Not sure how much it is the TV guys or the actual Masters people.

I read an article in Golf Digest a few years ago while waiting at the doctor's office and it said the rules for broadcasting the Masters are INSANE!

They MUST say bunker when referring to a sand trap, there are other names they can't say too but I forget.

There was other stuff about what they can show too. They can't show the course marshalls or anything like that. Everything must be completely within the rules etc.
