      It probably is, but you know that the tv production is faking impact sounds 60-70% of the time, when there mics don't get near enough. Especially when they are filming putts 30-40y across the green, but also on full shots.

    After that par save from the collar any golfer knew it was “one of those rounds” and then the lucky bounces on consecutive approach shots on the back nine, which he birdied, just the icing on the cake.

    About 35 years ago I was following Fred around at the Westchester Classic. On the par five fifth hole there is a refreshment stand and bathrooms. The bathrooms had no signs saying “men” or “women”. Fred was standing there looking at the two doors. I pointed to the men’s room and said “It’s this one, Fred”. That is the totality of my interactions with Freddy.
    Changing topic: So Jim Nance is Fred’s teammate on the University of Houston golf team. The first time they played together and Jim heard the sound of Fred’s club hitting the ball, he said he knew he (Jim) would never make it to the Tour.
