Now he has set a new course record at Bramhall playing in a midweek competition with his coach Richard Green who was the PGA professional at Bramhall for many years.
Bramhall completed the new course developments a few weeks ago which saw the introduction of three new holes to change the course ranking.
Gareth, who is currently suffering from a torn Achilles currently has to use a buggy, posted a new record of 64 for the new course and Richard said: “Congratulations to Gareth for setting a new record and it was fantastic to watch him do this at 62 years old- truly awesome!”
The previous record on the old course was 62 set by junior star Dan Hayes in May 2022 who is now on a golf scholarship in the USA.
Dan took the record from Gareth who had secured it three times previously - 65 in 1984, 64 in 1987 and 63 in 1994
