The notion of the career amateur is long gone but among the last of that crop was today’s guest, two-time British Amateur champion Peter McEvoy.
One of the best of his generation, McEvoy was a stalwart of UK amateur golf for decades from a successful amateur playing career through to captaining two winning Walker Cup teams.
His best playing years were through the late 1970s when he won The Amateur Championship in back-to-back years, '77 and '78, and claiming low amateur honours at The Open Championship twice.
For the past two decades, McEvoy has been involved with golf course design, with his own company and in collaboration with others.
He has collected his fair share of wisdom about the game over the years and he shares some of that with host John Huggan in this fascinating episode of The Thing About Golf.
