CBS telecast changes - Amanda Balionis, Trackman

[nevets88]

Amanda Balionis will be a regular on the telecast and Trackman on all 18 tees, hope they show more data points. Wonder if that means there's a TM on every hole or do they move some around?

That's a little over $500K in Trackman units. Im sure CBS is good for it! I wouldn't mind more of Balionis.

Good start, but they also need to show more golf on CBS broadcast in the first place. 18 trackman monitors don't mean much if they're not going to show the tee shots in the first place.

18 holes of trackman isn't cheap I wonder how much Amanda Balionis charges per hole

I would guess the labor involved to setup, integrate, maintain, etc... probably in the long run going to cost more?

The other thing - Trackman is cool, but protracer is really what I'd want to see. Hopefully that's what they're using it for, but I don't have a ton of faith in CBS.

Mucho agreed. Amanda can wear her golf spikes to bed and I wouldn't kick her out.
