Am I wrong here?

[maxiesmom]

I really dont want a fence. I like the wide open look. I just want the idiots to stay off my lawn! Maybe I'll just start going out and scooping up any ball that lands in my yard before they have a chance to come over for them.

Why don't you toss a few back to them? If they "accidentally" hit them in the head, then, too bad. You were trying to be helpful!

Maybe you could get them those shock collars and the invisible fencing so when they cross over they get zapped...lol

I like the idea of grabbing them B4 they do. Get a shirt with the suggestion of a saying I mentioned earlier and if they say anything just say, READ MY SHIRT. Wont be breaking any no signage rules that way...LOL

I suggest a sign that says "Keep your balls off of my lawn unless you want to lose them"

The shirts are too funny. Plus maybe you can put up a sign *in* your house that says something like "You're TOO close if you can read this." You could even put it up as part of your curtains heheheheh.

And I still like the motion-sensitive sprinklers or water-cannons that posters keep on mentioning ...

agnes!

I would have a FIT if somebody drove their golf cart on to my lawn--I don't blame you for being upset! You might need to talk to the golf club about THEIR liability for your property. Their signs may need to be a bit firmer (e.g., rather than telling players to stay off private property--the signs may need to say something like, "entering private property is criminal trespass. Do not attempt to retrieve balls on private property.")

We live on a pretty little creek that is the PRIVATE PROPERTY of the homeowners who border the creek (we each own halfway into the portion of the creek that borders our property).

I don't care if people want to walk in the creek and look for prehistoric shark's teeth (actually, I do care but I know I'll never be able to stop them all ) but I've had a few run-ins with people walking their dogs--not even in the creek bed, but in my yard!

To one particular person who couldn't get it through his head that he should not be walking his dog IN MY YARD (he actually said to me in a surly manner, "Well, what if I WANT to walk my dog here at 8 oclock in the morning?"), I replied, "Give me your address and I'll come over and walk my dog in your yard." This finally made enough of an impact to get him off my property. I have had to actually threaten a couple of people with calling the police.

For some reason, people who claim to be "neighbors" think they should have the freedom to traipse through my yard. We've even had parents with their kids & dogs who I've had to tell to stay away from my (fenced) dogs (yes, you are in my yard; no, my dogs are not friendly with other dogs; and no, they are not friendly to strangers trespassing in our yard).

We used to live on a golf course too. On a corner where there was a green and a tee. We never had anyone drive their cart in our yard (there was a small ditch at the property line) but they have walked into our yard looking for balls. If they hit a ball in our yard they were really bad.

They back of our lot was fairly thick with brush when we moved in and DH and I were thinning it out little by little. One day I was back there planting some flowers and weeding when all the sudden I saw this man standing by a tree not 10ft away (on our property). When he saw me he looked startled and said 'sorry, m'am' zipped up his pants and walked back to his cart. The course eventually put 'facilities' near this hole as it was the farthest from the clubhouse.
