* SureLetsGoWithThat: Despite Glomgold nakedly trying to cheat at the coin toss by rigging it with a double-headed coin, ''failing'' to cheat at the coin toss by guessing the coin toss incorrectly, and then failing to throw the coin into the ocean, Scrooge decides to just concede that Glomgold "won" the coin toss because it's quicker than indulging his tantrum.

* CulturalPosturing: Of both the national and familial variety: Scrooge is very proud of the fact that their ancestor "Black" Donald McDuck both invented golf and got it banned by King James due to his frequent tantrums over losing; lampshaded by Louie asking if that's really something to be proud of.

** Likewise prior to this, when Scrooge locates his ball in the standing stone circle, Glomgold tells him to accept a stroke and distance penalty so they can get back on the fairway, but Scrooge insists on "playing it where it lands"; since the ball was located in good time and there's no indication that the ball passed out of bounds, Scrooge is technically within his rights to do so.

** Glomgold, too. For the coin toss he blatantly switches the official coin for a double headed one. He's then somehow dumb enough to call tails and tries to throw the coin in the ocean in a rage, only to fail twice. Scrooge ends up letting him win the toss just to move things along.
