A beautiful par four had to be permanently changed to a par three and the course is no longer an official par 72 Championship layout, all because some idiot bought a house on a golf course and never expected stray golf balls to come their way.
There are stray golf balls and then there are 700 golf balls (or 26 windows or the entire siding or...) in the course of a few years. That house should never have been built or the course should have been designed differently from the start. There is no way that situation was acceptable.
