I earned my Canadian tour card in 1991 and I won 5 Canadian PGA Tour events from 1991-1998. I have qualified and played in 3 US Opens and 1 US Senior open. I have 12 career hole in ones and my low score in a tournament is a 62 (4times). I have won 5 Australian Legends tour events since I turned 50 and joined the senior tour. I have played on the Asian, Australiasian, Australian Legends, Canadian, Japanese, Nike, and PGA Tours during my career.

My proudest moment as a pro golfer has been speaking, motivating and teaching kids and adults in the bleeding disorder community to play golf and learn to love the game of golf!! Thank you for playing in The Parker Invitational at Pebble!!!

I was originally heavily involved in amateur golf, playing Pennants, competing in State and National amateur events and was the Captain of Pymble GC 2004 – 2006. During this period, I was a partner in a successful Accounting and Wealth management business, PrimeAdvisory on Sydney’s North Shore.  However, during this time still harboured dreams of playing professionally.

So, on turning 50 in 2015, I turned pro by winning The Legends Qualifying school and have been a frequent winner on The Legends Tour since. I qualified to play The British Senior Open at Carnoustie in 2016 and qualified for the British Senior PGA in 2017.  In 2021, I won the Australian Seniors PGA title by defeating Peter Lonard with a birdie on the 5th extra play-off hole.  I finished 4th on the order of merit in that year.

I pride myself in the fact that priority #1 for me is to ensure my amateur partners have an awesome day out, second is to play great golf and perform to the best of my ability.

Yours in golf,
Guy Wall
