Golfers sue city of L.A., calling out failure to stop black market in tee times

Five golfers filed a class-action lawsuit this week against the city of Los Angeles, alleging that officials failed to rein in a bustling black market in tee times at municipal golf courses. In October, some of the golfers, who are members of an Asian American golfing group, shared evidence with L.A. Department of Recreation and Parks officials of brokers selling tee times on public courses, according to the lawsuit.

'As a result of LA City’s failure described herein, Player Cards have no value for the purposes of obtaining affordable tee times at LA City Golf Courses,' the lawsuit said. A representative for the Department of Recreation and Parks did not immediately comment Friday morning on the suit. A spokesman for the City Attorney's office declined to comment, citing the pending litigation.
