A Hawaiian court has found that you are not responsible for hitting another golfer with your ball. This is a good thing for all of us bad golfers.
The ruling specifically says that duffers who intentionally hit a ball to inflict injury, or recklessly hit the ball, aren’t exempt from liability. As for shouting “Fore!” the court said that’s simply proper golf etiquette, not a legal requirement.

Also, don’t look for the ball when someone yells “fore”…it has nothing to do with etiquette, it’s just common sense.
