But his bad shot broke a window on private property (I always wondered why anyone would want a home on a golf course. Waking up at 0700 on a Saturday hearing people playinmg golf.)). I do not know the law but would think that logic says if you hit your shot off of the course through a homes window you would be at fault. When I attempted to play many many years ago at Tuxedo Park, I drove off the course and cracked a car windshield. A car driving on the road. I paid for that one (The road was built after the course.). What would the rules say about that?
