(C) GPV - 2011


Welcome to Golf Pro Video!
Below the clips and photos is a description of our company and the services we provide.

My photo of Michael Jordan smiling at Edgewood #18

I had the distinct honor to follow Michael Jordan, Jerry Rice, Charles Barkley, Ray Romano and ninety-six other sports legends around eighteen holes of golf, as a Media professional, with my HD video camera gear for the client, Harrah's Hotel, and my production company, Golf Pro Video, at the American Century Classic Celebrity Golf Tournament at Edgewood, Lake Tahoe, CA in 2009.


Here is my rare video clip of Michael Jordan hitting out of the sand trap on #17 Edgewood:


Ben Roethlisberger, the Super Bowl winning quarterback was there and signed a football carried by a little 4-year old girl, her Dad had lifted her over the fence at the lakeshore on #17 no doubt, and Ben could not refuse the little one. 


Janet Jones Gretzky, the wife of Wayne Gretzky, was the only female player on Friday's round of golf. Here is a clip of Ben Baumgartner, from "The Office" tv show, and Janet Gretzky and another athlete before her tee shot on #1 at Edgewood:




It was a beautiful day, snow on the peaks and the players were all feeling relaxed and ready for fun. Ray Romano kept asking Charles Barkley to "pull your pants up!", throughout their round on Friday.


Here is my video clip of Charles Barkley's tee shot from #18 Edgewood:



Charles hired a golf pro to help him with the 'hitch' in his swing. It lasted three holes and returned to bother Charles for the rest of Friday's round at Edgewood. Maybe he should ask for his money back?


And here is Ray Romano's tee shot from #17 Edgewood:
After his drive, Ray commented: "The Boat" as his drive went right along the fairway about 100 yards downrange! A large lake-boat engine can be heard just before Ray begins his downstroke.
