pqrstar: Thank you for taking the time to red my post.

Again many insurance companies have coverage for property damage to others that is NOT based on liability.

The main reason most golfers get away with not paying are 1) they leave the scene 2) the damages are not costly and so a claim/;awsuit is not pursued.

I assure you if a golfer hit another golfer on a course and the golfer hit died that situation would end up in court provided. I'll wager a jury would find the golfer responsible for the plaintiff ( deceased) death.
