- You cannot drive a car onto a golf course; Augusta has no cars anywhere.
- In the real PGA, fans are said to be barred from talking to golfers.
- Happy is hit by a Volkswagen and can still drive the ball 280 yards.
- The tournament would likely have stopped after the tower fell on the green with an explosion.
- You can see the divot where the ball was guided into the hole.
- Anyone can sign up for the Waterbury Open the day before and win a tour card.
- A mock-ESPN bit with Patrick and Oberman and a cultural montage would have grounded the film in 1995; others are glad Leno was not in it.
- The biggest nit: the final-round blowup should cost 10 to 12 strokes, but the leaderboard moves only one.
