Controversy and The Sacksman Family
Many controversial things took place at the RBCC in relation to the Sacksman Family. Namely surrounding the youngest son Chet. Leading up to his disappearance Chet was responsible for 9 individual incidents including the murder of Timothy Rosewald. Beyond this and a handful of other strange events, RBCC has seen many bizarre events take place over the years. For instance in May of 2000, Gordon David Brimley III "assassinated" Alfred Sacksman's beloved koi fish in the ponds of the golf course for no discernible reason. He was playing on the 7th hole of the famous "Green Loop" on the grounds when suddenly and without warning he mercilessly beat the fish, named "Onizuka" to death, and returning to the game to shoot a 54 as if nothing happened. Brimley was subsequently arrested, ordered to pay a fine and was banned for life from the country club. This however wasn't even the only instance of death involving wildlife, as in August of 2002, an alligator was found on the course and had killed golfer Roland Presley Stansfield as he was retrieving his ball from the 5th hole pond. And later that same day a venomous cobra bit Wilma Robertson on the tennis court of the RBCC. Fortunately however, in the case of Robertson, she survived her injuries. How these two rare and exotic reptiles found their way to the golf course is till a mystery, as the Rotborough Zoo did not have any of these animals as apart of their collection of animals. And alligators and cobras are not native to Missouri.
