Hack the System? Nah, Grab a Senior County Card (and Maybe Some Discounted Golf While You're At It)
Thinking about joining the elite squad of Los Angeles County Senior Cardholders? Hold on there, grandpa (or grandma, no age discrimination here!). While a Senior County Card sounds fancy, it's actually all about enjoying some sweet golf course discounts.
But first, a word to the wise: This ain't your AARP membership (although those are pretty cool too). This card is strictly for those 65 and over. So, if you're rocking a youthful 64 and a half, you might want to hold off on that victory dance.
Alright, Alright, Alright, How Do I Get This Magical Discount Machine?
Here's the exciting part (or maybe the terrifying part, depending on how you view paperwork). There's no online application, no waiting in long lines at the DMV (unless you need to renew your driver's license at the same time, then you're in for a treat). Getting your Senior County Card is surprisingly straightforward.
- Step 1: Channel Your Inner Indiana Jones and Find a Treasure Map (Okay, Maybe Just a County Golf Course)
That's right, you gotta head to one of the Los Angeles County Golf Courses (excluding Maggie Hathaway, they're rebels without a cause). Don't worry, there are plenty scattered around the county like friendly, green oases.
- Step 2: Unleash Your Inner MacGyver and Gather Supplies
Here's where things get real. You'll need some spy-worthy gear:
-
Proof of Age: This could be your driver's license, passport, or even a birth certificate (just promise you won't frame it this time).
-
A Current 1 ¼ x 1 ¼ Inch Photo: Think school picture day, but hopefully with a little less awkward smiling.
-
A Cool $28: This is the annual fee, and it's way cheaper than that fancy new putter you were eyeing.
-
Step 3: Become One with the Golf Course Staff (or at least Politely Ask for Help)
Head to the starter's window (think Gandalf at the gates of Mordor, but way less intimidating). Show them your goodies (proof of age, photo, and cash), and they'll whip you up your very own Senior County Card. Voila! Instant discount magician.
Now That You're Wielding the Power of Discounts, Here's the Fine Print (the Not-So-Fun Part)
- This Ain't No All-Day Buffet: Those sweet discounts are only valid Monday through Friday, excluding holidays and tournaments. So, save your weekend warrior golfing for full price.
- Brush Up on Your Shakespeare: Remember "Macbeth" and that whole "fair is foul and foul is fair" thing? Well, senior rates are only available during non-peak hours. So, dust off your knowledge of iambic pentameter and consult the course schedule to avoid peak-priced golfing woes.
There you have it, folks! Getting your Senior County Card is a breeze. Now you can hit the green, enjoy some discounted golfing fun, and maybe even impress your grandkids with your newfound knowledge of Los Angeles County Golf Course regulations. Just remember, with great discounts comes great responsibility. Use your power wisely, young grasshopper (er, seasoned golfer).
