- Chubbs's missing hand was an inside joke between Sandler and Hurley about Predator.
- The first draft reportedly had Happy winning the Masters until consultant Mark Lye suggested a fictional tournament with gold jackets; his telling is mocked.

- A deleted scene of Happy throwing Ben Stiller through a window is noted.

- Nominees include Ben Stiller and Bob Barker.
- Vern's silent partner Jack, identified as Sandler's New York University roommate Giaraputo, never speaks.
- Bob Barker is called an all-time Dionne Waiters performance and gets a vote.
- Joe Flaherty, Lee Trevino, Nealon and Alan Cover (as transcribed) are added as nominees.
- Nealon is preferred by another participant.
- The case for Barker: five memorable minutes like 21 points; Nealon is the coach who draws up the winning play.
- A vote is cast for Bob, and another participant goes Nealon.
- Vern is floated as a candidate for grounding the movie as a credible golf announcer.
