Report Says Brielle Man Built 65-Foot Net To Stop Golf Balls

A Brielle man built a 65-foot net to stop golf balls. And now the man reportedly is running into trouble with his neighbors near the Manasquan River Golf Club.

Ron Dana, who lives on Riverview Drive, built the 65-foot by 130-foot netting in 2018 and did it without any permits or official approvals, according to The Asbury Park Press.

Now he's facing four violations of the municipal code and has requested a variance to allow the net to remain while neighbors have launched a protest, according to the Press.

“It was done without any inspections or permits or variances by anyone, Patricia Housen, who lives across the golf course from the net on Laurel Avenue, told The Press. “Was it done properly? How safe is it? Is it going to fall down tomorrow?”
