Lakeside Golf Club in Burbank, California...
Bob_Huntley:
This is getting away from the architectural discussion but getting back to Lakeside as a club and its membership.
More years ago than I care to remember I was on the course but some way behind a fourball that had Mickey Rooney and George Gobel playing and riding in the same cart. Rooney was, to put it mildly somwhat hyper-active. After a few holes and a particularly bad shot he went back to cart and broke a club. As the round progressed a couple of more clubs were destroyed. It wasn't until the back nine that Gobel screamed at Rooney that he was breaking his, Gobel's clubs. Mickey's response was "Jesus, you don't think I am going to break my own do you?"
All's well that ends well, Rooney ponied up for new clubs in the Pro shop.

Lynn_Shackelford:
I don't know if it stills holds true, but Lakeside members for years were always proud to state that Mickey Rooney was the only member in club history to be thrown out.

And to think that he was once married to Ava Gardner. If he was still married to her, they probably would've let him stay.
