According to official court statements, Myers ‘found it almost impossible to find a tee time and frequently could not even use the driving range.‘ However, following their resignation, the Carmel Country Club charged the duo for the remaining initiation fee of $64,000, due by the end of the month. When not adhered to, they sued Myers in March 2021.

Two months later, the MLB star counter-sued the club, claiming ‘misrepresentations and omissions’ on their part. They said that the club hid how difficult it is to get tee time on the course and they failed to mention this during the initiation phase. In retaliation, however, referring to the covid-19 pandemic, the club said it had ‘altered the lifestyles and available leisure activities for all members of the club.’

Meanwhile, the next hearing is scheduled for February 22. Who do you side with? Do you think Myers makes a fair case?
