How did Ash and Garry meet?
In 2016, the twenty-five-year-old Tennis player Ash met Garry at the Brooklands Golf Club in Queensland; Garry was a thirty-year-old PGA trainee professional golfer then. The duo immediately hit it off as Ash was playing a round of golf and has been dating away from the public eye.
Friends and family say the unassuming and ruggedly handsome golfer plays a big part in Ash’s success as they have created a home filled with love. Ash calls him her “cheeky and caring handsome boy”.
How a tennis star fell in love with a golf enthusiast
In 2016, just two years after her comeback to Tennis, Barty went to the Brookwater Gold & Country Club in Queensland to play a round of golf. Kissick, 30, is a PGA trainee golf professional working at a job there. Thus, the duo met unintentionally while they were randomly roaming around.
While it was certainly a fluke meeting, they felt the spark immediately and wanted to get to know each other; Garry’s workplace was a quick 20-minute drive from Barty’s home in Ipswich. Thus, they hung out more and fell in love.
A month later, they concluded their relationship while walking the red carpet at the 2017 John Newcombe Awards; Ash was awarded the Newcombe Medal, the highest honour a tennis player could experience.
Slowly the pair made their relationship more evident, and fans suspected their deep connection with each other. On Kissick’s birthday in 2018, Barty posted a sweet selfie with an even sweeter caption dedicated to him.

Barty and Kissick tied the knot surrounded by friends and family at a secret venue in Queensland back in July of last year.
A handful of fellow tennis stars, including Pat Rafter, Casey Dellacqua and Alicia Molik, attended the wedding.
Despite being one of the best tennis players in the world, Barty chose to look around the world even more – as she retired from Tennis last year at the age of 26. Known for being tremendously private about her personal life and relationship, she spoke about the love of her life, Mr Kissick, in an interview with Vogue. She mentioned how Kissick is extremely patient with her and how Garry didn’t know much about Tennis.
Best decision ever!
Being a child prodigy, she knows quite a lot about the loneliness and stress involved in matches. She learned o play Tennis at the tender age of 4 and won Junior Wimbledon at 15; that is why the entire world was shocked when she chose to hang up the racquet at age 26.
She became clear to the public, saying she had had enough of the stress of winning matches and the desperate loneliness of the tour; she also mentioned her desire to experience normal mundane life for a while, spending her free time playing professional cricket for fun.
“It’s a part of my life I needed to deal with, and I feel like it was the best decision I ever made,” she said after her historic win, mentioning how she felt it was even better coming back.
