New Zealand golf legend Stuart Jones has died.
Jones, who was inducted into the New Zealand Golf Hall of Fame in March for his incomparable record in the national amateur game, turned 87 on Tuesday and passed away the next day.
The Hastings Golf Club will stage an informal tribute evening for Jones at 5pm tomorrow, where all are welcome to pay their respects to the man dubbed "The Emperor" by Herald sports writer TP McLean.
Jones represented New Zealand from 1953 to 1975, playing in seven Eisenhower Trophy events.
His most notable achievements came when he won two professional events and the 1967 Canadian Amateur Championship.
