So my brother plays on his high school golf team. They have a home match today. The home course is the golf course we live on so I decided to go sit in the backyard and enjoy the perfect weather watch the kids play. My brother is in one of the later groups so I'm watching some of his teammates. One mishits the ball and hits the house about 3 houses down from me. I'm thinking to myself "no big, it's a house on the golf course it happens all the time." Honestly my house has been hit a couple of times and I've never thought anything of it. Well this bitch comes out of her house and starts yelling at these kids and telling them they need to learn to play. I think to myself "WTF do you think these kids are trying to do lady?!" I wanted to go over there and smack her. For heavens sake she moved onto a golf course. Just like people who move next to an airport or racetrack and complain about the noise! Also if I'm correct this course makes you sign a liability form when you move here saying that if your house gets hit you can't hold the person who did it responsible. Next time I play I want to put a line drive right into that witches house!

That is all!

 

The other day a guy ran across the road against the lights (I'm driving through a green) and so, calculating that I wouldn't hit him, I made a distinct effort to let him know I was not slowing down. He proceeded to yell "asshole!" at me as I drove past.

Ignorant people do things and then want to blame everyone else for the outcome. Just ridiculous. Move away from the golf course if you want to avoid golf balls.

 

I played through in someone's backyard once,

I was low on balls, and it was a friendly game between friends.

 

I try to hit people like that, fun times.

 

my brother and sister bought a new home in a developing comunity out in denver a few years back.
everything was set for construction to begin when yada yada yada a part of their lot was sold to another company.
the company that originally sold them the lot then offers them another lot ( a little bit bigger) on a golf course. my sister talks with a few of her friends and one that also lives on a golf course. they decide to take the lot.
only once in a while they will hear a thunk from a ball. they have a bucket full of balls in their back yard. it's not that big of a deal. and also with the fence that seperates their back yard and the golf course is only 3 feet tall, my brother always hops the fence and plays the 3 holes that are right in front of his yard. and he never pays for balls.
it's also a country club so the golfers there are usually regulars. wave and be nice to them on a regular basis and the one time that a window does get shattered, they might offer to pay for repairs because you been nice to them in the past.

 

My back yard faces the Golf course. I don't have any problems at all. Never had any problems except kids at late night wandering the course and breaking things.
Never had a problem with golfers. Really nice, and quiet.

My wife scared the kids with a gun one night when I was OCONUS. She thought they were breaking into our house. Now no problems with the kids now.

 

Mikey & Shy, old people and children are worth extra points!

 

It's a given if you bought a house on the golf course that sooner or later you are gonna git hit. That is why some residents in the golfing community takes preventive measure like a net, lexan windows, etc. For people making a big deal of it, most likely imo thats bad. Especially when they know where you live and probably will launch a couple more when they come back next time.

 

This is OT, but I had to throw it in:

A man and a woman were playing golf and the woman put a ball through a house window. They hurried over and a man wearing a turban appeared. The woman and man started to say over and over that they would pay for the damages. But the man with the turban says: "I'm a Genie and I was locked in this house for a millenia to show my sincere thanks i will grant you one wish". Surprised, the man says "Let us be millionares!". The Genie replies "Very well then. From now on $1 million million will be put into your bank account every month". The man exclaims in joy " thanks very much!" But the Genie asks for a small favor in return: "I have been trapped in this house so long that I have forgoten the pleasures of a woman, may I borrow yours?" In their joy they say: "Oh of course". So the lady went to the house that night. The next morning the Genie asks: "How old are you?"
The lady replies: "21." The Genie then says And you still believe in Genies!"

 

In Columbus a hole on a course had to be redesigned because some retard move into the house right on the dogleg and then bitched daily about golfers in his yard.
