Summary
Alberto discovers that he has a natural talent for golf and begins competing at the local country club. But will his dad's over-enthusiastic and embarrassing cheers cause him to give up the sport altogether?[5]
Plot
At the park, where an earthquake is taking place, Bionic Bunny is seen flying over where the earthquake is, and goes to save the day. He then starts saying to the viewers that the hardest part of being a superhero isn't lifting heavy objects, or preventing natural disasters. While sealing up the earthquake, Bionic Bunny gets distracted by a fan who wants him to sign his limited-edition coffee mug. As he goes to sign it, Bionic Bunny loses control of the earthquake, and gets launched away. During this, he says to the viewers that "the hardest part of being a superhero is the fans!".
After the title card, Mr. Molina is seen in the kitchen reading an article in the Elwood City Times about how Alberto won the junior soccer championship by passing three defenders. Alberto comes into the kitchen and corrects his dad that he only passed two defenders. Mr. Molina wants to paste the article into Alberto's scrapbook, but Alberto tells his dad that he has to go with Arthur for his morning run.
While Arthur and Alberto are running by the Crosswires', Chip hits a golf ball which almost hits Alberto, and Alberto manages to catch Chip's golf club when he accidentally let go of it. Muffy explains to Arthur and Alberto that she's helping Chip train for an upcoming golf tournament, and Chip asks Alberto if he could have his club back. Alberto has never played golf before, and attempts hitting the ball with Chip's club, getting a perfect shot. After Alberto gets multiple good shots, Muffy ask him if he wants to play a game of golf on a real golf course. Alberto agrees, and Muffy hopes that he has a good caddy. Arthur volunteers to be the caddy, although he doesn't understand what that means.
Arthur and Alberto look into what a caddie is. Ramon hears about it, and says he sadly has a dentist appointment, but will reschedule. Alberto objects, but to no use. Arthur, at night, reads a book about how to be a good caddie, and has a fantasy where he helps Alberto, as the book says that a caddie needs to be loyal.
Ramon offers to drive Alberto and Arthur to practice, but Alberto refuses. Walking there, Arthur asks why Alberto wanted to get away from his dad so quickly. Alberto explains that his dad embarrasses him when he plays sports. At the game, Ramon arrives, holding a box of t-shirts with Alberto's face on it and it says 'the Dean of the Green'. Chip misses a shot and calls a mulligan. Alberto gets a good score, and when Ramon says that he needs to set up the score card in the book to compare with the next one, but Alberto gets offended and says no, there isn't going to be a next time.
Alberto comes to his dad, who tells him that his score was so good that he got nominated for the championships. Ramon says that he can't come. At the championship that Harry Mills is reporting on, Alberto is losing to Chip, and has a dream that his dad is upset that he didn't come. Arthur calls Ramon, seeing Alberto is sad. Ramon comes, and asks for a mulligan, which means to get a do-over. Alberto agrees, and Harry Mills returns to the game. Alberto wins, and his dad gives him some food. When Alberto makes a shot, Ramon jokes by saying he should play basketball.
