Amelia Garvey

LATEST NEWS:  Regrettably, Amelia narrowly missed the cut at the US Women’s Open in Texas by just one shot after rounds of 70 and 76.  A triple bogey on #16 in her 2nd round proved costly. Despite missing the cut, it was an incredible effort for an amateur in her first outing in a major championship to get so close to playing at the weekend. Her two round total was better than a number of the world’s finest women golfers.

New Zealand representative golfer Amelia Garvey was born in England, but her golfing journey started on the small practice grounds of the Kaiapoi Golf Club in New Zealand, at the age of 6.

Being the tomboy she is, she played several sports growing up, so she only had time to play golf a few days a week. On the days she could play, she’d be out there from dawn until dusk. Amelia would often find herself begging to be picked up later than her parents wanted due to her absolute obsession with the sport.

As an all-around athlete, Amelia has been able to develop skills that have enhanced her game further than some of her competitors. Amelia’s different perspective and accomplishments set her apart, allowing her to be a strong, positive female influence in the game of golf.

This is what drives Amelia to push her limits, be creative, and curious to try new things that have never been done.
