	Australian Story - 29/06/00: The Keys of the Kingdom
		PETER THOMSON: One of the beaut things about meeting people like Vicki Meadows who runs the group for the disabled kids of which her own child is severely disabled is just to see the energy and the love that’s poured in to these projects.
		PETER THOMSON: Timbertop was an offshoot of Geelong Grammar.
		PETER THOMSON: Tony developed more and more with his own understanding of his political position to where he is now and what’s loosely called the "the third way" and what it involves is being able to include this more entrepreneurial spirit.

		Peter Thomson: I like to play on a course that is pleasant and generous in its dimensions. I like to watch a game on a links course with a good wind.
		Peter Thomson: I think the ball has gone too far. It is time for a ball designed by the autorities of the game and not the manufacturers.
		Peter Thomson: I have enjoyed our chat and would like to do it again sometime. Please excuse my idiosyncrasies and peculiarities, but that is me. Thank you again and goodbye.

	Thomson, Norman battle for best golfer honours - Golf - Sport - theage.com.au
		Thomson's five British Open Championships (as opposed to Norman's two) give him an edge on paper, but the Shark added a string of near-misses to his two major wins, plus the fact he was the world's No. 1 ranked golfer for a then record 331 weeks.
		Thomson himself was deflecting the debate yesterday, but said his failure to dominate the Australian PGA Championship might affect the vote.
		Thomson, Australia's most accomplished player and one of the founders of the tour, said the failure to create the merger was one of his disappointments.

		Peter Thomson: Well it’s so long ago, about 55 years or more, but the lure was right across the street from me. I grew up in the suburb of West Brunswick in Melbourne here, and the golf course was just opposite in the park, in the Royal Park.
		Peter Thomson: Well I think it’s a fraud on the public, because it is supposed that everybody’s playing on a level playing field and they’re all trying their hardest to win, and all that, but once the appearance fees enter, then that gets distorted, and frankly, corrupted.
		Peter Thomson: Not the details, not the actual strokes that were made or took place, but a game of golf is a unit in itself, a round of golf I mean.

		His father and mother, Arthur and Grace Thomson, raised their family of four boys in the small brick home in Brunswick and were to see their oldest son emerge as one of the greatest players in the world and certainly the best performed golfer Australia has ever had.
		Thomson turned professional in April 1949 and, after two years of compulsory apprenticeship under the experienced eye of former Australian Open champion George Naismith in the professional shop at Riversdale, set forth to make his name in the rugged world of professional golf.
		When Thomson eventually finished his time the world was his oyster and he set out for the riches of the US and British professional circuits, with his prime objective, of course, the British Open.

		Certainly, Peter had continued to win his share of tournaments in Britain and elsewhere outside the U.S., but his mastery at the Open had been swept aside by a new generation of Americans led by the charismatic Arnold Palmer, Open champion of 1961 and ’62.
		Dave knew Thomson was a consummate artist and shotmaker, one who had played mostly long irons and fairway woods off the tee in winning his first Open, also at Birkdale, in 1954.
		Peter had finessed the course in that victory; now, 11 years later, it was obvious he was preparing a similar strategy.

		Sadly, there was nothing official planned in Melbourne, Thomson's home town, to mark the occasion so a small group of fans paid their own tribute by sneaking on to the Royal Park course at midnight on Friday and played the par three first hole in his honour.
		Thomson was first drawn to the course because an uncle trained a greyhound there after dark.
		It was good that at least a few Australians were aware of the significance of Thomson's milestone, and were prepared to venture out at midnight in the dead of winter to honour their hero.

		Thomson was two down with two to play against the Scot and made two 3s over the closing holes to force a play-off.
		Rather than be feted for throwing a dart to the bullseye, Thomson combined a shrewd brain with a steady hand and rarely missed the intended target.

		Once, when commentating on television, Thomson watched silently as a player took an age to work out the yardage, wind speed, lie and who knows what else over a straight-forward wedge shot from the middle of a fairway.
		This is a not uncommon criticism of the Thomson record and his propensity for gamesmanship.
		It is no coincidence that Thomson's assumption of Presidents Cup captaincy in 1996 immediately dampened the furor surrounding the controversial ousting of David Graham from the post.
