Golden Oldies results for 26/9/24
- 26 September 2024
- Peter Watson
Sometimes a break from golf can be good for your game.
Just ask Warren Green who returned after some weeks away to add the Golden Oldies match of the day honours on Thursday to the club competition he won on Tuesday.
Again it was an Irish stableford, but the result was even better.
On Tuesday the veteran leftie won with 38 stablefords off the back nine but on Thursday he totalled an unbeatable 47 stableford points off the front nine playing off a 15 handicap in ideal spring conditions. His round was marked by straight driving and sound putting.
No-one got close, with Jack Denton next with 41 points. Peter Watson finished third on 40, while Grant Fergusson took fourth on 37.
He was followed by the trio of Ian Hanford, Ray Hopgood and Lloyd Moyle on 36, with Lloyd's score boosted by the only two of the day on No 2.
Ali Mawby and Neil Howard were next with 34, with Richard Pearson rounding out the top 10 with 33.
Next Thursday (Oct 3) the Golden Oldies play a par round off the back nine, while our Old Hickory team of Ian Hanford, Richard Pearson, Phil Sellers, Mick Leggett, Barry Rhodes and Lloyd Moyle do battle in Motueka.
