Well known local man, Charlie Green OBE, arguably Scotland’s most decorated amateur golfer, has passed away after losing his battle with cancer.

He was 80.

One of the legendary figures in Scottish golf, Green won the Silver Medal for finishing as the leading amateur behind Arnold Palmer in the 1962 Open Championship at Royal Troon. He also played in five Walker Cups – 1963, 1969, 1971, 1973 and 1975 – and captained Great Britain & Ireland on two other occasions in the biennial contest.

Awarded the OBE in 1983 for his services to golf, Green continued to enjoy a remarkable success rate after turning 50. Between 1988 and 1996, he won the Seniors Open Amateur Championship six times and was runner-up on three occasions. His record in the Scottish Seniors Championship was equally impressive, comprising of six victories in seven years from 1988.

His funeral will take place in Cardross Parish Church next Monday (4th Feb) at 11.15am.
