Not only a lack of common sense and decency but cheating to Golf Gods to boot. If a ball goes out of bounds, it's a stroke and distance penalty (i.e., you have to hit again from the same spot you hit the errant shot).

Now personally, I have nothing against informal "friendly golf". However, there's nothing friendly about hitting a ball out of someone's yard.
