You're so right. Televised golf can be at times very boring. Peter made it worth your time watching.

If he had off spoke for another 4 hours no one would have minded ,what a wonderfull speech from a wonderfull man.

RIP Sir, you made golf entertaining and your natural wit and charm a delight to behold. Yourself and Terry Wogan can have a giggle at the 19th up above.

Sad day in the golf world. There will never be another Peter Alliss.

Man is an absolute legend. Could listen to him for hours.

Sleep well legend, will miss your pearls of wisdom and wonderful anecdotes.

Shed a tear when he started talking about his parents looking down on him from heaven... now they’re together. Rip to the great ❤️

I've always been impressed with the British, the way most maintain an amount of dignity in the way they speak. I hate snobby people, but this is a guy I could sit down an have a cup of coffee with.

2021 and just saw this and I agree with you, mate. Definitely sit down for a cup of Joe with the likes of this man. 😁

Best speech ever

Could listen to him all day. If boring is at one end of the spectrum , Peter is at the other.

Just f***in' BRILLIANT!!! Thanks, Peter, for so many wonderful memories...

15 minutes. No notes. Utterly brilliant.

Like many I first got interested in golf watching A Round with Alliss. I convinced my parents to get me some clubs and 40 years later I am still playing. A great man who brought the wonderful game to so many. Thank you Peter.

His like are rare indeed....Top, top man...RIP Peter, you had a great innings.

What a Man! A man I could easily listen to for hour and hours. A man I grew up with making my sport more enjoyable and entertaining, thank Peter and rest in Peace x

RIP absolute pleasure to listen to will be sorely missed😪🙏

Brilliantly witty speech from the great man.

Heartbroken. Legend of the game. Rest in Peace Peter 🙏🏼

Must have watched this getting in for 10 times now, still as funny as the first time. Could listen to Peter all day

Peter Alliss you were an absolute Legend, Sir. The best, funniest, most humble, but mostenormously entertaining Commentator of the lot. If you could go into a department store and buy a sports commentator Peter Alliss and Cricket’s Richie Benaud would be the very best, top of the range, deluxe models you could get.

Brian Johnson's book is a good read and I'm not even a cricket fan.

No public speaker has ever been more gifted, entertaining, or funny.

Peter Alliss is that VERY VERY rare commentator.....He can provide "Color", main commentating AND analysis.....Plus he knows when to SHUT UP...and let the moment exude its power!! He was also a VERY GOOD golfer before his putting got the better of him. He glossed over his playing career: He was a multiple winner on what is now known as the European Tour He finished Top 10 ..5x in the British Open....best finish 4th He played in 8 Ryder Cups with a 43% winning record

his best finish in the british open was 8th dumbass

I love listening to Peter comment on the golf course, he was one of the few that said so much with so few words but knew when silence was called for so that the picture told the story better than any words. Truly one of the greats.

The voice of golf... RIP Peter - legend

Watched this four or five times and it never gets old. The greatest commentator of all time. Would love to meet him

I honestly didn't know Mr. Alliss before his passing and looked him up - the only regret I have now is that I didn't find this video sooner. Absolutely inspirational! RIP Sir.

How could you not like this wonderful man? RIP Peter.

My absolute favourite golf commentator. I would watch every single minute of The Open Championship that was available to be watched live. He is the king of understatement and yet he can still paint a nuance. His greatest trait was that he knew when to shut up and let the moment speak for itself! I never missed a Pro Celebrity Golf Show shown on Australian TV. Aliss is also a very good teacher and analyst.

"Waffling" (as he puts it) on a unique level: relaxed, confident, engaging, witty and very engrossing. What a talent!

Brilliantly simple as always.

What’s a man. A grand statesman and will be poorly missed . What a wonderful story teller

Go fly with the angels Peter. The British Open will never sound the same again 😢 true legend 🙏❤

*The Open

What a speaker I could listen to him all day. I presume he's upset the hierarchy in the past since he should have been knighted years ago. He's still 'bordering on the beautiful' and only looks in his 60's to me - let's hope he carry's on commentating for a good few more years to come (although it's only the British Open these days due to Sky).

What a golfer, what a commentator, what a raconteur and story teller, indeed what a man! Thank you Peter! I have played golf mostly single handicap for forty six years having the pleasure of your dulcet tones on my TV and in my head. You would be the one commentating as I practiced and won 'The Open' for the third time that week… Thank you for a job well done and may you know the joy of that sweet reunion with those who have gone before. RIP.

A true legend and icon of the game. May he rest in peace.

R.I.P Peter. Gone to the great fairway in the sky. I grew up with your commentary. Golf will not be the same.

What a raconteur. That has to be one of the best speeches I have ever seen.

I could listen to this man talk all day. I only started watching golf because I stumbled on his commentary. ❤

The one last barrier in sport is the Ladies' 4 minute mile. Peter - total legend!

His books, ‘Bedside Golf’ are hilarious. RIP Peter. You will be missed more than your humility would like to allow.

I love golf, his voice would always make me stop, sit down and listen when he was on , I miss him 🙏that speech was simply put LEGENDARY 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Great speech, great man. Always remember his commentary. Forever embedded in history

What an absolute legend. RIP Peter!

