John Daly sues photographer etc

[N.V.M.]

not sure if this was posted, couldn't find it after a search. anyways, i see JD is filing a lawsuit against the Honda Classic's insurance people after an unpaid fan(fence jumper?) took a flash photo of him while he was right at the top of his swing. apparently he was startled and hurt himself and he claims his injury made him lose millions of potential earnings during last year. has anybody seen any of this?

speaking of which, i just heard Daly pulled out of the Bob Hope because of his nagging rib injury.

In our country these days he will probably win it...

I'm starting to get real tired of the JD soap opera. He played 17 tournaments after the one the incident happened in. Yah, he had a crap year, but if the injury was so bad, how could he have played that many. I hurt my ribs playing hockey last year, and cracked some ribs playing hockey as a teenager, and the last thing I could do was swing a golf club. JD's alimony payment must be up and he needs the money.

And like thus you highlight another ridiculous facet of our modern society...

But yeah, I support the lawsuit. There shouldn't be cell phones or cameras at tournaments. Period. I don't care if they have to stripsearch people at the gates.

John Daly has the right to sue surely because the bloke who took the picture was technically trespassing was he not, I don't know who being distracted in a swing can cause an injury, that only transpires after a certain amount of uninspiring performances, however as long as John Daly can prove it, and has lost earnings as a result of his 'injury' there is no reason why he should not sue the company running the event.
