Re: Golfers Liable?
We chose not to live near a golf course, one of the reasons being what this thread is about: errant golf balls causing damage, the others being errant golfers looking for their golf balls and the sprays and pesticides that are used on the golf courses. We'd never thought about how the costs of damage are handled, so this is an eye-opener for us. Since from this thread it appears that the golfer is not legally responsible for the damages he or she causes, then the solution would have to be based on what's moral, decent, and responsible, simply owning up to any damage and taking it from there. This is a pretty thoughtful question and hope to read more on this thread about it....
