Is the damage on the same side of every fruit? If so, does this side face
south? The damage could be sun scald.

Could also be anthracnose...

TQ,

The second link describes my problem tree well and believe that is what
is happening with my tree.. I doubt it is sun burn as it is happening
to peaches well shaded all day. Thanks for the links - I'll take it the
precautions the link suggested.
