Default Golf ball breaks back windshield on Buena Vista today.

I was riding in a car who's back windshield was destroyed by a golf ball. Needless to say it was a very loud and scary experience, which left my girlfriend and I thankful nobody was sitting in the back seat of the car at that time.
We stopped and were able to locate the golfer who hit the ball.

It was obviously an accident but my friend has a $500 deductible on her car insurance. We have the name and phone number of the golfer, and the insurance company said they would contact the golfer to determine if he has insurance which would cover the deductible.

This happened south of 466A, past the Pinnelles entrance. I have seen golf courses with high nets along the road where balls can be hit into traffic. Now I understand the real danger golf balls can pose to traffic and the danger of a possible accident, if the driver were to lose control of the car.
