ALEX HAY
Alex Hay is one of the great golfing after dinner speakers.
Born in Edinburgh, he is also a respected golf coach and has represented Scotland on the BBC commentary team since 1978 - his familiar Scottish burr ideally complementing the more English tones of his co-commentator Peter Allis.
Alex’s background is steeped in golf. He joined Ben Sayers as an apprentice golf club maker before becoming assistant to Bill Shankland - Tony Jacklin’s first boss- at Potters Bar.
He was the Professional at East Herts and Dunham Forest for 13 years and is currently the Professional at Woburn.
He is a former Ryder Cup referee and author of: Mechanics of Golf; Skills and Tactics of Golf; the Young Golfer and The Golf Manual.
When not commentating on the game all around the world, he specialises in company golf days and golfing dinners where his many great golfing stories go down well with the brandy and cigars!
