Abstract

This Article is the first of its kind to argue for a more expansive interpretation of golfer liability for damages caused to people and property adjacent to a golf course. To arrive at this conclusion, the latest in golf course computer modeling is applied to a recent $5 million jury verdict to demonstrate the considerable frequency of errant golf shots.
