Early lifeChirkinian was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Golf coverageChirkinian was known as the 'father of televised golf' for the impact he had on golf broadcasting.[2] He came to the attention of CBS after he impressed with his direction of the 1958 PGA Championship.[2] Recruited by the network, who had no one with expertise in the relatively new field of golf broadcasting, he went on to be executive producer of CBS's golf coverage from 1959 until 1996.[4][5] During his time at CBS, he was nicknamed 'The Ayatollah' for his brusque, uncompromising approach to directing broadcasts.[6] Chirkinian was particularly well regarded for the coverage of the Masters Tournament that he oversaw for four decades, working closely with the authorities at Augusta National to ensure they were satisfied.[7] Chirkinian was responsible for a number of innovations in the filming and presentation of golf. He ensured as many microphones as possible were placed around the golf course to pick up the sounds of the tournament and golfers' conversations, rather than having commentators talk over silent footage.[1] He showed as many golf shots as possible, cutting quickly from player to player to keep up the pace of the broadcast, unafraid of focusing on the game's stars.[1][5] The use of multiple cameras was introduced during Chirkinian's tenure, including high-angle cameras mounted in trees and on blimps for the first time.[5] Chirkinian said that he was most proud of being the first to display golfers' scores relative to par, rather than cumulatively, making it simpler to work out how they were faring relative to the rest of the field.[1] Most of all, Chirkinian thought it important to allow coverage to focus on golfers and the shots they made, and was critical of recent innovations{{examples|date=November 2013}} in golf broadcasting that he saw as distracting and unnecessary.[1][2] Other mediaChirkinian appeared as himself in the Kevin Costner film Tin Cup. Honors and awardsChirkinian won four Emmys and two Peabody Awards during his career.[5] In 2007 he was awarded the Sports Lifetime Achievement Award and inducted into the Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame.[8] At the time of his death, he was scheduled to be inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame on May 9, 2011.[1][9] At the induction ceremony, a message Chirkinian videotaped shortly before his death was broadcast to the assembled golfing luminaries.[3] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{cite web |url=http://www.pgatour.com/news/2011/02/10/dolch-column-chirkinian.html |title=Chirkinian's impact on televised golf can't be overstated |author=Craig Dolch |date=February 10, 2011 |work=PGATour.com |publisher=PGA Tour |accessdate=March 4, 2011}} 2. ^1 2 3 {{cite news |title=Frank Chirkinian, 84, Father of Televised Golf |author=Richard Goldstein |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/06/sports/golf/06chirkinian.html |newspaper=The New York Times |date=March 5, 2011 |accessdate=March 5, 2011}} 3. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.pgatour.com/2011/r/05/09/halloffame-ceremony/index.html |title=Els, five others complete journey into Hall of Fame |date=May 9, 2011 |work=PGATour.com |publisher=PGA Tour |accessdate=May 10, 2011 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110513230243/http://www.pgatour.com/2011/r/05/09/halloffame-ceremony/index.html |archivedate=May 13, 2011 |df= }} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/6267041/27755460 |author=Steve Elling |title=Father of golf broadcasting dies at 84 |work=CBSSports.com |publisher=CBS Interactive |date=March 4, 2011 |accessdate= March 5, 2011}} 5. ^1 2 3 {{cite news |title=Masters Tournament golf broadcasting pioneer dies |author=John Boyette |url=http://chronicle.augusta.com/sports/golf/2011-03-04/golf-broadcasting-pioneer-dies?v=1299331642 |newspaper=The Augusta Chronicle |date=March 4, 2011 |accessdate=March 5, 2011}} 6. ^{{cite journal |author=Guy Yocom |title=My Shot: Frank Chirkinian |magazine=Golf Digest |date=September 2003 |url=http://www.golfdigest.com/magazine/myshot_gd0309?currentPage=1 |accessdate=March 5, 2011}} 7. ^{{cite web |author=Sal Johnson |url=http://www.golfobserver.com/blog/blognews/buzz/2011/03/05/storyoftheday |title=Story of the day for March 5th, remembering Frank Chirkinian |work=GolfObserver.com |date=March 5, 2011 |accessdate=March 5, 2011}} 8. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.sportsvideo.org/portal/hof/articles/publish/Frank_Chirkinian.shtml |title=Frank Chirkinian |work=Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame |publisher=Sports Video Group |accessdate=March 4, 2011}} 9. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.pgatour.com/2011/r/02/10/chirkinian-wghof/index.html |title=TV pioneer Chirkinian inducted into World Golf Hall of Fame |date=February 10, 2011 |work=PGATour.com |publisher=PGA Tour |accessdate=March 4, 2011 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110214141456/http://www.pgatour.com/2011/r/02/10/chirkinian-wghof/index.html |archivedate=February 14, 2011 |df= }} External links
