Talksport was saddened by Bob Bubka’s death – our iconic and mythical golf
Once I asked Bob why he denied why he was sailed in the sunset and in the glory of a separate emission career.
“You could spend every day on the beach,” I said.

His response has been something I will never forget.
“But Sean, this is my beach.”
After all, more than fresh accent is required to be “golfer’s voice”.
60 years of experience is required. It takes a passion for the game that plays anyone else. It takes respect of the icons, such as Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods.
Bob gave him the most popular voice of golfers, and he gave him a sense of goal goals, and he dedicated his life to cover well.
No one knew more than Bob about golf – and with his audience he was already fascinated by the iconic voice – he would always tell a story worth listening.

Our world is about characters: figures that develop a link to the listener – and Bob will always be among our biggest protagonists.
Like Alan Brazil, Bob had ever been to TalkSport and began to transform the world’s most important sports radio in the beginning.
In the last 26 years, Rupert Bell Bob was a partner in the crime, and there is no better person to walk through that journey.
“Radio are voices,” Rupertek said Talksport.com. “It’s definitely not when you heard Bob Bobka talking, he caught you.
“Next, iconic, with a wonderful and unique style. For more than 25 years, its distinctive American tones and entertaining teammates entertained.
“The love of golf game shone, along with embarrassing and almost rebellious elements, which is not only for the enjoyment of listening, in my case – to work.”

Bob were the legends of the game – including the main winners of all time: Nicklaus and Woods.
When I first met in 2022, Bob put serious health challenges to travel around the world around the world in St Andrews Open.
It was easy to talk to me at the time why he moved the sky and the earth to visit the golf home last time.
Every time I reach the sign saying St. Andrews “, something magical is happening” Bob told Talksport.com In 2022.
“The level of preview goes up. My level of excitement rises. My level of excitement rises.
“I can’t put your finger. I can’t duplicate. If I could bottle and sell, I would be a million.

“It’s started. I’ve been here enough here, but every time I feel blessed.
“I’m not here for money. I’d do that for free, I would pay.”
They were friends with Nicklaus, who invited Bob along the week when he becomes the honorary citizen of St Andrews.
Woods is a very private person, but he greeted a member of the media in that week when the press conference was extracted from a stress, and Bob was.
Rupert recalled: “His talkport began life in the late nineties, which joined Tiger Woods.
“Our paths 2000. They covered a tournament in 2000. When Tiger was playing. Bob put Geoffrey with boycott and had no trace.

“Bob twisted when Tiger Woods arrived, especially when it came to the Age of Nicklaus and Arnold. That tiger always seemed to come out and hello.
“Bob and I would see in two championships, and it was never sad. It’s been a very head, and when Bob had to work when he loved a party. It’s hard for the work, it’s bigger than life.
“But above all, the love of golf traditions and heritage always revealed, more than around Ryder CupBob wrote a book. The biennial championship was very important for him and loved the American flag to fly, but also in the face of distasteful performances.
“Later, Bob’s health was difficult to travel and his latest last opened in St. Andrews in 2022.
“He loved being there, and the delights driving a motorized wheelchair around the city were fantastic.
“But he also loved it was interaction with the listeners of TalkSport and I know, being part of the TalkSport family was so important to fight for him with bad health.

“When they are physically weak, this voice never failed. Covering the main will never be the same without a delicious voice that draws us in the wonderful sport of golf”.
Once I embarrassed I was ashamed, saying I was heard on the way to school.
But it was the last compliment. Bob later was the prettiest journalist in sport, and more than two decades later, no one took the crown.
TalkSport will always be a part of what makes it so special, and we will not be the same without him.
We will miss you, Bob. Rest in peace.
