00:23Hello out there, Peabody here.
00:25Tell me, Sherman, in what sport is the term putt utilized?
00:28Motor boat racing.
00:30Motor boat racing?
00:31Sure, you know, putt, putt, putt, putt, putt, putt, putt, putt, putt.
00:34In 1870, the world's first golf match was played, and today Sherman, his outboard motor,
00:40and I will not only witness this historic event, but will participate in it.
00:44Set the way back for St. Andrews, Scotland, Sherman.
00:46Putt, putt, putt, putt, putt, putt, putt, putt, putt, putt, putt, putt, putt, putt.
00:48I set the way back controls myself, and in a matter of seconds, we were standing on Scotland's
00:53only golf course.
00:54Two gentlemen were in the midst of teeing off.
00:59That's your 30th stroke, Angus, and you've yet to tee off.
01:03Oh, I'm teed off all right.
01:05How can that man expect to play golf, Mr. Peabody?
01:07His hands are all bandaged.
01:09Pardon me, sir, but have you had an accident?
01:11That was no accident.
01:13McSnyde here sent me flowers.
01:15Then you go blaming me for catching poison ivy.
01:17It's a grudge match we're playing.
01:19If McSnyde wins, then Scotland has to play the game of golf,
01:22according to McSnyde's rules.
01:25That's 51 strokes.
01:27We can't let him get away with that, Mr. Peabody.
01:29Sherman was right.
01:30I substituted for the ailing Angus
01:32and prepared to tee off with a deficit of 51 strokes.
01:36You'd best be wary, Mr. Peabody.
01:38McSnyde is a tricky rascal.
01:40A gross understatement,
01:41for while I was taking a practice swing,
01:43McSnyde replaced my round ball with a square one.
01:47I drove exactly 250...
01:50Yards?
01:50Inches.
01:51Fortunately, McSnyde's clubs were as crooked as he,
01:53and he drove his first into the rough.
01:55Good luck to you, and watch McSnyde.
01:58This wasn't easy to do,
01:59for I had my hands full trying to approach the green.
02:02Hacking my way up the fairway,
02:03I looked more like a frustrated dice player than a golfer.
02:06While I was so engaged,
02:08McSnyde used the rough to good advantage.
02:10I'm taking no chances, McPherson.
02:12Go to the ninth hole and build a trap,
02:14so that just in case my opponent gets lucky,
02:16he'll fall in and forfeit the match.
02:19Hey, McSnyde,
02:20I'll build the deepest trap you ever saw.
02:23I finished the first hole with a bogey 84.
02:26McSnyde was three under par.
02:28Give up?
02:29A Peabody never gives up.
02:30Sherman, I'll use a round ball from now on.
02:33The second hole was 400 yards away,
02:35and due to a sudden shifting of the wind,
02:38my drive fell short of the cup,
02:40three feet short.
02:41Good morning, that's the longest drive I've ever seen.
02:45You think that was long?
02:46Wait till the next hole.
02:47By the time we reached the ninth green,
02:49I was practically even with McSnyde.
02:51The ninth, you'll recall,
02:52was the green McPherson had booby-trapped.
02:54You put first, Peabody,
02:55and lots of luck.
02:58He'll step on that green and fall halfway to China.
03:02I stepped on the green all right
03:03and promptly putted my ball into the cup.
03:05What a shot, Mr. Peabody.
03:06One more like that and you'll be in front.
03:08We left the green and approached the tenth tee.
03:10McSnyde stayed behind.
03:12I cannot understand it.
03:13I told McPherson to dig a trap under this green,
03:16and if there's anything I can't stand,
03:18it's a man who disobeys orders.
03:20Wait till I see that McPherson.
03:23I'll give him a piece of my mind.
03:25It wasn't until the 18th hole
03:26that McSnyde caught up with us.
03:28Where have you been, Mr. McSnyde?
03:29I had to replace a divot.
03:31What's the score?
03:32Mr. Peabody is 20 under par.
03:34Oh?
03:34How are you doing?
03:35I've had troubles, lad.
03:37I'm only 30 under par.
03:38He's still in front of you, Mr. Peabody,
03:40with only this hole left to play.
03:41What are you going to do?
03:43Beat him, of course.
03:44Hand me my number one wood.
03:46It was then that Sherman discovered we were short on clubs.
03:49Somebody swiped everything but the putter.
03:52Looks like you'll have to forfeit.
03:54Not as long as I have a putter.
03:56You can't putt here, Mr. Peabody.
03:57There's a lake that sits in front of the green.
03:59This will require timing.
04:01I studied the grass carefully.
04:03Shoot, man, shoot, or else you lose.
04:05I shot.
04:07The ball rolled gently down the fairway,
04:09hit the rock, bounded into the air,
04:11landed on a duck's back.
04:13The duck took off across the lake,
04:14became airborne,
04:15and while directly over the green,
04:16lost the ball.
04:17And, of course, as I had figured,
04:19the ball fell exactly into the very center of the cup.
04:21You did it, Mr. Peabody.
04:23You win, doesn't he, Mr. McSnyde?
04:25McSnyde was in no condition to answer.
04:28The only thing I don't understand
04:30is why Mr. McSnyde wanted to change the rules of golf.
04:32Well, you see, McSnyde objected to the use of a golf ball.
04:35What did he expect to play with?
04:37Potatoes.
04:38He owned a potato farm
04:39and hoped to make a fortune selling them to golfers.
04:41But who ever heard of hitting a potato with a golf club?
04:44Oh, come now, Sherman.
04:46Surely you've heard of...
04:49mashy potatoes?
04:51That's the gravy.
