A Long Island golf consultant is teed off because the managers of numerous swanky country clubs in New York’s wealthiest suburbs are boycotting his firm and preventing their members from calling for help at a time when they’re reeling from the economy and effects of the Madoff scandal.

The nationally recognized consultant, David A. Shaw, of Greenvale, Long Island, filed an anti-trust lawsuit Thursday in New York State Supreme Court in Mineola, Long Island, in which he claims that trade groups representing the managers of these posh clubs illegally blackballed his company. The suit, which also names the managers of some of the region’s most elite clubs, seeks unspecified damages for lost revenues and damages that could reach millions of dollars.

John Vendikos filed an age discrimination lawsuit against the New York Yankees for discharging him after 27 seasons with the organization. Mr. Vendikos, a 73 year old bartender at Yankees Stadium, was dismissed because of his age.

After 27 years as a bartender at the old New York Yankees stadium, he was forced to re-apply for his position at the new stadium. During his interview with the New York Yankees organization, he was asked “Why should I hire you? You’re an old man.”

After serving such Yankee legends as Joe DiMaggio, he thought the statement was a poor attempt at humor by the interviewer for the New York Yankees; however, he later found out that it was no joke.
