SHORT GAME

Bernd Ritthammer
Hi, I'm Bernd.
My love for the game began at the age of 3 when, thanks to my parents, I held a Golfclub for the first time. At 11, I was selected for the Bavarian state squad, where I met my long-time coach Igor Arendt. After two years in the boys' national team and passing my high school exams, I transitioned directly into the professional circuit in 2006. In my third year as a pro on the EPD Tour, I made the leap to the next level. From 2010 to 2022, I was a member of the Challenge Tour and the DP World Tour. Additionally, I am a proud father and happy husband."

FOUNDER

Steer your golfing skills toward success with me by your side to help you navigate your journey. Together, we will conquer uncertainties and propel your golfing skills past new frontiers.
- 5 Years as a tour Professional
- Studied Sports Economics
- Coach of Germany's TOP 4 Golf Teams
- Coaching Aspiring Tour Players
My approach blends professional coaching with a deep understanding of the game for comprehensive enhancement.
Philosophy:
First, for beginners, I believe in making learning clear and simple. When you're starting something new, like a game, you don't want it to take forever to figure out basic stuff. You want to get better quickly.
Second, I know there are lots of ways to achieve the same goal, like getting the ball in the hole. People have different ways of doing things because everyone's different. So, for more experienced players, I think it's important to give them options. I want to show them different methods and systems so they can choose what works best for them.

MY GOLFING STORY
Chapter 1: Early Beginnings (1994-1999)
My journey in golf began at the tender age of three when my grandfather took me to the golf course for the first time. By four, I was already swinging a plastic club around the house. At six, I embarked on formal lessons at Haghof G&CC near Welzheim, Germany, marking the official start of my golfing education.
Chapter 2: Youth Achievements (1999-2006)
As years passed, my dedication to the sport grew. By the age of 9, I had a Hcp of 19 and got invited to the junior regional team. By the age of 14, I boasted a Handicap of 3 and joined the regional county team U16. Remarkable accomplishments followed, including winning the youth-team-championship of my county in 2004 and achieving my first round under par at just 13 years of age. In the year 2005, I was also leading the German Championship U14 years for a moment.
Chapter 3: Stepping into Competitive Golf (2006-2013)
My teenage years saw me thrive in competitive golf. I represented my county in the German County Ryder Cup U16 and showcased my skills in various championships, including the German Amateur U14 Championship. By 2013, I had cemented myself as a formidable amateur player with numerous top 10 finishes and a handicap of +3.4 which made the 11th best Amateur player in the Country. Between 2012 and 2014 I played in Germanys highest ranked team league for Mannheim GC.
Chapter 4: Turning Professional (2014-2016)
In 2014, I transitioned into the realm of professional golf, participating in the Pro Golf Tour with aspirations of securing a Challenge Tour Card. While facing the challenges typical of a young professional, including health setbacks and financial constraints, I remained active in team sports, contributing significantly to our team's success. The Highlight was our win at the final four in 2014 securing the German team title.
Chapter 5: Navigating Professional Circuits (2017-2023)
My professional journey was marked by ups and downs, characterized by continuous learning and adaptation. Despite setbacks, including my struggles on the Pro Golf Tour and European Tour qualifying, I remained resilient and focused on improvement. Alongside my golfing pursuits, I pursued higher education, further enriching my skill set and knowledge. The hardest part was that I still wanted to be authentic while reaching for the success.
Chapter 6: Present and Future Endeavors (2023-Present)
As I look ahead, I am committed to furthering my golfing career while embracing opportunities in coaching and education. With a solid foundation in both playing and instructional aspects of golf, I aim to make meaningful contributions to the sport. As I continue to pursue excellence. I am grateful for the experiences that have shaped my golfing journey thus far.
Epilogue: Reflections and Achievements
Throughout my golfing story, I've encountered triumphs and tribulations, each contributing to my growth as a player and individual. From my early days on the course to my professional endeavors, I've learned invaluable lessons about perseverance, determination, and the pursuit of excellence. As I reflect on my achievements and challenges, I am filled with gratitude for the opportunities that golf has afforded me, and I eagerly anticipate the chapters yet to be written in my golfing journey.

Nutrition
Lena Kadlec
Hi, I'm Lena.
As a young competitive athlete at the age of 17, I didn't realize how important a sport-specific diet is. I struggled with numerous 'aches and pains' and thought that stress fractures, muscle tightness and cramps, as well as sleep and concentration problems, were just part of the process. Today, I often smile and tell my athletes how wonderful it would have been if I had known back then what I know now.
Today, I help my clients find their individual routines that allow them to perform at the highest level in the long term, whether in sports or in their professional lives. After nearly 12 years of professional experience, I can proudly say that I have turned my passion into a career and have the privilege of inspiring and motivating my athletes in this field.
