I’m watching the par 3 contest on Masters TV right now. Jim Grey is interviewing the likes of Fuzzy and Jack but the audio quality is terrible! I’m an old audio pro and I know what a bad microphone cable sounds like. Someone fix that cable!
I think the audio that is being picked up is just from the camera. The handheld mic is not making a difference and there is a lot of ambient noise.
UPDATE: I figured it out. Jim Grey had a lapel mic on his collar. That was the one that was picking up the audio, not the handheld. And it sounded like there was a short in the cable too.
Head on over and read this article by Bill Wolfrum at Travel Golf on HOG friend and my buddy Luke Swilor.
Bill does a nice job writing about Luke. He quoted me a heck of a lot, which is nice.
Bill even posted a 2nd article which more directly asks someone out there with some cashola to sponsor Luke. Another blog jumps on the Luke sponsorship bandwagon! You never know. It just might happen.
My favorite quote from the 2nd article: “Being a good blogger is like being good at oral sex. Sure, it’s something that gives you pride, but so few people are aware of your skills.”
By the way, Luke was very patient with me while I (to quote Chris DiMarco) “threw up all over myself” on the course yesterday. Thanks buddy.
The latest HOG poll is the hottest one in HOG history with over 200 votes in a week! Today is your last chance to place your vote on who will win the 2006 Masters.
Week 9 is in the fantasy books and Eat Golf is the winner…again. That’s two weeks in a row. Will someone please step up and challenge this guy? For his efforts this week he wins a Golf Dust Tune Up Kit.
By the way, it’s still not too late to join and get in on tons of great prizes!
