I don't think that a 'color' commentator must have been a great or even a good player. The must be able to give us a little insight to what a player may be thinking about a particular shot, not just the facts (yardage, wind..etc.). It's a real talent to do that with a few words. Less is better for television. However, I have the PGA on XM radio that I listen to on the way home from work, and they do a fabulous job of painting a picture with their words.
