Synopsis
On a beautiful day, where Homer is mowing, he can't stand his neighbor, Ned Flanders. Ned invites Homer into his beautiful rumpus room to have some beer and club sandwiches. Homer protests against Flanders and accuses him and the Flanders family of having things the Simpsons do not have. Flanders asks Homer to leave. Homer worries in his sleep about Flanders. Discussing things with Marge, she suggests to him that Ned is a perfect neighbor, but Homer goes for a walk. Meanwhile, Maude Flanders suggests to Ned that he shouldn't be talking to her, and he writes a note to Homer with funny things in it, after hearing from Reverend Lovejoy that the Bible says that a gentle answer turns away wrath. Homer takes Bart for a round of miniature golf at Sir Putt-A-Lot's Merrie Olde Fun Center, unexpectedly joined by Ned and Rod and Todd.
The game goes well, and Bart and Todd know of a miniature golf tournament, with the first prize being $50. Bart and Todd decide to enter the tournament. Although Todd is very good at miniature golf, Homer is confident that Bart will win the tournament. Homer unsuccessfully helps Bart practice for the tournament, complete with putting a picture of Todd Flanders in Bart's room and making him stare at it angrily for 15 minutes every day. Lisa offers to help Bart practice, through her reading spiritual books that calm Bart's mind and she goes to the fun center to help him practice. Homer wants Flanders to know that he will make a bet with him—the father of the boy who does not win the tournament will mow the lawn of the house of the boy who wins, in his wife's Sunday dress. Marge signs the bet.
It is the day of the tournament, and Bart and Todd are doing well, proceeding to the final round of the tournament. In an extremely close match, as it progresses, Bart and Todd each do well, and tie by the time they each do the eighth hole. Bart and Todd are both worried it is difficult for them, and they worry that they could tie, so Bart and Todd both decide they are equally good, and call it a draw. Because of this, Homer and Ned must wear each wife's best Sunday dress and mow each other's lawn and Ned actually enjoys it to Homer's disgust.
Trivia
