Actually, not true. You can’t get sued for hitting a house unless you can prove it was intentional

Damn Golf is hard enough, but they are trying to make me not hit driver on a par 5 or they’ll sue me?

Let’s see the layout of the hole

So the residents were there before the course was built?

Then shorten the hole, this is a course design issue. This is not a player issue.
Put a green in the middle of that fairway and make it a par 3, then make the next hole a dog leg that curves away from the residential neighbor.
Make the neighbors who complained pay for it since apparently they own the course.

Does my mini driver count?

Sue me then, I’m slicing away with impunity – no lawyer to witness or presume. Good luck in the courts. “Requested” and “may” are not enforced legal terms. This course is simply trying to uphold some sort of para legal insurance policy. Perhaps build a big net fence?? Likely the residents don’t like that idea at all.

I’m hitting driver and saying it was 3w if shit goes sideways

Little do they know, I can pull the heck out of my 3 Wood in a line drive right at their house and that is way worse than the occasional slice with the Driver…….

1W it is then

Do they really think I can’t hit their house without a driver? I’ll shank a 60 degree through a window 150 yards directly to my right.

Doesn’t matter what I hit, those houses are in the kill zone ¯_(ツ)_/¯

If I slice a driver, you may get another roof dimple. If I slice a 2i, you better hope your windows have some stopping power.

Zoom in on the sign 🤣
Lots of “sympathetic” responses recorded…

I played a course this week that had a sign that said “Golfers are liable for property damage” or something like that. I thought it was total bullshit. Houses were right in people’s slice or hook zones. I can’t believe that would hold up in court.

Your Honor, I complied with the sign, I hit a 3-wood, but I just suck at golf.

Put up a safty net

I’ll bet I can pull a 5 iron just as easily into those houses.

Some of my favorite graffiti on this sign…
“OB if you suck” “Ass vs. Tits” tally marks “Better call Saul” “Waggle dat shit” “Go fuck yourself Mickey Mouse”

Jokes on them. My driver is the only club I can hit. Here comes my 2 iron!

It’s a short par 5! Don’t even need driver.

Just because you put it on a sign, doesn’t make it the law

This is like idiots who live next to a concert venue making nosies complaints.
Imagine asking a surgeon to not use their scalpel…I see a Par 5, I use a driver, it’s just how this world works.

West sayville? Played there, used driver on that hole many times, never got grief for it
