Is it just me but does the constant drone of the sponsors airships not spoil the enjoyment of most uspga tv events?

Me either.
But as a small boy, I got a ride on the Goodyear tires blimp. It was my very first flight of any kind.

No, I can't say that it does bother me. Besides, true silence will never be achieved on a golf course.

I wouldn't go so far as saying that it spoils it but I would rather it wasn't there. Having said that, I do like the view of the course that they provide.

A few weeks ago the LPGA coverage had aerial shots from a plane or blimp and the noise during ground level coverage made me mute it.
It was way over the top

I'd like to credit you with a quality pun... but I've read other posts you've made and I'm not so sure its deliberate

Is it not the camera drones the op is referring to?
I’ve started noticing them a lot more and they Do sound annoying.
First time I really noticed them was on the tiger vs big Phil match a few years back.
They sounded V loud and buzzed / hummed relentlessly.

Cant say I'd ever noticed it, maybe couldn't hear it over the shouts of" get in the hole" or " mashed potato "?

Should try playing at our place. The noise from the police cars as they depart the nearby police station is unreal.

At ours we can hear the lions and elephants being fed in the safari park.

We could hear the Lions at Whipsnade..
Different sort of noise in 'x' number of years when HS2 gets going...
Although it doesn't directly affect the club it's passing less than a mile away and its going to be a bit noisier than it is now.

We told a very gullible member the flock of sheep in a farmers field were owned by the club.
The lions would eat them before they get to the members.

Watching the PGA Tour tonight and the aerial shots are from an aircraft. (Cessna 208 Grand Caravan at 2,000 feet)
