Peter Dawson (golfer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peter Dawson (born 9 May 1950 in Doncaster) is an English golfer. He was a member of the European Tour in the 1970s and won his sole European Tour title at the 1975 Double Diamond Stroke Play. However his most consistent season by far was 1977, when he finished seventh on the European Tour Order of Merit, that being the only time he made the top thirty. He played in the 1977 Ryder Cup, where he was the first left-handed European to play in the competition and represented England in the World Cup that year.
Since leaving the European Tour in 1981 he has worked as a club professional and golf coach in France, Denmark (where his students included Thomas Bjørn), Switzerland and Morocco. After turning fifty he joined the European Seniors Tour, but he has not won at that level.
