As a person new to golf, this discussion has been quite a revelation to me. When I was younger, a golfer friend of mine was extolling on the greatness of the game. One of his points was that it was the game of gentlemen, where golfers regularly called penalties on themselves. Now, I'm a bit surprised to see the number of golfers who seem to think it's perfectly OK to break someone's window and not pay for the damages under the theory that it's the homeowner's responsibility because he had the audacity to buy a home there.
