Not that I'm supporting the rights of golfers to damage us and our gear,
but...

He didn't say he thought the current situation was OK at all - he's unhappy
with it too. He just said that at the time the place was built they thought
the odd ball escaping would just end up in the weeds along the fence. I'm
not sure this makes much sense as presumably there was a good chance of
other development occurring along side at some stage.

I don't expect they will for much longer. Danger is that they remove our
access or parking rather than get the rate paying golf range to make the
nets taller.

I agree, and you would have thought they would do it sooner rather than
later, especially given the cost of car repairs, and possibility of some
getting injured. I also suspect if it was a relatively easy job they would
have done it by now. Maybe the current poles aren't big enough to support
extra nets and they would have to start from scratch? It certainly is a pity
someone couldn't have better predicted this problem when the plans were
drawn up. The current situation is dangerous and costly, and isn't pleasing
anyone.
