Our Pros
Bruno Herrmann
As the son of founding member Walter Herrmann, Bruno began his golf career over 50 years ago as a caddy on the golf course in Saanenmöser. In addition to his training to become a Swiss PGA golf teacher, he completed two 6-month internships at Charlotte Country Club in North Carolina USA and Elm Park in Belfast Irland.
Bruno has been working at the Golf Club Gstaad-Saanenland since 1982 as Head Pro where he also runs the Pro Shop. He also completed a further education in golf psychology (The Mind Factor) with the two well-known psychologists Karl Morris and Dr John Pates.
As we all know, the most important 11 inches are between the ears., Bruno describes the 2 rounds of golf with Arnold Palmer and David Feherty as a highlight of his career.
Christian Lüdemann
