What really sad day Peter Alliss passed away I would loved to have met him and listen to his golfing stories I could listen to him all day such a real gent he'll be sadly missed
The one thing I miss about the old days, and these days existed into the 1980's, is the wound golf ball. I would like to see this b all come back. It spun like crazy, which meant that even professional mishits from the tee created difficult recovery shots. But by eliminating this high spinning ball, golf has virtually eliminated this second shot, the creative, high-spinning recovery. Long and straight now. I suppose it is too late to recover wooden shafts, but we could certainly go back to the balata ball.
Vale a tremendous voice and lover of great golf and commentary Peter my good sir... ❤️
RIP Peter Allis
Oh, wow....haven’t been watching the news since the election. I am sorry to hear this about Mr. Aliss. My comment was going to be that when some people speak, it’s worth listening to and Peter was one of them. What a great life he must have lived in the sweet times which he grew up and played. He was quite accomplished with 30 or so professional victories, but his announcing was spot on. Not only was his voice and vocabulary spot on, but his accent and knowledge of the game rounded into one of the best announcers ever, earning him a place in the golfing hall of fame, much deserved, I might add. We are losing and have lost some real treasures which is very sad. Mr. Aliss, I enjoyed your work. RIP, sir as I consider you a great man of golf for your entire body of work......thank you.
The comments seem about right. I would say Nicklaus had his moments, though. :)
You fear that in years to come his like wont exist.But just be replaced with a person who ticks as many boxes as possible for the broadcast.
aka an NPC
Arnold Palmer, Seve Ballesteros and Tiger Woods were The most exciting players. Nicklaus was the best ever, but not the most exciting and charismatic player.
Arnold and Seve were gentlemen. Tiger, not so much. I’m still convinced that he could become a gentleman someday if he is willing to abide by the rules of decent society. He’s doing better of late, however, gentleman or no, he has played the greatest golf to ever be played. Is he the best ever? Arguably and probably, but no one can compare to Seve. He was so great and maybe for an instant, just an instant, was the greatest player that ever lived. That instant is enough to get my vote.
@@martysykes3221 As a Brit I love Seve, our Ryder cup hero, but he was no gentleman, either in his sporting life or private life, ask his wife or Nick Price or even John Paramore.
@@mikewalker1885: His wife doesn’t count. It takes two.
@@martysykes3221 he was a serial adulterer with several mistresses, hardly gentlemanly behaviour.
