(December 6, 2024) – Call it a three-peat! For the third time in three years, Bill Hermanson has earned Super Senior Player of the Year honors.
“It’s always nice,” said the Connecticut Golf Hall of Famer, who is still the only player ever to win the award. “It’s unexpected. You never expect it coming into the season. Winning the award means you played pretty decent golf for a good part of the year.”
2024 Super Senior Player of the Year Standings
A longtime sales representative for Ahead, Inc. Hermanson often found himself in the winner’s circle. His 2024 campaign which included six Super Senior Division One Day titles was highlighted by his first career victory at the Super Senior Championship.
“I started out slow,” Hermanson said of his Super Senior Championship victory. “I made a few bonehead mistakes but I was able to bounce back from that and I birdied three of the last five holes to finish it off after kind of a sluggish start.”
In 2024 Hermanson also continued to add to his remarkable CSGA team record making his 39th appearance in the Julius Boros Challenge Cup.
“I feel so lucky to still be able to compete. I’m just fortunate,” said Hermanson a proud grandfather of a two-year-old girl. “The older you get, the more you appreciate it.”
Hermanson might be appreciating it more but one thing is for certain he has been winning Connecticut State Golf Association events for decades and there is no end in sight.
