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.

His commentaries where second to none....he was simply The Voice of Golf.

Peter Alliss made Golf more popular than any other commentator - Straight down the middle!!!

First broadcast on BBC 2 on Wednesday 12th October 1977,10 half hour programmes. I had just taken up the game, I loved this!!

As far back as that ? I thought it went back to about 1981 so I was already watching a repeat. It was the appearance of Greg Norman that misled me. Peter had another coaching series roughly a decade later called "Play Better Golf" .

Going to be greatly missed. RIP

I remember watching this at the time. I wondered if I'd ever see it again. It really takes me back. Thanks for posting.

Best commentator ever. Never be replaced.

When golf was played by gentleman and ladies. Great times.

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😄

A man greatly missed already, his pyjama trousers are different, RIP Peter

Clive thank you for the post. Great memories. How i learned my life love affair with Golf. My how Golf has changed watching this!

my father played a round with this guy along with some wealthy Jewish folks looking for good tips along the way...... many years later he was able to pick my father out of a crowd for a quick chat while watching a tounament..... very sharp man for sure.... he was also a big bloke with formidable power ! his massive extensive golfing knowledge & wit will be well missed.......

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.

Howard you are so right, it would be great to have a compilation of Peter’s memorable comments and quotes. He had an extraordinary gift of telling a story that was knowledgeable, interesting and humorous. I could listen to him all day, and he will be sorely missed, RIP Peter.

rip peter.love your soothing voice 🏌🏼🙏🏻

This is sooo British, wonderful stuff.

Downfield ⛳ golf course in Dundee, the finest parkland golf course in Britain ⛳👍🥇😁😀😉

wonderful video. The man was classic.

Before the days of prozac, we had Peter Aliss

pure brilliance. nothing else needs said.

The Pro celeb golf programs were so good also A Round with Alliss.

I remember this "play" series from back in the day,there was a play-badminton,play-tennis in the series as well.Thanks for sharing.

There’s more useful information in this than in any number of KZread videos.

RIP Peter You made golf worth Watching

Great to see this again. Now golf is more accessible to all I think a modern version would still attract an audience. The BBC seems to have deserted golf. You don’t need to pay millions to screen something like this.

Absolute unit.

Probably the BEST commentator in Golf...Ever. Watching that reverse C hurts my back just looking at it...

RIP Peter Alliss

Legend!

Peter actually looked a lot like Seve as he addressed the ball!

Great man & a very fine player . I really enjoyed this post . Thanks for posting .

loved the pro John Stark. Would have liked lessons with him.

Very good a reminder to look back on and remember

Alliss was talking to Greg Norman about poise during the backswing, he could have used that years later at Augusta.

This is so good

Young Ron Weasely has a great technique 🙂

This. This is awesome.

Hilarious. Good old 'Alice'. Monty Python does golf. The golf swing is of course really simple: Just remember 512 consecutive positions, and ensure that you execute these 512 positions in perfect sequence. Bingo! Oh, and don't forget to RELAX of course. Good luck mateys.

John Stark sounds exactly like Sean Connery...!

When was this filmed. Judging by the flares I imagine 83 or 84

1981. During the Greg Norman segment (37:11) Alliss mentions Norman won the World Match Play champ. in 1980. Also, the credits at the end were 1981.

Rip

I really miss Peter Alliss and Alex Hay - why he wasn't dubbed Sir Peter is a mystery to me.

@12:34

Amazing how some techniques have changed, swing so much looser back then and putting looks weird. interesting though.

What a load of hogwash. Lost me at the point the club at the target fundamental. Actually before that when I saw that poor kid's swing. Doubt if he made it past 25 when his bad back stopped him playing golf.

I enquired to their website(the place where this was filmed) and was told that he the young kid I mean went on to be an assistant proffesonel at Troon golf course.

7:14....giving a no-no to that stance. Works OK for Ryan Fox lol.
