Yes, lets. In fact, let's line them up with yours.

Yours: "But TV does not change sounds."

His: Yes, we sweeten the sounds of the tee shot on PGA broadcasts.

Yours: "The sounds heard at home may be easier to hear , but they are the same sounds you would hear being close to the action at a live event. They are never altered or changed."

His: As for the thought you relayed expressed by someone on the internet that the home viewer hears what the on-site fan hears, that's nonsense. The home viewer hears so much more than what the on-site fan hears, both "actual" sounds and sweetened or enhanced sounds.

Yours: "The swoosh at the tee is what you would hear standing next to Tiger."

His: We make the swing and the contact with the ball sound more powerful by upping the low mid-range a bit (800 Hz-1 KHz), dropping off the brightness of the upper range just a little (2.5 KHz-5KHz) and increasing the decay time of the impact with the ball very, very slightly.

Yours: "I can tell you for a fact that no American network broadcast alters or changes the actual sounds heard at an event."

His: Yes, we sweeten the sounds of the tee shot on PGA broadcasts.

I know, I know. Now you will claim that you and Larry agree. You will somehow in your little mind find a way to convince yourself that you never really said all those things.

You need help.
