it's kinda like dump trucks that drop rocks that ping your windshield. why are they not responsible?

I've hit one over the netting on that back 9 par 3 at Webb during rush hour. I don't know how it avoided every car.
Ditto only it landed on the cab of a beat to shite ford truck. Black dude flipped us off and kept driving.
I've landed on a few roofs playing at San Destin

have hit plenty of houses. I would never offer to pay unless I was doing something stupid. If you live on a course, there's a good chance something will get broken at some point. Part of living on a course.

I live in a neighborhood with a golf course. My house is by the green of a long par 4 and sits 60 yards (by rangefinder) from the green. Most shots have run out of steam before they get to my house. The side that faces the approach from the fairway has no windows by design.
In the 15 years since I built the house, I've had probably a dozen balls hit my neighbor's driveway and then my roof. I've only had one back window, facing the green, broken and that was by a guy that skulled a bunker shot from the other side of the green (about 67 yards) and hit the mutton on my window. We were home so I walked out and he volunteered to pay the damage. The back patio is now covered so it is unlikely any more glass will be broken.

Here's a good one for you....
Would you rather be 180 yards from the tee box in a slice zone on a par 4 or par 5, or 220 yards from the tee box?
Maybe I'm splitting hairs here, but if most amateurs slice it badly, most don't reach 220 yards.

I've hit houses but no windows. I'm pretty sure I smoked a BBQ pit or something metal at Santa Maria one day.
A guy in my group in college hit a car on #13?? at Webb over the net. The lady came back a few minutes later but we played dumb and acted like it was another group.

I was cleaning my dad's gutters one weekend (we can call it community service). When I got to the front of his house, I found 5 golf balls in the gutters. He had a very steep roof line and was only about 150 yards off the tips and 50 yards in front of the ladies / senior's tees. I have no idea how people were pulling off that shot especially with the three large live oaks in his backyard, I was kinda impressed.
I have hit a few houses, but normally high up on the roof. Never broke anything, but I have had a few that sounded like a cannon when they squared up the shingles!

I had a buddy blade hit driver like he thought he was hitting his 60° at Santa Maria one day. That ball came off like a rocket no higher than 6' off the ground and chipped bricks on a house. Bounced right back into the fairway with a manageable second shot into the green, so it all worked itself out.

Hit a house and the ball bounced off roof onto parked car in driveway.

Just depends on if there's a coonass with a 904 on the tee or not.

I'm wild. Can't even count the houses I've hit. I feel bad about it need to get my game reigned in but in spite of playing for 20+ years, I never practice.

YEARS ago...smoked the house on #12 at SM....took the walk of shame and apologized....he laughed and brought me into his sun room where he had a collection of 100 golf balls that had peppered his house...I offered to pay for the damage ...he declined said he had a some Home Improvement guy on retainer...said I was the first ever to stop by and offer to pay...

Nailed an 18 wheeler. Knocked it out the end of the driving range at McFarland when I was playing college golf.

Pretty sure I broke a window at Aaron Neville's house on 18 at Eastwood back in high school. At least we thought it was his since we knew he lived on 18 fairway. Was trying to clear the water on the right and sliced it hard.
I stopped and waited to see if anyone would come out, but I guess nobody was home. I was scared shitless, regardless of whose house it was.

Trees don't stop balls that are headed OB. They only catch the cheating but otherwise great shots. Duh.

I mean, at one time or another, everybody plays the fool...

About 20 years ago, I hit a wicked push on # 14 at Santa Maria. The ball literally embedded in the stucco chimney of one of the houses along the fairway. It stayed there for about 5 years. I would always laugh as I went by it.

Summer 1966 - Lafayette Muni Course has a street running the length of two fairways, I think on back 9.
I knocked one over the chain link fence and it landed in moving traffic just under a car and bounced at least 20 times quickly before the car escaped the ball
