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...

The "Cinderella story" sequence was all improvised by Bill Murray.
When Carl is caddying for the Bishop during the thunder storm, music from "The Ten Commandments" can be heard. The part of the Bishop is played by Henry Wilcoxon who appeared as Pentaur in "The Ten Commandments."
The scene where Ty is practicing late at night before the big game and "plays thru" at Carl's place was actually filmed after the movie had already wrapped and was largely improvised. The film makers thought a scene with Chevy Chase, who had left Saturday Night Live after the first season, with Bill Murray, who had replaced Chase in the second season, would be a nice comical touch, so they added one (literally) at the last minute.
The sounds they used for the gopher where actually from a dolphin.
Don Rickles was originally considered for the role of Al Czervik before it went to Rodney Dangerfield.
