Thomas Leslie Green (12 April 1900 – 18 February 1974)[1][2] was a Welsh-born professional golfer.
Green was born in Prestatyn on the north Wales coast where his father, Leslie, was a golf professional. Leslie was the professional at Colwyn Bay where Tom was later an assistant.[3][4]
Green was professional at Copt Heath (to 1933), Burnham Beeches (1934–1945), Leamington and County (from 1947) and Stinchcombe Hill. While at Copt Heath, he was runner-up in the 1929 Midland Professional Championship and then the winner in 1930 and 1931. In 1936, he tied for 5th place in the Open Championship. After three rounds he had been just one stroke behind the leaders but a final round 75 dropped him down the order.
He represented England in the 1935 England–Scotland Professional Match but was later a member of the first professional Welsh teams in 1937 and 1938.
