USC Notes: Fans In Short Supply At U.S. Open

Los Angeles Country Club just staged the U.S. Open.

Remember in 2019, a group of business leaders and USC alumni mounted a behind-the-scenes campaign against Rick Caruso’s bid to join the country club in retaliation for the dismissal of business school dean Jim Ellis, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Caruso withdrew his application.

The U.S. Open was considered a disappointment in terms of atmosphere. There were only 9,000 general admission tickets available and L.A. Country Club bought half of those, so only 4,500 were available to the public. Of course, there were 14,000 tickets for suites and hospitality.

Players complained the crowds were smaller/quieter than expected.

If you get invited to join the exclusive club, the initiation fee is between $300,000-500,000 and monthly dues are $20,000-30,000.

The club’s land is valued around $8-9 billion. The property taxes would be $60-90 million a year but the club pays around $300,000 thanks to a 1960 proposition that said a golf course could no longer be assessed based on its highest and best use.

  • USC already has recruits wearing jerseys with a Big Ten patch on them now, like this one worn by wide receiver Dre’lon Miller.

  1. Do any of Scott’s fanboys know why he has such an obsession with attendance numbers? Of the thing related to the US Open, attendance is his focus….thanks

      1. Just to be clear, gotroy22(aka fake gabby) needs treatment for her paranoid schizophrenia condition. It is a fairly common (and can be severe) mental illness: about 0.32% of the population suffers from it. [Let’s see. There were 331 million Americans in the 2020 Census. I don’t believe they diagnose it (for sure) until one’s late teenage years, so let’s apply it to those Americans and Traitors like Fake Gabby 18 and over. Google says that 258 million Americans are 18 years old & older: 258 million x 0.0032 = 825,600 people adults who suffer from paranoid schizophrenia, just like Fake Gabby

        An elderly man rear-ended Gabby driving an expensive sports car.

        Enraged, Gabby hops out and confronts the old man.

        “Look what you did to my car” she yells.
        “You’re going to give me $10,000 right now or I’m going to beat you to a pulp!”

        “Oh my” says the old man, “I don’t have that kind of money.

        Let me call my son, he trains dolphins and he will know what to do.”

        “Dolphins” Gabby huffs, while rolling her eyes.

        The old man pulls out his phone, dials his son and just as his son answered, the irate Gabby snatches the phone away from the old man.

        “So, YOU’RE a dolphin trainer, huh? Well, Your old man here just rear-ended my car and I need 10 grand right now or I’m going to beat you AND your old man to a pulp.”

        “I’ll be there in 10 minutes,” says the voice calmly on the other end.

        Exactly 10 minutes later a Jeep pulls up and a guy hops out and proceeds to pulverize the bully, leaving her in a heap on the side of the road.

        When he finished, he walked over to his father and said….

        “For the last time dad, I train Seals, Navy Seals…..

      1. Weird how the Fake News Media including NBC owned Golf Channel never mentioned LACC’s history of excluding blacks and Jews…

        “LACC, renowned for excluding entertainers from joining, had no Jewish members until 1977 or so, and no African-Americans for some time after that. Its exclusion of Jews was alluded to in a legendary anecdote about Los Angeles’ private club scene at one time.

        It involved a Texas oil man, Frank Rosenberg, who was rejected for membership at LACC. “They probably thought you were Jewish,” a friend said. Rosenberg was advised then to try Hillcrest, a club founded by Jews who were unable to join LACC. So he applied there, but made the mistake of telling the club he wasn’t Jewish.

        “Oh, dear. I’m sorry. We don’t admit gentiles,” a Hillcrest member said.

        “Well I’m an SOB,” a frustrated Rosenberg replied.

        “If you can prove that,” he was told, “you can get in Riviera!””

      2. Real Gabby:

        Most of the really challenging private golf courses were built over 100 years ago. You could not duplicate them today because of the cost of the land. I suspect that most if not virtually all of these clubs excluded Blacks and/or Jews at some point in their history. If the PGA or NBC excluded these clubs from tournament play, you would be depriving your viewers of the best courses in the US and viewership would suffer. I am glad they show the Masters.

      3. Riviera Country Club, home to the Genesis Open, is different from the Los Angeles Country Club, which hosted the U. S. Open 2023 and will host the 2039 U. S. Open. Way more conservative than the Riviera Country Club. If you played there, you’d know the difference. Clearly, your not familiar with who the membership of the LACC is. Otherwise, you wouldn’t speak about it.

      4. World:

        Have you personally played at both LACC and Riviera and therefore know the difference in courses. Are you personally familiar with the memberships of both courses and their respective political views?

        Give me a break. A UTLA leftist kook doesn’t get invited to play on either course and certainly isn’t extended a membership and cannot afford a membership. Parking cars at special events for tips doesn’t count as “familiar with the membership.” Virtually every post you make is implicitly dishonest. Same guy who said LAUSD teachers are not tenured.

        Plow, I like exposing the hypocrisy of the Fake News like NBC which owns the Golf Channel and lectures us on wokeness yet somehow went silent over LACC’s history. Hillcrest CC was a response to the restrictions. Yet nary a mention. You are right that almost every golf course over 100 years old used to restrict membership. Remember how the NY Slimes went on and on about the Masters until they relented and let in female members?
