So what's it like seeing Tiger/Phil and any of the pros hit a ball? Different sound, ball flight etc?
I can relate a story from last year's Traveler's Championship. We were tent side at 18 and across the way was the electronic scoreboard and a drive distance thingy. Bubba watson was playing with 2 no names and their driving distance was displayed on the board after they hit. I do not remember which was who's but the display read 352, 347 and 315.

352? WTF?

amazing.
