Many golfers that play from men's tees should be playing one tee box up. Although it may not look like much of a difference many course strategically place the tee boxes so it will be very difficult to hit a house. Golfers need to put the ego aside and play from the right tee boxes for their skill level!!!!

Once I rolled a golf cart down a hill and completely destroyed it, the hill was slippery with dew. In that instance my homeowners policy paid for it. In the second incident I hit a golf ball through a kitchen window (2 panes). The lady came out to the out of bounds tossing the ball in the air asking if it was mine. I told her it was, asked her if she would take ten dollars for the broken window and she did. Two times this happened to me.

It's called assumption of risk. If you choose to purchase a home that is on the golf course you should know what to expect. Unless it was intentional, and can be proved, then no you are not liable.

So here is what i was thinking: 1. When you see hole flags fairly close to the buildings, chances are they are putting holes for practice. If you live on a golf course you better know how to putt. 2. The actual golf holes go sideways to the building till it's nearly impossible to make a straight aim for the windows. 3. The windows themselves are made to deflect objects such as golfballs. Such plastics and glass exist but they are very expensive. Even though they may not break, they might get scuffed up. They probably change out the windows on a regular bases when they get too scuffed up. I was wondering this too, since this is becoming more common. So here is what i was thinking:
