Golf Brawl

A take-off on tournament golf, with Popeye and Brutus competing against each other. Also in the foursome are Wimpy (who can never hit the ball) and Olive (who knows nothing about golf). There's a series of golf gags resulting from a new meaning in the expression "Play the ball where it lies," to the misfortune of both Popeye and Brutus trying to outwit each other. In Brutus' case, this means atop Popeye's head! Olive wins the game on a freak setup.

Popeye, Brutus, Olive Oyl, Wimpy

There is no spinach eating sequence in this episode.

King Features had no cartoon studios, so Popeye storyboards were produced in its offices, while animation was divided between Paramount/Famous Studios, Larry Harmon Productions, Total TV Productions, Gene Deitch/Rembrandt Studios, Halas and Batchelor and Jack Kinney Productions.

Of those stations which bought the King Features Popeye cartoons in 1960, 90% renewed their contracts in 1965.

Note the change in the villain's name… from Bluto to Brutus.
