PGA Tour v. Martin (2001)  case?

No, because golf is about hitting a ball in the fewest number of strokes to get it into a hole, not about walking the golf course.

That trial was ultimately heard before the Supreme Court. Their opinion is at the site below. The ruling goes over the District ruling in detail.\n\nEdit:\nDon't pay for that crap in the site above. It's just a poorly written essay about the cases, not the opinion itself, which is available freely below.

Technology has made golf balls travel farther than ever, resulting in an increase in damage to property and individuals from errant shots. Accordingly, golf clubs are addressing these claims by realigning tee boxes and installing barrier landscaping and fencing. Matt Martin, an attorney in the Addison Law Firm, handles a lot of these kinds of cases.\n\n“Owners need to understand that there is a potential for the golf course owner to be liable in these situations,” he cautions. “The laws are usually based on the nuisance theory—that the golf course owner has a duty to protect property owners from unreasonably dangerous activities that that will keep homeowners from a reasonable use and enjoyment of their house.”\n\nMartin recommends that owners identify the dangerous areas on the course, which he says can usually be singled out by the number of complaints received, and take action to remedy the problem.\n\n“They could realign or relocate a tee box or use strategic landscaping to keep golfers from cutting across someone’s property on a severe dogleg—or the owner could put up fences, trees or netting. They need to make sure that the course has open space easements. It is also a good idea to negotiate with real estate developers to put in restricted covenants that address the negative aspects of living next to a golf course.”\n\nIf a ball hit by a member or a daily-fee player damages a homeowner’s property or person, Martin advises that the owner immediately try to find out who hit the shot, because golfers are usually very willing to pay for their damages.

Final Day 1986 US Masters, Jack Nicklaus wins his 18th and final Major as the Great White Shark Collapses. \n1986 was also the year Willie Shoemaker won the Derby on 20-1 longshot Ferdinand. But Nicklaus triumph was special.\n\nI think George Foreman stopping Michael Moorer was great as did Pete Sampras defeating Agassi to win his Final US Open, but the joy I had in seeing Nicklaus win was something special.\n\nAnd I don't even play golf.

Brent:\n\nI thought about this question for literally two hours. There are many factors invloved which effect the answer to this question.\n\n# 1 is the course...it's been redesigned many times over the years. I'm going to assume this magical match is going to take place on today's behemoth of a course. \n\nSince it's taking place on the 2006 version of Firestone CC, which really favors a long hitter who can fade the ball (Hogan) rather than a ball striker such as Nelson. \n\nAlthough match play tends to favor the more consistent player, both of these players have been identified as two of the best ball strikers off all time...neither were said to be fantastic putters, but I recall reading that Hogan would go years without missing a short putt (this was before he got the yips later in his career).\n\nI'm also going to assume that they're going to be using their vintage clubs....which I think would favor Hogan since he was noted to be a great fairway wood and long iron player...which would help at Firestone of today with it's massive length. \n\nAfter figuring all the variables I still believe it would come down to one thing....Hogan always was ticked at Nelson, who grew up in the same caddy yard as young Ben (although a few years older and much bigger) and garnered much of the attention of the members. \n\nThis always left Hogan with a chip on his shoulder against Nelson. I think The Hawk would stare Nelson down and beat him with a birdie on The Monster, 16 at Firestone...3 and 2. \n\nNice question, I enjoyed formulating an answer to it!

September 2005 Golf Digest did a feature on college golf.  They broke them down in a number of ways, including skill, academics, balance, and available local courses. The article is really indepth and has a lot of great information about coaches and other players, and I couldn't do it justice summarizing it, so see if you can find it at your library.\n\nDuke was ranked number 1 though.

The PGA tour has the q School or Qualifying school which is 3 stages then the final stage is 6 rounds.  the top 20 and ties make the PGA tour and I believe the next 25 get on the nationwide tour.  Also the top 125 on the pga money list keep their cards and the next 25 get conditional play on the tour.  The following 25 get nationwide cards.  Another way is anyone who wins a tour event gets a 2 year exemption unless it is a major then it is 10 years and the players championship gets 5 years.  But you have to play atleast 15 tournaments in a year to keep the card. The top 20 finishers on the nationwide money list also get a card to the PGA tour.  Also if you are in the top 50 alltime money list you can use a one time exemption if you dont Qualify any other way.  The final way to keep your card is if you have 20 career victories you get a life time exemption.  Not a tour exemptions but tournaments on the nationwide tour not so much the PGA anymore also have monday qualifiers for people who havent qualified for the tournament.  But usually its like 30 people going for 1 spot.

