College Athlete with Down Syndrome Wows Pro Golfers

I handled location audio for this Golf Channel feature on a college golfer with Down syndrome who impressed professional players at a sponsored event. Human interest sports stories are some of the most rewarding production work — the emotional content is real, the subject is often a natural in front of a camera, and the golf course provides a beautiful visual backdrop.

The acoustic challenge with this kind of feel-good sports feature is similar to any outdoor golf coverage: wind management, crowd ambient from the gallery, and the need to be in the right position to capture natural, authentic dialogue between the subject and the touring professionals they’re meeting.
