Broken Windows
The golfer is responsible for errant balls on the golf course. My husband was hit while standing in our yard. The golfer's insurance company very quickly made a very substantial offer in return for my husband's signature on the release form. The agent stated that courts consider the ball itself a "trespass."
You are responsible for your actions. Do you think that those who build near an airport assume the responsibility for airplanes crashing into their homes or those that live near a curve in the road absolve drivers from liability if they miss the curve? I am sure that you remember playing backyard baseball and your parents making you pay for neighbor's window from your allowance.
We have only had one window broken. My husband then designed a double screen with 20-20 mesh on a matching frame that can not be noticed and solves any future problems. It is easily removed for window cleaning. It is a cheap and efficient remedy.
Please play and enjoy the game with responsibility.
