More On Masters 3D...
...from a Sony release:
Sony Electronics will support the effort not only as a sponsor of the 3D telecast, but also as an industry expert, along with supplying the latest advances in professional camera equipment and its 3D-capable televisions. Comcast will join in the production by providing the distribution channels necessary to deliver the content free to households throughout the United States. Additionally, Comcast and IBM, the Tournament’s technology partner, will combine efforts to offer the 3D feed via www.masters.com.
Two hours of live afternoon 3D coverage will be available each day beginning during Wednesday’s Par 3 Contest on April 7 and continuing throughout the four Tournament rounds, Thursday, April 8 – Sunday, April 11.

I am a little surprised that with the 3D announcement that there weren't some venues announced for viewing the final round. For example, the World Golf Hall of Fame has a theater complex, including an IMAX. I'm sure that technically this isn't possible to do yet, but that would be pretty cool assuming 3D is as interesting for golf as we've been told.
I remember maybe 40 years ago when Indianapolis broadcasts were shown at Memorial Coliseum (Portland), which had 10,000+ seats
It would be interesting to really "do-up" a venue though(World Golf HOF, for example...) - have putting contests, maybe a fake bunker or two for some short-game splashes...perhaps a very decent immersive "vitual golf" experience showcasing Augusta(which doesn't exist for any video game golf except for Links 2003, and it's excellent, lol)
I see plenty of possibilities - but my imagination in this area(3d sports broadcasting) knows no bounds...now back to my regularily-scheduled menial labor, lol.
Cheers all,
