Video: Okay, We'll Let You Go Ivor Robson
/Easily the most famous first tee announcer the game has ever known is hanging up his mic and can drink the tallest glasses of water he likes, as Ivor Robson worked his final event Sunday in Dubai.
The European Tour did a swell job saying goodbye to the distinctive voice. But is there any greater compliment than the spot-on impersonations by players who aren't exactly supposed to be taking notes at the time Robson was usually clearing his throat, saying "I'll let you go" and then announcing their names
These all kind of speak for themselves...
After this week, the first tee will never sound the same again. 🎙 https://t.co/jYB4iAHVND

And this August ESPN.com feature from Michael Collins was excellent too, particularly Adam Scott's impersonation.
