Do all the Ambassadors on the different courses remind the players to keep out of residents yards? Maybe a reminder at the beginning of play would help.

You are not allowed to go on...

The village rules(as the rules for this most everywhere)state that you are not allowed to get your ball from someones lawn/property...unfortunately there are many others who have no respect for others property so you see it all the time...a shame that some adults can not obey even the simple rules... |

We've lived on a course for several years and what happens never ceases to amaze. A few highlights: one afternoon a 3 foot hole of broken branches appeared in our 5 foot high azalea bushes, someone apparently fell in (but thank goodness, we were never sued for not having handrails); at least twice a year several feet of bedding flowers have been trampled or crushed by people falling over or rummaging thru trying to retrieve a ball (again no handrails); one day while sitting in the lanai a golfer came over and asked if we had a step ladder he could" quickly borrow" to retrieve a ball from the neighbor's gutter (it's true, no lie!); and the best is the guy driving his golf cart between the houses and into the front lawn looking for his ball: when confronted he stated his disability golf sticker allowed him to go anywhere. Our front yard is 75 yards from the fairway. I'd be pretty embarrassed if I missed the golf course by that much. I guess you can't fix stupid!
One thing we noticed, Winter golfers are much worse and disrespectful of property and property lines than the Summer golfers. In the winter we always have a few divots taken out of our back yard where people have played them where they lie, irrespective of where the out of bonds markers are.

I do not go on someones private property to retrieve a golf ball. If I mi**** it on your ground it is yours and I am sorry.

I have butterfly bushes in Virginia. I enjoy all kinds of butterflies, but none as beautiful as the monarchs. Thank you for sending some north!

For some reason people do not like to lose a golf ball,I think they rather lose their spouse then a damn cheap golf ball.If its out of bounds no matter what sign is their they will get that ball.That will never change with some golfers,sad but true.My rule is NEVER retrieve a out of bounds golf ball NEVER.I don`t care if its in plain site and the owners of the house are up north,that ball will stay their as far as I`am concerned.And if its in bounds and I can`t find it within 10 seconds I drop another ball and play on.I NEVER retrieve a ball out of water also.

It's not just in TV. I lived on country club courses twice back home and it happened on a daily basis during the summer.
That's why I chose not to live on a golf course here. It's going to happen. Always has, always will. |

There has to be some common sense applied here. Respect the owners property, but if a ball is retrievable without stomping on gardens, going up next to the house, do so with respect. |
