Under attack from golf balls, teed off Lake worth Beach neighborhood plead for help

'Thousands of golf balls year after year raining down on our urban neighborhood is grossly unreasonable and completely unacceptable.'

Buy a house on a golf course and there’s an expectation that a dimpled intruder will show up in your yard every now and then, right?

But residents in Lake Worth Beach’s scenic Parrot Cove neighborhood say there’s something strange going on at the 18-hole Lake Worth Beach Golf Club course that runs along the neighborhood’s east border.

Not only are homes with yards along the third tee getting hit, so are homes and cars as far as two blocks west.

Badly slicing drives have smashed windshields and house windows, dented cars and front doors, splashed into swimming pools and ripped flower beds. One ball crashed through a bathroom window as a woman sat on the toilet.

As one homeowner complained to city officials, '‘Thousands of golf balls year after year raining down on our urban neighborhood is grossly unreasonable and completely unacceptable.'‘
