Peter Alliss was a truly monumental figure in the world of golf. His voice was the soundtrack to many who have paid even the scantest attention to the old game. This book records Peter's vivid recollections of a life well lived, looking back on his double-edged career in sport and media, one that is unlike any other and is surely never to be repeated. Sit back and listen to Peter Alliss do what he did best: ramble on about this and that in that famous voice of his, drawing sharp and funny observations from disparate quarters of life before inevitably tying everything neatly together and returning to the subject of golf. His memory for long-passed names and distant places remained extraordinarily sharp. He was also a man of his age which, naturally, meant there were more than a few facets of modern life he found confusing and exasperating. This, however, is surely true for any of us who have lived beyond the point where we wake up each day wondering what we ought to do with our lives. He appreciated his good fortune at being able to make a living from his 'ramblings' while, at the same time, possessing an acute awareness of his rare talent for finding the appropriate word or phrase while winging it over a television picture. His belief that, sometimes, silence is more eloquent than words flies in the noisy face of much modern broadcasting. He was all the more appreciated by many of us for sticking to this conviction and for daring to hold firm in the face of changing convention. Peter is gone now, but the spirit of kindness in which he lived his life reverberates still

In The Golf Handbook , golf pro Vivien Saunders starts by teaching the basic stance, grip, and swing that first-time players need in order to enjoy the game. The instruction progresses as the golfer's skill level does, and every shot on the course from the drive to the sand wedge, from putting to hitting out of the rough is taught in detail. The Golf Handbook 's clear diagrams and easy-to-use tips make it the ideal guide for any player, from weekend duffer to low handicapper. But The Golf Handbook isn't just about technique; it also addresses key questions about tactical play, fitness, and equipment. Plus, it's a great read, with sections on the history of golf, the greatest players of the game, and the famous courses where every golfer dreams of testing his or her skill, made complete with photographs.
