Tjeerd Staal

When did you start playing golf?
I started playing the challenging sport of golf 35 years ago which has come to dominate the rest of my life. I have been the proud owner of golf school Tespelduyn from the start of golf course Tespelduyn.

Funniest hole at Tespelduyn and how do you play it?
My favorite hole is the last park hole. I like to tee off there with my SW and it remains an exciting turn every time.

For this part of the game of golf you really need to be with me...
During my lessons I show my students videos of their swing, as most people are visually oriented and therefore this tool.

Arjan Stokman

When did you start playing golf?
I started playing golf when I was 16.

What is your favorite club in the bag?
Hard to choose, but then I will go with the sandwedge because it is so versatile.

Most enjoyable hole on Tespelduyn and how do you play it?
Hole 3 because of the beautiful view and the chance to hit the ball just a little further than normal because of the height difference. I tee off with the driver and am happy when my ball lands somewhere between the water hazard on the right and the ditch on the left, from there I hit an iron on the green and after a maximum of 2 puts I walk happily to the tee of hole 4.

For this part of the game of golf, you really need to come to me...
I'm all-around, but if you want to know why you're not hitting the ball nicely or it's not flying the way you want it to, I can help you understand why and what to do differently to do to do get the results you want.

What days do you work?
On Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.

Rik Zirkzee

When did you start teaching golf?
I started teaching golf in 2017. And teaching golf started when I started CIOS and chose golf as a specialization there.

What is your favorite club in the bag?
Don't really have one. My strong suit is often hitting drivers, though, because I'm very straight off the tee.

Funniest hole on Tespelduyn and how do you play it
Hole 3! With a good drive from the hill you can still get far and you still have a pitching wedge to the flag. But the nice thing about Tespelduyn is often the conditions that play there on the day so it is often different.

For this part of the game of golf you really need to be with me?
I often get back from people that I help them a lot chipping/pitching and swinging.

What days do you work?
I actually work 7 days a week because I enjoy working with people so much and golf is my passion and hobby.
