USGA Opens TV Studio Complete With Non-Conforming Grooves

Dak Dillon of Newscast Studio reports on the USGA opening a new broadcast facility to "make announcements, produce original content and facillitate the participation of USGA guests in outside broadcasts (providing a remote location)."

Dillon says the "sets most unique element is the desk, patterned after a golf club."

The United States Golf Association teed off a flexible studio this summer, part of a broadcast facility upgrade at its Far Hills, New Jersey headquarters.

The studio will be used to make announcements, produce original content and facilitate the participation of USGA guests in outside broadcasts (providing a remote location).

“Its complex curves and cantilevered top were a fun challenge for the artisans at Gotham Scenic, who fabricated its base by building it up – layer by layer – and then hand polishing it to a lustrous finish.”

But about those grooves...