I’d only watch golf on the TV if Peter was commentating.. a true legend,I will miss his stories Rest in Peace Mr Allis

You sir were a genius, a much overused word but thoroughly deserved. Generations were introduced to golf with you talking them through the finer & not so fine nuances of the game. Gone but like Henry Longhurst before you never to be forgotten. Thank you so much & RIP comfortably

could listen to him all night

A brilliant speech and a brilliant commentator.....

You are a wonder mr Alliss No matter how many times i watch this it always cheers me up. We are all going to miss you win you retire. Love and best wishes ti you sir. J

Absolute star will be sorely missed RIP Peter Alliss

We will miss these dulcit tones - what a story teller. Taught me to play at Moor Allerton and told my Mum I had the best natural swing in golf. Years later I asked if he said that to all the Mum's of the buys he taught. He simply winked. Great orator thanks for the memories!

A lovely and engaging man who I had the privilege of dining with alongside the legendary Mike Hughesdon. What an entertaining evening as he told stories just like these ones. Truly a night to remember - a privilege! Sadly missed!

And in the commentating chair right up to the end. Such a legend. Rest in peace, sir. Thank you and goodnight.

Thanks for some wonderful memories, some of the best natural one liners ever heard. Enjoy your rest Mr Alliss you've earned it.RIP

I still remember him watching Ian Woosnam having a nightmare on a hole once and he never said a word until the ball finally went in the hole - 'EIGHT blows' in a tone of voice that was both incredulous and sad at the same time..brilliant

What a gentleman, grew up watching and listening to this man, loved his commentary rest in peace Peter.

Thank you for the memories dear sir! You will be greatly missed as you go gentle into that good night. RIP

Everyone can tell stories but only some can deliver them. What a great speach. RIP

A sad year all round and this has made it much sadder. God bless Peter Alliss and to your family. We will miss him so much.

Greatest HOF acceptance speech ever RIP Mr. Alliss

RIP. Voice of many a generation

R.I.P. to the magnificent Peter Alliss, 28th Feb 1931 - 5th Dec 2020. Saddened to hear of his passing, but truely grateful for all the years of wonderful commentating that he gave us.

Had to come listen to that majestic voice RIP Peter golf won't be the same without you

What a legend Peter was, he will be dearly missed. A true gentleman and an oracle of Golf. Rest in peace Sir, you will be missed by many.

I'm so glad I got the chance to see you in person delivering your wonderful anecdotes and tales before it was your turn to commentate on the golf greats in the sky.

Absolutely Gutted, been watching golf as far back as I can remember and this is the voice I know that represents the game. Golf commentary won’t ever be the same. RIP PETER ALLISS your voice will live on forever

John P Great job Peter as always. Nobody does it better.

Grew up listening to that silky voice... What a legend. What a classic gentleman. RIP

Could listen to Peter all day.R.I.P 2020 what a awful year it has been. All these wonderful presenters are dieing. You forget how old some people are and so sad to hear they passed.

RIP-Thank you for entertaining us all this years. I would have love to share a pint with this man.

Wonderful just wonderful he will be so sorely missed..

RIP Peter,had many a good laugh at your comments,going to miss them

Absolute legend

Allis and golf like swett and sour salt and pepper Soothing voice and fount of knowledge about the game of golf and the players here is too many more years

RIP Peter. Golf won't be the same without you

Couldn't avoid coming to watch this today. Such sad news. Rest in peace Peter 😥

Voice of golf commentary, him and Alex Hay, tuning in to the Open during the 80s and 90s. always said the right thing at the correct moment. Now Sky have the coverage, its not the same.

Peter Allis, Bill Mclaren and Murray Walker, thank god I was around to enjoy these great men behind the microphone.

It is a sad day for such a great loss. RIP Peter..........It is also sad for humanity that 26 people could not like this video.

RIP God Bless and thank you Peter

I miss him…..and I miss wonderful people like him……

Aw Peter, god bless fella, you entertained us all.

You were the best Mr Allis , RIP sir

Legend . Loved his commentary , even on Pro celebrity golf BBC two in 70/80s .

I used to listen to this mans golf commentary and found it compelling . His style reminds me of the chaps on TMS in cricket .

Great vlog thanks. 😊😊👌🇫🇷🇫🇷He was Mister golf...........

He was part of the golden generation of commentators alongside McLaren, Carpenter, Maskell, Waring, Coleman, Benaud, Pickering and O'Sullivan who actually knew what they were talking about, sadly today's equivalent can hardly put a sentence together.

One mark of his true class and wonderful sense of humour is that after a playing career blighted by a severe dose of the yips his personalised number plate was '3 Put.' I live in the village adjoining Hindhead (where Peter Alliss lived) and it always made me chuckle whenever I saw his Bentley sporting that.

Fantastic to watch and listen to. Rest in peace.

RIP Legend. You are and will always be the voice of golf. 🏌️‍♂️⛳

RIP Peter a great commentator and a great man. We will miss you

What a lad.

RIP - a true gentleman, the grandfather I always wanted

The open won’t be the same again 😢😢when peter and Alex hay were in the commentary booth they were magic , especially when seve won at lytham in 1988 ⛳️⛳️⛳️👍👍

Brilliant in such a way that it can only be enjoyed by intelligent people. That being said I want to thank Peter for his gem and my parents for emphasizing the importance of being educated

God bless him, golf will never EVER be the same again.

Absolutely brilliant!

How can anyone give this video a thumbs down 👎 I’ll never understand the human race

absolutely wonderful. what a talent.

National treasure, for sure.
