Story
Tom is playing golf. As a result of his first game: half of the forest is destroyed. Tom makes more and more crazy attempts to hit the ball, but after the 51st attempt, Tom hits the ball, and he hits the hole ... but immediately jumps out, because Jerry is in the hole. Jerry runs away from the field, but Tom hits the ball, it flies very far and flies right into Jerry, losing consciousness.
After some time, Tom uses Jerry as a ball stand - the sadist forced the mouse to hold the peg. Tom strikes, and as a result, a huge pit forms in Jerry's place. Tom looks into the distance, trying to find out where the ball fell - and Jerry managed to jump onto the stick during the hit and also looks into the distance. The cat notices Jerry and dips him in the ball wash. The mouse answers this with a spit of soapy water in Tom's eyes.
Tom prepares for the next hit. Jerry sets up the peg for the ball and the ball itself, and the cat makes a shot. Tom smiles, thinking that he has hit, but the ball flies into a large boulder, ricochets from him and falls into Tom's teeth.
The next blow falls near two closely growing young trees. Tom cannot hit the ball in this position and therefore pushes the trees apart. The cat hits the ball, but the trees converge again sharply. The ball meanwhile flies into the hollow, and activates the tree -one-armed bandit . Three lemons appear on the slots, and a jackpot is poured onto Tom in the form of a large number of balls. Jerry exchanged the ball for an egg, and Tom hits him. In flight, a small woodpecker hatches from an egg, which, with the sound of a fighter, comes back and pecks at Tom.
Tom tries to strike one more blow, but Jerry hollowed out the ball so much from the inside that it could not be hit. Therefore, an angry Tom grabs a little mouse, puts a mutilated hollow ball on his head and strikes. The mouse lands exactly near the hole, but does not fall into it. Tom makes sure no one is around and pushes Jerry into the hole. Finally, the cat counts the number of strokes, and writes the number 3 into the table, but Jerry leans out of the hole and shakes his head: they say, “ay-ay-ay, how embarrassing!” Tom reluctantly adds another three to the score, making the number 33.
Tom is preparing to hit the ball next. Jerry takes advantage of this and ties the tail of the cat to the club. When Tom hits the ball, he discovers that he himself was in the hole on the head. Jerry hits the cat on the head, forcing him to swallow the ball. Tom viciously runs after Jerry, but over and over steps on his own sticks, spread out on the ground, as if on a rake. The cat hits the ball, and Jerry flies into the air with the ball. The little mouse discovers that he is flying on a piece of turf, and uses it as a bomber , opening a “bomb gate” in a piece of turf and dropping the ball at Tom like a bomb. Tom digs a trench to protect himself from the "bombing", but discovers that the ball did not explode, but just a tiny tiny dark ball fell out of the ball. Tom took the ball, but the dynamite ball detonated (the force of this explosion is simply amazing).
A piece of turf with a mouse flying on it crashes into a tree, Jerry runs away into the hollow. Tom knocks a tree with a club, and Jerry pulls it into the hollow. Tom ferociously pulls the stick to himself, but Jerry takes it away from the cat. Tom climbs a tree and Jerry hits him in the ass. As a result, on the head of Tom, in the manner of a hat, a wax nest of wild bees is put on by itself. Tom feels the nest on his head and panics. He takes it off and sees that all the bees have stuck around his head, and in a panic he is hiding from the bees in the bushes, but Jerry destroys the cat's shelter by cutting the bush with a lawn mower. As a result, the shaved Tom hides from the bees in the river, with a hollow tube, for breathing. Jerry attracts the attention of bees by flipping the “150 yards” sign, on the back of which is “Guess who?” Is written (the sign points to the river). One bee looks into a tube, from there Tom spits water into it. Bees fly into the tube with acceleration (Jerry “carefully” inserts a funnel into the tube to make it more convenient for the bees), and bitten insects penetrate Tom’s mouth through the tube and sting his mouth. The cat is running away, he is already very far away ... but Jerry hits the ball, it unerringly hits Tom's head.
