The set back or the easement has nothing to do with it. A ball on a resident's property is out of bounds. If you are playing by the rules of golf, the penalty is stoke and distance, i.e., from where you hit the last one. I live on a golf course and have no problem with someone retrieving their ball from my yard. I've only caught one person about to hit from my lawn. When I asked him not to hit from there (from my laini) it was obvious he knew he was in the wrong. I have seen folks driving golf carts into resident's yards - also a no-no.
