Yet people still manage to put a ball in the yard 3 times a week. Damage can be more than just a broken window. It can knock off stucko, destroy pots, dent siding. Just because you didnt hear a crash doesnt mean you didnt cause damage. Golf courses fill that "Green Space" that all people desire and almost all courses are built with the community design around them. Saying its there fault for living there is ######ed, I didnt think you fell in that category.
3 worst golf ball incidents
1. Mom hit in the kneecap while gardening, guy didnt say four.
2. Dog next door got hit and had to be put down.
3. Someone hooked a ball over the houses hitting my car on the street.
If your so bad at golfing that 13 year old kids have better ball control then you maybe you should golf in the country where u wont be held responsible for damage. Also maybe you should get lessons.. People that go skiing for the first time need lessons, maybe you need Golf Lessons.

There are others, but I chose the first ten I saw. If you are so bad at typing, maybe you should take typing and/or English lessons. Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones or golf balls.
In all seriousness, if a house is 250 yards away, I would think it would have to be an accident that it was hit there. Have you talked with the golf course in a calm and reasonable manner about putting up netting? I don't know where you live or what course you're at, but I'm guessing if you and other neighbours petitioned the course for netting and showed how the course's business was harming your living, they might listen and help you out. If you are just going to yell from your deck when you do get hit, you likely won't have much success.
Golfers don't want to hit your house. They want to hit the fairway. Even the best professionals don't hit the ball perfectly every time. If you are that concerned with golf balls hitting your house, there is a really easy solution to it. There are only a limited amount of places where people can golf, and I'm going to guess the vast majority of courses were there before the houses were. The houses are built beside the course and then the homeowners complain that the golfers are ruining their living? There are many places you could have built your house or moved to.
