8/10
No women are belittled or man-handled here . . .

Warning: Spoilers
. . . mostly because (unlike in other segments of the series, when they're holding golf clubs) they only make brief cameo appearances as spectators toward the end of BOBBY'S LESSON NO. 10: TRICK SHOTS. It's said that Tiger Woods (in his prime, of course) could have beaten the average weekend duffer, even if the former had to play with a shovel. Since no one has ever seen this on video, I doubt that that's true. (The duffer actually might have fared better than Phil Mickelsen vs. Tiger in the Masters, by virtue of being less prone to getting "psyched out.") Bobby Jones, on the other hand, almost looks "shovel ready" here. Playing a version of Best Ball\Worst Ball with actor Joe E. Brown, Mr. Jones appears to be totally unflappable. Whether his ball is in the trap, the ditch, the deep rough, or the creek, he always finds the appropriate paddle and never gets the "pitching yips." Even when he seems to be "stymied" on the decisive hole, Tiddly-Winking his ball over Joe's directly into the cup proves to be a piece of cake for him. Joe cannot hit his tee and approach shots badly enough to keep Jones from making the green. (Only TIN CUP's Kevin Costner could have done that!)
