Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
I broke a window with a golf ball on the fairway. Under Florida law, who is responsible, the person who hit the ball or the homeowner? This was a private country club that I work at and have golf privleges and they have a association rule that the golfer pays for the window.

Your agreement with the association would seem to take precedence. There is no statute on this obligation. You negligently hit your ball off the fairway, so you technically would be responsible under tort law.
