I've never seen a golfer NOT go into our yards to get their ball, but I've found a few that hit the house and apparently there was some shame or fear of blame. I have been consistently told anything by TV golf managers that that retrieving on private property is officially forbidden.
I'm going to raise a stink here and surmise that some of the same people who want their rights respected to private property with regard to animal toileting are the same ones trampling my flowers to retrieve their missing little balls.
Toileting your dog in others' yards, regardless of easements, is also officially forbidden according to the authorities. So these two issues will continue to be a war zone between people do right and people who get away with wrongs.
Just try not to be hypocritical. It irks me. The issue is not about how much a ball costs, it's about how much your integrity is worth.
