Trashing Brookside
Tens of thousands of the 90,000-plus fans who came to the UCLA-USC game Saturday at the Rose Bowl tailgated before (and after) on the Brookside Golf Course fairways. Usually, a contracted crew of dozens of guys shows up to clean up the detritus and literally vacuum the course so that golfers can play at first light Sunday.
This time, they failed to show.
Sunday, all 36 fairways were covered in an incredible mound of trash -- this blurry Heineken bottle one instance of it. Sunday night when I walked by after dark, a few guys were out picking up the trash. But all day Sunday, perservering golfers played through, as it were. One told me his Titleist ended up in a can of bean dip, and rather than fish it out of the gunk, he just gave himself a free drop with a new ball.

It's unfortunate that so many "college" educated people never learned what most pre-schoolers learned - Pick Up After Yourself ...

I find it odd that a venue that holds 100,000 people would be surrounded by a golf course. There's no excuse for littering, but really now...a golf course isn't going to go through large events unscathed. Let's get real here in Pasadena.
