The new 15th hole at a golf course in the city of Anaheim, Calif., has gotten on the nerves of nearby residents who say the altered trajectory of golf balls has caused damage to their homes, KTLA 5 reported.
Casa Hermosa Mobile Home Park residents, who are now suing the city, said the problem began about two to three years ago when some trees were cleared and the tee box was moved to, they claim, speed up play on the course, according to news reports.
“What happened over here is one came flying and smashed my window,” Casa Hermosa resident Heide Thomas told KTLA as she pointed to her damaged window. Another resident, George Kezios, pointed out a window he replaced after it was shattered by a golf ball, as well as actual holes in his home from other wayward balls.
Just as it has been raining golf balls since then, the city argued it needed to move the 1
5th hole to accommodate some of the work the county needed to do along a flood channel.The lawsuit calls for the city to make changes to the 15th hole or install large nets to protect the homes and residents from potential damage.
