Peter Alliss, who became the eccentric "Voice of Golf" on British television after a playing career in which he competed in eight Ryder Cups and was Europe’s best golfer for two seasons, has died. He was 89.

"Peter’s death was unexpected but peaceful," the family said in a statement through the BBC, where he worked. It did not provide a cause of death.

RIP Peter

I thought he was the guy who offended a bunch of women years ago but it was a different British announcer, Ben Wright.

quote:

``Let’s face facts here. Lesbians in the sport hurts women’s golf,? he said in Friday’s newspaper. ``When it gets to the corporate level, that’ not going to fly. They’re going to a butch game and that furthers the bad image of the game.?


quote:

``Women are handicapped by having boobs,? Wright said. ``It’s not easy for them to keep their left arm straight, and that’s one of the tenets of the game. Their boobs get in the way.?
