brantlee
When the caddy picks up Dangerfield's humongous golf bag he has a hard time keeping it on his shoulder. But when he and the others are ogling Lacy Underall, he has no trouble whatsoever. [Not true.]

At the end of the movie they say it is dead even with the score yet the doctor 2 puts and judge one puts. Then Ty 2 puts and the kid one puts. That would mean a tie once again, but they make it look like the kid won it. [A one-putt by Danny *would* have tied the score, but Al offers a modification to the bet, accepted by the Judge, to double the amount and to place it all on the outcome of the putt, not the game. So although the winner of the game was unresolved, the bet was won by Al's side. It would arguably have been impossible to continue the game anyway after Carl blew the course up.]
