\"\"WHEATON, Ill. — A DuPage County judge has ruled that a jury should consider whether a golfer was negligent when his ball hit a woman who was working in her yard next to the golf course.<\/p>\n

Judge John Elsner said Thursday laws in some states say people who purchase homes next to a golf course assume the risk of being hit by a ball, but Illinois doesn’t.<\/p>\n

In August 2005, a drive by Naperville businessman Raymond Kinney hit Lillian Demo of West Chicago on the head. <\/span><\/p>\n

Kinney was participating in St. Andrews Golf & County Club’s annnual DuPage County Republican Day.<\/p>\n

Demo sued in 2007, contending Kinney was negligent. She contends she suffers migraine headaches as a result.<\/p>\n

St. Andrew is also part of the lawsuit, which seeks more than $50,000 in damages.<\/p>\n
