I commend Ms.Amarlal and her neighbour's
efforts and the three panel judges of the Appeals court for the relief. The grandfathered "nuisance claims" as claimed by the golf course ownners is not justified due to fact that they harbours people to play professional game who most of the time are arrogant and careless as well. I live on the Golf Course and in a similiar situation as Ms. Amarlal. I was and continue to be a victum of trespass by golf balls and golfers as well. I took the Willowdale Country Club in the St Charles Parish small calim court and the legal system did not help my cause. In fact the judge did consider my pleas. Willowdale Country Club is one of the low end club of the Luling, LA and harbours golfers who not only lacks game ethics but their attitude is always rude. They think and profess intent issue. One of them who damaged the property recently told me that he was a lawyer and although he was a learner I have to prove that his intent was to damage my property. The other one adivised me to calim damage from my insurance. Similarly, when I called Willowdale Country club, They put forth inharent risk theory that I assumed (the risk of golf balls hitting the proprty) when I acquire the property.
