The only real solution is tempered glass in those windows most likely to be hit by a golf ball.

Having lived on the first fairway at the 175 yard (ground zero!!!!) mark I can tell you with certainty there is no screen that will prevent a direct hit from shattering regular glass windows.

We had the sun porch enclosed with all tempered glass windows. The best descrition of an errant drive hitting the window....it sounds like a gun shot inside the house.

The only window ever broken was one of the sky lights which was not tempered glass.

To give you a small idea of the potential for balls to be in your vicinity. Over a three year period we accumulated 13 dozen golf balls from our yard.

I literally use to wear a baseball helmet when working in the yard.

Ah yes. The good old days!! Are past!
