A little old lady was walking down the street dragging two large plastic garbage bags behind her.
One of the bags was ripped and every once in awhile a $20 bill fell out onto the sidewalk.
Noticing this, a policeman stopped her, and said, "Ma'am, there are $20 bills falling out of that bag."
"Oh, really? Darn it!" said the little old lady. "I'd better go back and see if I can find them. Thanks for telling me, Officer."
"Well, now, not so fast," said the cop.
"Where did you get all that money? You didn't steal it, did you?"
"Oh, no, no", said the old lady.
"You see, my back yard is right next to a golf course. A lot of golfers come and pee through a knot hole in my fence, right into my flower garden. It used to really tick me off. Kills the flowers, you know. Then I thought, 'why not make the best of it?' So, now, I stand behind the fence by the knot hole, real quiet, with my hedge clippers. Every time some guy sticks his thing through my fence, I surprise him, grab hold of it and say, 'O.K., buddy! Give me $20 or off it comes!'
"Well, that seems only fair," said the cop, laughing.  "OK. Good luck! Oh, by the way, what's in the other bag?"
"Not everybody pays."

Hmmmm.....I live on a golf course!   Wink  
Reminds me of a few years ago. A couple roughly in their 60's stopped about 25' outside our pool screen. It was her ball that rested there, so while she staggered about getting her club and trying to hit it, her husband staggered out behind the cart and proceeded to relieve himself. I yelled at him, told him there were children watching, he said he didn't care and continued. Whereupon I reached for the hose we have coiled up back by the pool, turned it on full blast and proceeded to "water the fairway grass."  I got both him and his drunken wife, they seemed a bit irritated, but afterward I called the pro-shop and gave them the cart number and a description of the pair. I understand they were club members and had their memberships pulled. Grass out there looks pretty good too.  Evil

only thing I'd worry about is broken windows next to a golf course.

You should setup strobe lights with motion sensors on them that way if they get in your yard,  the lights go on and they might think twice?

Only have had one broken window over the years, proves others play as bad as I do 'cuz that window was on the side of the house not facing the course. There's large trees....oaks and palms, in the direction the players come from so gives a great deal of protection. We do get some hits on the pool screen and has punched some holes in it. I don't mind if they come in the yard a short distance to pick up a ball, but have had to confront some jerks that want to play the next shot from there. Some argue, most don't. If they argue I simply call the club house with the cart number and their day is over, the ranger will usually meet them at the next tee. A few times the ranger happened to come by at the right time, he lets them know in short order what their choices are. As a rule, it's not a problem.

With the building codes in Florida that windows need to be hurricane windows golf balls really aren't a problem anymore I would think. But I wouldn't it be kind of funny John for a small electric fence just in case.

There is one little shortcut road I use from time to time goes right alongside a local club driving range.  When I come riding round the bend and see the range is packed, I get down behind my shield for about 150 yards.  Better safe than sorry. 

I had a good friend who took one in the nuts off the tee at about 20 feet, and he was really never quite the same after that.  Of course it was a woman driver.  2funny crazy2

I walk in a city park that's next to a golf course.  I watch who is on the first tee so I'm ready to duck.

The city also has a 8 foot high fenced in area next to the course. For awhile, the utility guys made money selling golf balls that were smacked into the enclosure but now the gate is left open, nothing of value there (except golf balls)
