A TRADITION, like no other.
Changing, would be akin to removing the manual Left Field Scoreboard at Fenway Park.
One of the other traditions at The Masters, is that everyone who knows how it works, can usually tell what's going on by the various "roars" (or at least that's the theory).
I had some friends covering the tournament for various social media sites and it's aggravating for them, as they can't use their cell phones to keep up to date with what's going on around the course.
The Masters is a big, giant magical show, manipulated to maintain the mystique & aura.
