There was just no good place for the cameraman to take pictures of that spot due to the lake being so close to the green there.
There's no excuse for not having a reverse view though. Or they could shell out a few $$ on a decent telephoto lens and get a shot from the other side of the lake Or get a boat. Or just get wet. They could always buy a WGT towel from the pro shop.
I've been there before from about the same distance. I left the marker where it was, figuring it was centre hole, hit it 2 feet too hard and it went in.
Pretty poor effort from WGT though, especially considering that's a new hole location. I cut them some slack on the original courses and hole locations but they should know better by now. Funnily enough though it seems to be getting worse, several of the views on the new holes at Kiawah are a joke.
