Hi Cantwaitoarrive: This is an excellent time to insert the adage
"It depends on whose ox is being gored."
Beside which your comparison is incongruent. For one thing there is no legal relationship between a golfer and the homeowner who incurs damage.
As to ethics. Many of us know many golfers who often hit errant balls. They well know they are likely to hook or slice.
Ethics is involved in most of our decisions.
Finally there actually are some residents here who believe that people who buy on a golf course deserve what they get. I find this attitude mean spirited.
Personal Best Regards:
