What if, like me, the homeowner had a $1000 deductible and the bill came to over 1K. What would you do? Hmmm. Don't seem to get a straight answer from anyone as to what they would do. We've had this thread 20 times in the past 5 years and no one answers my question. Would you still pay the homeowner even if the bill came to a much higher than expected amount? Yes? No? If not why not?

And please don't answer with something like "Don't you have any ethics Russ?". I want to know what you would do - not what you expect me to do.

Thanks in advance for anyone honest enough to try an answer the real question.
If it were I who hit the golf ball, I would initially feel morally responsible to pay for the damages. If however, the home owner acted like a jackass about it, I would exercise my legal right to blow it off. BTW, the home would have to be on the left side for me to hit it. I haven't sliced a ball in years, but a sneaky pull hook does slip its way into my game occasionally.
