Is it true, the bird chirps from Augusta are added by CBS? I was told this by a friend, but chose not to believe it--what can we trust if not Augusta in the spring?
I worked a major tournament event years ago (not The Masters) and far back on the property of the course (at the edge of a wooded area) was a microphone elevated on a stand. I asked someone what is was, and they told me it was for the telecast. They used it to get the sounds of the wind, the leaves moving, and the birds chirping etc. They might just record a certain segment and keep playing the same birds chirping for four days! I'm sure they want to make sure to get the native species so they don't blow their cover...."that's Hollywood."
