What kind of person wants to be looking at a netting. Thats like getting crappy seats to a flames game.

Obviously im going to yell because the guy in question is a ##### and wont even come see if there is damages... that he caused. Even if there is no damage I have every right to embarass the guy infront of whoever he is golfing with and give my neighbours something to laugh at. Besides if hes not coming to see if there is damages then hes already decided not to pay damages.
"There are only a limited amount of places where people can golf"... You cant be serious... there is over 400 courses in Alberta... im sure you can go hack the ball around at any of them.
I doubt you could even name 3 courses that were built and then houses were built afterward. Im sure 95% of courses with houses along them were pre-planned communities.
You obviously take no responsibility for your actions and I for one hope I don't see you on the course, or driving on the road.

I understand you've had a traumatic experience growing up beside a golf course, but this is why people have insurance.
Accidents happen, much like a foul ball hitting a car windshield or a puck hitting a fan, accidents happen. The golf course is insured, the homeowner is insured, the golfer probably doesnt have 'accidental dog killing' insurance, but I'm sure thats mostly due to availability.
Realistically speaking, I'm surprised that incidents like these arent generally solved through a collaboration of the course's insurance and the homeowner's insurance. I would imagine that this would typically be included as part of the cost of the round.
It just makes far more sense to me for the homeowner to go to the course than to try and chase down a random dude on a golf course. And if he doesnt want to pay whats the homeowner going to do? Call the cops?
