Amateur career
Gee was born in Carshalton, England. He was a relative latecomer to golf, not attempting the game for the first time until the age of 15. Despite this, he earned a golf scholarship to the University of North Carolina Wilmington, but opted to take a role as a club assistant on his return as he doubted his ability to compete as a professional. Gee finished runner-up at the 2006 Amateur Championship.
Professional career
Gee eventually turned professional at the late age of 26, and began his career on the second-tier Challenge Tour. After four consistent seasons at this level, finishing between 40th and 65th every year, he came through the qualifying school at the end of 2010 to earn a position on the European Tour for 2011.
Gee pioneered a system of obtaining financial backing by offering rewards to members of the public in return for small donations.[1] He has also written a regular blog for the Sky Sports website.[2]
