(Dallas, Texas) – Good news is on the horizon for the sports community. America is searching for a role model we can believe in – someone kind, generous, humble, fun, adventurous and loving. Thankfully, Peggy Nelson, widow of golf great Byron Nelson, brings us a memoir of a man, who was not only a champion golf pro, but also a godly family man who lived life to the fullest. In her upcoming release, Life with Lord Byron, Peggy invites golf pros to chime in with their fondest memories of Lord Byron Nelson.
One thing I remember that Byron told me was to be good to the game and give back. Byron gave strength in
time of weakness, courage in time of fear, and love in time of doubt. To sum him up, Byron Nelson always
looked for the best in others and always gave the best he had.

Peggy’s stories about Lord Byron serves as a great reminder that integrity, clean living and genuine love all remain after a
man is gone, reviving pride in the sports community. These anecdotes make her a perfect interview guest for February, the
month of Love. From fun-loving moments between family members to quiet serene moments with colleagues on the course, audiences will be inspired as they learn about the character of golf’s greatest gentleman. Peggy and friends testify of his commitment and care of his marriage. Peggy recounts a poignant memory:
We were so delighted with each other and having such grand times right off that it won’t surprise anyone to
know we celebrated everything we could think of in those first few weeks. In fact on December 15, just one
month after our wedding, I made a special dinner for us at home. As we sat at our beautiful dining room table
and opened the “anniversary” cards we had chosen for each other, Byron announced, “I want to celebrate
our anniversary every month, sweetheart, because I’ll never have enough time with you.” What a dear man!
And so we did all through the months and years that the Good Lord gave us.
Peggy Nelson lived most of her life in Ohio, then moved to Texas in 1986 to marry world-renowned professional
golfer Byron Nelson. A writer by profession, Peggy worked for twelve years in advertising circles in Dayton, Ohio.
After moving to Texas she authored the history of Scottish Rite Hospital for Crippled Children in Dallas. And in 1992
she assisted Byron in the writing of his autobiography, How I Played the Game. Peggy continues to live at and helps
manage Byron Nelson’s Fairway Ranch in Roanoke, Texas, plays golf occasionally, does a little flower gardening,
tends her small flock of chickens, plays piano, attends Bible classes, volunteers at the new Byron Nelson High
School, and serves as a greeter at her church. She is also a busy volunteer at the HP Byron Nelson Championship
in Dallas each year.
