For Those We Lost in 2016

Monday I mentioned a few of the golf figures who died in 2016. I said then that I was only mentioning a few, like Peggy Kirk Bell (pictured below).

Golf Digest posted an article with a much fuller list of those we lost this year, so I wanted to give you all a link to it. There were so many I missed -- like Manuel de la Torre, the Spanish instructor I often mention in posts -- and I wanted to make sure that they got mentioned.



The Golf Digest list includes not only golfers (pros and amateurs) and instructors, but course designers, caddies, businessmen, writers, photographers and tournament hosts, among others.

This is a week when we look back over the past year. These folks deserve to be remembered.
