Yes, that's true. But it doesn't necessarily follow that you also accept the need to pay for someone's faulty shot.
If your logic was applied to life in general then if you are driving out on the road and someone hits you, then you should be prepared to pay for the damages to your car. Afterall, when we drive a car, we know that we are putting ourselves at risk of being hit (just like a homeowner on a golf course). However, we shouldn't also be held financially liable for the other person's actions - whether it is a bad golf shot or a car accident.
