Golf shot liability: What every golfer needs to know

SOME THINGS THAT CAN MAKE A PERSON OR THE GOLF CLUB LIABLE FOR RESULTING INJURIES
1. Failure to warn people in the foreseeable zone of danger (yelling "FORE") when they are not looking and you know they are not looking. Some courts look at the 0-90 angle (acute angle) in the line of flight for the duty to warn. Outside this area, there may not be any duty to warn, or yell FORE (as errant golf shots are considered part of the game, and assumption of the risk by other golfers)
2. Having knowledge of your known propensity for slicing, hooking, over-hitting and failing to warn those is the "expanded zone of danger."
3. Intentionally or recklessly causing injury to another golfer, caddie, bystander or nearby homeowner - for example if you are voluntarily intoxicated.
NOTE: States like Arizona have DRAM SHOP ACTS that can hold a golf course liable for injuries proximately caused by over-serving someone known to be intoxicated.
4. Intentionally, recklessly, or negligently causing injury to person or property by failing to follow golf course rules for cart usage, including being intoxicated and flipping carts, crashing into trees, or causing other damages.
This is not a full list of potential liability. Be careful out there, and have fun but be safe.
