While I feel bad for your misfortune, I think your expectations are out of order. Houses built on golf courses are at risk and you the owner know that. You can mitigate your risk.
The golfer is the guest of the golf course. They do not bear responsibility unless negligent.
If I inadvertently broke a window, I absolutely would not go searching for the owner or even leave my address and name. Especially after I read your expectations. Too much chance of conflict. I would notify golf course ambassadors and let them do what they are trained to do.
It would seem that The Villages should put some warning/expectation into the covenants to alert buyers of golf course properties of these risks.
