SO if you go by the logic some have used what would happen if you are playing pickleball and you accidentally hit another player in the eye with the pickleball? did the other player assume the risk by stepping on the court or are you responsible for paying all of the medical bills and compensating them for pain and suffering? what if you blinded them? Sure some will say this is different as the player was in the field of play but it is no different than buying a home that can reasonably be expected to be hit by a golf ball. As far as detaining a golfer trying to get away I would not recommend this approach unless you wish to go to jail for assault and possibly false imprisonment
