Nobody tries to hit it into someone's yard. Even good golfers sometimes hit an errant shot. And a lot of us aren't good golfers. I think it's nice, and friendly, to put up a sign saying to feel free to retrieve your ball, but you don't have to. I also understand why some don't want people trampling thru their yard all the time.
I don't understand why some homeowners would stand on a ball, or hit or throw it far away. What's with that?
I think that when you have a lot on the golf course, you should expect some balls in your yard/lanai, etc. Maybe non-golfers who buy golf-course lots are surprised by balls in their yard, but they should have anticipated this. Plantings can help divert them from your house.
