I asked an acoustician once if it was my imagination that adverts are louder than the TV programmes. He said no, they aren't actually louder, but they use compression techniques that make them sound louder, even though you haven't touched the volume control. It isn't possible to stop them doing it, apparently
Obelixx, are you saying that they play music on golf programmes. That's weird
I've never understood why people believe golf programmes.
Show a man standing on grass whacking a ball. Show a bit of sky. Show a ball landing on shorter grass. Man follows ball in a toy car. Man hits ball into a hole. People gasp and clap.
My question is: how do the tv watchers know they're not being shown any old bit of sky and any old ball landing on the ground?
Very civilised, Dhr.sorry, couldn't resist a bit of cage rattling. I don't know enough (or anything, actually) to criticize the sport but some sports don't really work on TV .
I suspect the sky scenes are a bit like the 'noddies' that are done separately from the actual interview and are added in afterwards.
B3 - not all the way thru but definitely during the bits between shots and pundits and course discussions but, frankly, who cares? Golf is such a waste of time. 4 hours to play a round plus the preamble, the 19th hole, the journey there and back, the endless spost mortems (as bad as bridge players!) and the practice sessions in between games.
What is there to like? The only upside I can see is that golf provides space for wildlife and, over here anyway, the food is usually good when I am finally persuaded to go for a meal in the club restaurant.

Oh yes
Some of them even speak English if you ask them to, as opposed to their native tongue, which I believe is logarithms.

I meant when the camera pans up to the sky. I've no experience of Sky TV either
In my experience, the only thing duller than the actual game of golf is the overwhelming majority of those who play it.

Do you include that person?
For all that I despise the man, one can hardly call him " dull ".
punkdoc, please do what I did a very long time ago and dump him in the handy "ignore" cupboard.
It works a treat
