“Fore!” – Golfer Liability in New Jersey

A New Jersey Superior Court reaffirmed that only the golfer taking the shot is legally responsibile for yelling “fore” for an errant shot.  In Corino v. Duffy, the court held that two bystanders – friends of the golfer hitting the ball and part of the threesome – were not liable  for the golfer’s shot striking the plaintiff in the right eye.  A copy of the decision is available here.  The Legal Blitz has more on the decision.
