In fine form at the Scottish Open on BBC2. One of the truly great sporting commentators.

Shit! My heart just skipped a beat then, for a second a thought this thread was going to say he'd died!!
Great Commentator.
Jesus. Thought you were about to say he'd bitten the bullet.
Echo what's already been said, a golfing legend. Golf is a sport that could easily be very, very boring to watch, but not with good old Peter, his knowledge is second to none. The other chap that wanders around the course talking about bunkers, pin positioning etc is also very good on the BBC, name eludes me.
Ken Brown. He's good as well and a great foil to Alliss. Love some his technical work, including his analysis at the Masters where he showed how the mowers all mow down the fairway from the hole toward the tee so that the grass direction reduces ball roll. For a layman like me, I really wouldn't have known that.

Very much so.One of the old school of knowledgeable but entertaining sports commentators with a voice made for the art. Arlott, Johnners etc are sadly missed.
He is one of only two father-and-son duos to have represented their country at this level.
I was rather hoping it would be Eric Brown and Ken Brown, but it isn't.Quick quiz - who is the other father and son to have played in the Ryder Cup?
Peter quickly established himself among the top young players of the time.
Between 1954 and 1969, he won 21 professional tournaments - including three British PGA championships - and was twice winner of the Vardon Trophy. In September 1958, he won the national championships of Italy, Spain, and Portugal in three consecutive weeks.
His first appearance in the Ryder Cup was in 1953, and with the single exception of 1955, he represented Great Britain and Ireland in the event until 1969. He is one of only two father-and-son duos to have represented their country at this level.
But never as good as Faldo, hence his childish long term bitterness towards him? Faldo will replace as soon as he's off to the 19th as he's a better commentator also
