Curly gets his golf ball stuck in the tree and decides the only way to retrieve it is by chopping the tree down, Moe finds an open area to practice, but the only thing that he hits is the ground, which is soon pockmarked with hundreds of divots, And Larry practices putting, but a root gets in his way, and he tears up the putting green in his efforts to extract the seemingly endless root. All of this destruction is noticed by the two outraged and angry Italian-ethnicity groundskeepers, to one of whom Moe's explanation of the field of divots was, was that "The Pieces are getting Smaller" - this drives the groundskeepers to complain to the golf course's management personnel, who respond by sending the police in pursuit of the trio.
