The fake Peter Alliss Twitter account reacts to Sky nabbing the British Open

Progress old boy, progress

If you are a golf fan, you simply have to follow the rather brilliant @TweeterAlliss, the spoof Twitter account of the golf commentator Peter Alliss. Using the characteristic tone and phrases of the elder stateman of golf broadcasting, you simply can't help but read the tweets in his distinctive voice. Anway, as it was confirmed today that Sky Sports had taken exclusive rights of the British Open from 2017, we waited to see what the account had to say. The response, while not exactly Allissian, was just as we expected.
