I get your point Kittygilchrist.
No matter a few feet or 30 feet its trespassing polar bear.
It is like Kittygilchrist is saying if you put a little dent or a big dent you are still damaging someones property, weather or not you get caught is not integrity.
People aren't bothered by a couple of feet but the old saying goes, give them an inch and they will take a mile.
Now i have seen people with telescope ball retrievers and they come out 8 to 10 feet.
These people stay on the course and if they can retrieve there ball they get it, if they can't they leave it and never come on the property.
Now one gentleman couldn't retrieve his ball and headed toward his cart, I stopped him and said let me get that for you and thanked him for being a gentleman.
he wasn't sneaky and tried to come on the property and then run away like you have stated polar bear.
Are you starting to get the point.
The rules are not to come on private property or off the course.
Everyone seems to know that rule but feels it doesn't apply to them.
