If you damage someones property because you hit an errant ball, repair the damage. Yes it was an accident and people who live on golf courses expect errant balls. I could not sleep at night if I hit someones home and caused damage and did not make every attempt to resolve the damage. And I would expect the same from everyone else. If you can't own up to your actions, don't play the game. I just can't seem to comprehend why anyone worries about what is the legal answer instead of what is the "right thing to do" answer.
Have respect for yourself, enjoy your integrity, and go ask the homeowner if you caused any damage. And if they say yes and show you the damage done by the idiot who left yesterday, smile and pay for it. He has to live with that, you don't. Good and bad deeds come back to you 10 fold. Personally I only expect to see good ones. ;D

Sounds wonderful when it's limited to property damage only. Change the scenario to hitting an errant drive into a persons head or eye. They incur thousands in bills and maybe some disability and it's determined you aren't negligent and therefore not legally liable. No doubt you'd cough up thousands regardless.
Right!!
