Ashley Teerlink was driving on Droubay Road, next to the Oquirrh Hills Golf Course in Tooele, to get to her parents' house when her windshield was hit by a golf ball.
"Thankfully we hadn't been going faster, otherwise it would've hit one of our side passenger windows," she said."Those aren't as robust as a front windshield, so that would've completely shattered and injured either my grandmother or my children."
Tooele City officials said the liability for damaged property falls on the individual golfer. If the golfer can't be found, the city encourages people to file a police report or claim with the city. In Jason Otis' two years of living next to the golf course, his family has collected hundreds of golf balls.Some balls have just landed in his yard, but others have hit his home or truck.
