Subject: RE: Personal experience
However, how can you fantasize about how wonderful the closing ninth hole is when so many tee shots find their way out of bounds! Doesn't sound so wonderful to me if you play by the rules and go back to the tee (taking your stroke and distance penaly and tee up # 3! And if you're out of bounds again? Go back and tee up #5?
Assuming of course that all honorable golfers are going to play by the rules and keep an accurate score!
But back to the point, I believe that any adjacent property owner, in this age of the golf channel, game improvement clubs, endless opportunities for lessons and clinics, has a right to expect that you, as a responsible golfer, will work very hard at your game, and be able to keep your ball in the confines of the golf course!
If on the other hand, you believe that going on the course is your chance to irresponsibly slam the ball as hard and as far as you can, ith no idea where it may land, then this is not a case of an occasional errant ball, which we can understand, but a case of wanton irresponsible trespass. (as the judge so easily found)
So let's all be for "Responsible Golf"! Learn to keep you ball in the fairway, and you'll score an awful lot better! Honestly!
