The City of Quincy has yet again been hit with a major lawsuit.
This one is over voiding the lifetime membership of a long time member of the now both City of Quincy owned and operated Furnace Brook Golf Course as well as banning the plaintiff from stepping foot on the golf course.
While the South Coast broadsheet both broke the story and did a solid job of detailing particulars, a short recap of events along with Quincy Quarry News’ signature as well as trenchant cutting to the heart of the matter analysis follows.
The banned golfer is a local who has regularly played the course for over fifty-three of his sixty-three years.
The course has thus long been the center of both this individual’s sporting activities and social life. Further, he served multiper terms as the course’s president before the City of Quincy took over control of the course in recent years per a long in the works agreement.

In more recent years, however, this individual has been battling cancer and such has is said to have detrimentally impacted his control over his bowel movements with the only to be expected happening.
For example, earlier this spring and a roughly a year earlier, the plaintiff apparently suffered loses of control of his bowels while in the golf course’s clubhouse and so soiled its bathroom facilities.
In turn, the City of Quincy cancelled his lifetime club membership as well as banned him from setting foot on the course.
Needless to say, he was both embarrassed over things apparently ending up outside of bathroom commodes as well as emotionally crushed over the considerable disruption to his life caused by the banning of him from the happy place for him that is the Furnace Brook Golf Course.
The three specifically named defendants

Three city employees were specifically named in the lawsuit.
Further note that the City Solicitor, whose home overlooks the green for the ninth and final hole of the golf course, is the point person for the City of Quincy and thus then yet again stepped in it during his response to inquiry by the South Coast broadsheet.
The solicitor yet again posed his usual back pedaling schtick thatnthings are complicated even though things in this latest koching up are simple: the put upon senior battling cancer is a disabled person given a medical condition and thus ill-treatment by the City of Quincy clearly looks to be a violation of his civil rights per the rules and regulations of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Accordingly, Mayor Thomas Koch should see the appropriate financial damages and truly contrite apologies tendered as soon as possible as otherwise this dispute is going to be expensive for local taxpayers should this lawsuit go to trial and so likely suffer the usual loss for litigation handled by the City Solicitor.
That and so stinks up not only a courtroom but also public opinion of the Koch Maladministration.
Needless to say, the handicappers in the Quincy Quarry newsroom are betting on at least a triple bogey carded by city officials
