Golden remained in Wayne for just a year, leaving for the head professional job at Wee Burn Country Club near Darien, Connecticut.
While serving as the pro at Wee Burn, Golden won four consecutive Connecticut Open titles (1932–35), with the 1932, 1933 and 1935 events retroactively garnering PGA Tour-level status.
The duo agreed prior to the playoff to split first- and second-prize money, a common practice, with each player pocketing $6,750.
