I have no idea what the qualifications are for a great coach, but for a commentator or an analyst, I just want you to have played golf on the PGA Tour and be interesting and smart.

I think Golf Channel for all their faults have done a pretty good job at this. BC I disagree with a lot, but he's well spoken, thought provoking and knows golf. Frank Nobilo might be my favorite analyst in sports right now and I always enjoy what he has to say. Then you add in some Faldo who I think as a colour man is the best in the game and you can see that the qualifications are just pretty wide open.

Just be freaking knowledgeable and interesting and make your points well and you can do the job. I don't care if you only played on the PGA tour for a cup of coffee, or you won 6 majors, I will listen if you are well spoken and interesting. Ever listened to Jack Nicklaus talk about golf? That would suck to listen to him break down golf for 6 hours of covereage.
