It was a privilege to be joined by Kiwi Golf star Amelia Garvey! Amelia turned pro this year, following a stellar amateur career which saw her win the Muriwai Open on the Charles Tour, the New Zealand Strokeplay Title and she was also runner up at the British Amateur, as well as being a top player on the University of Sothern California Golf team.
Amelia turned professional just before her second US Open and she also teamed up with former New Zealand Open and PGA Tour winner Grant Waite as her new coach. Amelia has certainly surrounded herself with a great team. We discuss one of Tiger Woods’ greatest shots https://www.pgatour.com/long-form/2020/05/26/tiger-woods-best-shot-all-time-2000-rbc-canadian-open-bunker-iron.html
Amelia also shares some amazing insights from playing with major winners Patty Tavatanakit and Lydia Ko.
Amelia plays out of the Kaipoi Golf Club in New Zealand and was originally born in Manchester, England, but sees herself as Kiwi through and through! Amelia is a naturally talented sportsperson and could have chosen to play football professionally but decided to focus on Golf, a decision which is really starting to pay off! Amelia also provides an update on Tour School and her playing status and schedule for next year and we even have time to talk football and Manchester United! Go strong Amelia, you’ll continue to absolutely smash it!
