Many amateur golfers secretly harbour the dream of turning pro when they get older. Sydney’s Guy Wall actually achieved it.
Wall started playing golf as a five year old and by 20 had a very respectable 10 handicap (compare that to a Day or Spieth at the same age). Through a long 9 to 5 career the thought was always there in the back of his mind.
At 50 he took the plunge – but how good to you actually have to be to join him?
Back in 2016 (just over 10 years to the day) we wrote a feature story detailing Wall’s achievement Guy Wall – striking a blow for amateur golfers everywhere
Now a new video takes an inspiring six?hole on?course journey with Wall at Sydney’s Pymble Golf Club and talks honestly about the standard required to be a senior pro, what most club golfers underestimate about senior pro golf, and whether this late-career leap is actually achievable.
