Entry 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.]
Entry 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.]
Entry 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.]
Entry The caddy who holds Dangerfield's golf bag changes from scene to scene. [Not true.]
Entry 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.]
Entry 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.]
