How does the TV camera follow a golf ball in flight?

QUESTION: I've noticed on TV how precise a camera can follow a golf ball from tee off until it lands. How do they do that? ANSWER:

They are well practiced, but they are also a long ways off. They pick up the ball off the tee, then zoom in so you can see it. Notice that you don't see it right away, you see the golfer pick up his tee or whatever first. This gives the camera man time to get the ball on camera appropriately.
