The Rotborough Country Club (RBCC) was a privately owned social and sporting club catering to the elite of Rotborough. Founded and owned by Alfred Sacksman, the club hosted a variety of gala events and sponsored athletic championships in sports such as golf, tennis, and lacrosse. In addition to its private functions, the RBCC contributed to local civic life by funding or sponsoring numerous public events, including parades and community outreach programs.[citation needed]

Controversy and The Sacksman Family

The Rotborough Country Club (RBCC) has been associated with a number of controversial and unusual events, many involving members of the Sacksman family. The youngest son, Chet Sacksman, was reportedly linked to nine separate incidents prior to his disappearance, including the murder of Timothy Rosewald. In 2001, Chet Sacksman, the youngest son of Alfred Sacksman, was arrested on the grounds of the Rotborough Country Club (RBCC) for public indecency after streaking across the golf course while allegedly under the influence of drugs.[citation needed] A week later, he was again arrested for assaulting William Donahue, a former friend of his brother Phil Sacksman. When questioned about the incident, Chet reportedly offered a hostile statement to investigators, though the official interrogation transcript remains disputed.[citation needed] Prior to these arrests, Sacksman and his band, Tezticular Torzion, faced legal scrutiny following a performance at the annual Boy Day festival in May 1999. The concert was overcrowded, resulting in a crowd crush that caused the deaths of six attendees. The Rotborough County Medical Examiner determined the cause of death to be compressive asphyxiation. Although the incident was officially ruled accidental, multiple lawsuits were filed against Chet, his father Alfred, and the band.[citation needed] In addition to these controversies, the RBCC grounds have been the site of several bizarre occurrences. In May 2000, golfer Gordon David Brimley III killed Alfred Sacksman’s prized koi fish, Onizuka, in the ponds near the seventh hole of the club’s “Green Loop” course. Brimley allegedly attacked the fish without provocation before resuming his game, ultimately shooting a score of 54.[citation needed] He was later arrested, fined, and permanently banned from the club.

Wildlife-related deaths of patrons and members have also occurred on the property. In August 2002, golfer Roland Presley Stansfield was killed by an alligator while attempting to retrieve his ball from a pond on the fifth hole. On the same day, Wilma Robertson was bitten by a venomous cobra on one of the club’s tennis courts; she survived her injuries. The origins of the two exotic animals remain unexplained, as neither species is native to Missouri and neither was part of the Rotborough Zoo’s collection at the time.[citation needed]
