You can never deduct losses on personal property. I don't think this counts as an "investment" (stocks, bonds, etc.)

Would it not be considered an asset?

Not an asset because IRS Publication 463 specifically prohibits deduction of club dues and membership fees for any club that is organized for pleasure, recreation OR other social purposes.
