Description
Shattered windshields. Golf-ball-sized dents in car hoods, on roofs, and doors. Cracked rear windshields. These are all examples of the complaints made by unsuspecting drivers whose cars were hit by shanked and sliced golf balls darting off City of San Diego owned golf courses and onto city streets.
Since 2018, the city has received 103 legal claims to pay tens of thousands of dollars in damages from golf balls flying off-course and onto city streets, splintering windshields, denting hoods and car rooftops, and other damage.
According to public records obtained by CBS 8 through a public records request, all claims were made in or around golf courses in Mission Bay, Torrey Pines, and Balboa Park.
