The father of televised golf

Frank Chirkinian wasn't just the man who brought the Masters to television (story here). He was always working to make golf coverage better for CBS Sports, and that dedication brought Frank a little fame of his own.

There was even one time "Mr. C" was in front of the camera, and in a pretty big way. Frank played himself in one of golf fans' favorite movies, Tin Cup. He actually had some really funny lines!

What are your memories of Frank Chirkinian?
