Episode description

Sam & Bruce are joined by Peter Dawson CBE to talk about the life and career of Sir Michael Bonallack OBE.

Arguably Britains best ever amateur golfer and one of the most respected administrators in the game of golf, Sir Michael passed away on the 26th September 2023.

Past secretary for the R&A, he was succeeded by Peter who just so happens to know him from years before where they played county golf together in Essex.

Sir Michael’s amateur record is simply incredible;
- 5x Amateur Championships (he won 3 consecutively between 1968 & 1970)
- 5x English Amateurs
- 4 Brabazon, 2 Lytham & 6 Berkshire Trophies
- 7 Eisenhower and 9 Walker Cups
- 2 Silver Medal for leading amateur in the Open Championship (68 & 71)
