Peter Alliss got away with things no one other broadcaster could. He’d grunt, gargle, mock, violate the “norms” of broadcasting and when Alliss turned serious, you knew the tournament was about to be decided. For this American viewer, he joined a cast of legends that marked the Golden Age of golf television and every year at The Open, Alliss’ solo stints were always a highlight of the championship. And it was his general gravitas and light touch that made an otherwise slow sport worth watching.
“The Great Man” was far more than a broadcaster, however, with a Royal Air Force stint, over thirty professional wins, two European Tour Vardon trophies, books (illustrated, fiction and non) and his proudest accomplishment, a long Ryder Cup run including playing on the same team as his father Percy.
He would undoubtedly have loved seeing the start of Reuters’ obituary:
Former Ryder Cup player Peter Alliss, who won 31 tournaments in his career before a successful stint as a commentator in which he was referred to as the "voice of golf," has died at the age of 89, the European Tour said on Sunday.
Pairings/Results
Bayonet/Black Horse GC | Carmel Valley Ranch
Dec. 6, 2020
Chris Balough won the championship, but Corey Eagle took home the bigger prize.
Balough, a 42-year-old E-Club East Bay member (pictured, above), shot a final-round 5-over 75 at Carmel Valley Ranch to edge Eagle by a shot in the 36-hole finals. In the opening round at Bayonet/Black Horse, shot a 4-over 76. Helping Balough nab the title was a clutch net birdie on the closing 18th.
“I feel like I didn’t play that well. It was difficult, I think for all of us,” Balough said. “I feel fortunate that I played in the last group with Corey. I’ve gotten to know him from the Tour and he helped ease the nerves a bit. I enjoy playing with him.”
