Default Having lived in golfing only communities and owning a fairway home

the golfer is responsible and the ones who know where their shot went usually will make what ever happens good. Most do not know where the ball went. And there is the many, MANY who will never even attempt to step up to the bar even if they know where the damage is the might have caused.

And with usual golf communities, when you opt to live on or near the golf course you are assuming responsibility for errant ball damage. I have never ever heard of any community either making repairs or even having to remind residents it is the home owners responsibility.

Look at the bright side...you get free golf balls.

We had a home one the first fairway at the 170 yard mark. We had all the windows of the sun porch done in tempered glass. No breakage.....and to put it in perspective of possible hits...over a four year period....14 dozen golf balls....I haven't bought a ball in years......first fairway...first ball....they are all new!!!!!!!!!
