As residents of Wheeling, WV, USA, living by Wheeling Park Golf Course, we have personally faced damage due to straying golf balls from the course. Our vehicle's front windshield was busted by a mishit ball from the course. The park management has refused to accommodate our concerns or pay for the damages, stating that it was our choice to live near the golf course.

This issue goes beyond our own experience- there is a need for stronger safety measures to prevent similar accidents and liabilities. Each year, hundreds of injuries occur due to straying golf balls, not only endangering property, but also potentially causing personal injury. Stricter safety regulations are necessary to mitigate these risks on golf courses nationwide.

We are directly demanding Wheeling Park management to install higher and more durable nets to prevent these accidents. This is not just about protecting us, the residents living in proximity to the course, but also for the safety of drivers and pedestrians passing by.

The improvement could not only significantly minimize the potential for property damage and injury, but also alleviate stress and prevent future disputes regarding liability. Let's protect our homes and our community. Please sign this petition to urge Wheeling Park to install higher, more durable safety nets. Let's take action to make Wheeling a safer place to live and play golf.
