From personal experience, at the 175 yard mark from the t box.....ground zero for many, MANY errant drives. Our neighbor had a very delicate and decorative fence/shrubbery line that golfers ROUTINELY climbed or broke their way through to get a ball.

As with all groups/populations/categories of people, there will always be that small percent that just will not and do not abide by any rules in pursuit of their personal "needs".

That small percentage, however does account for more golfers than most would imagine, that behave so inconsiderately.

So if you haven't lived it, it is difficult to understand why home/property owners would be so motivated to give notice. By the way, if fences will not keep them out....signs have zero effect. ZERO!

No doubt the signs were placed there because people were trespassing. Large print on a white background may be required to obtain the attention of some folks. The premises is literally a dump. The owning entity (the developer?) doesn't want some trespasser suing for slipping and falling, breaking a leg or worse. The signage is there because it is needed.

BTW, do these signs remind anyone how great it is to live in a community with landscaping and other ambiance restrictions?
