'Owners risk' signs are really only attempts to excuse negligence. If damage is foreseeable and preventable then it's the owners responsibility to ensure that it is foreseen and prevented.

I am not sure I believe that because surely the club is not liable if someone breaks into your car?

Negligence is negligence but if 1 ball every 6 months goes careering into the car park then surely that's not something for the club to look after as it is the exception rather than the norm.

Exactly. It's like shops saying that they will only give store credit for returned goods. They can say it till they're blue in the face but under the sale of goods acts you can have a full refund in cash if you want.

Not exactly true, its repair, replace, refund but the shops choice, not yours.
