LOWER SCORES PAR FOR THE COURSE
AT THE GOLF CLUB AT CHELSEA PIERSH

MORE PGA PROS THAN ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY

The Golf Club at Chelsea Piers has appointed a new Head Professional, and golfers couldn't be happier with the choice. Tom Sutter, a PGA Class A teaching professional since 1984, who had been working at the Golf Club on and off since it opened in 1996, has now moved into the job full-time. In addition to being ranked as one of the top golf instructors in the nation by the Metropolitan Golf Association, Tom has built an impressive playing resume which includes victories in the New England and Long Island Opens, and a strong performance at the United States Open.

Because the Golf Club welcomes an enormous number of private lessons, there has been a concerted effort to attract only the top teaching professionals. The addition of Tom Sutter, along with a few other new hires, has turned the Golf Club's teaching corps into the premier group of instructors in the tri-state area. Not only are there four floors of hitting stalls and scenic views of the Hudson, but area golfers now have access to the some of the best teachers in the nation. No other golf course or driving range in the United States can boast of a roster of 16? PGA teaching professionals.

Manhattan's only multi-tiered, year-round, outdoor golf driving range, the Golf Club at Chelsea Piers offers golfers the unique opportunity to hit full shots, practice putting, take lessons with top pros, and enjoy the ambiance of a riverside country club without ever leaving the city. The Golf Club has 52 heated and weather-protected hitting stalls on four levels, a computerized automatic ball tee-up system, and a 200-yard, net-enclosed artificial turf fairway. The on-site Golf Academy which offers schools, clinics and private instruction for both accomplished and novice golfers, features ultra-modern superstations, a practice sand bunker and a chipping green.

With lessons available daily from 8 AM until 10 PM, over 1000 students learn new skills and refine old ones at the Golf Club at Chelsea Piers, working with instructors individually or in small groups. Because of the wide array of talent and personalities available to students of the game, each golfer is able to find a unique match for his or her learning style and pace.

Head pro Tom Sutter, and the strong group of teaching professionals at the Golf Club at Chelsea Piers, now give tri-state golfers a much better chance of making par.
