Joe Buck On Calling Golf, Jack Buck As America's Guest

If you're enjoying his always strong play-by-play on the baseball playoffs, you'll enjoy Ryan Asselta's Golf.com interview with Fox Sports' Joe Buck.

Besides noticeably more humility about the difficulty of covering golf, I loved this anecdote about his legendary father's passion for playing from city to city.

You were very close to your dad, legendary broadcaster Jack Buck. How much was golf a part of his life?

My dad was an awful golfer, but he loved it. And I saw from a very young age what a release golf was for him. So once I started covering baseball and was on that tour, well, if you're in Houston for three days, you play River Oaks. If you're in Chicago, you go play Medinah. In San Francisco, you play Olympic. We set up a golf tour that Tim Finchem himself couldn't have set up. It was awesome.
