This golf broadcaster's weekly note cards are a work of art



Sports broadcasters do a lot of preparation before calling a game. That frequently includes putting together play-by-play sheets and note cards filled with various factoids and relevant information to reference during the telecast.

Golf Channel anchor and host Whit Watson has gotten into the habit of posting his broadcast cheat sheet every week before calling a tournament, and it’s pretty cool to see.

Watson appears to use a variety of markers in order to highlight and represent different things that he might want to mention and discuss on the broadcast. While some broadcasters reference enormous sheets of paper on air, Watson uses small note cards as his well of information during the telecast.

Some of the reference points that Watson includes on his note cards are the tournament’s history and previous winners, information about the course and where the event is being played, relevant statistics, the PGA Tour schedule and its corresponding winners, and the other broadcasters working alongside Watson for the tournament.

These note cards give some good insight into how a broadcaster, in golf or any other sport, gets ready for calling a game. Take a look for yourself, as his most recent one is for the Wyndham Championship this week at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina.
