My post will not change anybody’s mind about a window broken by a golfer on a golf course. Legally you may not be responsible for repairing the residents window. I say “may not” because I did read of a court case (I can’t imagine going to court for a broken window) where the court decided that a golfer was responsible for an errant golf ball that did property damage to property off the golf course. But for purposes of my post I will say you are not legally responsible for replacing a window on a house along a course in The Villages unless you could prove “negligence” on the part of a golfer. That said, how much does a window cost? Full disclosure: I have never damaged anybody’s property that is build adjacent but off golf course property. If I did, I would apologize and offer to pay for the damage to the property out of my pocket because I would feel morally responsible, if not legally responsible, to do so. How much would a window cost? With all that is happening in the world today, a broken window is the least of our issues but to each his own choosing.
