Marcel Siem has launched a golf practice demonstration area in his home town of Ratingen in a drive to establish Germany as a leading golfing nation.
Partnering with Huxley Golf, the world’s leading provider of all-weather golf surfaces, the new facility comprises a large 1,615 sq ft (150 sq mtrs) putting green (Premier Outdoor), a 300 sq ft (28 sq mtrs) golf green, a chipping area and a cage net for driving practice. The whole area is surrounded with Huxley Golf 35mm Premier Leisure Turf.
Speaking at the launch, Marcel Siem said: “Practice is undoubtedly the key to success in any sport and golf is certainly no different. I installed a Huxley Golf putting green at my home in 2016 to enable me to practise my short game whenever I wished, even when my schedule meant I didn’t have much time or the weather was bad. I was, and remain, incredibly impressed with the realism of the surface compared to natural grass.
“I wanted to bring this experience to others in my country and that’s why I’m delighted to launch this new demonstration area. I hope that we will encourage more people to play better golf and to play more often – regardless of weather conditions or time constraints – by equipping clubs, courses and individuals with first class practice facilities.”

We know that there are a great many budding golfers in Germany and we look forward to helping them achieve their goals immensely.”
