I wonder how much the golf course is getting from their insurance. -- nm - Max Apr 26, 07:53 1
- $5m -- nm - spamlet Apr 26, 07:55
Building in the middle of the 5th fairway was ill advised. -- nm - Dano Apr 26, 07:42

They sued their homebuilder too?! -- nm - ty97 Apr 26, 07:30 1
- They were probably also the developer, and responsible for siting the house on the lot, or whatever. -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 26, 07:38
I agree that amount is crazy talk. But shouldn't the course have up nets or something between the course and the houses? I know my buddy used to live - sycor Apr 26, 06:52 5
- It seems to be more about the design of the course - and either the design should be changed or the house shouldn't have been built in the first place -- nm - Roger More Apr 26, 07:24 3
  - Even still…that’s how golf is. You cut the corners. You don’t want your house hit, don’t buy on a golf course. - Will Hunting Apr 26, 07:43
  - It sounds like they moved one of the holes to improve the problem. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 07:32 1
    - but they only did so after the ruling from what I read earlier this week. -- nm - Diva Apr 26, 07:37
- No. You buy on a course, it’s an assumed risk. You want access to the course unfettered for the views and the ability to play a hole or two at dusk - Will Hunting Apr 26, 07:24
If I was that golf course I would build a 20 ft tall wall blocking their property off from the course -- nm - decline Apr 26, 06:46 1
- for sure. the ugliest chain link fence that ever was. -- nm - amanda Apr 26, 07:05
