Window break ettiquette
We live on a championship course and understand that golf balls vs. window panes are the trade off for the privacy and views that the course offers us. Yesterday, we had a golf ball come through our window from players out in a late evening rain storm. We watched the two players take off like a bolt of lightning struck. They made no attempt to even make eye contact with us or even look at the house for damage and sped quickly away toward the Bonifay Club House. The second player didn't even take his shot and neither one played the hole.
We understand that the financial responsibilities for repairs is our burden, but the person who damages the property also has a responsibility to notify the homeowner in some way. If you are too embarrassed, have the ambassador tell the homeowner! I hate to think of all the water damage we would have had if we were away. A little common courtesy(and common sense) goes a long way.
