Ball Golf Sale

What can I do to erect a swing set in my backyard even though I live adjacent to a golf course?

My house backs up to a golf course and we find golf balls in our yard on a daily basis. At least 2-3 golf balls are found in our yard every day. I want to erect a swing set/play set for our children but am concerned about it because of the golf balls. There is not a place in our yard that we could put the swing set and not worry about the golf balls knocking our kids in the head. I thought about a net, but can not find one online….plus this has been mentioned to the HOA and they did not seem too excited about the idea of a net. I was hoping to find something that could shield the play set and be easily put up and taken down. We didn’t intend on staying in this house forever but considering the housing market, putting the house up for sale is no longer an option.

To the first answer: So the guy knowingly moves into a house on a golf course, and you expect the course to pay for a net? Laughable.

To the asker: A net would be the only nearly foolproof way of preventing injuries, but even a net can allow a ball through every once in a while. You need to talk to your HOA, and if they give you problems about putting up a net, ask them if they’d like a lawsuit on their hands if one of your kids get injured because they prevented you from putting up a net.
