2024 IJG Gosnells Junior Invitational

Congratulations to the inaugural IJG Gosnells Junior Invitational Champions, Ollie Marsh and Halia Edwards. The 54-hole event was played at Gosnells Golf Club from the 16th to the 18th of December 2024. A strong field of 70 junior golfers assembled to take part in the inaugural year of competition, in which the Club hopes to make a regular fixture in the calendar. This was a significant event for both Gosnells Golf Club and golf in Perth as it held World Amateur Golf Ranking status, making it the only event in the Perth Metropolitan area to do so. As a result, the field included representatives from Malaysia, Indonesia and South Korea, all of whom competed against alongside some of the best junior golfers in the state.

13-year-old local talent and Gosnells Golf Club member Halia Edwards took victory in the Girls Championship, besting her rivals by 1 stroke to win on the final hole. Edwards has been a member of Gosnells Golf Club since she was seven years old and plays off a handicap of 2. As a local representative, her victory was a popular one and there are sure to be many more accomplishments on the horizon for the emerging talent.

Ollie Marsh who is a member of Joondalup Country Club showcased his consistency over the three days of competition, finishing the 54-hole tournament on even par to become Champion. He and runner up Liam Sullivan were locked in a tense battle on the final day going shot for shot until Marsh was able to outlast Sullivan to take victory by just one stroke.

City of Gosnells Mayor Terresa Lynes attended the final day’s action to present and honour the two Champions. The club thanks Mayor Lynes and the City of Gosnells for their support of this event and is looking forward to continuing to work closely with the City of Gosnells in hosting and promoting future events in the local community.
