Goofs

The letters on Angie's "Night Rider" shirt are reversed when he is seen sneaking between trees during the big money game.

When Maggie and Danny are in bed, Tony jumps up to look in the window. Each time he jumps he gets no higher than the bottom part of the window. When they show him standing outside, he is actually taller than the bottom part of the window.

When Ty is demonstrating night-putting to Danny and hitting each ball in the hole, in one shot the ball visibly goes past the hole, but in the close up the ball goes in the hole.

The first time Lacey Underall appears, she is walking towards a bunch of caddies and holding a tennis racket. Moments later, she gets to the group of people and holding a golf glove.

The golf clubs that Ty spills vanish by the time that Danny takes his shot.

According to golf rule 16-2, When any part of the ball overhangs the lip of the hole, the player is allowed enough time to reach the hole without unreasonable delay and an additional ten seconds to determine whether the ball is at rest. If by then the ball has not fallen into the hole, it is deemed to be at rest. If the ball subsequently falls into the hole, the player is deemed to have holed out with his last stroke, and must add a penalty stroke to his score for the hole. Danny never reaches the hole due to the explosion and therefore rule 16-2 is not invoked. The match stands as is. Danny and Ty win.

The end credits do not feature a listing for Earth Wind & Fire's "Boogie Wonderland."

When Czervik throws money at the band, they start playing. The song you hear has instruments that are not present in the band. You can tell they are playing the recording.

When Dr. Beeper grabs his pager while he is wet, he nearly gets electrocuted. That small device would never actually produce enough power to do that.

At the beginning of the boating scene when Al takes over for his captain, he uses both hands to accelerate the two throttles of both engines of the twin-screw boat. At the end or the scene when he shuts down the engines, he only operates the lever for the port engine leaving the starboard one at full throttle. His boat would not have stopped.

All of the characters named "Smails" (the Judge, his wife, Spaulding) are listed as "Smalls" in the closing credits. But it is stated many times in the film that their last name is "Smails." This is likely a typo in the end credits, however, it is entirely possible that their surnames are spelled "Smalls," however, they pronounce it "Smails."

When Ty doubles the amount of the bet in the bar scene, he doubles it to $40,000 and tells Judge Smalls that his dad never liked him. Later on, Al and Ty double the amount of the bet again, to $40,000 apiece (from the previous $40,000 per team).

When the Bishop is playing his miraculous round of golf, lightning is prominent in the sky. No club would allow players on the course during a lightning storm.

Clearly the bishop is having an unauthorized round of golf during the storm, hence his use of Carl as a caddy instead of an actual caddy.

When Al "breaks" his arm in the final game, he says the game is a draw. Judge Smails responds by saying, "No you don't, Czernik!" but Al's last name is Czervik with a V. Judge Smails either doesn't not know Al's correct last name, or simply doesn't care because he does not respect him.

Spaulding first acknowledges Danny and his "Sailor" attire when Danny arrives at the Yacht Club and Spaulding is smoking marijuana with his friends. A few scenes later Spauling walks up behind Danny and says, "Ahoy Polloi, what are you from? A scotch ad?" acting as if that was the first time he saw him in his "sailor" attire even though he had just seen him moments earlier when he arrived.

He is not acting as if it's the first time he's seen him, he is simply continuing to mock him for his choice of wardrobe.

The wake from the large boat is moving in reverse.

During the scene of the party at the club, Carl hunts the gopher with his gun outside. He is moving from tree to tree, and you can see in the background that it is the daytime when it's supposed to be night.

The lamp on the desk that the Judge pushes to the right doesn't have a cord.

When Lacey dives off the board during the pool scene, it's clearly a stunt double with bright blond hair. Lacey's hair is much darker and not as full as the double's.

When Carl is trying to grab the gopher in his hole, you can see the wall of the "tunnel" move.

Danny and Ty talk about Bushwood being in Nebraska. Judge Smail's Rolls Royce has Illinois tags on it.

When Wang is photographing the parking lot, the camera makes sounds as if it has a motor drive, but the camera clearly does not have one.

When Judge Smalls get hits in the groin, Danny tells him to "Walk it off, sir" but his lips don't move

When Spalding is sneaking drinks during the dinner scene, you can see the guitar player in the background (on stage) is not in sync with the soft music the orchestra is playing.

The crew and boom are reflected in the car door when the red convertible pulls up on the tee box.

The film supposedly takes place in Nebraska, but palm trees are visible as Danny is cycling to work during the opening credits.

While Danny making that last putt effectively tied the game, meaning neither team lost or won, - Al's last-second bet of "Double or nothing he makes it" essentially negates the original bet and creates a new one. Judge Smails agrees to this new wager, (which is not a smart move since he already has tied the game, and may even win if Danny misses) so when Danny makes the putt, Al wins NOTHING, per Al's "double or NOTHING" new bet. Al then forces Smails to pay up even though he really didn't owe any money.

In the scene at the beginning of the "illegal" match, when Ty and Al pull up in Al's car, you can see the boom mic visible as a reflection in the car door after Ty shuts the door (and slams his fingers in it).

When Al Czervik tees off after they've upped the bet, he's teeing off with a putter.

When Judge Smails informs Spaulding that he's playing golf, rather than tennis, Spaulding argues, "What about my asthma?"

Tennis is far more likely than golf to be affected by asthma.

When Rodney Dangerfield's character takes over from the captain piloting his yacht,he may not have been legally allowed to do so. With small boat operation, the rules for operation of a ship are greatly simplified versus that of a larger motor vessel.

For him to take over and run roughshod over the rules of right-of-way, not approaching shorelines and docks at speed causing wake damage and collisions, he would certainly have been fined and possibly been arrested for his reckless disregard of maritime rules.

When Lou describes the match as "all even" at the final hole, he actually should say "all square." That is the proper term for match play in golf.

In the first scene, when Mrs Noonan is waking everybody up, Michael O'Keefe tells his sister that Larry would return her training bra, he calls her by her real name 'Deb,' her character's name is Kathleen.
