ESPECIALLY that guy. On a men's day about 5 years ago someone in my group hit a ball onto his roof while he was in his yard raking. I advised him NOT to go over and apologize but he insisted. The "guy" did his usual act of filming and yelling with his toes right up to the property line so as to not violate his restraining order. Two holes later they came and asked the golfer for info---the sheriff was in the pro shop.
I asked what happened 3 weeks later and the golfer said that he was presented with a bill for $800---the owner claimed the ball hit his gutter and he had to replace them around the whole house! I assumed he did not pay it, but he did---he stated he wanted to avoid "trouble". There is a distinctive difference in the sound of a ball hitting the roof and hitting a metal gutter, so we knew it was BS
First of all, why did the sheriff get involved in something that is purely a civil matter?
And secondly, everyone here (except the OP) realizes the homeowner assumes responsibility for damage caused by a golf ball.
Third, why pay an a$$h0l3?
And the obvious 4th, why do people like that buy on a golf course?
Full disclosure--I live on a golf course
