Summary
Homeowners on Laurel Lane have fought errant golf balls from the country club's non-conforming driving range for years. A prior violation finding and irons-only policy fell apart, and balls are again striking homes, cars, and nearly children. The county recently changed its ordinance to allow 60-foot netting, but the board says it can only decide violation, not dictate a fix.
