I've noticed during tournament telecasts when they show a graphic of a player's bio or scorecard, they always show a photo of the player, usually a 'headshot' portrait.

Here's the deal, though.  These pictures are terrible!  It's as if they catch each player at the end of a practice round and say "hey, quick photo please?" then snap off a poorly framed, poorly lit, unflattering angle, snapshot on a crappy background.

What gives here?  The production quality of the tournaments are so good now, one would think a decent photo of every player could be provided for the telecast producer to use.

Really really strange.

      Day 211 (29 Nov 24) - Friday men’s round albeit a solo foursome (temps in the 40’s, day after Thanksgiving and the average age closer to 75 - I’m a youngster at 65).  Interesting day of semi-solid play (8 of 18 GIR). Hit all four par threes in one (a first) - parred each; still had a couple 3 putt bogies; and blew up on 3 of the par 5’s (go figure)). The blow ups were some serious tree rattlers - amplifying how I got stupid and greedy instead of smart and content to just get back in the short stuff.
