there are tons of golf courses near freeways so golfers can see them...ive hit a few over fences but luckily no cars were hit to my knowledge.
golf course rules are if anyone caught intentionally hitting over a fence will be punish by the law. i hope you have insurance This post has been edited by LewFX: Apr 24, 2006 - 7:07 PM --------------------  |

I did that at the range before. If your by the end of the range by the road, they ask you how experienced you are and if you hook or slice. I didn't want to wait for a middle lane to open, so I said, yeah, i'm really good and never slice the ball. Yep, the first one i hit, wam, over the fence and the ball bounces all the way down the road. Didnt hit no cars tho.

Try living on a golf course. My driveway is 40 yards behind the green on hole 8. Good thing I park the SUV's closest to the top of the driveway and hide the mr2 behind them.

I already talked to them, they say they are not liable.
The guy who hit the ball is. I'm sure he's ready to admit fault anytime now.  I e-mailed a local newsstation this morning, mabe they can get some results. I can't do anything about my car but maybe I can keep it from happening to someone else. -------------------- JDM guy made me do it.

there is a driving range by my house, and at the end of the range (only like 175 yards away) there is a police station, people are ALWAYS launching balls over the fence and hitting cop cars, lol there is a fence up but its not hard to hit it over it.
