Aaaauuuugghhh! Reason number one to NOT live on the golf course!

[Pin Wizard]

A golf ball just came flying into my bedroom window! I got all the guy's info, and he jumped at paying to replace it. Still, this is NOT a good thing at 4:45!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! How he hit his ball so that it went in a window on the side of the house as opposed to a window facing the golf course, I'll never know. He even managed to get through the trees! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

Oh no!!! How awful. I hope he will be more careful from now on, not that it will help you any though.

My family lived on a golf course for a short time (reaaaaaally long time ago) and we'd get dings in the sideing all the time! The golf course paid all damages, though.

Just be glad it didn't bonk you in the head!

This happened to my grandparent's over Memorial Day weekend. Problem was, they live in Florida and they were visiting my family in Illinois. Thank goodness they have great neighbors who got all the info and arranged for the window to be boarded up until they got home. This is the second window they've had broken and they've only lived in that house for a year and a half!

my dad and uncle were playing golf once, and my uncle's ball went through a bathroom window and someone was using the bathroom when it happened! i don't remember what happened, cause it was a couple of years ago, but we still make fun of him for it!

Um, you did chose to live on a golf course, right?

We had three windows broken within the first year of living on our golf course. Then we screened in our patio. No broken windows since then (next 4 years). There are 3 windows not protected by the porch, and they are all protected by trees.

The best is finding golf balls in the bed of DH's pickup. Which is parked in the driveway in front of the house! Somehow those ones manage to fly over the house before landing in his truck!

goin2disney...I'm hoping he gives it up all together! He must be terrible if he managed this one.

Chicago...Yes, glad I wasn't bonked on the head. I was in that room less than 10 minutes before. And thanks for the tip about the golf course covering!! I'll remember that for any "problems" in the future. Considering this guy was so willing to pay without question, it isn't a problem. Although I have contacted the secretary for the Board of the development letting her know and asking if there's any info on what kind of windows these are, etc. I've only been living here 3 months.

Decker...Thanks for that, too! Will have to be chummy with the neighbors. And it did cross my mind...what if I were picking up my son at day care and it happened? I doubt I would find a note pinned to my door.

mickey's #1 fan...Frightening!! A couple weeks ago I had the pups out for a walk along the path. A golfer told me I should walk along the edge...where I picked up a tick...but that's another nightmare. He made sure to tell me that golf balls can kill! Gee...not even safe in my own home apparently!! Thank goodness I wasn't making the bed at the time. There were pieces of glass from one side of the room to the other, on the bed, under the edge of the bed, and on the window sill.

Doug... How he managed to hit the ball and get the side of the house...on the second floor...is beyond me. Obviously a terrible player! He was wayyyyyyyyyy off! Any way, I'm on the golf course by default. I relocated from another state and lived in a hotel for three weeks. Real estate's flying here, and this was the only available thing in my price range. Dang...I really miss being on the lake! Hey, no alligators though!

jws...Hmmmmmmmmmm. I should talk to the homeowner's assoc. about that! Flew over the house and landed in DH's truck? Well, this guy must have sent it flying over the trees and home. The window he hit does NOT face the golf course at all.
