Played in a tourney this weekend and I put one through the bedroom window on the first damn hole. Talk about a crappy start.

quote:The time I did it the homeowner came out, handed me the ball, stated that the window (was a large one) was $200+ to replace as it had been hit before. Told him I didn't have the cash, he wrote down his name, address, and phone number, handed it to me and I left. He didn't know who I was. I mailed a money order to him.quote:Indeed.

Seriously, if there was a way for me to get it all taken care of right there on the spot then I probably would pay up to $100 assuming the homeowner was nice about it. Someone who got all mad about it and in my face I would definitely not pay.

I don't have facts, but would imagine that quite a few people purchase a home on the course for the view without thinking about windows, as many are not golfers. Some probably accept that their home could get hit, but had no idea of the frequency. Or they could just be having a crappy day and a broken window was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Regardless of how the homeowner reacted, I am wired to take responsibility of my actions whether intentional or accidental.

Why are you not responsible? Pretty sure every course I play says the golfer is responsible.

A sign can't make someone do the right thing.

You guys need to watch a few Matt Kuchar instructional vids and take some notes and this would all be a non-issue. Simply hit the ball about 300 yards, dead center of the fairway. Also, make sure your hip over-rotation isn't affecting your clubhead speed. Do these things, and you'll be living in the hall of fame in no time.
