Then, how do you explain why a pro golfer on the tour is not responsible for injuries they cause to a spectator? Even if the spectator signs a waiver, it would not supercede a Florida statute or law if it existed.

Reading comprehension is important. My post stated that the comparison was ridiculous not accepting responsibility for your actions. If reading some of these ridiculous posts insulting everyone who does not agree with their positions caused someone's blood pressure to rise and have a heart attack or stroke, would they be willing to accept involuntary manslaughter responsibility plus financial responsibility. They wrote it. It caused the result. Or maybe the way the were raised would suddenly magically change.

Twice we lived on championship golf courses. My wife loved it and I looked at our purchase as a good investment and also enjoyed living on a golf course. It goes without saying anyone purchasing a home on a golf course should do their due diligence as to location on the course. In the years we lived on golf courses, we never had any property damage. If you purchase on a golf course and don’t do your due diligence, expect issues with golf balls and golfers. A bit off the subject, sorry but I hope its helpful for future reference if you plan to purchase or build on a TV golf course.

Just because someone is not at fault in an accident does not mean you are not responsible.

No.

Actually, that's backwards. In Florida, the golfer could be considered at fault since he hit the golf ball. But the homeowner who knowingly bought on the course has assumed all responsibility.

Would you feel the same way if the ball went through the window, hit someone on the head, and they sued you for $50 million?

Nonsense! Just because you know the odds of having a ball hit your property are higher by living nearer the course, doesn't mean you accept the irresponsibility on the part of poor golfers. That is like saying a person who parks their car at the curb assumes all responsibility if someone crashes into their car while stationary and parked near the roadway.

They know if they broke a window! Someone broke the largest window in my condo. I went outside and looked at a man and he admitted to breaking it. Cost him nearly $4,000.00. He was a gentlemen about it...Thankfully!

Re-read the post...............you don't understand the statement.

That must have been one-mean look.

Why did you move?

Btw, we just bought a house in The Villages on the Tarpon Boil (Executive) Course.

I’m hoping that we don’t get hit with TOO many errant balls.

Higher? How about guaranteed that a house on a golf course will be hit by a ball. That's about the third time somebody used the auto scenario in this thread. Still doesn't change the legalities on a golf course.

Not necessarily. Some people are honest and will take responsibility for their actions and pay to repair or replace what they damage.

humor sheldon, humor.
