You (or your friend) knowingly damaged a vehicle with your golf ball. Now you want us to give you some sort of cover thru our opinions?!?!?!?
Let's say you were 12 years old playing baseball and broke the neighbor lady's window......what would your parents tell you????

My advice....do the right thing:mornincoffee:

Not the same as a vehicle throwing up a rock. More like, a guy out shooting in a field intentionally put a golf ball. (I mean bullet) in the gun. Then intentionally swung the club to hit the ball (I mean pulled the trigger to discharge the bullet). The golfer failed to hit the ball as intended, the ball hit an incentive car. (I mean the shooter failed to aim or handel his gun in a safe way and he unintentionally shot a child playing nearby.
Yeah! I see your point. No need to accept responsibility for damage or death caused out of stupidity or lack of ability. It's God's will. It must be. 😏😒

Psst! They're not really special. They only THINK they are.

It certainly wasn't intentional. Hell, if we could hit the ball where we want to all the time we'd get invited to Augusta every April.

Again with the "reductio absurdum fallacy"...

Are they having a BOGO special on them @ Publix this week?

Depends, if you yelled " fore" or not...

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.

Hmmm
Unrelated, you’re not from Cali by chance?

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"?

RUN!

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.

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.

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

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

Hit the ball say 200 yard and would you hear glass shattering?

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

This thread was beat to death with 52 posts…………should have been left for dead!🫢

If damage is to your home and property, you pay.
If damage is to a car going by, or parked, and they do not own home next to course, golfer pays.
If ball is deliberately hit away from where it should be hit, it can become a criminal act.

However, a responsible golfer would offer to cover the costs of damages in every case.
We know that always happens here.

Finally! The right question.

Would that also not particularly good shot with shotgun or deer rifle also??? The shooter pulled the trigger just like the golfer? :D

Foul?

Years ago I was watching a talk show where a young woman ,who had been convicted of vehicular homicide , due to DWI said she didn't feel responsible because she did not intend to hurt anyone , granted a very different situation, but liability doesn't hing on intent, owning a home on a golf course I would think you are accepting some liability, driving on a public roadway considerably less, but in the real world I think you can only count on your insurance
