Watching a leader in a professional golf tournament on TV, sometimes it seems like they're taking a serene and pleasant walk down an isolated fairway.
Not!
This photograph was of Tom Watson as he approached the 16th green at Del Paso Country Club in Sacramento. At the time he was the sole leader in the US Senior Open and getting most of the attention from the TV boys.
I can tell you I counted 9 different cameras pointed at him for the shot, including one atop a movable robot pillar pushed (or pulled) into position from the edge of the fairway.
The player in this group on the left of the picture wasn't in the hunt. It was one of those lonely walks for him, kind of!
Some of these guys get a little upset when a butterfly flutters in a nearby bush. Can you imagine the distraction from this traveling band of video chroniclers?
Jeez....
