I was honoured to play with Peter on a number of occasions in tournaments and socially. A great golfing mind and ability together with unparalleled humility. Peter was his own man that gave me memories that I treasure. He had way saying the truth in the most articulate way. Phil Wood

@ Barb & Phil Wood - Thanks for sharing this guys. I've never seen a player that has won 5 majors who is so modest. He was a truly great player (RIP).

My husband Michael Sissons met Peter Thomson in June of 1983 in Calgary Alberta Canada when he caddied for his father Ernie Sissons in one of the first Senior tournaments at the Earl Grey golf club there. The Senior Tour was in its infancy then but really was an exciting event as many Stars played including Arnold Palmer, Sam Snead, and of course Mr. Thomson. He says he remembers watching Thomson play up close and after the round Peter sat with his father, mother and Michael and hi

Met Peter when he presented me with a trophy at a pro am at Box Hill in 1963 where I was club champion. Then again at Sandhurst club where he was honorary captain starting about 2003.

Peter Thomson was really one of the very best golfers ever, and an extremely nice man---well educated and articulate, which was so refreshing as most pros, then and now have been ill-educated and rather "down market" characters. He was greatly admired in Britain, where he won countless events by huge margins. I was fortunate to have a set of Peter Thomson signature clubs, Dunlops, well designed by the great man himself. Interesting that he won the 1954 Open with a borrowed set of John Letters clubs---I used John Letters clubs for many years and won County and National Championships with them---very well made cubs. Sorry to see he has departed -----I for one will never forget him.

@ Rick O'Shay - agreed - he's one of my favourite golfers and possibly the most underrated golfer ever. Wish I'd been able to see him play in his prime. Sounds like you are a very good player yourself, so well done and congratulations, and all the very best :)

5 British Opens. 0 U.S. Opens; 0 PGA championships; 0 Masters. Ben Hogan played in the British Open only once in 1953 and won it. Can you imagine what would have happened if all the best Americans went over to Britain those years? And if World War 2 didn't destroy a generation of golfers! To be fair, if Thompson played all the American majors he likely would have won a few. And he likely would have won a couple British Opens (as he did in 1965). So I think something like 5 majors is what he would have won had he gone to America more and the Americans went to Britain more.

When one from Australia may look into the history of this great game, let alone the merely humble. One can only pay respect to an Australian golfing great and legend... " The champion golfer of..." 🦘🦘❤️❤️
