Window broken by errant golf ball yesterday
 
Our bedroom window was broken by an errant golf ball

Unfortunately, I believe you assume the risk being the last on the golf course.

Who was there first???

Golf course first, Golfers second, Homeowner last.

As long as there was no intent by the golfer.

OP, why don't you be a responsible adult and accept that you live on a golf course and the golfer was just playing golf? It was not his fault.

Their Home owners insurance will pay for the repairs. Everyone in their group had to be aware of this. Please step up and be a responsible adult and contact us or your insurance company to contact us anonymously. Tom and Teresa Zumbrook, 705 Bradford loop, the villages fl. 32163 thank you

If you buy a home on a golf course, that's what happens. You wanted to live on a golf course, you assume the liability.

Sorry, but that's life on the golf course.

An assumed risk by homeowner covered by homeowners insurance. The rest doesn’t matter

MrChip72 10-17-2023 05:36 PM
Even if someone admits that it was caused by their golf ball, does the OP expect for the insurance company to sue the golfer or something? Window replacement is cheaper than a lawsuit.

It’s the risk assumed when choosing to live on a golf course. Might want to consider replacing the window with plexiglass. Look on the bright side, a broken window is a much lower risk than having the owner of the golf course tear down the clubhouse, restaurant, and other facilities and building Villas where the facilities used to be. I’d be way more concerned about that happening now that precedent has been set.

Sounds about right. I've had more than a few occasions where myself or someone in my golf group hit someone's home with their ball. I feel like 9 times out of 10 we would have no idea if we broke a window. It's not like the window would normally make a loud shatter noise like you would see in a movie.

Would we trespass to assess the damage, or retrieve the ball? Never.

I'll bet $100, he also has a "No Trespassing" sign ... if not, the sign says: "No Looking for Balls".

Broken window
 
Come on guys lighten up how can it not be the golfers fought for breaking the window a responsible honest person would have left a note with their info, at least that’s what I taught our kids to do.

Not the golfer's fault. He just hit a bad shot. It happens. The OP's claim that the golfer's insurance company should pay is ridiculous.
