Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

I broke a window with a golf ball on the fairway. Under Florida law, who is responsible, the person who hit the ball or the homeowner? This was a private country club that I work at and have golf privleges and they have a association rule that the golfer pays for the window.
