Thank you Peter for all the amazing times we spent together in those early days in South Africa and all the remarkable things you taught us all. We had a lot of laughs he especially enjoying the fact he was the only player because of his height that could look down on his ball in flight! Years later his kindness in playing with us in Santa Barbara and allowing us to visit with him at the CBS tower.
thank you Peter I look forward to seeing you again real soon! Love Peter Beames

Many tributes have described Peter as being charming and beloved; a world class golfer and man. I believe that there has been good reason, why so many have held this gentleman in such high regard. I certainly enjoyed watching his outstanding play on the course, and work in the broadcast booth.
