What recourse do you have when golfers break your windows?
Q. I'm the president of my neighborhood condo association and we are located across the street from a public golf course. A few residents with units facing the the golf course have complained that their windows have been broken by golfers at the course.

A. Not sure what you can do. I've had friends who drove by golf courses and had their windshields broken. When one complained, they said she had to show them the ball to prove the ball broke her windshield. I had another friend bring the ball in, and they said they didn't know which customer hit the ball. I also drove around with a real estate agent once. She said it's a bad idea to live close to a golf course if you have young children. They can get injured playing outdoors. Without videotape showing a golfer hitting a ball that breaks a window, I don't think you have much legal leverage. Helping them pay for netting might be your best bet.

For GOOD GOLFERS only; What is the major difference in your set when you switch to play different courses .?
Q. I have a basic set makeup, but depending on which course I'm playing I change a few clubs to fit the situations of play that day. Is this normal for advanced golfers.

A. I do have a basic rotation that depends on the course, such as 3 iron vs hybrid, or leaving both of them out to carry an extra wedge. All of that depends upon the length and type of shots I expect to face. In fact there are times I may leave out a club like 6 or 7 iron, if I don't think I will use that particular club in favor of extra clubs at the top or bottom of the set. The other change I may make is with my 60 degree wedge, where I will carry either my low bounce or higher bounce model, depending upon the turf conditions, thickness of grass around the greens and firmness of the bunkers.

A. go to home depot, ace hardware, any place like that will have them. You could also use another club, but then you'd have to trust that you won't hit it with the one you're swinging.
