being on the recieveing end of the golf ball is dangerous, we have a public golf course near my hood, and I noticed that the trees in the area are peppered with old imbeded golf *****, pretty scary stuff.

270 + 40 over? I would try to find Tiger Woods. He's your man.

Well I finally called the Dent wizard. $75 and unbelievable. You cannot tell it was hit by the golfball. And I kept procastinating. What an idiot. Wish I had before and after pictures.

My only mistake was trying to do it myself with one of those tv adv products. It worked about 85%.

Oh and thanks Crossfire forum for the link to the BMW forum with a Miami contact.

I hate golf, with a passion, ironically I'm surrounded by two golf courses both under 1/4 mile away, one of the places the little white ball needs to go into the little slot in the ground, is less than 50 yards away from the window. And another spot where they hit the ball from is about 50 yards from my driveway. Fortunately no car or window shots yet. But my neighbors have about one busted patio door window a year. The golf course pays for the people to come out. Two years ago the doors were open and it went through both (sliding) glass doors. Those things are deadly. Anyway, the golf course noticed the pattern and was nice enough to even let the owners choose new doors completely and pay for the installation of new doors and glass. Maybe not all golf courses but this one is nice. Sometimes instead of washing the windows I wonder if I just throw a golf ball at it would that make it simpler .

A few weeks back my wife and I went on a road trip in the SRT6 to San Diego. Drove right past the Torrey Pines golf club driving range and was hit by a ball. Fortunately I can not find a mark on the car. It must have been a glancing blow but it was sure loud. I was really pissed off until I could not find anything wrong.
