Car hit in car park

Interesting one. I was driving yesterday from Tunbridge Wells to East Grinstead and the road runs past Sweetwoods Golf Club, where one of the greens is maybe 10 yards from the main road. Have a look at this:

I do sometimes wonder what logic process takes place when a course designed is looking to weave a hole next to a road, or buildings, or trainline.

I was thinking this also in relation to Seaford Head Golf Club, which I played about this time last year (and never again!) - pretty much every tee box is a few yards away from the green, so if you're playing an approach shot you have to wait or else there is a reasonable chance that a less-than-perfect shot will travel towards the group in front (hence why play is so slow).

The point I'm trying to make is that the OP simply needs to demonstrate - and this wouldn't be hard - that a typical golfer isn't very good and that stray balls in the direction of the car park are not a possibility: they are a probability over the course of a year.

That said, if you push this then I can't see the golf club wanting to fork out to relocate their car park, so probably the best way to resolve this is quietly through diplomatic channels - the more you shout the less likely they'll pay your repair bill.
