Name of litigants: Plaintiff – Alexander Good; Defense: American Golf Corporation
of California, Inc. d/b/a Pumpkin Ridge Gold Club

Date lawsuit filed: Dated January 6th, 2011; filed January 14, 2011

Court in which lawsuit filed: Circuit Court for Multnoah County; Multnoah, OR

Present Status of the Case: The case is currently in the pre-trial phase and the two
sides are conducting depositions.

Concise statement of issues in dispute: Due to rain, an overheard awning was set
up on the course’s practice range. Good had hit a ball that ricocheted off a pole of the
awning and hit him in the face. Good claims that the course was negligent in setting
up the awning and obstruction near the range. Furthermore, they assert that the
awning pole was the cause of Good’s injury and Pumpkin Ridge acted negligently
by knowing of the condition and failing to exercise reasonable care to alert of the
danger

What plaintiff is asking court for: As a result of out-of-pocket medical expenses,
future medical treatment costs and future earnings capacity impairment, the
plaintiff seeks an award not to exceed $3,000,000 in non-economic damages, a
judgment of reward for out-of-pocket, current and future medical expenses as
well as recovery for future earnings impairment and any costs and disbursements
incurred along with statutory interest with respect to the awarded sums.
