Legal: Golf ball hits car windshield, Who's Liable?

You are responsible for all shots, errant or otherwise. You break something and you are responsible for fixing it or paying to have it fixed.

Just because someone is driving by the course does mean they take responsibility for bad shots.

The course is not responsible because your supposed to keep you shots on the course.

The club most likely has signs posted that say the individual golfers are responsible if their shots hit a vehicle. If you're a member of the club, you'll find that in your member handbook. If you aren't a member, you may find a similar statement on the credit card slip, on your score card, or on a plaque on the carts.

Your homeowner's insurance may cover this. I sincerely doubt that your club membership gives you any kind of insurance against damages caused by your shots - I used to work in the membership and accounting office of a golf club, and liability insurance like that to cover our members was outrageously expensive. Someone mentioned that your handicap fee may include insurance. Again, at the club where I worked, the expense of the insurance far outweighed what our members were willing to pay for a handicap fee, so it was never an option.

If you're a member of the club, check with the head golf professional or the membership office to see if membership or handicap fees have any added insurance to cover damages. If not, contact your insurance agent and see what the costs and consequences would be if you turned in the claim on your insurance.

The easiest way to learn golf like a pro is by following "The Simple Golf Swing" program. It's primarily a 31 page eBook that teaches golfers how to make solid contact with the ball, how to avoid hitting fat, how to avoid slicing, how get more power, accuracy, and consistency in your swing. Consistency being the number 1 golf skill.

You not only get the eBook though, you also receive a ton of extra material including video, lessons on putting, driving, chipping, sand play etc. Here is their official site: http://www.golfswingguru.net/

Since you said you were playing a local course, I'm assuming it wasn't a private club, in which case you are responsible for fixing the windshield. Most private clubs have insurance included in the membership fees. Public courses rarely have insurance. It usually says somewhere on the scorecard that they are not responsible for damage done and that you play at your own risk. If it doesn't say anything like that on the scorecard, ask the club pro and see what he has to say. He could probably help you more than any of us here can.

The direction might have what's talked approximately as twist of destiny coverage. they are in charge in the event that they did no longer search out the golfer. even nevertheless you may decide to look on the scorecard. some will say that it relatively is a probability you're taking coming to the path. additionally touch the city. they have coverage whether it relatively is a Muni or city run direction. I broke a winshield and had to pay out of my very own pocket. i'm sorry that the participant became no longer as truthful, however the sport has this as a concern. i desire all works out nicely.

You. Why would the golf club be responsible for your hitting the ball on to the streets?

That actually made me laugh when I read it.

I have seen people hit cars and they always crack me up.

Well you are responsible for it.

If you dont have golf insuarance you could maybe ask someone else to try and cover it.

I dont pay for golf insuarance but I do have it with my handicap.

When you pay to be part of a club you get insurance for breakages, hole in ones etc along with your handicap.

You tend to be accountable for all shots, errant or otherwise. You break some thing and you tend to be accountable for fixing it or paying to have it fixed. Just simply because somebody is driving by the plan does imply they consider duty for bad shots. The plan is not accountable simply because your intended to shield you shots on the course.

well if your any good you would be liable but you cant controle the ball a lot of the time. its an inanimant object that if hit fly's thrue the air in wich direction , the ball was hit on .
