This is a quote "The same standard would also apply if an errant shot caused a ball to cross a road near a golf course and either hit a passing vehicle or injure a pedestrian. Without some showing that the golfer was acting unreasonably (lined up facing the road, intentionally made an effort to hit a vehicle, etc.), it would almost certainly alleviate the golfer’s legal responsibility for damages resulting from her or his shot." |
This must happen a lot in the Villages of golf balls hitting houses. I would hope that some reasonable man approaches have been taken. If you live by a golf course you would expect some golf balls to hit your house. And the homeowner should take safety measures .
