Revealing: In at least one scene, you can see the ruts that the filmmakers made in the greens to make Happy's putts go where they wanted them to.

Plot hole: In the final tournament when Happy is stuck in the rough, he swings five times. Assuming he hit his drive into the rough and hit an AMAZING shot from the edge of the water into the hole, he still could do no better than a seven on the hole. Happy only lost one stroke on the hole.

Continuity: The exact same shots of the golf ball sailing through the air are used two or three times, especially during the last golf tournament.

Continuity: When Happy is about to putt and the tower starts to fall, his caddy is behind him. In the next wide-angle shot, his caddy is in front of him, or at least between Happy and the hole, where before Happy was between him and the hole. A couple of shots later, when Virginia runs up to Happy, the caddy is back to his old position again.

Continuity: Happy and his new caddy are discussing the shape of the green and the caddy says the green is slanted to the left.

When the camera cuts to the close-up of his feet, they're together, yet the caddy didn't move.
