Peter Alliss' Induction to World Golf Hall of Fame

I know there are mixed opinions about Peter Alliss on here.

Take 15 minutes of your life to watch this though, he's wonderful.

Ha. Pretty good. He can be quite good commentating but my problem is he has a tendency to overdo the 'waffle', as he calls it, sometimes.

Was a great speech. Watched it live at the time when I was over in Florida. Wish I had made the trip over the Hall of Fame while this was going on. Particularly after hearing how impressed Alliss was of the place.

Legend.

Thanks George

Expect the WGHOF are quite happy now they didn't wait to "induct" him posthumously . . . .

Very nice.. like sitting listening to your favourite uncle. I enjoy his commentary too - he can be charming and ascerbic at the same time, not an easy feat.

Thank you George for pointing me towards that.

I have always been a Peter Alliss fan, both as a golfer and a broadcaster. I even play on a Peter Alliss, Dave Thomas designed course.

Where he and others would describe himself as a waffler, I call him a raconteur of the very highest order.

Thanks George

I really marvel how he just stands there and talks - no notes - never loses his way. I was fortunate enough to be at the Society of London Golf Captains Centenary Dinner last December where he was guest speaker. He says he could go on for hours, I think I could listen for hours.

Thanks George

Always been an Alliss fan

Quality.

Every time I listen to him it seems to be a free flowing "nothingness" that engages, entertains and educates in equal measure.

Not everyone's cup of tea, but I personally like very much.
