WHEATON, Ill. — A DuPage County judge has ruled that a jury should consider whether a golfer was negligent when his ball hit a woman who was working in her yard next to the golf course.
Judge John Elsner said Thursday laws in some states say people who purchase homes next to a golf course assume the risk of being hit by a ball, but Illinois doesn’t.
In August 2005, a drive by Naperville businessman Raymond Kinney hit Lillian Demo of West Chicago on the head.
Kinney was participating in St. Andrews Golf & County Club’s annnual DuPage County Republican Day.
Demo sued in 2007, contending Kinney was negligent. She contends she suffers migraine headaches as a result.
St. Andrew is also part of the lawsuit, which seeks more than $50,000 in damages.

I do trust all of the ideas you’ve introduced on your post. They’re very convincing and will certainly work. Still, the posts are very brief for novices. May you please lengthen them a bit from next time? Thanks for the post.
I am so happy to read this. This is the kind of references that needs to be given and not the random misinformation that is at the other blogs. Many thanks this breathtaking article.
Why do people today reward Obama like he’s a Fin?!??
Just another frivolous lawsuit by someone trying to get rich quick. Any spectator at a golf match runs the risk of getting hit by an errant golf ball. There are lots of situations that can cause a golf to veer off its intended path. No golfer can hit a perfect shot 100% of the time.
