"Tee for Two" is an American cartoon from 1945, so this one is already over 70 years old, from the last year of WWII, and this one is another Hanna Barbera production by MGM and here we have of course another Tom and Jerry short film. No dogs or owners in here this time as Tom is humanized again playing golf despite being a cat, but when Jerry resides in the hole Tom wants to get the ball in, chaos ensues. And said chaos includes a little freshly-hatched bird who is far from a rookie though and a swarm of bees who all go up against Tom. There is no intention to eat in here as you would expect from a cat&mouse cartoon, another reference to humanization. Jerry is not too important in here as he really only fight through proxies most of the time against Tom. The golf ball eye-painting scene was fairly funny though I guess. Eventually Tom gets it almost too much here as he did not know he was hitting an egg and the bee attack scene is also almost a bit too violent. Poor cat, who at one point, the shot at the very beginning, is a completely unskilled player, but then shows master calass skills on other occasions. And Jerry's final shot shows he isn't too untalented either. All in all one of the earlier, but not earliest and one of the better, but not best Tom and Jerry cartoons. I give it a thumbs-up and recommend checking it out. A fun watch with nice attention to detail.

As this short opens we see what appears to be a golf course; it is hard to be sure though as somebody has taken out so many divots it looks more like an artillery range! That somebody is of course Tom. When he finally does get the ball to the hole it keeps bouncing out; at first he can't see why, it soon becomes apparent that it is because Jerry is at the bottom of it and he doesn't enjoy being disturbed. When Tom realises what is going on he grabs Jerry with the intention of using him as a tee! What follows is the usual stream of violent gags viewers expect from the duo. Jerry gets hit by the ball a couple of times and hammered into the ground but as always Tom who suffers the most; he gets his teeth knocked out, attacked by an irate woodpecker, stung by a swarm of bees and even blown up by an exploding golf ball.This was a fairly standard Tom and Jerry short; plenty of violence and some good gags; I particularly liked the fully grown woodpecker hatching from an egg and attacking Tom and the introduction where we see just how bad Tom is at golf... although that doesn't explain how he can hit Jerry with a ball as he runs off! The animation is of a high standard and the jokes come thick and fast so if you don't like one it doesn't matter as there will be another one along in a matter of seconds. This might not be as good as some of their other sporting outings but it is still well worth watching and to my mind beats 'My Bunny Lies Over the Sea'; Bugs Bunny's golfing short.

I agree it is very simple and has a somewhat predictable story, but Tee for Two is still a very entertaining Tom and Jerry cartoon. I wouldn't dare call this the best Tom and Jerry cartoon, but I enjoyed it very much for what it was. I am not the world's biggest golf fan, but the cartoon made it seem so entertaining and fun.Why? Well the animation is lovely, especially in the backgrounds and colours. The music is nice and energetic. And the sight gags are clever and funny, it is not everyday where you see Tom physically abused by a woodpecker and bees. The cartoon also moves quickly, and both Tom and Jerry are a delight to watch.Overall, a delightful Tom and Jerry cartoon, without it being either the best or worst. 9/10 Bethany Cox

Tom is playing a not-very-relaxing round of golf (he's hacking up the fairway with his less than perfect swing) when Jerry decides to ruin the game even further—by pushing the ball back out of the hole when Tom finally manages to sink it. Tom gets his own back by using the mischievous mouse as his tee and mayhem ensues.This cartoon contains the usual plethora of violent visual gags, with both cat and mouse receiving their fair share of pain. The majority of the jokes are pretty run-of-the-mill for a T&J caper, although the animators do attempt a couple of more surreal moments (such as the fruit machine tree), and throw in one wonderful moment where Tom gets a mouthful of bees!
