Any other state i can't give you the facts but i would find it hard to believe it is legal to damage someones property and legally walk away.
That means a golfer could show little respect for surrounding property's and get away with anarchy, doesn't sound right to me, but we are talking about Florida and in the villages.
Also even if you are in a restricted convenient of restrictions like we have in the Villages, state Law still Preempts any local regulations or by-laws.
There are many things in the Villages that are preempted by state law and who has deeper pockets is the question.
Bottom line i have encountered many golfers who don't respect private property and alot of post in Village forum shows that is so, so let your own opinion be the judge.

Chelly, you have now several times posted your
bold and ALL CAPS error which you claim is
FACT that the law says golfers are liable for damage. Please read the link posted by Gracie or simply use Google as it is your friend. Unless a golfer is reckless not just a poor striker, or the golfer can be shown to have deliberately aimed at the house, the homeowner assumes the risk of damage when choosing to buy on an existing course. So don't buy a home 150 yard on the right from the tee. If you wish to continue to assert the law is against the golfer, please post your authoritative citations as others who read your strong statements seem, based on my reading, to have been misinformed by you.
