Residing Adjacent to a Golf Club, Kingston Couple’s Nightmarish Experience Takes a U-Turn After Court Overrules $4.9 Million Verdict

The court battle between the PGA Tour and the LIV Golf Series has kept fans hooked on the news. But that isn’t the only golf case that is making waves. A regular couple’s successful lawsuit against a neighborhood golf club has made rounds, which initially awarded the pair with a compensation of $5 million. However, that decision has been reversed, with the judge claiming a crucial error in the trial.

Kingston couple’s dream-house nightmare

The Tenczars family fell in love with their house in Kingston and purchased it for $750,000 in 2017. However, their dream home turned soon turned into agony and despair when the establishment of a country golf club was made prevalent.

According to the couple, their home, which borders the Indian Pond Country Club, has witnessed 651 golf balls rocket onto their premises. Many of them have hit the structure of the building, with the damaged list including eight broken windows, the house’s siding, and a deck railing.

The couple was allegedly traumatized from the daily bombardment of golf balls, which arrived from the 15th tee at the club. They initially sought to resolve the matter with the club itself, following which certain changes were made at the tee box.

However, while the number of balls came down, it didn’t stop the plummeting of high-speed golf balls into their courtyard. The couple decided to hire a lawyer and file a lawsuit against the club, which they eventually won.

In compensation charges, the judge ordered the club to pay $3.5 million for damages and emotional and mental suffering, which elevated to $4.9 million with interest.

State high court overturns verdict

However, months after the local court had closed the case, the state high court threw out the $5 million jury verdict awarded to the couple. The golf club preceded this by challenging the initial rule, with the new judge remarking that errant shots are a part of the sport.

The couple’s lawyers were obviously not happy with the verdict but claimed that they hope the case was sympathetic to their struggles. A new trial is set to take place at the Plymouth Superior Court at a later date.
