Is there any commentator more annoying than Notah Begay, he never has any worthwhile insight. I think the only reason the Golf Channel employs him is he has a relationship with Tiger.

I'm more annoyed by Mark Rolfing going out of his way to pronounce Notah's name correctly.

I've always found Gary McCord to be extremely grating. It's obvious he wants to come off as witty and clever but most of the time his comments have a corny and scripted vibe. He's certainly no David Feherty.
On the flip side, Jim Mackay (Bones) is outstanding and I'd like to see him get more airtime in the future.

He tries to steal the show from the players by constantly making comments about himself....a cardinal sin for an announcer. |

There are a number of announcers more annoying than Notah Begay.

None of them annoy me. If I'm able to watch golf, it's all good.

I'd agree that Begay hasn't really said or done anything to distinguish himself, but I wouldn't say that makes him annoying. Just unremarkable, but I think that applies to most on course commenters.
Also agree that when annoying golf commentator comes up the words "McCord" usually follow in short order.
I think what makes Bones refreshing is that he brings the caddie perspective, and his delivery reflects that.

Semper FI Notah is a soft talker who doesn't really assert himself on air. For me, I find that refreshing. I did follow him around at a golf tournament in 1998 for the better part of 18 holes. Extremely personable and a talented golfer. Hit a flop shot off hardpan thirty feet up and only twenty feet out. Quite the shot. |

Thankfully, they’re no longer in the booth, but Brent Mussberger, who knew absolutely nothing about golf, but still was the lead at the Masters and Chris Berman, the biggest blowhard who knew nothing, but thought he knew it all. Lannie Wadkins, who who won’t STFU, and needs to say 100 words when 12 will do is the current leader in the clubhouse. IMHO. |

Refreshing is a good way to describe it. |

You don't see him much anymore, but Peter Jacobson absolutely sucked. Maybe that's why.

I'm becoming a fan of "Bones" too. I also like Roger Maltby. Like a lot of you, I'm growing tired of McCord.
