"Get Golf" At Swamp Safari

By Janice Billie

BIG CYPRESS - On Feb.19, a film crew from PGA Tour Productions spent the day at Billie Swamp Safari shooting scenes for the program Get Golf. The program airs on the USA Network on Sunday mornings at 8:30 a.m.

The host of the show is actor John O’Hurley, who many remember as J. Peterman on the hit show Seinfeld. He has also been the host of the televisions show To Tell The Truth and acted in commercials.

O’Hurley and the crew were joined by President/Acting Chairman Mitchell Cypress and several Safari employees. The shoot included scenes with a ten foot alligator, swamp buggies and airboats. It was a beautiful day and the video shoot was fun and eventful. Tourists and visitors of the Safari looked on, and O’Hurley graciously took time to sign autographs and pose with them for snapshots.

A 30-minute feature highlighting the Billie Swamp Safari produced by PGA Tour productions will air in the same episode as the Get Golf scenes shot with O’Hurley. The episode is tentatively scheduled for airing on March 10 and will re-air on April 21.

Billie Swamp Safari employees Jonathon Vasquez, Terry Yates, Gus Batista and Kim Royal did an outstanding job assisting the production crew. The alligator did a pretty good job too.
