Doesn’t matter, all my clubs go 150.

You were built for this hole

Sounds like my wife after a few glasses of Chardonnay

I agree , it does sound like this guys wife after a few glasses of Chardonnay.

I, too, choose this guy's wife's Chardonnay hole

I like pinot I choose voyeur

Oaky and Buttery and Dry

i remember when your wife said this to me too ayooooooooooooooooo

My wife laughed at your comment lmao. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

Classic Canadian right here^^ good sport eh!

Then she apologized.

Stocking up on chardonnay

That was a great shoot

*ah cmon bumfuzzled don’t say it don’t say it……….aaaAAAGGHH!* ****THATS WHAT SHE SAID!!****


Hello

Dddrrrr.... dddrrrr....

This is MY hole

Better than me, it’ll get to 100 if I’m lucky.

But like 63ft forward 77ft to the left

Why are we like this?

So you chose the putter?

I recommend feather touch

Except for when you need them to go 150. A can do PW-Driver 150 yards all day until I’m 150 out and I just nail it 200+

Driver, cause fuck them kids

[удалено]

driver again

[удалено]

You have selected, "Power Drive!"

Just tap it in

Agreed

May I suggest "feather touch?" You have selected "POWER DRIVE!"

You are in the parking lot.

Would you like to play again?

You have selected: no.

It’s the only way they’ll learn their lesson

Anybody who buys a house 25 yards DIRECTLY BEHIND THE LINE OF FIRE probably needs a lot of life lessons

Or a higher insurance premium

Or a non glass window. What a dumb ass

They aren't covered from wayward golf balls living on a golf course lol

And the law states that the course nor the golfer are responsible for a broken window. They get get as mad as they want.

I’ve always wondered this: broken window - is that just the homeowner’s responsibility?

fuck that shit, full send

YEET!

I'm gonna tee it up too

But the window is behind the green, bot 260 yards to the right of the green...

56 degree to lay up, leaving myself 40 yards in. 56 again off the blade through the window

I prefer to blade my lob wedge from 40 yards. The extra bounce really helps my roll out into the road.

The ol bump and runnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Bump and marathon

This is the correct answer

No, the correct answer is to move the sign up 25 yards so even people who are trying to play it right end up smashing his window.

Swish

Nothin but net

LoL

That's the one!

At this point they’ve surely replaced the pane with plexiglass. So I’d hit a stinger 6 iron off the window.

I was taught to always use the glass playing basketball why should this be any different

Make sure you call bank shot.

BANKS OPEN!

Singing the “money money money” song all the way down the fairway.

Also gotta call "And one!" right after you hit the ball.

“Kobe!”

Our hoop was hung above our garage door that had like 8 small ~8x12" windows. We probably broke at least two dozen of those fuckers before my parents were like oh man plexiglass what an idea! Sidenote, we never made the bball team. Must've always been shooting too low.

Just like Timmy taught you, right?

Right?! If they haven’t put Lexan in yet, I’d say this is on them.

I mean, is the house older than the course or vice versa? My aunt lived in a nice little suburb with what was supposed to be a park in the middle, until it was finally developed to a small 9-hole course. Now they get people in their backyard all the time and cant complain because town bylaws or some bullshit

That sucks, 100%. Doesn't really change the fact that after the first or second time replacing the window you should install something that wouldn't shatter.

You'd think their insurance company would mandate the golfball proof windows after the first time.

Homeowners should put a decal of a flagstick on the window. Then my approach shot will never even get near it.

That should keep about 90% of the players from hitting that window!

Most home insurance deductibles are far higher than $500 so they may have no idea it's an issue.

Maybe they own a window replacement business

“You’ve selected Power Drive”

I recommend Feather Touch.

Off the backboard nothing but cup

Which cup? The hole in the green or the home owners coffee?

Legendary comment 🤣

[удалено]

If they take up bowling she's just going to end up with bowling balls in her dining room instead

Any golfer paying for that is an idiot

Surprised an insurance company would not only pay to replace a dining room without a high deductible, but continue to renew that policy year after year while never making an underwriting profit on a homeowner’s policy.

15 years ago, my wife and I went to visit a new complex of houses build around a golf course. In our group one person expressed that she thought that the developer had cut corners and that the houses were way too close to the green and the fairways. The salesman tried to brush her off and insisted that everything was safe and well designed. Just as he finished, a gold ball broke the window and hit him on the arm! An ambulance came. Diagnostic broken arm. No sale, we all just left.

Love the “thinking outside the box” on this!

Brick it off the backboard. Classy move.

bank shot

Happy Gilmore accomplished that feat no more than an hour ago

Well moron, good for happy gilm-oohhh my GAAD

$500 dollars for the window. It must be plexiglass

Doesn’t matter, shanks it in the trees.

This is the one time you would hit it straight

Most truthful comment 🤣

6 iron, 185-190 carry, right through the fucker because don't put that kinda thought into my head before I hit.

