Scofflaw Golfer Could Face Litter Count

Kevin Taylor/Inlander followed up on that Scanner Traffic report re: a guy on a houseboat knocking golfballs onto the floating green: "Perhaps this is a little insurrection from the commoners, intended to beard Resort mogul Duane Hagadone, who exploded an estimated 900 shells over the lake the other night to cap a little party he was hosting for millionaires [and even 10 billionaires] who came to his little lake cabin for a board meeting of the Horatio Alger Association. The guest list is said to have included Wayne Huizenga (who flew in on his personal Boeing 737 with the Miami Dolphins logo on the tail), Warren Buffett, Oprah and Kenny Rogers. We called Maj. Ben Wolfinger of the Kootenai County Sheriff's Office to see if there is any sort of a crime here. If not, we suspect houseboat rentals may spike." More here.

Question: Have you ever played the Coeur d'Alene Resort golf course? Have you had problems hitting your ball onto the floating green rather than into the water?
