Chris Plumridge (21 April 1944 – 3 April 2015) was a British golf correspondent and the author of numerous books about golf.[1][2] He was the golf columnist for The Sunday Telegraph, and also wrote columns for Golf Illustrated and Punch, as well as other newspapers and magazines internationally.[1]
Plumridge was born on 21 April 1944 at Fulmer near Gerrards Cross.[2] Growing up, he started playing golf with his elder brother Tim at the Flackwell Heath course in Buckinghamshire.[2]
Early in his career, Plumridge wrote that many prominent golf players had physical "imperfections", such as one leg longer than the other, which might be improving their game.[3]
He died of complications from respiratory failure.[2]
