/While Tim Finchem Was Distracting Us Sunday...
/NBC used this new graphic to show where various driving distances finished on the 7th hole at Dove Mountain. I only saw it by watching the re-broadcast after reader Steve asked if I had seen it. Not coincidentally, this aired at the time Tim Finchem was live on Golf Channel talking about the tour's opposition to the anchoring ban.
It's not often we get good visual innovations in golf broadcasting that help put architectural features into context, but this one certainly does.
Also kind of amazing that Ian Poulter had the long drive.
