I'm sure some of this discussion might be happening on the 2000+ post American Disc Golf Tour thread, which is full of other vitriol. Comments on broadcast issues only, please.
The ESPN-3 broadcast this afternoon had positives and negatives IMHO. Video quality was super, how it was covered shows that the camera-people need to learn more about disc golf which could come with experience. Replays were almost instantaneous.
Commentary was mixed. Billy Crump was very good with those in the disc golf community, however if this ESPN-3 was trying to reach a broader audience terms like hyzer/anhyzer need to be explained--e.g., a right to left shot. Barry Schultz was adequate when he was connected and not playing. I think a 2-person anchor would have had better commentary for the general public.
Can we get the ESPN-3 people to cover an event like the USDGC?
Thoughts?
