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.

I live on a golf course and I agree with you. I would prefer they not hit the ball from my yard, but hey, it's just grass.
Life is good!
