The golfer is not responsible for fixing the window. Errant golf balls are a risk accepted when purchasing a home on a golf course, just as alligators are a risk accepted when purchasing on water. The golfer has no obligation to fix the window.

Terminology. I would call it a mistake, not the golfer's fault.
"Mistake is generally used when something wrong happens inadvertently and there was no prior intention to do the 'mistake'. Fault is generally used to communicate the idea that wrong action was done with intention and possibly, malice."
