An age-defying performance and a victorious round that will be remembered for one disastrous hole have been added to the golfing adventures of the Goldsmith brothers.
Tene Goldsmith broke his age in the veteran men’s competition on Tuesday.
The 75-year-old shot 2-over 74 — the second time this year he has achieved the feat. He carded 72 at the age of 74 in January.
Tuesday’s round was an inevitability from the left-hander who looks closer to 60 than the mid-70s. He has threatened it several other times this year including rounds of 76 in March, May, July and November.
Tene’s younger brother Kit looked on track for a similar number on Saturday only to come a cropper on the 12th hole where he had a quintuple 10.
Barring that cataclysm he was brilliant, mixing 13 pars with four bogeys in his division 1 men’s stableford-winning 81-13-68, for 42 points.
Mark Stewart’s best round at the Bay since December 2020 — 86-19-67 for 41 points — won him division 2.
Mark Thomas (39pts) and Sam Willock (39) were the Thursday competition winners.
Rob Johnstone was incorrectly put down as having scored 35 points in the November 27 division 2 men’s stableford last week.
Johnstone actually fired an excellent 84-21-63, for 45 points, to win the division. He was subsequently chopped three shots much to the sadistic delight of his Sunday School cohorts.
