Played a few months ago with a guy who shanked a driver 45 degrees dead right and about waist high into a backyard that hit a very large planter pot and shattered the thing, it just exploded when the ball hit it. Needless to say the woman who lived there came screaming out of the house and the poor guy just got hammered, he gave her a business card and you would have thought he had just killed someone with that shot instead of breaking a pot. You take your chances sometimes getting matched up with strangers in a round and to be honest this guy acted kind of like he had been though this before, he took it pretty well. I wanted to just hide somewhere, it was ridiculous.

I have dealt with this type of home owner before on my local course as it has several homes on tight fairways. Anytime someone says anything about a person hitting their house I immediately stop them in mid sentence and remind them they are the idiots who built a house where people would be hitting hard golf balls at high rates of speed. It's kind of like a homeless person fussing over cars going over the overpass at night keeping them up. Get over it or move is what I would have told her.
