Um, those saying it is the homeowner's fault that the golfer broke their window have no idea how the law works. Ask your golf course supervisor, you break the window then you are legally at fault for paying for it. So what is the owner has insurance, if someone breaks it and takes off then they have to pay for the insurance premium increase everytime someone hots their house. For example you are playing baseball with your kid in your backyard and they hit it over the fence and break the neighbor's window, it's your fault you broke it, just because they happen to live next to you does not mean you are exempt for paying for your bad hitting.
Of course, if you're like one of my golf buddies and hit into the houses and hear a big BOOM sound when it hits the roof....then you walk away and blame the group behind you.

I think the fess up advice would be the universal correct answer BUT I believe there are some states, Hawaii comes to mind, where by law the owner of the house on a golf course accepts all breakage liability. If that is the case where you play I would say oops and play on.

Take a 1 stroke penalty and a drop near the place where there ball went out of bounds. And play on like nothing happened. It the risk you take when you buy a house on a golf course.

Since i find the thought of u bringing a laptop to a golf course and typing this question right after the incident, i would say the answer is irrelevant at this point, since u've already done what you have done after breaking the window.

Well, the honest truth of the situation is this.
It is always best to inform the owner that you broke the window. Although it is really up to you as to how you want to handle paying for it. You are really not obligated to pay for the window as, by rights, the owner assumed the risk and possability of this sort of thing happening when they purchased the property. The notice at the clubhouse is there to inform you that the club owners are not going to pay for any damage you cause, and that's it.
I, myself would, out of good conscience pay for the window.

Don't sweat it. The folks that live on golf courses are required to carry insurance to cover it. These people understand that these things will happen, and if they don't they shouldn't be living on a golf course.

If it were me, I would tell the owners of the window, only because it is morally right to do. For all you know they blamed it on some poor little kid. So ya...just my thought...and give up on golf cuz you could possibly hit someone next time...

How can you break a widow? Did she mind? Was she a golf widow?

these people chose to live on a golf course, unlike most of these people i think you just play it out. They know the risk when they move there. Get acrylic windows!!!!!!!
