I wonder how the members of a golf group would react if one of their members broke a window and just kept walking. Personally, I would never play with that person again. Sometimes, you just have to do the right thing and "man up".
You've really touched a nerve with this thread!
From the people who feel "You broke it, now pay for it". To the opposite viewpoint ...
"People who live on golf courses need to accept that there will be hit-and-run golfers".
I agree with you Sandtrap, that sometimes you just have to do the right thing and man up.
It just seems wrong to think that someone can break a window, take no responsibility, and happily continue playing golf.
And that is not a "holier-than-thou" statement.
