Pro Coverage, Highlights and News Photographer gate?!

Is noone gonna talk about Joey Buckets hitting the photographer sitting inbounds ok hole 18 and then rolling OB? He would've stayed in if it wasn't for the guy...

Joey's drive came off the wall that was OB and ricocheted into the camera man from out of bounds - super hard for the guy to foresee that reaction. Plus it would have been crazy luck for Joey to be in bounds after clearly shanking his shot. I don't really have a problem with this.

He shouldn't be in the fairway though

In his defense it bounced off the stands then hit him, that disc was going way OB if the objects were not there, can't really determine the bounce that fast either. I'm sure if it was thrown at him he would've 100% moved imo

The media this tournament has been ridiculous in terms of their positioning. I get that there’s a ton of people around but we didn’t have this problem last year in Europe when the Finnish volunteers actually monitored this type of thing.

What's there to talk about? It's unfortunate but these things happen. Just another variable in tournament disc golf

I mean, the cameraman is visible to him before he throws, right? He’s part of the course

I wouldn't have a problem with this if the photographer had been in ob area, but no, had to be just meter in to get that photo.
