... can't sue for injuries caused by another player's mere carelessness or negligence

Or in most cases, ineptitude.

Maybe golfers should yell “heads up!” before teeing off instead of fore.

Sandy: I want you to kill every gopher on the golf course!

Carl Spackler: Correct me if I’m wrong Sandy, but if I kill all the golfers, they’re gonna lock me up and throw away the key...

Sandy: Not golfers, you great fool! Gophers! The *little* *brown*, *furry* *rodents* -!

Carl Spackler: We can do that; we don’t even have to have a reason. All right, let’s do the same thing, but with gophers.

Back in the 60’s an errant tee shot took out my dad’s front windshield as he was driving down the road. The golfer ran out to the road, apologized and paid for a replacement.

But the justices also said a golfer who knows that someone is in the danger zone but doesn't look down the fairway before teeing up might be reckless, not merely negligent, and thus subject to a damage suit by the victim.

AMEN!

When this happens to me I tend to go Ape S$it on that person, I take it as a direct threat to my person.I lose my cool hardly ever, It's like a survival instinct I guess,LOL!

“It’s not my fault.”

The lousy golfers defense.

I love it!

What is the difference between a lousy golfer and a lousy skydiver?

Answer: A lousy golfer goes WHAP! “Oh crap!”. A lousy skydiver goes “Oh crap!” WHAP! ...

I love the ones that don’t yell that before they just play through. I have met up with some really rude ones. I always let people play through; but this one guy really made me mad. So I challenged him to a game and mopped the floor with him and I am not even good.

I want the Course Management to be responsible for all broken windows. Even on a private course golfers act like vandals and drive off after hearing glass break. Thousands of dollars worth of windows being repaired should not come out of homeowners insurance when the cause is a little round ball sitting on the ground and the culprit makes his escape in a battery powered cart.

One of the best tools on the course is the word, “fore”

Lawyers on both sides found something to applaud.

Of course. Just enough room for interpretation on all sides to keep lawyers and judges employed. What a system.
