That’s right, Bernie’s reign of terror continues and this time he’s hitting where it hurts. The Post reports the North Shore Country Club has seen its membership slashed by a third as a result of Ponzi Boy rendering his victims too poor to swing the $16,000/year fee, with one woman “so hysterical, she just cleaned out her locker and left.” 20 part-time and six full-time employees have been laid off and it’s possible the place may have to pack it in for good. On the plus side, rates are being discounted so if you’ve been looking to join a place but were previously too cheap to do so, now’s your chance.

Rough, hazardous time to be a greenskeeper.
Correct me if I’m wrong Sandy, but if I kill all the golfers, they’re gonna lock me up and throw away the key.

Maybe they took their balls and landed on the beach?
I would not be a member of a cc with a golf pro named Michael Shank !!
Sorry to go off topic but rather than “to cheap to do so”, shouldn’t it be “too cheap to do so”?
@5- you have a sad little life, don’t you?
@6 probably, but at least I am literate.

two wrongs don’t make a right, but three rights make a left.
@10 – Golfeteries = one stop shopping. Bury ‘em under their favorite hole, with the grief, booze and Triscuits get-together in the club house afterwards.
On the welcome letter to new members: Please leave pitchforks in your car.
I heard this story on Bloomberg yesterday and it made me more irritated than usual, given the fact that it’s (a) Long Island (b) a bunch of pikers who actually invested in a douche like Madoff (c) proof that people who cover finance have no concept of perspective.

Spalding get your foot off the boat!
Overheard last week at the North Shore Country Club before teeing off at Deepdale.
Al Czervik: Last time I saw a mouth like that, it had a hook in it.
Al Czervik: Oh, this your wife, huh? A lovely lady. Hey baby, you must’ve been something before electricity.
Judge Smails: I demand satisfaction.
[mocking] You demand satisfaction? Well I’ll tell you what’s satisfying: *cash*. I’ll shoot you 18 holes for ten thousand bucks!
Judge Smails: [laughs] Wha… I could beat you with one arm!
Al Czervik: Well, how about teams then, for twenty thousand? You can have Dr. Frankenputz…
Dr. Beeper: [mortified] I beg your pardon!
Al Czervik: And I’ll take Ty, here.
Ty Webb: Wait a minute guys… I don’t play golf… for money… against people.
Ty Webb: You take drugs Danny?
Danny: Every day.
Ty Webb: Good then what’s your problem?
It’s easy to grin when your ship comes in and you’ve got the stock market beat. But the man worthwhile, is the man who can smile, when his shorts are too tight in the seat.
