  • A celebration of the inimitable 'voice of golf' Peter Alliss, revealing the man behind the microphone. Renowned for his charismatic and unique style of commentary, Peter was also one of the top golfers of his era and has quietly raised millions for his wheelchair charity. There are anecdotes from the world of golf, celebrities and family members which give an insight into this charming, witty man. Contributors include Peter's wife Jackie, Tom Watson, Gary Lineker, Sir Terry Wogan, Chris Evans, Sir Bruce Forsyth, Darren Clarke, Jimmy Tarbuck, Gary Player, Hazel Irvine and Steve Rider. The programme is narrated by Sue Johnston.
    There is also a chance to relive top moments from Peter's popular programmes such as Pro-Celebrity Golf, A Round with Alliss and A Golfer's Travels.
    Alliss was a familiar figure on the BBC before setting the tone for golf commentary worldwide. His voice was iconic in the world of sports commentary, but then so was this golfer, broadcaster and gentleman.

    Peter was just brilliant, loved by so many, and so badly missed.

    It was in 2015 as I remember and I was playing in an 11 hole competition in respect of the opening of the new clubhouse at Seaford Head GC in East Sussex. It was on the Saturday after the final round of the Masters ( so 6 days later ) Peter had been asked by someone involved in the club or the opening committee if he could make it to officially open the clubhouse and present prizes. Now I guess he got back from the US on the Monday or Tuesday and most at his age would want to put their feet up ? Peter though was there to do the ceremonies, present prizes, give a speech and did not rush off pronto after all was done. His lovely wife did the driving and both were absolutely charming and gracious and as it was a real pleasure to have them both there. How many would have gone out of their way to turn up after such a busy time as he must have had ?

    Simply the greatest commentator in world Golf, growing up in the 80s watching the Masters in Spring & the Open in summer, Peter's voice and Alex Hay wwere synonymous with these events. Thank you for the upload fantastic watch. 👏👏👏👏

    A one off, the greatest commentator on any sport and he had been there and done that (and suffered at times) so he had the right to say what he said about Jean van de Velde and other golfers. I wish I could see the full commentary from Peter when Miguel Ángel Jiménez was doing his warm up, it is priceless. The clips of Andy Prodger (Faldo's caddie) are spot on, but the 'Carol Vorderman' clip is Peter at his best. As many have said a true gentleman and very sadly missed.

    I know it's said a lot when world renowned life superstars pass away , that he/she will never see the likes of again. I can honestly say , this is the case with this man . He is responsible for the love of golf on our screens , the many many now professional golfers out there , and the down to earth view of life in general on and off the course. Sadly missed and never ever forgotten.

    peter had that endearing ability to bring us into his life,
    and make everyone a part of it, through his commentary
    you felt included and somehow involved as a close friend,
    he touched so many hearts and minds, god bless him.

    A voice of ABC golf coverage in the states. Always great commentary. Went from Longhurst to Alliss as the most venerable of voices.

    I remember watching 87 masters and mize chips in on 11 to beat Greg and win..."and they say the meek shall inherit the earth"...just timeless commentary....now you watch the CBS version when that happens and the commentary is just screams....now that's the difference...just a class act at the correct times!

    I remember him at Scottish open at Loch lomond, camera scanning surrounding hills as clouds roll over them. He says in a kind of Scottish slang " aye, up where the monsters live". Brilliant.

    Just found this on your channel Neil whilst googling Peter Allis. My favourite sports commentator along with Richie Benaud. So much more than a commentator, and even better imo that he often got under the skin of the woke.

    17:26 Paul McGinley is absolutely right, Jean Van de Velde did play some cracking stuff at Carnoustie; many forget just how well he putted, to my mind, if he'd had someone like Fanny Sunesson or Dave Musgrave on the bag that day, he may have won at a canter. That Caddie was more concerned with how he looked IMHO.

    For me; it's an absolute crime that this man wasn't knighted, IMHO, he should have been given a peerage. People seem to forget that he was a pretty good player in his day; aren't he and his father the only Father and son to have competed in the Ryder Cup?
