I just got off the phone with a friend who works for a CBS affiliate who provides production assistance at west coast events. He confirmed they sweeten the audio from the tee mic... "slightly, but not unnaturally" according to him. He stated that they alter the sound to match what "viewers expect to hear.'
"The natural sound of a golf swing, even a pro's does not coincide with the visual perception of the power of the swing. We make the swing and the contact with the ball sound more powerful."
He will send me an email in the AM and I'll cut and paste it here. He'll address the crowd noise issue as well.
I may have to take the pyana man off the ignore list long enough to see if he's still covering his ears and singning la la la la la la la la la.
Edited to add: Yep...he is.
