Sébastien Lussi, Golf Pro
Patience Perseverance Disciplined
Born in 1990 I started golf at the age of 14. Immediately passionate about the sport and a member of a driving range, I was going to train with my father. During my holidays and at weekends, I worked at the driving range which allowed me to earn some money and train.
Although my desire was to persevere in the Golf, I made the decision to learn first a trade and then to make the army while tasting the joys of Golf by pure Ioisir.
Stop by an accident, in June 2011, towards the end of my school of NCO, it is only in April 2012 that I restarted playing Golf. I spent 3 months in the Colchester area in England to resume physical and golf training at TSA THE SPORTS ACADEMY located at Five Lakes Golf Club near Colchester / UK.
Concerned about the financial impact of my project and wishing to be autonomous to the maximum, I myself financed this period until mid-July 2012.
My evolution, my attitude and my results during this period, allowed me to be accepted at the Gecko Elite Golf Academy in the south of Spain. The Gecko is one of the few organizations to have set up a pro tournament in Europe during the winter.
I participated in many Open tournaments until April 2013 with the final in Valderama in dantesque conditions of rain and wind.
Back in Switzerland in April 2013 I participated in many competitions in my club golf club Lavaux. I won the 2013 Club Championship and am also in the final of the Match Play competition. I have also participated in ASG Championship competitions as well as in Interclubs with a promotion in A1.
I also participated in various tournaments in France and again at the Gecko pro Tour at the end of the year
The first months of 2014 I spent in Florida in Orlando at Orange County National Golf where I trained with my coach Adam Thompson.
During this period I participated in some competitions of the Moonlight Pro Tour.
After my stay in the United States I continued my progress by participating in national and international championships and tournaments in Switzerland and France.
The goal of the year 2015 was to devote 100% of my time to golf. For that early 2015 I left the first months of the year, until June at the Golf Academy of Pont Royal in France to train to prepare my season. During this period I was part of the Elite interclub team of Pont-Royal.
Being from Swiss and Liechtenstein nationality I participated in international competitions with the Liechtenstein team.
The harsh reality of financial needs forced me to resume my core business at a reduced percentage to allow me to continue my golfing career until the end of 2015.
Eager by all means to persevere towards my golfing goals I decided to do a teaching Pro training with the Swiss PGA. It was in March 2016 that I started with the Waldkirch Golf. This training lasts 3 years and is one of the best in Europe.
During this period I was able to participate in various Pro tournaments. However, the amount of lessons in training courses and related tasks significantly limits technical work and personal training.
My training is now over and it is with great joy and determination that I will resume my training and participation in Pro tournaments. Financially I have found an arrangement with the Waldkirch Golf for a part time commitment.
However, this will not allow me to fully meet my needs, which is why I am using sponsors, already for my first step.
The latter aims to qualify the Q-School for the Alps Tour. For this purpose, I am going to Portugal where my father lives. During my preparation, I will do several courses
very demanding and I will also participate, before the qualification, in a competition of the PPGT.
The result of the Q-School will determine my category for the Alps Tour tournaments as well as for other tours. Based on this I will plan the next steps.
I want to thank you very sincerely for your generosity and look forward to raising the colors of your company.
ALWAYS DIRECTING THE FINAL PURPOSE
