How to Play Golf is a 1944 short animated Walt Disney Productions film directed by Jack Kinney.^[1] Eight minutes long, it was distributed by RKO, and was a part of a series where Goofy learned to play various sports.

Reception

Upon release, The Film Daily called it "highly hilarious", and gave the following review:

"This, another of Walt Disney's Technicolor cartoons featuring the Goof, is a howl. While the narrator explains how properly to play golf, the Goof attempts to demonstrate. Naturally he does everything wrong, with superb results from a comedy point of view. The technique and animation are noteworthy indeed. Mark this down as a topflight booking of its kind."^[2]
