Adding strike sound at Sentry TOC

It seems the GC is adding the sound€ of the club striking the ball on certain iron shots when they do not get real audio. It sounds horrible and squeaky/high pitched. Anyone else notice this??

I don't believe they are. I think they might be using those parabolic directional microphones to pick up the strike. They are very sensitive and the sound you get is like when you are standing right next to the player. When you mix that sound with a shot of the player from a slight distance it probably sounds like its being superimposed but it isn't.

They are 100% adding sound. Vegas hit a wedge earlier and it sounded like a full bore driver.

Yep, right on. It’s so unrealistically awful isn’t it?!

I noticed it too Ace200. Kevin Chappell hit what looked like a 7 or 8 iron, and it sounded like a wood. More of a ding sound to it than a short iron. Don't know why they feel the need to fake the sounds.

I watched a couple guys hit wedges into 10 today and the sound was a driver....terrible move GC.

Jeez. Now I have to watch the rebroadcast.

I can’t fathom why they would take the time and effort to do it, but some of you guys sure seem convinced.

You honestly think some guy is in a TV production truck adding impact noices? Hum. Weird and tedious.

Impact sound may around different and distorted from different angles mixed with wind blowing from all directions

Working in video production, I don’t really see any feasible way they would do this live for impact sounds. The timing would have to be impeccable and one production flub and the jig is up. Sweetening crowd roars (WWE does this on their live broadcasts frequently) or nature sounds like trees rustling or birds chirping is much more feasible and plausible.

All bets are off though for rebroadcasts and DVD packages or the like.

anyone hear the faint sound of propeller driven planes, very annoying and obviously fake.

if they could fake the moon landing im sure they could fake this...

I would prefer they insert the sound of swords clashing or maybe Parsons screaming something inappropriate after smoking a carton of menthols. Given the dramatic commentary we sometimes hear perhaps they could insert battlefield sounds includijg the sounds of golfers yellijg for their mothers after a missed putt.

...and this is why this post was started...many people have heard a sound that is not natural...so maybe the "jig" is in fact up.

Si Woo Kim hit a wedge that sounded like a driver. I noticed it as well.

I've been saying it for years. That's why they all seem to sound the same. Its too easy to have a sound programmed to a button. dude swings, somebody hits the button. They have all these people sitting around in a production facility watching this video. I don't think this would be difficult.

Yes it’s pretty ridiculous.

How do they think we wouldn’t notice this:

no wonder amateurs try to crush their wedges

got that happy gilmore soundboard going

I was wondering if anyone else heard those "booming" wedge shots. Why did somebody think that was a good idea???

Exactly. How do you, as somebody who works in video production, explain the fact that the sound of the wedge shot that Knock it Close linked sounds very similar to a driver? I'm not saying there isn't an explanation, I'm genuinely curious.

Nice FOX trick on their USGA broadcasts.

it sounds like the falcons when they were trying to add fake fan noise

I'm more concerned with whose idea it was to let loose some waterhead audio guy, in the sound trailer, mashing a big blue button with a piece of duct tape on it with "BONG!" written in sharpie.

It's all those years of training playing Golden Tee Golf on video machines. You get to time the hit with the video.

Damn...I knew I should have plugged more quarters in that box. Now I'd have me a great gig, faking impact on the PGA Tour

hey that was the faint shrill of the ill fated Eastern Meadow lark

Or, the difference between the African swallow or the European swallow

(Let's see who bites....)
