I had a golf ball bounce off my roof one time. The roof of my CAR! Scared the you know what out of me.

I also had a softball foul ball go thru my windshield even though I parked down the street.
Both happened outside of TV.

Just one of the unfair crap shoots of living another day. Better than the other option.

Not the golfers I have known for 40 years. I agree with PTurner...again. Her post about claiming responsiblity is what I would expect from the golfers that have been on the course with me. Of course every day people surprise me.

Not many homes on golf courses in TV are positioned to get errant balls. It is true that there are more novice golfers on executive courses here and it is also true that even accomplished golfers will hook or slice occasionally. I would look for a home on a championship course and positioned to not be within range.

We actually just bought a Golf Site on friday --we spent several days parked on the site --watching golfers ----We also took pointers from this site---

Left side of course --most glofers like myself are righty --slice to the right
Home site is on Championship course --cuts down on errant strikes, hopefully
Cart path is on the opposite side of the course ...

If we get hit ---its our problem --we know the risks but we feel the rewards far surpass those ----and anyway I need a supply of golf balls because I send too many through other peoples windows
