Blind Ranking: Golf Announcer Cliches

You've heard them all before—over, and over, and over again. Sure they're cliche, but aren't they also a little endearing?

Honestly, the more we think about broadcast announcer cliches, we wonder if they're actually kind of...endearing? Especially in a niche sport like golf that's become not-so-niche in recent history, some of those IYKYK elements of watching it on TV, they're the kind of things that are for us, the OGs.

From "He's a great player in his own right," when referring to a pro caddie to the infamous "this from a moment ago," here's how Dan's ranking shook out.

Don't miss Dan on Golf LIVE from Los Angeles every Monday at 10 a.m. PDT/1 p.m. EDT
