(hope I'm posting int he correct section) hmmm, I'd have more bullets in me than 2pac if I was shot ever time I hit a errant shot.

here's the link http://lasvegas.cbslocal.com/2012/09/07/police-nevada-man-shot-golfer-after-ball-hit-home/

RENO, Nev. (AP) — A Nevada man has been arrested on suspicion of shooting and injuring a golfer after an errant ball broke a window at his home.

Authorities say 53-year-old Jeff Fleming exited his home along a Reno golf course with a shotgun after a ball hit the home late Thursday afternoon.

Fleming is accused of firing at a golfing twosome at the 16th hole, striking one of them. The golfer was released after treatment at a local hospital for minor injuries.

Police say the Lakeridge Golf Course had to be evacuated after the shooting, and the suspect drove to a local attorney’s office, where he surrendered without incident.

Fleming was booked at the Washoe County jail on charges of battery and assault with a deadly weapon. He was released after posting bail.

Yup. Maybe he just bought the house and thought he had a huge grassy/sandy backyard . In all seriousness, I have to wonder who was the guy that pissed him off so bad it made him say to himself "The next S.O.B to hit my house is going to get shot".

Completely crazy. If you live on/near a golf course, you know what to expect - period. Suck it up, boost your insurance, or move.

    • We had a member of our senior club who developed a mental block on pulling the trigger. I played with him to see what the membership was talking about. I timed him a few times when he would get over the ball. 45 seconds. He knew he had a mental block and would chide himself, “Just hit it!” Once on the green he was okay and chipping was a bit better. It was painful to watch him struggle. Our “bandaid” was to put him in the last tournament  tee time with two understanding players. We should have suggested to him to take a break from our tournaments. I agree with the idea that when a player realizes they have a problem, the answer is to go fix it and not return until they are able to play at an acceptable pace.
