The decision was correct. We all understand that residing across from a golf course may bring unfortunate circumstances on occasion. However, when the problem becomes excessive, something should be done. It would be different if the homeowners bought a home on the golf course, but this was not the case. These country club owners have avoided taking responsibility for damages for long enough. The responsibility first rests upon the golfer. However, even if you had witnessed the golfer cause damages to your property, they will deny it ninety nine out of a hundred times. Most of these golfers are just like the ignorant people that disagree with this decision. These kind of people rarely feel that they should be responsible for the harm they cause others. If they disagree, then maybe they ought to let their kids play in my front yard or walk down our street, Fairway Blvd in Chino Hills Ca. I just returned to my home thirty minutes ago after driving to the pro shop at the Los Seranos Country Club. Another dishonest and irresponsible golfer sliced a ball on to my property and shattered the windshield of our new car about thirty minutes ago. When I approched the two Korean golfers in cart #128 about the damages, they said, "Oh, so sorry, so sorry". I said, "So sorry won't pay for the $150.00 windshield you just shattered". They got in their golf cart and drove off. This was the eighth $150.00 windshield aside form dents all over three of my vehicles, garage door, stucco, front living room windows, ect... Fact is, material items can be replaced, but what happens when a child is struck in the head and killed while walking down this street. Maybe everyone who dissagrees with this decision should be the ones to explain to that child's parents that their kid is dead because the golf course owner was more concerned with the money in his wallet than he was with the safety of our children and community. It's about time they hold the golf couse responsible, cause they are. This week I will also be filing a Civil Suit against Jack Kramer's Los Seranos Country Club. - DR
