Default Uh...Oh...Errant ball goes through birdcage :(

So DH and I are out on Truman tonight and DH hits a ball on hole 4 that sails left and we hear bong, bing and know he's hit something. As we come up the path, the homeowner of the CYV meets us and says, "Here's your ball...you put it through my screen" Sure enough there is a hole at the top of the birdcage. And another hole in the screen next to it. The ball he handed us was my husband's (at least it was the same make). The homeowner suggested we contact our insurance company. We exchanged name cards and I asked the homeowner to get 3 estimates to repair the one (1) screen panel. He balked at that and said T&D put the birdcage up and that was the only estimate he would get. I told him I was checking with our insurance but was sure 3 estimates would be required.

Since we've been lucky enough to never hit anything while on the course, can anyone give us some guidelines, assistance. And, any idea of what an upper screen on a midsize birdcage would cost?

Thanks.
