The episode starts with a rare event, out trio playing football. Writer Roy Clarke featured little of it throughout the years but when Foggy feels the force of Comp's welly he remarks that he used to be a golfer and would had taken it up professionally if it was not for the war. Sid issues him a challenge to a round of golf if he could sneak away from the cafe that is.
We see Foggy rummaging round the attic for his old golf clubs. They are old alright and crooked. Also Foggy mentions something about having a landlady, in which case what were they doing in the attic for all these years? He has only recently returned after being away for numerous years, surely these golf clubs were not following around during his army days!
So Foggy dressed up in old golfing gear and bent clubs attempts to play golf and it is evident that he cannot play. In fact as Sid observes it would be a miracle if he ever hit the ball. Compo sees a chance to make money by retrieving lost golf balls for money.
A very simple episode with lots of laughs with Foggy's inept stroke play and Compo's enterprising way of getting hold of golf balls.
