The line is very clever. Dangerfield's character (Al Czervic) is a real estate developer, a new money salesman. He knows that if you make a wish aloud sometimes it has a way of coming true. Self-fulfilling prophecy might be a better term. So Judge Smales just lost the round of golf and the bet. Moose and Rocco are "helping the judge find his wallet." The pristine Bushwood golf course just blew up, and there is no love lost on Dangerfield's part because the club always treated him as an outsider. He's all pepped up and probably horny. He figures if he says it, it might come true. And it's got a better chance of working out for him if he shares the revelry with everyone else - that's classic salesmanship. If he said, "Hey everyone, I'm gonna' get laid," that would not have been nearly as funny as "we're all gonna get laid," and, in the context of the movie, he probably wouldn't end up getting laid.
