Haven't been on here a lot of late but just a question?
Yesterday I had a terrible pull draw right off the first tee (I normally have a slight fade with my driver). The ball went out of bounds and took out a second story window of a home. The home had a net in front and it had to be the most perfectly imperfect shot in golf. I know I broke a window because of the sound. I was expecting someone to come out but it didn't happen. It shook me up and I didn't know exactly what to do. I just figured I would tell the first Marshal I saw which happened as we got to the fourth tee. He said "just report it to the clubhouse when you finish" and I asked him to alert them the next time he stopped by the clubhouse which he said he would. On the turn a clubhouse guy came out to ask us if we would play the front 9 again since they had a tournament in front of us that made us take over 3 hours for the front 9. I told him as well and he just told me to check in when I was done. We finished and I reported to the clubhouse and was told no one had called as of yet, so I gave them my contact information.
I have never caused property damage before. I've hit into yards before but never anything where I actually did damage that I could tell was apparent. I have gone on to see who has liability and come away confused. I have not been called (played yesterday) so I would have figured that I would have been done.
My question is what is the procedure for doing something like this. Did I act appropriately?
