I Married Joan: Country Club is pretty hilarious

Joan and Bradley have another couple at their house in which the wife talks about her golf swing. Joan feels left out because she doesn't play golf and her husband declines to join a country club because he doesn't want to leave wife alone. So Joan takes golf lessons. With Sheldon Leonard as her instructor, the lessons are disastrous at first. Then he tells her she'll never be good and Joan hits one out of the ball park! As she continues practicing at home, Bradley calls and mentions the country club committee is coming and that they're old-fashioned. So Joan gets an antique grandfather clock, a spinning wheel, and someone's old family album to impress their visitors. She also makes some saltwater taffy that results in some sticky situations! How this gets them into the country club membership I'll let you find out for yourself. Suffice it to say, this is one of the better episodes with hilarious scenes with Leonard and that taffy sequence that must be seen to be believed! Worth seeing for Davis' physical antics alone.
