Someone told me that that was filmed at Rancho Park.  I love that one (other than the damage they do to the course).

That just cost me 45 productive minutes!   Nobody ever funnier than Fields.   "It was a woman drove me to drink, and I never had the common decency to write and thank her."

12:16 looks like a treeless 8th hole with bunkers front left. I'm having trouble figuring out which parts of the course they are on for the rest since there's not much around as refernce.

I loved the Stooges when I was a kid.  If you ever wondered why Shemp ended up replacing Curly.  Sad story.
