Quick Glance: Responsibility for Hitting a House with a Golf Shot
  • Hitting a house with a golf shot requires a proper response, similar to a traffic accident hit-and-run situation.

  • While homeowners on golf courses are often seen as self-reliant, both law and etiquette dictate that a golfer is responsible for damages.

  • Ignoring responsibility after damaging a house can lead to legal consequences, emphasizing the importance of maintaining proper ethical behavior.

  • Although the homeowner's reaction may vary, it is always crucial to take ownership and handle the situation appropriately.
