Not so. The result is the same. Both golfer and shooter are responsible for their actions. One is not absolved of his responsibility by being a golfer.

As for the BOGO @ Publix, I wouldn't know. I generally go to Aldi's or Winn Dixie. Closer.

Yes, it's quite common to be killed by an errant golf ball to the car (which is what this thread is about)...

Umbrella insurance pays for damages that are in excess of a primary policy like your homewowners insurance. Could be needed if the golf ball hit and killed a person,

Is it "fore", "four", or "for". Why not "heads up", or "duck", or "ball", or my favorite, "incoming"?

I shattered a car windshield that was driving down the road. I owned up to the error and my homeowners insurance paid for it. This was in Ohio, 30 years ago, and with Allstate.

Honesty and integrity. Good on you, mate.

Providing it was not intentional then there is no liability, either for damage to a residence or vehicle. It doesn't mean you shouldn't offer to help pay for damages while not admitting guilt.

I live on a golf course and was told that I am liable for any damage to my home from golfers. That's the risk of living on one.

It seems to me that the golfer should bear moral responsibility, even if not legal responsibility, and cover the cost out of pocket.

now on the flip side ....your car hit and dinged my golf ball and i want money for pain and suffering.

Why was the car on the golf course in the first place?

Windshields are automaticaly covered, no deductable, under FL law.
