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.

First: Nobody should be trampling your flowers - that's crazy.
Second: People are complaining about toileting on the yard (for the most part) not walking on it.
Personally I only get a ball if I can reach with a club. I don't walk past the white stakes. If someone on their lanai invites me (or they have a sign) to get the ball then I will. Don't get me started on golfers who ignore the green top red markers which FORBID any entry!
But the OP was talking about hitting a ball from the yard and that's a very good analogy to the animal toileting situation. Both are just wrong.
