Fwiw... I met Alyssa today and we talked alot. First off...ok...ok...ok...she's frickin awesome, sweet, and smart as a whip! Yah..I told her I was "that guy" and she laughed and she proceeded to tell me she gets the go ahead and from everyone involved to "do her thing" and "get the shot". I STILL think there are better ways to get the shot without lying directly in front of a player, but you can't argue with her determination and professionalism. The PDGA world is lucky to have her involved because she does love the sport and what she can do for it.
Technically... she showed me her new camera she is using which makes ZERO noise during the shoot and takes 24fps photos. Crazy....24fps!
I'm still shocked the PDGA allows photogs to get that close and lay on the ground in front of a tee, so I can't diss her for taking advantage of that. So I do publicly apologize to Alyssa for my negative remarks, I should of directed it to the TD/PDGA!
lol...
And to those that say pros should be able to handle this kind of stuff..perhaps you're right...again...this was my first time seeing it and it was a surprise..especially in such a high stakes round/event.
