Golf career

In early August 1947 the P.G.A. selection committee announced a list of 14 players from which the final 10 players for 1947 Ryder Cup would be chosen. The winner of the News of the World Match Play would also be included in the list. Green was one of the 14 players in the list. Green won the Northern Professional Championship on 29 August but in early September he was not in the initial group of seven selected. Two new names were added to the list of possible players, leaving nine or ten players competing for the remaining three places. Later in September two more players were selected, which included Green, to which would be added the winner of the News of the World Matchplay.
He was assistant or professional at a number of clubs in the Liverpool area, including Liverpool Municipal, Haydock Park, Grange Park and, from 1946, professional at Huyton & Prescot Golf Club.
