It absolutely is a defense and would hold up in court in a second again because of the "what would any logical person think" rule.
Actually, I couldn't care less if you walk there or not. It is not MY private property. You are the one all out joint because the Caroline starter came out and told you that you were walking on the private property of Mallory Hill Country Club. If you think this "incenses me", think again. If you think it incenses that starter, I doubt it, but he is an employee of the golf course. If they allow a non-greens fee holder, non-golfer to walk on their private property, just who do you think is liable if you get injured???? And if you just didn't know, then you just didn't know, but now you do. I don't agree with your "doubling down" on the path as being nowhere near the golf course, and I think you would have a hard time finding anyone else to agree. I would also tend to disagree that ignorance of the law is an absolute defense. That being said, peace.
