Exactly. It would be the same as driving down the road and the vehicle in front flicks up a piece of gravel that breaks your windshield, there is no liability. If that vehicle is a gravel truck which failed to secure the load (due care) then a claim may be justified.
The car owner could sue the golf course if they were negligent in design but the golfer would not be liable.
