The house was there before the golf course
“It is golf’s version of the 1994 lawsuit where a woman sued McDonald’s for the burn she suffered from a cup of coffee”
Pathetic, incompetent attempt at an analogy.
Aristotle: “Analogy is the habit of genius.”
The writer who came up the McDonald’s comparison is no genius.
FORE!
We have a large GA airport about 10-12 miles away that gets lots of people who complain about airport noise. It has been there, and busy, since WWII.
See my previous. You’re spot on.
Wow. Quite a shot.
We used to play ball with a little hard rubber ball. It went a mile when hit squarely.
You could blame everyone involved really. City should have seen this coming when they approved the course. Developer should have seen this coming when they were building the homes and worked something out with the course. If the course owners knew ahead of time where home lots were going to end up, they should have designed differently. The home buyers should have known their yard was going to be a target.
Stupid human tricks
headsup...
At that point they could have either bought the land or reset that tee.
They chose to do neither.
When it became a problem they could have reset the tee.
They once again did not chose to do that, instead they whined to their members who then, in a very predictable move, decided to target the house.
People who do not bother to read about the case seem to think it was an occasional thing. It wasn't.
Didn't need to be this way.
Be a good neighbor, fix your screw up everybody could have been happy except the lawyers.
Now that the tee is reset it is an occasional thing but no one is happy. Except the lawyers. Who got nice large fees.
1. Buy a house near what any reasonable human would identify as a hazard.
2. Sue.
Only golf I play now is on WGT.com...I’m happier, too...lol.
A company invented a straight hitting golf ball back in the 70’s by basically removing 6 rows of the dimples around the center of the ball. This caused equal pressure on either side to prevent it from hooking or slicing. The USGA banned the ball from golf.
The FAA spend millions on homeowners around airports. In the City of SEATAC near the SEATAC airport, the local school district built a new school. The Feds had to pay millions to retro fit it after several years because the noise was affecting the children.
