I understand exactly the point of your post. It is a very rare occurrence.


It was frightening and caused real damage, but fortunately it is something that doesn't happen very often.


I extend my sympathy to the first poster. I also want to point out that in six years of diligently reading this forum that usually catches wind of most things of this nature, I hadn't heard of it happening here before, so I truly believe it shouldn't be worrisome for the rest of us or make us attempt to take action.


Bad golf things happen occasionally and unexpected good ones too, like holes in one.


I hope that no one reading this forum ever is victim of an errant golf ball but we do have a LOT of golf courses that were here when we moved here and it is remote possibility. We G's have lived on Golf courses or in golf course communities for the last 40 years and have escaped being hit.
