The government puts up barricades, interchanges, street lights, traffic signals. They do studies every year about where the most dangerous intersections are and make changes if they can. Sounds to me like they are trying to minimize the risk, something golf courses really don't do very often.
Clearly you don't agree with my position, which is fine. There is no need to get all uppity about it...You might not agree with it but people can have different opinions than you.
While you say people need to take responsibility for their actions I was didn't disagree, I simply was saying the golfer wasn't the only person responsible. The course needs to take precautions since they allow golfers of any skill level to play there. People who choose to buy a house there know there is the potential for a ball hitting their house can make adjustments to their property (netting or something) if they wish, but if they don't then they have to know there is the chance their house will get nailed. The golfer obviously has some liability since they hit the ball, doesn't matter if they are bad or just duffed the shot.
