I believe golf would be best announced by somebody like the late Bill Walton, who would joke around, tell stories and champion the greatness of the athletes who play the game at the highest levels. You can have your pithy wordsmiths, serious analysts and solemn tributes to the game's past; as a native Californian I like the open, enthusiastic dialect of my home state.
The national networks walk a tightrope in how they present the game. As a result, the broadcasts sacrifice some entertainment value in hopes of avoiding the occasional faux pas.
