I was able to id him and found out he actually worked on one of the courses. No more. Daily Sun published the golf etiquette rules on Feb. 4, 2013. They need to be published again. Never play or retrieve a ball from the yard of a resident. Report any damage of private property. Playing is strictly prohibited beyond the property line of a resident, even if not designated by white stakes.
90% of our golfers are great and respectful and I am more than happy to let them get their ball (unless it's a ProV1) The trees have finally grown so I get very few balls any more. Love the view! ps last time I played Evans Prairie, I had to call up and tell them the fairways were so wet they should ban carts. We were sinking. Where is the course superintendent?

On the rare occasion I play golf I never look for ball I hit out of boundaries. For one I'm too embarrassed and two Only a cheap X$$ DS looks for balls holding up play.
