I have had no reply from the golf course, and feel i gave them plenty of time to reply to my letter, so have now wrote this top the council...........  :evil:


Dear Sir/ madam


      I write to inform you of an incident on the 31st August 2007, in which my car was parked on a friend’s driveway at 41 Colonial Drive, Collingtree Park, Northampton.

When a golf ball came flying over and hit my car on the driver’s side door, leaving an imprint of the golf ball and a fair size dent.

Please see enclosed correspondence between myself and Collingtree Park Golf Course regarding this matter.

In which they are saying that the club carries no insurance to deal with this kind of incident, however, I feel it must be the responsibility of someone rather than myself, as there are no warnings regarding any risks relating to the golf course and parking issues, and I do not see why I should have to pay as quoted approximately £150 to have the dent removed and repaired.

I was clearly parked in the correct way on private property. Not to mention the force the ball must have come over, it could have smashed a window or worse knocked someone out and caused a serious injury.

I now leave it in your hands to find out who is liable for this, and feel it is a matter for health and safety to prevent it happening again and either causing damage or injury.

I look forward to your response regarding this issue.


Kind regards



Lorna Steggles

All business' must by law carry public liability insurance, if say a paying member of the public crashed a, "Land Rover Experience"  vehicle into your leg would you expect them to say, sorry you need to take it up with the individual??

i would be very tempted to do £150 of off roading on the golf course greens and take the local press along for the story

I think you've got something there - how about a new 4x4 event? A golf course is set up around a pay and play site (or some handy private land). You have to take shots standing within 6ft of the vehicle, so you now exercise driving skills in getting to wherever the ball has ended up and golfing skills in putting it somewhere easy to get to!
