Sex on the Golf Course

The local Fox affiliate WITI, broke a story yesterday about a strip club sponsored golf outing that delivered girls in the buff granting sexual favors for cash right on the golf course!

This all took place in Caledonia, a small community south of Milwaukee that is famous for absolutely nothing. It's a suburban/rural area that has always reminded me of Bomont, the town in Footloose.

Naturally, Calendonia is up in arms about this. They have a point, especially since most of this behavior was plainly visible from a public road bordering the course and from public areas of the club like the driving range.

It appears that the golf course and the strip club both knew exactly what was going on. The spokesperson for the course went as far to defend the private event, saying:

"We keep all the entertainment in the center of the course where it is not seen from the road." That comment was made BEFORE seeing the undercover video. After viewing a few seconds of the video, South Hills manager Tracy Jensen responded, "I have no further comment," as she walked into the country club's banquet facilities.

Some more of the details:

The undercover cameras captured video of some golfers as they were fondling, groping and licking strippers from Heart Breakers Lounge in West Allis. Most of the strippers seen on tape are wearing little or no clothing as they "entertain" golfers in exchange for money. Several of the golfers are also seen taking off their clothing as they interact with the women.

The Fox website shows a picture, but no video. The video I saw on TV showed topless strippers being fondled by ugly men in golf clothes, a women apparently "going down" on a guy, and a man dropping trou.

Now, I think the strip club and the golf course have a right to have such events. The general idea is to keep this out of the public eye. This is no more lurid than your average bachelor party (sorry girls, it's the truth).

I expect the golf course to take much of the heat here, ...taking away their liquor license has been mentioned. But the real trouble is for all the guys who never told their wives and girlfriends that the golf outing they attended was just an excuse to lick whipped cream off a strippers chest. Most likely the women will be able to pick out their men from the video being shown. I suspect some men will be sleeping in their cars tonight, ...but it's really hard to feel sorry for them.
