Meant to be a satire on golf etiquette, this short has veteran golfer Putton (modeled on General Patton) teaching a pair of bumbling nerds on the links the finer points of polite golf. Buried in the sketches are tips on starting, keeping score, fixing divots, etc. But the humor is so numbingly puerile that you'd have to be a 6th-grader to really enjoy it: jokes about "watching the other guy's balls," or about puking, or about weight, come with depressingly relentless regularity. It's not that golfers are particularly well-bred in their choice of humor (or well-bred period, for that matter) or that I'm above bathroom humor (I'm not). I smiled once or twice, but not enough to recommend this. (R. Pitman)
