It depends on whether she was acting in a negligent manner. I realize that's not the most helpful answer but perhaps a few examples can help.

If Shannon was not paying attention to what she was doing and hit the ball in such a way that a "reasonable" golfer would not, and that is what caused the ball to veer off, she might be.

If Shannon hit the ball normally and a freak gust of wind (that no one could predict) caused the ball to veer - she shouldn't be.

Obviously there are a million different fact patterns but hopefully this gives you an idea at least.

Also, if she's on a Golf course with permission (i.e. she paid her fee or at least didn't sneak on in the middle of the night) the course might have some sort of policy that covers all of its clients. It might not cover her if she acted intentionally (hey I wonder if I can hit that car) but might cover negligent acts (not paying attention, etc)
