Making a group pick up and move ahead a hole or two, or banning them from playing for a few weeks if they are continually being warned...is about the only thing that MIGHT get their attention.

Even then, it most likely wouldn't be enough for a lot of these total flaming jerks...to make much of a difference
I Guess your right, But i can't understand when a ball goes off the course it is a dead ball! to go on someones property and invade there privacy bothers Me! if the ball is a couple feet in and you see it and retrieve it i don't have a problem with. But to trample through someones property and play hide and go seek is not acceptable.
