| Golf Channel's first 3D broadcast: Viewing audience reaction Posted: 16 Jan 2011 07:41 AM PST By GolfChannel.com Team Posted: January 16, 2011
Rich Lerner (play-by-play), Curt Byrum (analyst) and Steve Sands (on course, interviews) called the 3D action on Saturday and will be back again Sunday. Viewers need a 3D-compatible set, glasses and a set-top connected to the TV with an HDMI cable. The first two hours of coverage Sunday (4:30-6:30 p.m. ET) will feature the green at the second hole and holes three and four, followed by a two-hour replay. The final two live hours (8:30-10:30 p.m. ET) will feature the 16th green and holes 17 and 18. Below are some comments sent to the on-air team during Saturday's inaugural broadcast.
This is the way golf must be seen. I've watched football and basketball and they are fairly good but the contours in this broadcast really make you feel you are there. Now it will be hard to watch a regular HD broadcast!!! Can't wait for the back nine. Jim, Punta Gorda, Fla. Watching the 3D golf image from the UK England is the best thing since sliced bread. It's just like being there. Awesome. Pete, England Sitting in Las Vegas watching the 3D golf. The depth perception on greens, bunkers and fairways is amazing! Truly stunning! Keep up good work, Andrew, Las Vegas I can't tell you how much I appreciate you guys doing a broadcast in 3D. Thank you thank you thank you. It really makes me feel like I am there and I can just about smell the breeze! Christopher D. Pratt I'm watching on my new Sony Bravia 55- inch 3D TV that I got for Christmas. I feel like I'm there with you guys. This wonderful 3D experience will no doubt be the only way I'll get the feeling of walking the fairway at a PGA event. Show Kelly Tilghman in 3D and Sony will sell a hundred thousand new 3D sets on that basis alone. Hope you'll broadcast many more 3D events. David Mills, Huntington, W.Va. It is really great to see the undulation of the greens and depth of the greenside bunkers. It gives a much better perspective of what these guys are up against. Ross, Burnsville, Minn. I watch a lot of golf on TV but nothing ever came close to this. Thanks for bring 3D to golf. Bill, Orlando, Fla. Watching the Sony Open on 3D with my wife from the main land. Amazing! Great job Sony and the Golf Channel! Brandon & Diane, Philadelphia We are enjoying the 3D golf here in Phoenix. It is really nice seeing the contours on the greens. When the caddies get in front of the cameras on the greens, it's like they are backing up into the living room. Keep up the good work. Jim and Chris, Phoenix I love that in 3D, I can see the dips and swells in the greens. Even the break I can see. 3Diculous technology. So neat. – Tony C, W.Va. I just wanted to say…The broadcast of 3D is excellent! It really provides a perspective of the slopes and elevations on the course. Also around the greens you get a much better perspective of the breaks, making them fun to read. Also it gives a great perspective of the ball flight shape on the long shots. Hope to see more of this! Cheers, Adam We are enjoying your 3D golf broadcast, we can detect the field of view and how the golf pros have to setup the shots. Special thanks for your technical staff on the camera setup we feel like we are on the edge of the green. You made history today on your first day of 3D broadcast on Golf Channel Sony Open. Thank You! Brian & Ofelia Total loving the 3D broadcast here in the UK. Liked the interview with the Sony guy and the dolphins. Best effect definitely is the camera shots of the greens. Totally get the shapes on the greens. Awesome work keep them coming.

| Golf club bar manager who groped female job applicants escapes jail Posted: 16 Jan 2011 11:22 AM PST the court heard how one of his victims said she felt "sick and disgusted" at what had happened to her, while another said she felt "ashamed". Sentencing Wharton to a three-year supervision order, Judge Michael Cartlidge, told the court: "He is a manipulative sexual predator, he's a manipulator and a bully. "All those ladies have my sincere sympathy, they should not crucify themselves, it is his fault. "He placed those girls in the most appalling position where they had no option but to comply because they were keen for employment, they wanted a job. "These were all girls who were bullied into doing this for a job." The court was told that Wharton had claimed to staff that he ran a modelling agency and was considering making them work topless behind the bar. He would use offensive language and sexist behaviour in front of female workers. The judge also ordered him to join a treatment programme, sign onto the sex offenders' register for five years and imposed a lifelong order forcing him to reveal his background to potential employers. Caroline Goodwin, defending, said: "He recognises his behaviour was simply appalling."
