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

in a neighborhood like that and houses right by the course had nets. Granted he was like two streets away and still had golf balls show up in his yard occasionally.

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
