I have to admit that once upon a time I used to see him as being comfortably smug - a description that can sometimes apply to the game of golf as a whole. However in more recent years I came to appreciate just how good he was behind the microphone - relaxed, droll, witty and a master of just saying enough, and never too much. Probably the last of that band of commentators I grew up with - John Arlott, Peter O'Sullevan, Bill McLaren, Kenneth Wolstenholme, Dan Maskell.....

A round with Allis was what got me interested in golf.

Oh my word, he's gone in the hole Actually Alliss gave me a complete misunderstanding of golf. Watching him on TV on Pro-Celebrity Golf made me think golf was all about having a nice leisurely walk and a good chat, whilst hitting a ball around (now and again). What a wake-up call I had 25 years ago, with virtually having to run around the course, with a queue of golfers piling up behind me. He made a tough sport look so easy.

So, I bear a grudge that Alliss made a ferocious sport appear congenial. And as an earlier poster said, Alliss's silence was as effective as his voice.
