The car owner could sue the golf course if they were negligent in design but the golfer would not be liable.
Not the same as a vehicle throwing up a rock. More like, a guy out shooting in a field intentionally put a golf ball. (I mean bullet) in the gun. Then intentionally swung the club to hit the ball (I mean pulled the trigger to discharge the bullet). The golfer failed to hit the ball as intended, the ball hit an incentive car. (I mean the shooter failed to aim or handel his gun in a safe way and he unintentionally shot a child playing nearby.
Yeah! I see your point. No need to accept responsibility for damage or death caused out of stupidity or lack of ability. It's God's will. It must be. 😏😒
