Continuity mistake: On the 18th hole of the last round Junuh calls for a penalty because he moved the ball when he removed some twigs that were in the way. In close-up and wide shots the arangement of twigs around the ball changes. (01:43:20)

Continuity mistake: After the first round Adele and Junuh are sitting on a bench talking. Adele's hairdo keeps changing from shot to shot, with an especially unruly curl sticking out on the right side for a second. (01:05:20)

Continuity mistake: On the morning of the first day of the tournament people are standing in line for food. A woman is serving meatballs, but the men waiting already have meatballs on their plates. (00:51:00)

Continuity mistake: When Junuh drives down to Krewe Island he is cheered by the people on the road. A number of times the camera is relatively close on the driving Junuh, and the people he is just passing by are missing in the background. (00:42:40)

Continuity mistake: When Hardy comes to talk Junuh into participating in the tournament Junuh is playing poker. While he is talking to Hardy they are not playing, but throughout the scene cards keep appearing and disappearing on the table. (00:24:05)

Revealing mistake: During the war flashback there is a newspaper photograph with Captain Junuh on the shoulders of Savannah's young men. When the camera zooms into his face you can see it's someone else's, only in close-up it switches to Matt Damon's. This is surprising because in all other newspaper pictures Matt Damon is nicely worked in. (00:06:15)

Revealing mistake: When little Hardy Greaves hits a ball at some golfers the ball actually flies off from somewhere on the right, not from the spot where Hardy is standing. (00:04:20)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: At the very beginning of the movie the old Hardy Greaves is teeing off. When the camera is on him he casts a long shadow, but when the camera looks down the fairway the shadows of the trees look as if it is around noon. (00:01:30)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: After Junuh makes a hole-in-one the townspeople rush to the course. Before Hardy's father rushes off too he is shown leaning on his broom, with his hand holding the broom in three different ways up and down the handle with changing angles of the camera. (01:24:00)
