But there\u2019s a downside to golf course living.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>A barrage of errant golf shots could turn an idyllic home into a nightmare.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>For the <\/span><span>Tenczar family, their dream home on the 15th fairway of Indian Pond Estates turned into an everyday fear of walking outside, as golf balls rained down on their property, putting their three young daughters at risk. It\u2019s also turned into a nice payday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThey bought what they thought was their dream house and it became a nightmare for them,\u201d Bob Galvin, the Tenczars\u2019 lawyer, said according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonglobe.com\/2022\/04\/22\/metro\/family-terrorized-by-golf-balls-wins-nearly-5mm-neighboring-country-club\/?s_campaign=bostonglobe%3Asocialflow%3Atwitter\"><span>The Boston Globe<\/span><\/a><span>. \u201cThey couldn\u2019t do anything outside during the golf season.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>According to The Globe, the Tenczar family were awarded $3.5 million in December for \u201cdamages and mental and emotional suffering\u201d after suing the Indian Pond Country Club for trespass after hundreds of golf balls have landed on their property since their purchase in 2017, shattering multiple windows on the home. With interest, the family will be awarded $4.9 million.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Erik and Athina Tenczar purchased their home in 2017 for $750,000, and say they have collected over 700 golf balls that have landed on their property.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cShould we have looked into chances our house would be hit? Probably. I don\u2019t know,\u201d Erik Tenczar <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonglobe.com\/2022\/04\/22\/metro\/family-terrorized-by-golf-balls-wins-nearly-5mm-neighboring-country-club\/?s_campaign=bostonglobe%3Asocialflow%3Atwitter\">said<\/a>. \u201cWe just fell in love with the house. It was our first house.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The family said that the situation became so bad that neighborhood children would wear bicycle helmets when they went outside in order to play.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWhen it hits, it sounds like a gunshot,\u201d Athina Tenczar <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonglobe.com\/2022\/04\/22\/metro\/family-terrorized-by-golf-balls-wins-nearly-5mm-neighboring-country-club\/?s_campaign=bostonglobe%3Asocialflow%3Atwitter\">said<\/a> when describing a golf ball that hit the house. \u201cIt\u2019s very scary.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>According to Erik Tenczar, they tried appealing to the golf course, with no luck.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe started calling the police because there was nothing else we could do,\u201d Athina Tenczar <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonglobe.com\/2022\/04\/22\/metro\/family-terrorized-by-golf-balls-wins-nearly-5mm-neighboring-country-club\/?s_campaign=bostonglobe%3Asocialflow%3Atwitter\">said<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe never wanted a lawsuit; nobody wants a lawsuit,\u201d she continued. \u201cWe tried to go in civilly and work with them. We got some communication but then it stopped.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The lawyer representing the golf course, John Flemming, says that the accusation that the club did nothing to try and find a solution to the Tenczars problem is incorrect.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt\u2019s not true that the golf course didn\u2019t do anything,\u201d Flemming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonglobe.com\/2022\/04\/22\/metro\/family-terrorized-by-golf-balls-wins-nearly-5mm-neighboring-country-club\/?s_campaign=bostonglobe%3Asocialflow%3Atwitter\">said<\/a>. \u201cA suggestion that we were completely unresponsive, I don\u2019t think is accurate at all.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The lawyer has also stated that he\u2019s confident that the injunction will be struck down, filing an appeal in March\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI\u2019m extremely confident that the injunction will be struck down,\u201d Flemming\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonglobe.com\/2022\/04\/22\/metro\/family-terrorized-by-golf-balls-wins-nearly-5mm-neighboring-country-club\/?s_campaign=bostonglobe%3Asocialflow%3Atwitter\">said<\/a>. \u201cIn my opinion, as a matter of law, the verdict of $3.5 million for alleged emotional distress is against the weight of the evidence.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>For the family, the last few months have been a welcome relief, as the golf course moved the 15th hole, and the Tenczars haven\u2019t had a golf ball land on their property in months.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>Joe Morgan is the Sports Reporter for The Daily Wire.
