June 12-15, 2007 – Golf Course at Bad Waltersdorf Club in June

Where: Bad Waltersdorf

When: Hours Vary

Registration: Registration: Carol Phillips,carolinvienna@gmx.at

I have managed to arrange a special golf course at the Bad Waltersdorf Golf Club in the lovely "Thermenregion Steiermark". This course is special because a maximum of three players (or even a minimum of two!) get to enjoy the personal support of the golf club's pro who, because of the limited number of participants, is able to cover exactly those areas of your golf game which need attention! This course is for those who already have their "Turniererlaubnis", i.e. handicap -45, and who want to have the opportunity to improve their game with tuition tailored to meet their own individual needs. The course is extremely practical because, in addition to tuition on the driving range, the golf pro will actually play a round of golf with us on the Bad Waltersdorf course. A super opportunity!

The course is organised as follows:
Tuesday, 12.06. 09.00 - 12.00: Personal training
Wednesday, 13.06. 08.00 - 13.00: 18 hole round of golf (course management techniques) followed by personal discussion of the strengths and weakness of your game.
Thursday, 14.06. 09.00 - 12.00: Personal training incorporating those points raised by the previous day's round of golf.
Friday, 15.06. 08.00 start.

You have the chance to play a tournament (probably with just the members of the group) to improve your handicap score.This is a marvellous opportunity to play a tournament without having to play against tens of other unknown golfers, which is thus of course far more relaxed. The course costs EUR 349 (for non-members of Bad Waltersdorf). Bad Waltersdorf is also an ideal place if you chose to bring along your non-golf-playing partner with, for example, plenty of opportunity to relax at the "Therme" or go for walks in the beautiful countryside. Please let me know by latest Tuesday 5th June if you would like to join me on this course.

Best regards, Carol Phillips / carolinvienna@gmx.at
