Mamaroneck, NY

You are a home buyer. You look for homes in one of the most prestigious communities in Westchester County and you find a home but there is just one problem. The house backs a golf course. You decide to buy the house anyway. You live there happily for several years and there are no problems with the golf course in your back yard. Then, out of the blue the golf course decides to cut down the row of trees between your house and the course. Now you have golf balls on your property. Your kids can't go out to play because they might be injured. Golfers roam your property looking for their golf balls. You suffer several thousand dollars in damages and your dog is injured, what to do.

According to the Journal News this particular homeowner decided to sue the golf course which is not just any golf course but Winged Foot which is one of the most prestigious golf courses in Westchester County. You now have a ruling closing the 6th hole of the East Course.

This issue is being watched on a national level. If you buy a house on a golf course there is some inherent risk that golf balls will venture onto your property. Three large trees have been planted and the club has paid to replace windows in the home.

This in a time when the economy is faltering, we are at war, there is unemployment and more to come seems to me more trees could be planted. The golf course wants to be a good neighbor? I guess they just don't know how
