Paying tribute to those golf lost in 2022

We hope the following tributes to others that golf lost in 2022—prominent icons of the game such as Australians Jack Newtown and Bob Shearer, teachers and those who loved to chronicle the sport—can in a small way pay homage to their lives and highlight how golf connects us all.

Bob Shearer is part of a small and elite club (alongside only Bruce Devlin and Greg Chalmers) to have captured the Amateur, Open and PGA championships of Australia.

Aussie Bob VS The Golden Bear

Bob Shearer recalls the triumphant moment 35 years ago when he defeated Jack Nicklaus to hoist the Stonehaven Cup at The Australian Golf Club.
