* ElectricTorture: Utilized on Frankenputt, where contestants down bracelets on their arms and legs. They have nothing to worry about if they ace the hole in one stroke, but if not, they receive a nasty zap of electricity for every additional stroke that they miss the hole. Joe and Rob even joked that thus hole was a potential lawsuit.

Added DiffLines:

* TookALevelInBadass: In season 1, Dutch Courage had two fourbladed windmills and an ordinary miniature windmill to get past. Come season 2, the hole received an upgrade to ''Double'' Dutch Courage, with the big windmills now featuring five bladed and a drawbridge that lowers after putting a ball onto the green and forces players to leap their way through the second windmill. The mini windmill is gone, since the hole was made already hard enough.

* CloudCuckoolander: Rob often says some pretty weird stuff, with Joe acting as his StraightMan. Like when one golfer had "Avocado" as a nickname; Rob continually pronounced it as "a-VOC-a-doo" and speculated as to its meaning even as Joe tried to correct him.

* TheVoiceless: Course Marshall Joe, being the resident referee, appears on the course when he needs to but nothing he says is ever heard on-screen. Well, almost. He can be heard speaking in episode 8 of season one after Chris admitted he tapped the ball by accident and the official ruling was that the ball moved, so it counted as a stroke.

* AbortedArc: ''The Sequel'' was going to have a subplot where Stephen was busy building a special hole for the GrandFinale, with segments checking in on him at the construction site. While the idea is still mentioned, the segments had to be axed and replaced when COVID-19 lockdowns kept them from being filmed.



* ArtShift: The large majority of Stephen's appearances in ''The Sequel'' are animated instead of in-person, since he couldn't get on-set before COVID-19 lockdowns went into effect.



* ButtMonkey: Joey, the designated loser on the Diving Range hole in ''The Sequel''. The hole makes golfers (Joey and two others) do a high dive, with the worst being ejected before they even get to putt. The gag is that Joey dives far better than the other golfers, but the diving judges and Rob rant about how bad he is and Joe is the OnlySaneMan who thinks he's any good.

* ThatsGottaHurt: One golfer took a bad spill on Slip N' Putt and smacked his face on the slope, which led to a nosebleed. On the same hole, another golfer slid down on her bare knees and once she crossed onto the green, the grass tore up her left kneecap and it bled heavily.

Added DiffLines:

* ToiletHumor: Hole Number Two in ''The Sequel''. Yes, it's ''that'' kind of "Number Two" - golfers have to dash past a row of port-a-potties before their occupants open the doors and smack them into the water.
