Golf Balls Wouldn’t Stop Smashing Into A Family’s Home, But Then They Decided Enough Was Enough

The spring of 2017 seemed like a dream for the Tenczar family. They’d just bought their first property, and the future was looking bright. But when they moved in, that dream scenario rapidly descended into something akin to a nightmare. Why? Their home was being repeatedly pelted with golf balls, representing a genuine threat to their lives. And a solution wasn’t going to be easily achieved.

Little reason to suspect

The Tenczars — made up of Athina, Erik, and their three kids — had no real reason to suspect that their home was under such threat before they bought it. The place was a new build, but they’d spoken to the developers about the site. At no stage were they alerted to the severity of the problems that would soon take over their lives.

Big bang

And so they purchased the house and made the move. This was surely an exciting time for the young family, with a long future in their new, idyllic home on the horizon. And in those initial days and weeks of living in the house, everything seemed right. They loved staring out the windows and surveying their surroundings. But then it happened: out of nowhere, a hard, dangerous object crashed into their property.

Hard as nails

Yes, the offending object was a golf ball. Now, it should go without saying that these things can cause an awful lot of damage. They’re hard as nails and tend to be hit with tremendous force. Nobody wants one soaring through the air and smashing into a property full of young children. But that’s precisely what happened here — and it was only the beginning.

A magnet

It quickly became clear that this was going to be in no way a freak occurrence. In truth, the Tenczar home seemed like a magnet for golf balls. Time after time, their property was shaken by the horrendous sound of these things smashing into it. Lots of damage was sustained to the building, not to mention the tremendous stress and mental anguish the situation inflicted upon the family.
