Dressed in clothes they've / "borrowed" from the clubhouse, the three strike a pose / before wreaking havoc on the links. And no rough, / fairway, or green is safe from these knuckleheads, who / might chop down a tree to get to an errant shot or stop / at the ball washer to do a little laundry. As madcap / today as they were in the 1930s, the Stooges will make / the leader board of any golfer's favorite ornaments. / Sculpted by / Tracy Larsen / For decorative use only.
