We live on the golf course here in the Villages. Most golfers are considerate and have ethics but there are always "the jerks" I have had to tell grown men that the rules of golf say that they CANNOT play the ball in my yard!!! They are welcome to retrieve it but I really don't want people playing their ball if it lands in my yard. One guy actually told me that this is the Villages and the same rules don't apply. We have had two broken windows. One we were home for and my husband walked out on the golf course to confront the person. He was not happy but he did pay for the window. If my husband or I broke someone's window we would let them know. I believe in Karma and I believe what you do in your life you will reap. I don't really know the legal answer but the right answer is to take responsibility. We taught our children to own up to their mistakes why would it be different for us? We love living on the golf course and we have worked hard to be able to do that. Why would people think we "deserve" what we get. I don't understand that thinking. As a sidebar, a friend of ours broke a window on Bogart and his homeowners insurance covered the whole thing.
