Families living near a golf course have said they are scared to leave their homes as there are 'balls coming out of the sky'. Locals near Romney Marsh, Kent, claim it is no longer possible to live a quiet life due to the 'damage' and 'risk of injury'. Despite bosses at the Lydd Golf Club and Driving Range insisting they have a good reputation in the area, there are allegations residents can't sit outside for fear of being hurt. One person said: 'We all just want a quiet life and be able to relax outside in our gardens.' He alleged: 'But that's not possible with golf balls coming out of the sky. 'As well as the damage to our homes, there's the real risk of injury to us or our pets.' Another claimed his mobile home has been hit at least six times, causing dents to the side and roof. The golf club has said it takes the allegations very seriously and is taking measures to stop balls going astray. Tom Wraight, club manager, said: 'Lydd Golf Club and Driving Range Limited has been a part of the Romney Marsh community for over 30 years. 'The golf club has gained a notable reputation as well as a significant number of memberships and is used by those who reside nearby in the area and beyond. 'The golf club would always take the concerns of any residents seriously and carry out an investigation, followed by findings. 'The golf club is aware of one ongoing complaint from a resident, who used to attend the golf club but was subsequently banned. 'A recent inspection carried out by a representative of the local authority confirmed that the golf club has extensive measures in place to mitigate the risk of errant golf balls coming onto neighbouring properties. 'And has taken the best practicable means to reduce the risk of this occurring. 'The golf club is not currently aware of any reports of damage to property of residents, nor any injuries. 'The golf club remains committed to upholding best practices and addressing any concerns proportionately and amicably that may be raised.
