The couple took over a decade to actually join the club, with annual dues of $31,500, but spending closer to $125,000 a year to visit the Anaheim parks. They were expelled from the club five years later when park security guards found the husband intoxicated in the park, a violation of club rules. The couple has since spent $400,000 suing to regain access to the club and ‘clear his reputation,’ claiming he was not drunk but suffering from a “vestibular migraine” which looks a lot like being drunk and can be triggered by red wine. They claim they were targeted for retaliation because they complained about a different club member harassing other club members and staff.

The couple plan to appeal.

Don’t build your identity off a relationship with a corporation.

If your local country club kicks you out, at least you can appeal to the membership.

In this case it seems they actually own their local country club:

“My wife and I are both dead set that this is an absolute wrong, and we will fight this to the death,” Scott, who owns a golf course in Gilbert, Ariz., told The Times. “There is no way we’re letting this go.”

Sounds like he should start his own Club 33 with blackjack and hookers.

And bottomless red wine glasses.
