Graham Vivian Marsh MBE (1944-) an Australian professional golfer and golf course architect renowned for his extensive career spanning competitive play and design.
Turning professional in 1969 after studies at the University of Western Australia and Claremont Teachers College, Marsh amassed 65 tournament victories across five tours, including 11 on the European Tour and six on the PGA Tour Champions.
His stand out achievements include winning the 1981 European Open, where he overcame a four-stroke deficit to defeat Seve Ballesteros, and the 1997 U.S. Senior Open.
Marsh established the Graham Marsh Junior Golf Foundation in 1979 to provide support and development programs for young golfers in Western Australia.
The Foundation's major objective was to introduce junior boys and girls to the game of golf.
The foundation operated for many years before evolving into broader initiatives under the WA Golf Foundation in 2012.
The Foundation's inaugural championship was played over 36 holes at the Wanneroo Golf Club in May 1980.
