Safety Evaluation of Golf Ball Intrusions

For Homeowners And Property Owners

Errant golf balls can cause serious safety issues for homeowners and neighborhoods adjacent to golf courses and driving ranges. Danger to occupants and threat of serious injury occurs
in proximity to municipal courses, country clubs, and golf communities alike. Risks also apply to neighboring businesses with additional concern for general public safety.
Continuous property damage adversely affects insurance rates, while ongoing danger significantly lowers property value and denies the homeowners safe access to enjoy their property.

Most players do not appreciate the danger associated with hitting golf balls near homes. Some get caught up in the challenge of sport to improve their score by taking greater risks.
Meanwhile, no matter how good the player, every golfer occasionally hits errant shots.
Consequently, drives that once may have rolled up to fences are now flying into your pool or bombarding your deck.
Golf balls that once landed outside of the property line are now striking your roof or crashing through living room windows.

Other causes of errant golf ball danger result from course renovations after old trees and landscaping are removed to reduce water consumption and maintenance cost.
Additional factors arise when new houses are built around existing golf courses or new golf courses are built around existing homes.

What Is a Safety Evaluation

A Safety Evaluation helps homeowners understand how dangerous their situation really is.

The evaluation:

• Uses objective, forensic methods.

• Confirms where golf balls are coming from

• Assesses the overall risk of injury or damage

By analyzing the design and layout of the golf hole, the expert can explain why golf balls

are leaving the course and how the risk can be reduced.

Without this type of qualified analysis, disputes often remain unresolved.
