Players in PGA tournaments have enough distractions from galleries to deal with without "camera shutters" and "ringing phones" added to the mix. I recall Curtis Strange shaking his fist after playing a short iron to the green in a USPGA tourney a few years back - it was a day of intermittent showers and partway through his swing about 50-60 people in the gallery all unfurled their umbrellas simultaneously. Another thing that irritates me is those idiots standing behind the tee yelling "get in the hole" after every Tiger Woods' drive ... most golfers know the chances of that happening on a 4 or 5 par hole are slim.
