PGA Professional

Frederic Dechavanne was born in Paris in 1970. After completing his high school diploma, he decided to study marketing in Paris while also taking golf lessons at the Domont Golf Club. What began as a “side activity” soon became his main passion.

After spending ten years traveling the world — first as a sports instructor (tennis, skiing) and sports director for Club Méditerranée, and later as a piano bar entertainer — Frederic found a new home in northern Germany in 2000. At G&CC Fleesensee, he completed the three-year PGA of Germany training program to become a certified golf professional and subsequently worked in Warnemünde, Adendorf, and most recently at Schloss Lüdersburg.

Since 2022, Frederic Dechavanne has also been working as a musician aboard Hapag-Lloyd cruise ships during the winter months.
