True story: Many years ago I was playing a course in South Florida when I pushed a shot from about 160 yards out over a large mound on the right. Two ladies (not players) drove out from behind the mound in a golf cart, with one of them saying "you broke my cell phone - what are you going to do?". I was stunned and surprised, then thought it was some kind of scam to get some cash from me.
I just told here I was going to play golf. Then later I met her husband, who was on the course playing in another foursome, and he confirmed that my ball knocked the cellphone out of her hand and broke it. He didn't seem all that concerned, and neither did I. She wasn't supposed to be on the course anyway.
