I Remember Payne Stewart: Personal Memories of Golf's Most Dapper Champion by the People Who Knew Him Best - Hardcover

On October 25, 1999, Payne Stewart's remarkable life and brilliant golf career ended when he died tragically with five others in a mysterious plane crash in remote South Dakota. In almost twenty years as a golf pro, Stewart had won more than $11 million and had dazzled the golf world with his numerous tournament tri- umphs, including two U.S. Open victories and a PGA Championship. His silky golf swing and familiar natty attire of knickers and tam-o'-shanter were trademarks of his colorful persona on the course. Stewart had been enjoying possibly the greatest year of his golf career when he was killed.
Stewart, however, was much more than just a golf champion. He also was a devoted husband and father, a loyal friend, and a man of faith. Even before professing his newfound faith, Stewart had established himself as one of the most popular golfers in the world. A man of strong principles and a quick smile, he was a generous benefactor, once donating his entire winner's check from the 1987 Bay Hill Invitational to the Florida Hospital Circle of Friends in memory of his father, who had passed away two years earlier. Stewart loved to laugh and relax with family and friends; he was as quick with a harmless prank as he was with a heartfelt hug.
