Andrew Thomson joins us for a chat about his dad Peter from the early days in Melbourne, to the influence of Von Nida. A playing career that encompassed 98 professional career wins around the world including 5 Open Championships - three of which were won in succession.

Peter was also a dab hand at writing on golf, broadcasting and course desiging.

We also take a look at a very special, final journey that Andrew made on Peter's behalf in July 2022.

Many thanks to Andrew for his time, we hope you enjoy the episode.
