Timeline

1921

In the Open itself he finished in a tie for 21st place.

1934

Neil Chapman Coles, MBE (born 26 September 1934) is an English professional golfer.

1955

Coles, then an assistant at Moor Park, was in contention for the 1955 Gor-Ray Cup, the Assistants' Championship, at Hartsbourne.

However a poor finish left him in third place, two strokes behind Dave Thomas and Jimmy Hitchcock.

1956

Coles had a successful career in European golf, winning 29 important tournaments between 1956 and 1982.

In 1956, having moved to Burhill, he won the event, finishing four strokes ahead of Peter Butler.

In 1956 he qualified for the Open Championship for the first time, at Hoylake, with rounds of 79 and 70.

However rounds of 78 and 82 meant he missed the cut.

1957

As a previous winner Coles was unable to play in the 1957 assistants' championship but he was runner-up in the Coombe Hill Assistants' Tournament, a stroke behind George Low.

In 1957 Coles became more prominent in major British events.

In September he reached the quarter-finals of the News of the World Match Play and was sixth in the Dunlop Masters, despite a poor final round.

1959

Coles played in a few PGA Tour events in early 1959, including the Bing Crosby Pro-Am where he finished tied for 28th place.

In the 1959 Open Championship at Muirfield Coles qualified in a tie for third place.

1960

In 1960 Coles moved to Coombe Hill and soon won the Coombe Hill Assistants' Tournament, finishing a stroke ahead of Lionel Platts.

1961

He also played in eight Ryder Cup matches between 1961 and 1977.

While he never became one of the leading stars of global golf, and did not win a major championship, Coles was remarkable for his consistency, and even more for his durability.

He was five times a top-ten finisher in the Open Championship, finishing third in 1961 and second in 1973.

In June 1961 Coles had his best finish in an important event, finishing runner-up to Bernard Hunt in the Daks Tournament.

Coles finished joint-3rd in the 1961 Open Championship in July.

These tournaments were among those that counted towards qualification for the 1961 Ryder Cup, the leading 9 in the Order of Merit after the Carling-Caledonian Tournament in early August gaining a place.

Coles was 5th in the table and so qualified for his first Ryder Cup, at Royal Lytham in mid-October.

The week before the Ryder Cup was played, Coles won his first major event, the Ballantine Tournament at Wentworth, winning by five strokes from Ken Bousfield.

Coles started the final round 7 strokes behind Bousfield but had a final round of 65 to Bousfield's 77.

The first prize of £1,500 was more than Arnold Palmer received for winning that year's Open Championship.

That year's Ryder Cup was the first played with 18-hole matches; the United States winning by five points.

Coles lost both his foursomes matches but halved his morning singles match and beat Dow Finsterwald in the afternoon singles.

After Coles's win in the 1961 Ballantine Tournament he won a further 10 British and Irish events between 1962 and 1966.

1962

Coles made his second trip to America to play in some PGA Tour events in California in early 1962.

Coles won the Senior Service Tournament in 1962, which had first prize of £2,000.

1963

Two of these were shared wins, both in 1963.

In British tournaments at this time only "championships" required a champion; other events were often left with joint winners who shared the prize money.

He won two events in 1963, the Martini International and the Daks Tournament, both joint wins.

1982

In 1982 at the age of 48 he won the Sanyo Open in Spain and held the distinction of being the oldest winner of a European Tour event for nearly 20 years.

Even at the peak of his career, he made few appearances in the United States because of his fear of flying.

In his eight Ryder Cup appearances, Coles had 5 wins, 6 defeats and 4 halves in his 15 singles matches; the 7 points he won in these is tied for the most singles points in Ryder Cup history.

All his appearances were in a winless period for the Great Britain and Ireland team.

Coles was born in London, England, and grew up in Letchworth, Hertfordshire.

He started out as a junior golfer at Letchworth Golf Club, before becoming an assistant professional there at the age of 16.

1985

After reaching 50, he won a further 14 important Seniors tournaments between 1985 and 2002, winning his final European Seniors Tour event at the age of 67.

1990

He had his best result in his final event, the 90-hole Palm Springs Golf Classic where he finished tied for 7th place, winning $1,350.
