Well, a p&s in this case is a definite advantage. If the guy doesn't pay
for a replacement the photographer has lost less than if it was a dslr.
If he does pay, move up to a dslr, preferably an expensive one.

Actually it is the photographers fault. . If you read the article
spectators are not permitted to use cameras. So he could have been
ejected from the event.

That said it is probably illegal to destroy or damage the camera.

As I read it, it was more the flashing in the face that did it. Both
Daly and the camera wielder are boors, Daly for a longer, or at least,
better documented, period.

True, he is like that, but the quality level of fans on golf courses
in the past decade has deteriorated. Anyone blasted a flash at me
while I was concentrating on making a shot, I'd be mad too.

Both were out of order I think but smashing the camera is OTT

My house faces a tee on a golf course. Earlier this year, when I was
mowing my grass, a golfer left the tee and came over to me and
demanded that I stop my riding mower until he finished teeing off. He
said that the noise interfered with his concentration.

I told him that I'd seen his swing, and no amount of quiet would
improve it.

I thought the 6-inch distance was a figure of speech. Not that I
condone the photographer's thoughtless action.

What I find rather hilarious is what is implied by the subject
line of this thread: that it could only happen to a "P&S dope".
It makes me wonder if Daly would have reacted differently had the
photographer had been using a DSLR. :)
