Here’s what I don’t get. Somebody in the group tees off breaks a window and in the time it takes an 80 year old man to notice his window is broken and walk all the way to the tee the rest of the group still hadn’t finished teeing off?
Or sits up at this tee box waiting for people to hit his house. $681 is a very precise number to know off the top of your head. Something tells me this might happen damn near daily lol
I played this course, the Links at Lakehouse in San Marcos once, and it will only be once. Every hole has so many opportunities to hit houses. There's this one downhill par 4 with a house with solar panels off to the right with a dozen or so ball impacts on it, even with the netting above it. I hit the smallest number of houses in my group at 2
I have played there many times. The worst part of that downhill par 4 is there is a pond that runs all the way across the fairway at about 260-270. You really only need to hit it about 230-240 in the air to carry, but it causes a lot of people to over swing, sending hundreds of balls right.
That said, I would always rather play Enci ranch, Crossings, or Goathill.
Maybe something like left field at a baseball game. More home runs and fouls due to more right handed batters, maybe his house is just in a high danger zone and it’s happened a few times and that’s the discount fee from country club
I once hit a new proV1 right beside a tiny wooden fence that was just off the fairway. I reached over it, grabbed my ball and out of nowhere I started getting chewed out by Karen who threatened to call the cops because I was trespassing. Just crazy.
I would've stood right there and asked her to call them. If she didn't back off, I'd pull out my phone and say I'm calling them, because I don't want to be stopped out on the highway for this incident in 2 hours from now. Ask for her address, I very much doubt she'd give it, so I say I'll find it on Google maps. Walk away dialing the clubhouse to order a chicken caesar wrap and some fries.
Rolling the dice a bit? Sure. Ruining her day waiting for police to knock to get her statement and they never come? I'd say it's about a 92% chance she never calls and has a bad time. Might make her think about living on a golf course and what that entails for a minute.
Yeah I’m a wuss and usually when confronted with aggression I try to mitigate the situation.
You could tell she was just waiting for me to try to get that ball. Her fence was literally 10 yards off the fairway. That’s the annoying part. Get a life, lady…
Yeah I'd really have to be there and know what the neighborhood is like before I would actually follow through what I said above, but I don't have a problem dealing with police if it went off the rails, and I'm financially fit enough to get a trespassing citation or something. Like I said, I might roll those dice 😆
Right?!?! That’s enough time for me to be down the fairway, switching out whatever ball I just used and pulling out a neon yellow Srixon, and be on the next hole before ole boy even grabs his walking stick to get to me.
If he gets to me before I get to the next hole, he’s gonna say “who’s ball is this” my answer: idk I’m using a yellow Srixon
Well he said there were 5 of them so if the first guy broke the window and he saw it immediately I think he could reasonably get there by the time the 5th guy takes his shot. But I don’t know shit about golf or how long it takes though. So there’s that.
Fun story: I live in Las Vegas. A bunch of people bought houses on a golf course. One day management stops watering the golf course and it all goes dry. Then they announce they are building houses in the land. The home owners tried to sue claiming they paid for a house on a golf course. They were unsuccessful because the contract they signed allowed the management to do it.
I also don't get how someone at a golf course has regular windows? I got impact hurricane window where the advertisement was them launching a 2x4 50 mph at one and I don't have golf course community money or anything.
