Happy Gilmore

Other mistake: When Happy hits the ball in the alligators mouth, he is on the complete other side of the lake where the gator is located, and there is a crowd of people blocking his view, but somehow he can still see through the people and over the lake, to notice the gator taking his ball.

Sir William

Other mistake: When Happy is trying to "fix" the air conditioner in his grandma's room you can clearly see there is a white board in back of the machine. When the machine falls out and hits the lady on the ground you can see it's no longer there.

Other mistake: When Bob Barker reaches up to grab Happy by the neck, his head is resting on the grass immediately before and after that shot. Happy was standing fully upright, so there's no way Bob Barker's arm could have been that long.
