In the Autumn of 1992 Henning Schulze-Doering travelled to Malta in order to provide Golf coaching to clients from Northern European countries and found a very safe and English speaking country with the perfect climate for Golf.
The Royal Malta Golf Club together with the Marsa Sports Club provided a relaxed and friendly atmosphere where quality Golf tuition could be held – and the Golf Academy became an integral part of this setup, with Henning working as Head Golf Professional since 2001.
With over 30 years of quality service to all age groups and various skill levels, it is by far the longest established Golf Academy in the Mediterranean.
Henning holds a Masters of Science degree in Sports Coaching but never stopped learning, and with the help of the PGA (Professional Golfers’ Association) of Germany, the PGA of Europe (now called the CPG), the German Golf Association (DGV), Sportmalta, the IOC (International Olympic Committee) and MOC (Maltese Olympic Committee), as well as the Universities of Budapest, Malta and the John Moores University of Liverpool, became a quality golf coach, who still believes that fun should be a major part of Golf.
Henning co-founded the PGA of Malta and as Vice-Chairman led the association to be fully recognized by the PGA of Europe (now CPG) in 1998 – Malta is a full member country, and Henning has been Chairman since 2000.
Henning enjoyed leading the Maltese National Team to their biggest victory, a Silver Medal at the 2015 Games of the Small States of Europe (GSSE) in Iceland, and was part of the team when they competed at the Mediterranean Games in Spain in 2018.
He holds dual citizenship (German and Maltese) and, in collaboration with the Malta Golf Association, became a Special Olympics coach, runs a “Woman in Golf” program and is the Head Coach of a very vibrant Junior Academy of over 100 junior golfers. Various Golf Academy alumni are now representing the Golf Academy Malta in various high level golf institutions or benefit from Golf scholarships in Elite Universities.
In 2020 Henning was nominated for the CPG 5-Star Golf Professional Award.
