Erik and Athina Tenczar bought their home abutting the Indian Pond Country Club golf course in Kingston, Massachusetts, for the beautiful views.

However, they ended up suing the club over the 600+ golf balls that have left dents and shattered windows in their home over five years, NBC News reported.

The couple said they've long since stopped repairing shattered windows, instead covering them with plastic.

"When it hits, it sounds like a gunshot," Athina said. "We're always on edge," Erik added.

A Plymouth County Superior Court jury sympathized and awarded them $4.93 million.

The club is now launching an appeal and has worked with the course's architect to find solutions for the errant projectiles. [NBC News, 4/25/2022]
