No one with any common sense would file a claim for under $200. One would either pay for it or walk away with the thoughts that you back up to a golf course expect golf balls to hit your house. There are screens that can provide some protection.

That said, there is a house on a course that shall not be named, whose window has broken by a golf ball for about 5 months. Owner comes out screaming (mid 80s or above) you broke my window.

Now did their ball actually hit the window that has been broken for months or hit the house and owner is holding out for multiple events?
