Golf Bug

I took some golf lessons years ago but wasn’t very good at it.
My grandfather loved golf after his retirement and I think my
younger brother plays. However, golf was not a big part of my
life until our neighbor took it up. He has been practicing in
his back yard. For months now, we and all the surrounding
neighbors have been finding his golf balls in our yards. A few
weeks ago, five of us surrounded him at a neighborhood BarBQ to
tease him about his new passion and gently ask him to practice
somewhere else.

Early last Saturday, we heard a great THUMP! on the side
of our house. Another golf ball appeared in the yard. Last Sunday,
we came home from church to find a second floor window shattered and
a golf ball below. Our neighbor was very responsive to our request:
he has been busy measuring the frame and getting someone to replace the
window. The sliding glass is double paned and tinted, with a
metal frame, so it is not an easy fix.

He says he has sworn off golf.
