I like Leslie Nielson. His parts in the series of movies "The Naked Gun" were very good, and his part in "Airplane" was also good, but not as. This on the other hand is a load of cobblers. Leslie tries to play a con man golfer, and gets himself into a bet with a professional golfer. He wins by applying every possible method of distraction to the other golfer, including Clowns and a Mongoose.
If you really want to watch this, try not to spend too much money getting it.

The video starts out rather slowly and there are a couple sketches that bomb (like the clown cart), but there are some winners in here. My personal favorite sections:
1) Leslie Nielsen goads Brad into trying to hit a ball out of the lake. "If YOU can make that shot, that will go down as one of the greatest shots in the history of golf!"
2) Leslie filming Brad's swing, and slowly morphing into a sunglasses-wearing director. Brad's thoroughly exhausted doing literally hundreds of takes.
3) Leslie confusing Brad with "left" and "right" when discussing which way the green slopes.
4) Leslie dressing up in drag to tee off from the lady's tee.
5) The dreaded "tick hole", where Leslie convinces Brad that if he doesn't put on repellent, he will get bitten by a deadly tick.
6) Why is a mongoose needing to be fed on a golf course? Oh well, it doesn't matter; it's a hilarious scene, because Leslie is once again able to convince Brad that the threat is real.
7) All of Leslie's made-up golf bets, like Prunies. "All right, I'm not going to argue with you. It's a double Prunie." Though my favorite is the bet where the two participants try to get as close to the green without actually getting on the green, and since Brad got on, he lost.
8) Brad demanding that they play by "all the rules" actually means rules from every other sport, including football (to which he's told to move five yards back for delaying game).
The video also contains some wraparounds that contain Leslie talking to the camera while classical music plays in the background (such as the theme to Masterpiece Theater), and some are rather amusing. "What is the sound of one hand clapping? Or one mind snapping? "
I know it's an incredibly niche release, but I'd LOVE to have this on DVD. Sadly, that'll never happen...
