The Greatest Game Ever Played

Factual error: In an early scene, a character suggests that a man might be awarded an OBE honor if he wins the 1913 US Open. The OBE wasn't established until 1917.

Continuity mistake: In the scenes where it is just Francis vs Vardon, there is a series of shots by each of them. In one of them Francis is hitting lefty. Since that would require an additional set of clubs, it is not possible. (02:00:00)
