Re: property damage

Yes, you are responsible for the damage. As between the person striking the ball and the person who owns the residence, responsibility falls on you. If you think of it this way, it is easier for you to control the ball than it is for the property owner to move the house out of the way of the ball.

Hopefully it wasn't an expensive bay window of some sort.

My best of luck to you in this unfortunate situation.