You asked about the Players Championship, but you were THINKING about the soon-to-be-played Tour Championship.\n\nI have listed qualifying for both:\n\nA quick answer is that the Tour is made up of the Top 30 money winners and thats it. They do not use an alternate's list.\n\nthe Players Championship\nThe tournament's eligibility criteria are stringent and utilize the PGA TOUR money list and Official World Golf Ranking, as well as offering invitations to major champions, winners of the World Golf Championships and PGA TOUR winners in the past 12 months.\n\nThe result makes THE PLAYERS Championship one of the most sought-after dates in the game. Just ask Montgomerie.\n\nFollowing is a list of the elgibility criteria for THE PLAYERS Championship.\n\n    * Winners of PGA TOUR cosponsored or approved tournaments, whose victories are considered official, since the 2003 PLAYERS Championship.\n    * The top 125 finishers on the 2003 Official PGA TOUR Money List.\n    * PGA TOUR members from the current Tournament Winners category.\n    * Members in the Top-125 Nonmembers category whose official money for the previous year equals or exceeds the amount of official money earned by the player finishing in 125th position on the 2003 Official PGA TOUR Money List.\n    * Winners of THE PLAYERS Championship, Masters Tournament, U.S. Open, British Open and PGA Championship in the last 10 years (1994-2003). Beginning with the 1998 winners of these events, winners will be eligible for five years.\n    * Winners of the NEC World Series of Golf from 1993-1997.\n    * Winners of THE TOUR Championship in the last three years (2001-2003).\n    * Winners of the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship in the last three years (2002-2004).\n    * Winners of the World Golf Championships-NEC Invitational and World Golf Championships-American Express Championship in the last three years (2001-2003).\n    * Any player(s) not otherwise eligible, among the top 50 leaders from the Official World Golf Ranking through the Bay Hill Invitational.\n    * Any player(s), not otherwise eligible, who are among the top 10 money winners from the 2004 Official PGA TOUR Money List through the Bay Hill Invitational.\n    * To complete a field of 144, those players, not otherwise eligible, from the 2004 Official Money List below 10th position through the Bay Hill Invitational, in order of their positions on the money list.\n    * THE PLAYERS Championship Committee may invite a player(s), not otherwise eligible, who is a current inductee of the World Golf Hall of Fame. Such player(s) would be added to the field.\n\nthe Tour Championship\nTHE TOUR Championship (the capitalisation is official) is the final event of golf's PGA Tour season. Beginning in 1997, the event alternated between Champions Golf Club in Houston, Texas and East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Georgia; since 2004, East Lake has been the event's permanent home.\n\nThe top 30 money winners on the PGA Tour after the penultimate event qualify for the Championship, which is one of the richest tournaments on the tour. \n\nIt takes place in early November, the week after the comparable event in Europe, the Volvo Masters, which allows players who are members of both the PGA Tour and the European Tour to play in both end of season events. After The Tour Championship, the money list for the season is finalised. There are a number of additional events between The Tour Championship and Christmas which are recognised by the PGA Tour, but prize money won in them is unofficial. Also, because this tournament's field is not as large as other golf tournaments, there are no 2nd Round cuts, as there's simply no need for one(meaning, all 30 players are guaranteed to play all 4 Rounds, and are guaranteed a paycheque, no matter how badly they play).\n\nIn 2007, THE TOUR Championship will move from its November date to a date in mid-September, where it will end a four-tournament "Chase for

You hit the nail on the head this time.... The legal way....is like playing baseball against a team who cheats, and has all of the umpires paid off, so that you will never win.... the legal way is virtually non existent

That would be Stuart Appleby from Australia.  She was pinned against another car by an errant taxi driver and subsequently died.  He has since remarried and has enjoyed a very successful PGA Tour career.

Unless it was intentional, and can be proved, then no you are not liable.  It's called assumption of risk.  If you choose to purchase a home that is on the golf course you should know what to expect.

well there was the guy who was charged with intoxication man slaughter when his wife fell off a golf cart and died with him driving drunk.  anything is possible with our legal system.
