Hale was a great player whom I really admired. But God was he ever mean.

Jim MaKay was too abrasive and lacked a smooth tone to be a good golf announcer.

[@Left-Foot-Brake]

Nah, I liked him. He's the voice of 80's American Sports.

[@Colin_1977]

You have a point. I think Chris Schenkel would’ve been a more appropriate announcer for his tone.

[@nicholasschroeder3678]

I loved him for the Olympics. He always seemed like a less sugary Mr. Rogers--like the best of neighbors. I can't see or hear abrasive.🤔
