Go hover over a golfer getting ready to tee-off, or try to make a 15 ft putt for a birdie an a win on a championship course. Then ask how they like drones. I play, and I would not like it one bit.
Yes, I can say, "telephoto lens." It isn't a very difficult word to pronounce. But what is your point?

If you hover over a golfer you are violating the FAA rules. If you are flying near enough to him that it physically affects him then you are violating FAA rules. If he becomes annoyed because he doesn't like drones and it offends his delicate sensibilities.... that sounds like a "him" problem and not a drone problem.
