The life and work of Peter Alliss has been celebrated in a new book written by respected golf writer and former AGW chairman Bill Elliott.
‘Peter Alliss – Reflections on a Life Well Lived’ was officially launched at Coombe Hill Golf Club in Surrey on November 3, with copies now on sale on Amazon.
Although the first draft of the book was completed in 2019, the publication of was delayed due to a number of factors, including the pandemic, but not least being Peter’s death early in December 2020, at the age of 89.
The delay enabled Peter’s wife, Jackie, to dig deeper into family photo albums to supply more photos for the book, while many other of Peter’s friends and colleagues have since supplied their own reflections on their friendships the man they called ‘The Voice of Golf’.
The book records Peter’s vivid recollections of a life well lived, looking back on his career in golf as a player and then as a much-loved broadcaster, writer and commentator.
‘Peter Alliss – Reflections on a Life Well Lived’ is available in hardback in the UK from www.amazon.co.uk, and in the US from www.barnesandnoble.com.
