We can do that. I can see my dad while I'm there. Only others outside the area are @TerryP and @LSUpride123 and @65Grad
The most important thing is having a good teacher. I assume it's the same with golf. My guitar teacher is an old friend who has made his living teaching guitar, piano, drums, bass, etc for 40 years. He is patient which is important because I don't always follow instructions. A lot of things he has taught me contradict stuff I have seen in those YouTube videos. Have you tried YouTube for golf information?
The question I'm about to ask is based on the assumption you don't do TV work on a full time basis. Isn't it tough to be producer/director on a part time basis? I ask because I did some work for CBS at golf tournaments and got an inside look inside the production trucks. I'm also assuming your staff isn't big enough to require a truck.
"Truck" meaning one of the 18-wheel production units the networks use? Nope. But we're doing a 3 camera setup (we sometimes add a 4th) out of a 6-wheel production van. For what the networks are doing, part-time would be very tough, but those guys are doing some kind of sport almost every week, with a huge crew. The producer is only guiding the show in a particular direction (for instance, he's the guy who'll decide Devin White is having a big game, isolate a camera on him for replay, or give me a montage of his big plays), the director is watching monitors and calling for shots, and a technical director is actually punching up the shots on the switcher. I'm doing all 3 at once, but in a much, much smaller scale. My engineer is watching the cameras and adjusting them as the sun sets, while also running the audio board and controlling the one tape deck I have for replay. Networks have multiple engineers, multiple audio personnel, etc. I was shopping the company that built our switcher online the other day, and they now offer a switcher designed strictly for instant replay. It records up to 5 cameras at once, and allows the operator to select one or more replays and send them to the main switcher....so when the director says cue replay, the technical director punches one button that ties to the replay switcher, and that operator chooses which of his replays to send. I wish we could keep financially keep up with the technology, its amazing what's out there.
Thanks for the detailed explanation. And yes, I was referring to an 18 wheeler the networks use for remote telecasts.
When tent camping, I have an air mattress. I do that 4 or 5 weekends per year. Probably 10 weekends per year I pull my 34' 5th wheel camper. I truly enjoy tent camping, but it's a lot of work setting everything up and taking it back down. The camper is much easier in that regard.
Let's see who else is interested. I wouldn't mind coming to Squirrel Run on a Saturday morning, unless you'd like to come down here to Atchafalaya. Anyone else?
Just let me know where and when. I live in south Alabama so I'd drive over the day before, probably get in a practice round and be ready to go next morning.
