Heins gets into the Senior Open

June
29

Here’s something else for the members at Old Oaks to brag about, Bobby Heins shot a 5-under par 67 today at Arcola Country Club in Paramus, N.J. and tied for medalist honors at the U.S. Senior Open sectional qualifier.

Next stop, Crooked Stick Golf Club.

The championship will be played July 30-Aug. 2 in Carmel, Ind. I’m thinking heat and humidity, so Heins will probably want to grab a couple of extra shirts before he locks up the shop.

Four players in all moved on from the site. Pelham head pro Mike Diffley missed forcing a playoff by two strokes, but now we all know exactly how old he is. Bronxville amateur Roland Morris Jr. was also 2-under and tied for eighth.

    Mike,
    As much as it’s hot and humid there you better bring a light jacket at night!!! It get’s real chilly there at night!! Yeah thats right! I said chilly!! in August!
    When in downtown Indy, go to the “Slippery Noodle” the oldest night club in Indy!It’s three clubs under one roof!!! Great bar food and great music of three kinds!!
    PS! stay in the shade! and change your socks twice a round for the long haul out on the course!
    Have fun!
