Iowa Supreme Court warns golfers hit greens not players
The Iowa Supreme Court unanimously reversed a district ruling, finding golfers can be negligent if they fail to warn when shots pose danger. The decision expands the zone of danger to include those not in the direct path, citing a 1987 eye injury case at Washington Golf and Country Club. It sends the case back for reconsideration and notes a related ruling upholding a $100,000 damages award to William Young against Clarmond Country Club.
