several British clubs, Gary returned to Cornwall and Trevose
Golf Club in 1984. He was appointed Director of Golf and coached
several boys from beginners to International selection. Gary
is one of only a few PGA Swing Instructors. It was whilst training

Gary will
captain Great Britain & Ireland in their defence of the
PGA Cup in America this year.
Gary has strong links with the PGA Cup in particular the magnificent
Llandudno Trophy at the heart of the competition which resided
in the Alliss household for many years.
His grandfather Percy Alliss retained possession of the trophy
as winning captain of the Home International tournament which
was interrupted by the Second World War and never revived once
peace was restored. Peter Alliss later gifted it to the Association
to use for PGA Cup matches in 1973.
"It's an enormous honour to be given the job of captaining
GB&I in America, enhanced by the fact we're defending the
trophy on American soil where we've never won," said Gary.

It's
in the Blood
The son of Percy Alliss, one of the foremost British professionals
between the wars, Peter lost no time in following in his
father's footsteps. He turned pro in 1946 at 15 years
old, played in his first Open in 1947 and went on to win
20 titles. His first appearance in the Ryder Cup was in
1953 and with the exception of one year, he represented
Great Britain and Ireland in this event until 1969. He
joined the BBC TV commentary team in 1961 and has become
known to millions of viewers around the world. Among the
golf courses he has helped to design and construct is
the Belfry at Sutton Coldfield, national headquarters
of the PGA and a Ryder Cup venue.
