PGA Playoff- BMW Championship

When Anthony Kim missed his birdie chance in 17th, i know that for sure that day belongs to Camilo Villegas. Our new champ had won his first PGA title and damn big money-USD1,26M compared to our Malaysian Rizman who earned USD63K in Pakistan's Open last year.

But today issue is not about the money.... We had seen hundreds of good round of golf all around the world live thru our flat screen tv. The most popular channel of course in Golf Channel Pay per view via astro. I have to admit that the crew have done a extremely good job which to make sure we will able to see every angle of golf shot which i think even the players himself cannot imagine.

Just imagine that we are able to see every shot made by the players. Bear in mind that in the day one of any tournament, at least 120 player are the field. Each of the players score has to be publish before and after the shot has been made. Every echo sound from the ball striking has to be heard by viewers.



One of the British commentator said that golf is the hardest game to be recorded live on air. Compared to other sports (except sailing), i totally agree the him. For normal 7000 yards golf course, you need at least 8 announcers. Not mentioning the guys on the tower near to green, a few guy up there in led zeppelin kind of balloon and of course the main control room at the club house. The commentators need to follow the players from the 1st until 18th tee box holding the camera just to make ourselves at home able to enjoy s the beauty of golf. These fellow is actually truly professional in the golf course
