The 2010-2011 season saw the young Aucklander really come into his own on the green, starting with a win in the prestigious Burnside Pairs tournament alongside Shaun Scott in what was described as the “best final in years”. Greg then went on to win the Auckland Centre Men’s Singles Title, and after winning the regional play off in Kerikeri was rewarded with a place at the NZCT National Club Championships where he narrowly missed out on first place. In the final round he faced Black Jack Shannon McIlroy, defeating him 21-15 – a huge achievement in anyone’s books.
