- Lack of a lesson is a weak-link objection; never laying up, immortality and possible endorsements offer counters.
- The stripper/deed subplot could be cut; the older former partner seems implausible, with ex-wife corrected to ex-girlfriend.
- Roy alternates inconsistently between eloquent philosopher and someone confused by ordinary vocabulary.
- A professional could get the shanks, but Roy's repeated extreme shanks without a fix are excessive.
- The film should end on Nice par, David; closing the stripper plot adds five unnecessary minutes, and a possible sequel could already be set up through next year's Open.
- A contractual or bet-driven tango scene is joking speculation.
