Or take a marker and write a nice note on the ball then throw it out of your yard.

Word will spread quick on where not to hit the ball.

At some courses a private yard is treated the same as a water hazard, if you can retrieve it without stepping in the yard you can have it back, if not, the ball is lost and you take the penalty.
Wow, GWN, I never thought of that. Is there a rule against hitting balls from your OWN yard onto the course? I'll bet there isn't!
What about that, Nitpicker? Can you research that one? I like that idea...heheh.
