I was wondering how long he had to go. The last time I saw him in public life (on TV) was at tournament and he looked very frail.

Vale Peter, did much good for the Australian Golf community.
“I will put my b***s in your mouth. And I will give you some money to make you feel good.”
Just Counting my money. “I don’t care about that match point—would you care if you were 23 and worth over $10 million?”
Nothing is my fault!
I'm Granking!

Our greatest Australian golfer is gone after a long struggle with Parkinson's, RIP.
I still wonder why he was not awarded a Knighthood for his achievements to golf by the queen ?
As Sir Donald Bradman was to international cricket, Peter Thomson was our equivalent to world golf.
