If anyone has the time, search out Michael Clayton's obituary of Peter. He lived in St Andrews for many British summers and moved around the town hassle free. Far too modest for his talent. Clayton's called him " a god among golfers and a prince among men". He said his fondest memory of The Open was watching his mate Kel Nagle win in 1960. RIP Pete. Kel is waiting for you on the tee.
You know Wayne he hit the ball very low during those 9 senior tour wins. He talks about that in his last interview before he passed. The ball was a Dunlop and he said it was the shortest of their line. They only made it one year then stopped. I loved how low he hit his shots! Cool way to play
My Pro Boss told me (late 90s) how in a major Australian Tournament in late the late 70's/early 80s, Thomson, who was post 50 years, sent his young caddy to find out what the cut would be and what score he would need on the back 9 (at the Australian golf club) to make the cut. He needed 2 under. So he shot 2 under. Simple!
Thanks Wayne he is one of my favourites a lot of similarities with hogan.If it is not the left knee or hip to start the downswing are you saying it is the shifting of weight and planting of the left foot.
Like hogan he says he replants his left foot which pulls his hip around and then his hands come down on the same path they went up on.I Will try a stronger grip and same sequence and see how it goes
th-cam.com/video/Pi4vR0AY2u0/w-d-xo.html at the 24:00 minute mark is the story of the Dunlop ball the ball was the main reason why he hit it so low. I always thought it was from his swing. Sadly they stopped making the ball. I found this interesting
He certainly looks like he pulls his arms down while his back faces the target but when he talks about it on the L P he made this is not what he is trying to do.
One of my very favorite swings. Thanks
Pete never used a caddies advice said this game should be played alone like a pool player ever see them with a caddie

He could control his distances well in the wind with his low flight as he kept ball out of wind.
Michael Kennedy I really was impressed in the mid eighties with his swing he was great. I never forgot it. Watch his interview it’s interesting

Great under rated swing......only won the British 5 times
How does he get the rotation while managing to stay behind the ball
