Imagine you're sitting in your living room and wham, a ball comes through the window.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I'm not really sure what's worse. Designing a golf course with houses that close to a tee box or actually buying the house in the first place.

There are way too many golf courses with no houses to have to resort to playing those places.

In the homeowners defense, normally a house on a tee box is a fairly safe location. 

Obviously she is an avid player, you can tell from the persimmon fairway wood she is hitting.

Yes, the house, by odds, shouldn't have been hit, but when you purchase on a golf course you're going to get these problems. I witnessed a somewhat similar situation some years back a guy pull hooked one off the first tee, with numerous people were watched as they waited for their tee time, crash through a window. Everybody watching went silent in anticipation of where the ball would impact, and it went right through a back yard window with a crash you could hear from what it seemed a mile away. It had to give the poor guy the most humiliating feeling.

I always wonder if people who purchase homes on a golf course are golfers themselves.  If you play the game you know about errant shots (talkin' to you Vinsk) so why would you ever buy a house in reach of an errant shot?!  Though I have friend with a house at Sahalee... 50 yards behind a green on a par 4.  He's never been hit.  Otherwise you're living in an arcade game.

Perhaps, but even just looking down the left side of that video bugs me. That fence is what? 12 feet off the fairway. Guess it sort of looks like a par-3, but that's definitely asking for it.

Trees are overrated. I hate water hazards, but houses on or alongside golf courses are the worst ever.

I owned a house on a golf course for several years.  Being a golfer I knew the possibility.  But it was located well behind and right of the 4th green and well behind and left of the fifth tee box (tips).

I can answer a couple of questions from above posts.  Yes I play and knew it was possible to lose a window or tile off the roof.  But the location was such that didn't ever happen, losing a window, and maybe I found a half dozen balls a year in my back yard.  Also to purchase the house I was required to sign a paper that I was aware of the possibility of errant shots and waive liability of the course for that event.  This, according to my lawyer buddy, does not relieve the course or golfer from gross negligence.   Insurance for the home was higher than one located across the street and not adjacent to the course. 

Well I enjoyed the view and was amazed at how many players played the tips that clearly didn't belong there.  Been awhile but thing the slope on this course from the tips was over 130.

Tough one.

I'm on the 14th floor and at least 10km/6miles from the nearest golf course.

      Playing With Irons

      By iacas ·

      Playing irons only may lead to some short-term gains, but you'll want to at least practice with the driver if you ultimately have some decently good goals.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      He plays from 68.3 / 124.  A combo tee setup of normal mens and seniors.   I play from 69.7/127.   He left after taking a triple on 14 and then leaving.  Which plays to what I think his plan is,   He doesn’t stroke on 14 but would have to take bogey for non completed holes on the way in.   Maybe that’s giving him too much credit, but he found a way to add 4 shots to his score over three holes so….     I looked up his last 20 rounds in GHIN and he has a lot of rounds at easier courses (rating and slope) that are higher than his normal rounds at home.   Since I mostly have his front nine score during the match (36) to go on, he has three nine hole scores at our course posted that are 41-43. I wrote the whole thing up to the head of our golf association who runs all the tournaments.  Our pro is not involved officially in the tournaments because the golf associations are separate from the club.   He’s pretty well known for this, however I was pretty shocked at how well he played carrying a 15.   I think eventually they will do something, a lot of people have complained.  The golf association threw someone out a couple of years ago and it was a three month situation where the guy retaliated.  They probably are hesitant to go thru anything like that again.  That is a rather crazy story I might post about later.