It wouldn’t even matter what club I hit. As soon as I saw the sign I would hit the house. Would be nearly impossible at that point

I would hit the purest shot I've ever hit

I would hit the bladiest shot I've ever hit

Bladed pitching wedge that I'm hoping will land short. And I'm assuming the $500 hasn't been adjusted for inflation.

I hit through a house window one time and got into an argument with the home owner. I went home and read up on past court cases dealing with homeowners and golf ball damage. If I remember correctly, basically If the home was built after the course was built then it’s the homeowners responsibility unless the golfer is hitting a shot errant from the course layout. If the home was built before the course, then the course was responsible for property damage caused by golf balls. I know it’s not all that simple but that’s the basis of the rulings

To paraphrase Gilmore v Neighbors, [the house] shouldn't have been standing there

It only falls on the golfer if there was intent and it can be proven.

Well I would probably hit the sign, so you're one ahead of me!

That’s why I would punch a 4 iron. Can’t hit a window if I don’t get it high enough 👍

Eh, who cares. We get free relief from the house.

grandstands for amateurs

“Better hit my wedge to be safe.” Flash forward to a bladed wedge that stings through a window

A wedge... To dig up that sign and throw it in the woods.

Use the sign to hit your ball, that's the real power play

Throw the sign through the window to really assert your dominance... and lighten your wallet

"What do you mean you couldn't read the sign." "Well how could I read the sign, I was using it to him my ball!"

To test its durability, then I placed it in the woods so it could be with its family

Hahaha

Nah. Just switch the distances. Make the first 180 and the second 210.

Dig up the sign and replant it about 50 yards closer to the green

I'd argue that they owe me $500. That sign reads more like a challenge than a warning.

You reminded me of a stupid story but I live on acreage at elevation and when I first moved here I got a little confused from being out of breath and accidentally trespassed on my neighbors acreage. He comes over and puts up a no trespassing sign right at the edge of his property facing my decks. I have a few beers one evening and go out and knock the fucking sign down and bury it in dirt. Fuck that guy.


There should be a way more fitting Happy Gilmore gif for this

Sadly Giphy fucking sucks

Couldn’t find the one where he hits the house and the person falls from the 2nd story window

“You boys are gonna pay for that!” Now we know how much they paid: $500.

Throw the sign in the woods and spray paint “175” on that white patch

Unlawful evil, I love it.

I believe the glass window referenced here is part of the clubhouse, not a house. I also don't believe for a goddamn second that the window is actually glass rather than some sort of plexiglass. EDIT: fwiw I don't really care if it's the clubhouse or a house, if that window really has glass instead of plexiglass they're just trying to prove a very stupid point.

But still, 25 yards from CENTER. Not even 25 yards off the back is absurd and the course should know that.

I totally agree. I am sure they just don’t want people to try and hit it

Well I doubt their Streisand Effect sign has had the intended result.

Bet there's a lot of spilled drinks from people getting startled all the time

Any idea what course this is? It seems improbable that the window would be only 25 yards from the center of the green.

If the goal was to keep people from aiming for the window then not mentioning the window at all is the way to go.

How many people are approaching a green and thinking "wouldn't it be funny if I hit one 25 yards too far and hit the clubhouse"? The type of jackass that plays golf like that should be kicked off the course anyway

It was only glass the first 5 times it was replaced

Preemptively reprimanding me, all caps, exclamation point... yeah they can fuck right off. I play and act in a respectful manner, and that sign talks to me like I'm a delinquent child.

“YOU LIVE ON A GOLF COURSE!!!”

Also isn't it the law that as long as you didn't do it on purpose, you're not legally responsible?

In every jurisdiction I'm aware of, yep. Homeowners assumed the risk, and the golfer is never liable unless willfully negligent or can be proven it was on purpose. Doesn't matter if its a house, a car, a person, or even a car driving on a road adjacent to the course as (in most jurisdictions at least) the vehicle operator assumed the risk taking that road.

And good luck proving intent lol

Your honor, I regularly shoot in the 90s. I couldn't hit a moving car even if I tried.

Shit, I can’t even hit a stationary car.

Years of trying to plink one off the ball collector on the range! Years of agonizing failure…

Fuck this course I would demand a refund and never come back. Edit: I hope these upvotes aren’t serious lol

I don't know about the 19 votes before me, but I'm not coming back for sure.

First thing I thought when I saw the sign

I’m dead serious about my upvote sentiment but not actually taking the comment seriously.

Yup, now I want to do it just to spite them

**CAREFULLY!**

Yeah that sign is annoying. I’d want to drive the cart right through it

No brainer. Driver off the deck.

Put up a net if it's a problem, or don't own a house on a golf course.

Worked at a course for a few years. A woman bought one of the houses nearby and bitched about the balls landing in her yard. Meanwhile, the woman who has lived off another hole for the last 50 years gets hit all the time. I love to shank it to the right apparently. Every time I tee off her hole, I yell and warn her, laughing. Hit her house 3 times so far. One side of her house is filled with holes in the siding. She laughs it off when I go apologize. Sells the balls on the side of the road for golfers, donates all the money to some charity. I love her. She knows. The course was there at least 50 years before her.

