These are not meant to be a statement of the law but rather what I understood from playing golf? Only an attorney can make a reasonable judgement as to responsibility!  |
Not sure where you got these "rules," but these are not the Rules of Golf. There is no excuse for hitting a ball ever is someone is 120 feet in front of you.
And, um, if you hit an errant shot that endangers someone, the purpose of yelling "fore" is to protect the other player from injury or death, not to avoid being sued.
