I don't know how to stop a person who is either really or pretending to

side or back of his property. I need to prevent this before something
really serious happens.

I was thinking of continuing to reprimand him (which I believe will not
work if he refuses to acknowledge the problem) or to start hitting hard
golf balls into his yard. Which would you chose? Have you had similar
experiences? Do you have any suggestions to help me?

Oy. Idiots suck.

A very inconvenient fence and keeping anything that goes over it, is
your last resort, but hopefully reason can prevail.

Is he married? Perhaps there's an adult with some sense in his
household that can have some influence with him so things don't
escalate further.

Engage his opinion in what color he'd like the fence you're planning
to build. If he inquires why you're building it, cite concern for
your kids safety and see if he doesn't connect the dots. If not give
the half joking half serious tone of "to make it harder for you to get
any of these goddamn baseballs back...hahahahaha! Just kidding.
Or am I." Throw in a maniacal laugh just for grins.

Tread carefully though. Living in close proximity to an idiot who is
provoked up their mind to screw with you for fun seldom ends well.