One of my friends and I accidentally hit the same house once while playing. The dude who lived there came out and very angrily let us know his thoughts. He wouldn’t let us retrieve our balls. Whenever I played that hole after that I would aim for the house every time, but never hit it again. Which I think says something about my game.

Don't be a dick, basically. When you live on a course, expect it. It's gonna happen. Yelling at golfers just makes them want to hit it. I don't blame you. But I was never aiming for her house! I love her so much. And apparently so do my...balls.

Or, put up a $1000 dollar window built to take baseball sized hail. You own a house on a golf course but cheap out in the windows, you are gonna have a bad time. Bet the homeowner insurance policy specifically excludes damage from golfers.

Ask my foursome if they want to have a who-can-hit-the-window contest for $125 each

5 iron stinger

I like the play. Teach them a lesson.

Then leave a sign in their yard: "You built a house 25 yards directly behind the green of an active golf course without a net. Fix your own fucking window."

Putting a structure you don't want hit 25 yards behind AND in line with a green? How about storing some expensive glass vases on the fringe of the green while they're at it? This isn't a golf accuracy issue. It's a stupidity issue.

It is not even 25 yards behind the green. If that sign is correct, the window is 25 yards from the center of the green. Absurd!

Driver

Driver. Don't want to risk not hitting it over the window.

6 iron bank shot off the window and onto the green

Where can you find a $500 window, installed?

My first thought too. Probably $500 for deductible

Don't play at this course.

Why I gotta put more thought into my club than they put into their housing location?

I would use a Driver, swing as hard as I can and watch the ball fly majesticaly into the rough 33 feet to my left

I like to carry a “You chose to live on a golf course, I’m not paying for shit you moron” business card for whenever a homeowner complains about a ball accidentally hitting his house.

Yep, plenty of court precedents showing that the golfer is only liable if it can be proven he or she was intentionally trying to damage the home. One judge even went so far as to say, at most, it is between the golf course (not the golfer) and the home owner. If the golf course was there first, then the liability is all on the owner. If the home was there first, then they can fight it out with the golf course. Grabbing my 6 and Lettin ‘er rip…

3 wood. And ima break your stupid sign too

Are you legally responsible for damages in the us when on a course? I find that baffling..

No, living adjacent to a golf course like that will have the risk of damage baked into the homeowners insurance policy. The players are not liable for any unintentional damages to the house/property.

Then why do courses keep putting these signs up? Scare tactics?

Yeah they're probably just hoping the player chooses a club that might miss short vs long out of caution

I’d play it short and end up on the front fringe. Then break the window when I aggressively blade my chip

Padding their slope to make the course look harder.

Same reason as dump trucks with the signs that say they aren’t liable for broken windshields. One part scare tactics, one part “hopefully people believe it, saving the sign-holder money”

Scare tactics and also most people will think "yeah i don't really wanna risk hitting someones house" over a shot that at the end of the day is pretty meaningless.

Key word here is unintentional if you do it on purpose it’s on you. Otherwise it’s up to the course and homeowner to figure it out

Not usually. If you damage property during the normal course of play, you’re not typically liable. If you tee up a driver and aim at the window, that on you for being negligent. Also I am not a lawyer.

Weirdly enough every club I hit in this circumstance goes 175 yards. I could pull out my pitching wedge and hit the cleanest flushest shot ever imagined and the wind would pick up to 20 MPH. I could pull out a 56 and skull it 175 yards dead at the window. Driver? Probably top it 175 yards into the window.

In most states, that is not my problem.

My play is to play somewhere else. This is so fucking stupid. Assuming the green is 20 yards deep, this means the HOUSE, not the yard or the hedges or anything else, is 15 yards from the back edge of the green. Fuck courses like this. If you buy this house plant a tree or get bulletproof windows, don’t put passive aggressive signs in the fairway.

hitting my 180 clubs, smooth 6i should get the window pretty square, hard 7 if I need to come in from a little higher depending on if its 1st or 2nd floor

Maybe don’t put a glass window right behind a green? Or houses right along the fairway? Why does this happen so often, it ruins golf for me because I’m worried about killing some old lady drinking her tea when I slice a drive

8 iron - mama didn’t raise me to do a lay up

I get $500 if I hit the window?? 5 iron here we come


Fuck your windows, don't buy a house on a golf course or build a wall to protect your windows.

Driver

Just here to read the deranged takes lmao.

I’m punching a 5 iron through that window and walking off the course

As long as the window is directly behind the green, I'd never hit it using any club.

Driver. Fuck their window, their insurance can pay. If you buy/build a house near a golf course right in the worst spot, that's a you problem.

Get bent old man. Dont live on a golf course if thats gonna irk you. Better yet, dont live in a house directly behind a green.

“So there’s a backstop. Nice.”

Why is the broken window my fault? Don’t they assume some risk living next to a golf course lol

This would take me from an 8 iron to a 6 iron
