A terrible hook on par three from one of the folks we were paired with that went though some trees, we saw it bounce on 466 at the intersection of BV, lucky for him it didn't hit a stopped or moving car.

There is what is called "assumed risk". This is generally present when you buy a golf course home. (you know there is risk and accept it). There is ot assumed risk of being hit by a golf ball when traveling along a highway.
For the most part, golf purses carry insurance that protects homeowners from a higher level of damage. Many golf course homes have waivers, or limited waivers in their contracts. I don't know how it is in TV.
