But we didn't know there would be golf balls . . .

Some people may be rich enough to live in the elite areas of town, but I question whether or not they are smart enough. Golf nets are the big controversy in Plano right now. It seems that some people who have "paid top dollar for fairway views" are surprised that their houses, patios, etc. are bombarded with golf balls. What did they think they were hitting on that course -- nerf balls?It's kind of like saying, "I want to live next to the ocean, but something should be done about that noisy surf!"Some of them have installed golf nets to prevent the balls from reaching their properties. Others claim the nets are an eyesore. Plano doesn't know how to settle the issue.



It's real easy -- if a house and its present owner preceded the golf course, a net is allowed. If the golf course was there first, no net. Quick, easy, and fair to everybody!
