Behind my house is the first fairway for the gold course. After we moved here, we began experiencing broken windows like you just had. Fortunately, we have 4-mil mylar film attached to the insides of all our windows to block UV and protect the windows. A golf ball will break a window but the ball and no glass chips will come into the house. This was especially important when a golf ball broke a bedroom window. We would have never gotten all the glass chips our of the carpet. But the film worked. I have since installed clear Lexan polycarbonate sheets over all the windows facing the golf course. Now when we get a hit, we hear the bump but no marks are left. A side benefit of the mylar film is to block 98% of UV radiation to virtually eliminate fading of my print collection and well as make the furniture last longer. This is really important here in South Florida where the tropical sun can be vicious and we have sun almost every day of the year! Is mylar window film available in Spain? Best regards....
