Peter Alliss: Reflections on a Life Well Lived

Product Information

No one who watched it can forget Alliss's brilliant, agonised commentary when the French golfer Jean Van de Velde squandered a three-shot lead on the final hole at Carnoustie, which eventually cost him the 1999 Open. A fine golfer, Peter Alliss proved to be a natural commentator, and became far better known for his second career than for his first. In this book, Harvey shares his thoughts on golf instruction built up from his fifty years as head coach at the Austin Country Club. His mission is to bring the golfing community a better experience then it comes to choosing the right golf gear, and finding the right set up for your game.

But he was not yet buried, and I assumed he would at last pick the sensible course of action: pitch back onto the fairway, play on to the green, and take a couple of putts to win the Championship by two.This is more of a book for those who want to learn about Mickelson, the man behind the golfer, and what went on during his star-studded career.

Fleetwood Mac fans dreaming of the perfect t-shirt should look no further than G2's new raglan baseball tee featuring the lyrics from their classic song Dreams on the Rumours album.

Sadly, he’s now gone quite deaf but he seems to be enjoying his life in Florida, where he associates closely with Jack Nicklaus. It was released in 2001 when Tiger was the top-ranked golfer in the world and stayed that way for a few years after the book. And in a sport which nowadays seems to be dominated by very rich men wanting to make themselves even richer, Alliss, a leading player himself, was able to conjure up a world of amiable sportsmanship, titanic skills and lovable, larger-than-life characters.
