    Default Get a load of these idiots.

    First, they spend $1,000,000 on a house just meters from the fairway of a golfcourse, then they sue the course because golf balls are landing on their property. Big surprise.

    Then, some idiot judge finds that this is the golf course's problem, not the homeowners', and gives the golf course (that has been there since 1923, long before this house was built) just two weeks to fix the problem, as well as awarding the idiot homeowners $14,000 for their trouble.

    Now the homeowners are taking further legal action to stop the course from building a fence, the building of which is the direct consequence of the legal action the homeowners initiated in the first place.

    Sometimes I really want to smack people with a "You're a moron" stick...

    I mean COME ON! The street you bought your house on is called "Fairway Road" for Chrissake! What did you think living there would be like?

    I have to agree, that is madness and people should not be able to due over things self made like that.

    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    They probably got their prices down on the homes a few grand complaining about how close it was.

    I hope that they didn't breed.

    Havn't they figured out by that age cause and effect?
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    Why did the golf course accept them building a house in the first place ?? The golf course should have sued first..... That would be the American way....

    Wouldn't that make them more likely to reproduce?

    Can't say I have any sympathy for the house-owners. I grew up next to a golf course, and it's not a big deal. If they didn't take the possibility of golf balls hitting their house when they moved in, it's really their fault. Caveat emptor. A giant fence is what they deserve for being short-sighted and whiny. Personally, I'd be willing to clean up after the odd golf ball in exchange for a nice view.
