  • The Happy swing is athletic and hard to pull off; Sandler golfs but is not thought to be very good.
  • The Nealon scene is called the best use of Kevin Nealon in a movie, and he should appear in every movie.
  • Aged-best items include the ninth-green sprinkler trick and Tuesday's Gone.
  • The "go to your home" outburst is something everyone says when playing golf.
  • "Just tap it in" applies to a lot of life.
  • Alan Covert's homeless caddy is called the best; he is in every Sandler movie.
  • Julie Bowen is named; everyone had a crush on her, and her "Happy, look out" yell sticks.
  • Shooter McGavin is called perhaps the number one sports movie villain, with details like his phony Portland interview and turned back before introductions.
  • A real-life Shooter is compared to Brooks Kepka and Nick Faldo.
  • Ben Stiller's orderly, the air conditioner falling, the piano in the reborn happy place and the alligator fight are added.
  • Whether the role helped McDonald's career is questioned, since he worried about typecasting as a villain.
  • The Subway tie-in is called probably the best-aged thing and a legitimately good commercial.
