What a storyteller Peter Alliss was, simply untouchable in the commentary box. He will be sadly missed. RIP Peter. Love the simple, rhythmic and graceful golf swing of John Panton, no sign of any rush or attempt to force a shot. One of the truly great Scottish players.
Gary Player said Peter Allis was one of two golfers he considered to be the greatest strikers of the ball. I watched his TV shows, including "Around with Allis" and studied his books. He went on to be a wonderful commentator.
I have been playing golf for 56 years and had 1000 lessons from 100 teachers, but found that I was learning new stuff right from the start. I look forward to hearing a compilation of his best bits of commentary - the remarks that brought wisdom and joy to us for decades.
Just magical. Made me laugh when he introduced a young Greg Norman. "You might make a few Bob if you carry on swinging like that." He didn't do too bad from the game😄
