One day, Tom is enjoying a golf session until he discovers that Jerry is living in the hole that his golf ball fell in. After catching him, Tom then uses him as a tee, but hilarity soon ensues when the cat and mouse get into a series of golf-themed antics.
Tropes:
- Bee Afraid: The bees that end up on Tom's head aren't at all pleased to see him and chase him throughout the rest of the short.
- Bizarre and Improbable Golf Game: Tom ends up wrecking nearly an entire golf course as he attempts to hit his ball out of a massive divot and later gets into a series of antics with Jerry for the remainder of the game.
- Eye Scream: While Tom tries to get the golf ball into the hole after it keeps coming back out, the ball is tossed straight into his right eye by none other than Jerry. Once he notices Tom, Jerry then draws a pupil on the ball with a pencil.
- Hammered into the Ground: After he is caught by Tom at the beginning, Jerry is driven into the ground to serve as a tee for the latter's golf ball.
- Impact Silhouette: Non-character variation. The golf ball that flies into Tom's teeth and shatters them leaves a circular hole in them.
- Laser-Guided Karma: At the beginning of the short, Tom shoots a ball to land on a running Jerry's head to knock him out. At the end of the short, Jerry does the same to Tom when he tries to run away.
- Losing Your Head: Tom struggles to hit a golf ball between a pair of trees that are close together, and when he does, the trees spring up and decapitate him. His headless torso then walks into view and reattaches itself to his head.
- Loud Gulp: You'd gulp too if you were a mouse and a cat decided to use you as a tee.
- Overly Long Gag: During the opening shot of the cartoon, Tom can be heard swinging his golf club as he tries to whack his golf ball out of the massive divot he's dug, and when we finally see him, he keeps swinging a few more times until he finally propels the ball out.
- Pun-Based Title: Of "tea for two".
- Rake Take: After swallowing a golf ball, Tom frees himself from the golf hole and chases Jerry, only to step on a golf club and get hit in the face, before stepping backwards, stepping on another golf club and getting hit in the back. He does it a few more times before grabbing the second club and hitting the golf ball towards Jerry.
- Reed Snorkel: Tom manages to escape a swarm of bees by taking refuge in a lake and using a reed to breathe, even taunting the bees by spitting some water in one bee's face with the reed.
- Scary Stinging Swarm: Tom is pursued by a swarm of bees for the remainder of the cartoon after Jerry puts a beehive on his head.
- Scenery Gorn: The cartoon starts with the camera panning through a golf course, which is riddled with countless divots, bent and twisted golf clubs and broken trees.
- Smashed Eggs Hatching: Jerry replaces Tom's golf ball with a woodpecker egg and sits back as the latter hits it with his golf club. The egg is still unbroken as it flies through the air, but it then hatches into a woodpecker chick who then goes to peck Tom on the head and peck his golf club down.
- Spit Take: A variation where it's done on purpose and not out of shock. After being put through the ball cleaner by Tom, Jerry spits some water in the latter's face.
- Stock Beehive: The beehive that Jerry puts on Tom's head looks more like a wasp nest.
- Synchronized Swarming: When Tom removes the beehive from his head, the bees living in the hive form a literal Beehive Hairdo before forming the hat and beard of Abraham Lincoln.
- Talking with Signs: The "150 Yds." sign that Jerry signals the bees to Tom has "Guess who?" written on the other side.
- Tap on the Head:
- Tom stops Jerry from escaping him at the beginning by whacking the ball onto the mouse's head with his golf club, knocking him out.
- After causing Tom to get stuck in a golf hole, Jerry then moves the ball towards Tom with a golf club and clobbers him on the head with said club, causing Tom to let out a scream of pain that allows the ball to roll into his mouth and get swallowed.
- At the end of the cartoon, as Tom is running away from a swarm of bees, Jerry hits a golf ball that flies towards Tom and knocks him out on impact; an Ironic Echo to how Tom caught him at the beginning.
- Toon Physics: While trying to get his golf ball in the hole at the beginning, Tom pulls up the grass like a cloth to move the ball.
- The Tooth Hurts: After being spat in the face by Jerry, Tom forces him to hold a tee while he whacks a golf ball out of it. Said ball flies through the air before ricocheting off of a rock and flying back towards Tom and into his teeth, shattering them.
- Volumetric Mouth: After Jerry directs the bees into the reed and into Tom's mouth, a moment of silence occurs before Tom leaps up and pushes the water upwards, his screaming mouth exaggerated in size as the bees swarm inside of it.
