Default I like your response.

And then comes the sticker price shock of replacing a window today. (My only reference point is replacing a window 50 years ago). I’d guess hiring someone to replace a window today would cost $100 - 200.

It’s unfortunate some home owner would claim they had to replace their gutters because a ball hit their roof. But it encourages a person to not insist upon contacting the owner.

And finally, although not a part of your post, it’s possible the golfer didn’t realize they actually broke a window from 150 yds away. Many don’t have good hearing
