According to the Palm Beach Post, the woman alleges that the city should have installed landscaping, netting, or fences to protect pedestrians and cars. The Palm Beach Post said the woman's retina and macula were injured after being struck on a bike path near the golf course, leaving her partially blind. 

The woman also sued the golfer who hit the ball for negligence, citing the golfer's alleged knowledge that she was an "erratic golfer."
