Golfers who have passed

[Yorkhacker]

Thought it would be better to have a separate thread for this, rather than post in Celebrities who have passed.

Brian Waites died a couple of weeks ago. Won twice on the European Tour and played in the 1983 Ryder Cup at the age of 43. Partnered Ken Brown to win his 4 ball match, but lost his other 3 matches as Europe lost 14 1/2 to 13 1/2.

Still miss Seve even after all these years. The man who inspired me to take up golf and got me into things like the Ryder Cup.

Dave Pelz, NASA scientist turned short game coach. Helped a lot of elite players and countless less talented ones.

Was thinking recently I hadn't seen much of him. He was 85.

Sad news.

Have his books somewhere although not read them in ages. Some very good short game advice I used in my younger years

Legendary amateur Peter McEvoy has passed away. A golfer of the highest class, he was one of England's finest ever players, and a distinguished Walker Cup captain. The McEvoy Trophy at Copt Heath next week will be a poignant occasion.

He was a wonderful amateur and did so much in the UK for the Walker Cup

Peter Mc lost to my good friend, Paul Mayo, in the British Amateur final at Prestwick in 1987. They'd both been in the 85 Walker Cup Team.

Paul took a group of friends and family to play Prestwick last September. Afterwards we discovered McEvoy had been there a few days previously, so we just missed him. Paul speaks very highly of him all respects.

Sad news.

Jay Sigel, arguably the finest American post war Amateur, has died. Played on 9 Walker Cup teams, winning a record 18 matches. Turned professional on reaching 50 and won 8 times on the Senior Tour.
