I also live on a golf course. 95% of the golfers know that the ball went onto private property. They break windows hit people etc.. many just walk on to peoples property to pick up balls 10 to 30 yards into the property. Simple put there are golfers out there that do not care about anyone or anything other then their golf ball. Yes I know if you buy on a golf course a ball will go on to your property. However the attitude of many golfers is pitiful. Many owners have put up signs no trespassing etc. I have seen golfers look around laugh at the signs then walk over and hit them with their club. If you complain to the golf course then admit they really can't do anything about it. So I looked up florida law about private property. I was surprised to read that a person coming on to your property carrying carrying a club could be shoot by the owner in self defense. Especially with sign posted and being told not to enter. Sooner or later it is going to happen.
