A virtual flag so we can see the hole?

April 15, 2010

Len Berman posted this on his That's Sports website: "Subscriber V.I. has a great suggestion. Since the virtual first down marker is such a success in football, he asks: 'In golf I find it hard to see the hole on TV. How about a virtual miniature flag in the hole?'"

As one (or one of the few) who embraced the glow puck (official name: FoxTrax) on NHL telecasts on Fox for a couple of years in the '90s, I'm on board.
