[edit] Plot
The cartoon opens on a golf course. Patches of grass are missing, posts are broken, golf clubs are bent out of shape and we hear the sound of a golf club striking a ball over and over. As the camera pans we see Tom trying to hit a ball out of a giant hole that he had created. He excavates deeper into the hole and finally hits the ball out. He runs to the green and takes out the flag so the ball can go into the hole. But when it does, it quickly bounces out. Tom is a little surprised by this so he decides to lift the green and roll the ball into the hole. But the ball jumps out of the hole again. Tom then puts the ball into the hole and it comes out again. He then shoves the ball into the hole and it comes out lodging into his eye. It is then revealed that Jerry lives in the hole on the golf course and he was the one throwing the ball out. He looks at Tom with a golf ball stuck in his eye and he draws an eyeball on it. Tom then tries to hit Jerry with his club but it ends up wrapping around his neck. Jerry then runs away. Tom then hits his golf ball which hits Jerry on the head, knocking him silly.
The next scene shows that Jerry is being used as a tee and Tom places a ball on his head. Tom then readies his shot which makes Jerry nervous and Tom swings, and a patch of ground where the ball and Jerry was flies off as his club comes into impact. Tom then looks far off into the distance to see where his ball is, but Jerry whistles to him that he had the ball the whole time. Tom then puts Jerry through the ball cleaner. Jerry then responds by spitting soapy water in Tom's face.
As Tom gets set up for his next shot, Jerry is holding the tee with the ball on it. Tom hits the ball and so proud of his shot that smiles a big smile with his teeth showing. The ball then hits a rock and bounces of it coming back through Tom's smile which shatters all his teeth.
Next up Tom's ball is in front of two skinny, long trees. Tom can't stand behind his ball to hit it so he is forced to split the trees to hit his ball which he does. The ball lands through a tree and which he reaches the base of the tree a small slot machine starts to spin. Tom gets three lemons and a whole bunch of golf balls come out of the tree. Then Jerry shows up and replaces his golf ball with an egg. After Tom hits the egg, a woodpecker hatches out of the egg and comes back to attack Tom. Tom tries to hit another ball but Jerry is hollowed it out so he can't hit it. Tom then places the shell on to Jerry head and hits it. Jerry with the ball still on his head dances around the hole and Tom shoves him in. Tom then takes out his scorecard and tries to figure out his score for the hole. He then writes down a 3 in his card but Jerry scolds him and he writes 33.
Tom sets up the ball for the next hole and Jerry ties a string around the head of the club to Tom's tail. When Tom hit's the ball he flies toward the hole and into leaving only his head exposed. Jerry sets up his putt and hits the ball toward Tom's mouth. Jerry then hits Tom on his head and the ball rolls into Tom's mouth causing him to swallow the ball. Jerry runs away and Tom tries to follow but keeps stepping on his own clubs. Then Tom hits a ball toward Jerry with some backspin on it which brings Jerry back to Tom. Tom then hits Jerry and the ball which causes a small carpet of grass to fly around. Jerry uses this like a plane and drops the golf ball on Tom like a bomb. Tom digs a trench to protect himself and the ball opens to reveal a smaller black ball. Tom picks up the black ball which explodes. Meanwhile, Jerry's little carpet plane falls into a tree which Tom tries to poke at. But Jerry grabs the club and hits Tom with it. Tom then climbs into the tree and Jerry drops a beehive into the open tree. Tom wears the beehive like at a hat and this scares him, forcing him to hide in a bush. Jerry then runs the bush over with a lawn mower revealing Tom shaved like a French Poodle. The bees then chase Tom over a lake where a blade of bamboo is seen. Under the water is Tom who is using the blade of bamboo like a snorkel so he can hide underwater. Jerry then whistles to get the bees attention and they return. The head bee looks through the bamboo blade to see Tom so he spits water at the bees. Jerry then places a funnel on top of the bees and they dive bomb the blade into Tom's mouth. Tom then lets out an enormous scream and he runs away. Jerry then takes a club and hits a long drive which hits Tom square on the head from a far distance.
