Golf Ball Impact on Double-Pane Windows: Exterior vs. Interior Shatter

Yes, it is possible for a golf ball to hit the exterior double window pane and only shatter the interior pane. Golf balls can travel at high speeds, and when they hit a window, the impact can cause the glass to shatter. The shattering of the glass is caused by the force of the impact, and the type of glass used in the window. Tempered glass is more resistant to shattering than annealed glass, and is often used in exterior window panes. Annealed glass is less resistant to shattering, and is often used in the interior of double window panes. If the golf ball hits the window at a high enough speed, it can shatter the annealed glass of the interior pane, while leaving the tempered glass of the exterior pane intact.
