What is the title of the Mr. Bean episode in which he tries to play mini-golf?

The story behind the answer

The Mr. Bean episode in which he tries to play mini-golf is titled “Tee Off, Mr. Bean.”

The episode follows Bean at a miniature-golf course, where he approaches a simple game with the same inventive but impractical attitude seen throughout the series. Rather than completing the course normally, he creates increasingly elaborate ways to move the ball, turning a quiet recreational activity into a long physical-comedy sequence.

The premise illustrates one of the programme’s defining techniques: Bean treats ordinary rules as obstacles to be bypassed instead of instructions to be followed. His determination is usually sincere, even when his solution is absurd, which makes the comedy come from the gap between his confidence and the result.

The title is sometimes misremembered as a generic golf reference. “Tee Off, Mr. Bean” is the specific episode title, while other episodes use different settings such as a hair salon, a church or a do-it-yourself home project.
