I’m guessing that the kid did not want to sleep in the house (in a bed) because that would be accepting the role that his father (Izzard) wanted to play. Remember, he was pretty shocked and angry about the whole situation of “replacing” the couple that died, as, well, he was angry at the fact that stupid actions caused their death. It seems like just about everyone in the family initially does not want to take advantage of this “opportunity” except the father. We see an internal struggle with the wife (Driver) with several areas of her life: old family vs. new, jail life vs. ex-convict life, accepting a new identity (conning) vs. doing things differently this time around.
When you’re just buying off the rack, no, golf clubs are not sold with different length shafts (with the limited exception of putters). The problem that most golfers who don’t get custom fitted face is that clubs are too long for them.
Granted, “real” Doug Rich sounds like the kind of guy who would get himself custom fit for his clubs. But that wouldn’t matter to the shorter Izzard, who, like most amateur golfers, would inevitably be playing with clubs too long for him anyway.
I wasn’t bothered by that either, but I found the fact that the Riches drove a very stripped down BMW 3-Series (the cheapest model BMW makes) a little hard to accept. The fact that Wayne was also able to pull the door off the car to get to the driver was interesting too. Those cars are welded together like few other cars are and do not come apart by hand even after a crash, and that wasn’t a terribly bad crash either, but whatever. I think the Riches got killed because their cheapo BMW could be pulled apart by the hands of a diminutive British man! No offense, Eddie.
