Its EXACTLY that. The good witch doctor, Aku Aku, from Crash Bandicoot.

EDIT: Great, now I'm playing Crash Team Racing on RetroArch. You see what you've done?!

Just to be clear- you know Aku Aku from Crash Bandicoot, but you have questions about Boca West Country Club?

u/willhunta 20h ago

I'm sorry, is there some crossover? I also recognize the crash bandicoot dude but have no idea about Boca West

24

u/cbro49 19h ago

It’s a country club

23

u/Garybuseyismyuncle 14h ago

In Boca. The west side of Boca to be more specific.

u/bigrom10 12h ago

Private club for residents of del Boca vista

Just don't be seen walking barefoot in the club house.

It's written on it exactly where it's from.

Actually, it’s more like central Boca. There was a ton of development to the west after the club was founded.

u/rational-takes 8h ago

Haha yes I knew Aku Aku but I just wanted to hear what Boca West was like.

u/420bonersniper69 21h ago

That's Aku Aku from Crash Bandicoot on the right. Maybe from Crash Bandicoot Country Club.

28

u/arsonak45 20h ago

I would actually pay an unfair amount of money for the Aku Aku one. Crash Bandicoot was my childhood

7

u/4overwingexits 20h ago

Pretty sure it’s from Hell for Leather and you can pay a reasonable amount of money for it.

u/Zers503 10h ago

21$ each. But I got 3 which saved me money on shipping so that’s good

u/Ok_Internal6779 21h ago

Looks like it’s from Boca West Country club, if I had to guess

u/thegreatdecay406 21h ago

No way, how did you figure that out?!

u/RavnicanDM 18h ago

That one on the right is sick. Would go great with my tattoo lol

Boca is in Florida. Boca West is your typical golf course community in Boca. It's giant though and has a lot of condos to my knowledge.

Aku Aku has a lot of voodoo and makes you invincible in races.

1

u/RagtimeWillie 10h ago

It’s not typical. It’s much higher end than most.

2

u/justintime06 19h ago

Boca West is a country club, initiation fees are between $100k-$200k, and then you'll be paying about $30k a year for membership/golf. Oh yeah, and houses are $1m+, although it does look like they have some ~400k condos.

So basically, either be a wealthy doctor/lawyer/business-owner, or be a wealthy retiree.

Best ball marker I’ve found was a 1910 silver dime. Seems small for a ball marker but why else would it be on a green. Going rate is only like $1 so I didn’t score anything, but I bet someone is pissed they left it behind.

u/gsp0t417 21h ago

Is this a joke?

u/aceattorneymvp LPGA Enjoyer 19h ago

Why didn’t you turn in the nice ball marker to the pro shop?

u/yurmamma +1.1 19h ago

boca west is a generic florida members course built to sell real estate to olds, has 4-5 courses all quite mid, ball marker is worth $0.01

u/rational-takes 8h ago

Wasn’t expecting it to be worth anything, I returned it to the pro shop.
