Tee for Two

Tom wreaks havoc on a golf course, trying to play despite Jerry's interference. From hitting Jerry instead of the ball to being attacked by bees, Tom's attempts are met with comical failures. After a series of mishaps, including a humiliating encounter with a lawn mower, Tom is knocked out by Jerry's final swing. ==Voice cast==

Like every short of Tom and Jerry during its first two decades, Tee for Two is directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, with its score composed by Scott Bradley. The short is animated by Ray Patterson, Irven Spence, Pete Burness, and Kenneth Muse. Patterson animated the scene of Tom scoring his first hole with Jerry as the golf ball. For Spence, he animated the beginning scene of Tom desperately trying to hit his golf ball. For Burness, he animated the scenes of Jerry assisting Tom by both being the tee and holding up the tee. For Muse, he animated the scenes of Tom's first encounter with Jerry and Tom in the lake. Both Spence and Muse split the responsibilities of animating the chase of Tom by the bees. Spence has expressed his love for, and frustration towards, the sport of golf in his diary, which is assumed to inform his animation for the short. ==Reception==

Tee for Two is best remembered for its climactic scene involving Tom's strong reaction from a bee attack, which has been described as the "largest and most gruesome reaction in Tom and Jerry to date". Animator Mark Kausler has described Tom's reaction from the bee attack to be "the most terrifying drawing ([by the animator] Ken Muse) of Tom being stung... accompanied by the most anguished scream ever put on film." Animation historian and video editor Devon Baxter has also described Tom's scream to be "the largest and most gruesome reaction in the series to date". However, animation historian Michael Barrier saw otherwise, and stated that "the sheer scale of Tom's reaction–so big it's preposterous–cancels out his pain." ==Home media==
