At the age of 43, Thomas Himmel already has an impressive career behind him. He can look back on a brilliant sporting golf career: He was German amateur champion for three years in a row (1991, 1992 and 1993), was a member of the German national team from 1990 to 1995 and represented the German Golf Association at world and European championships. After completing his civil engineering degree, the man from Munich has remained loyal to the golf. He founded the company Himmel Golf Design in 1993 and specialized in the construction of golf courses. The list of its places is long. One of the most beautiful places in Europe was recently opened: Son Gual on Mallorca, which was also designed on his drawing board. He is currently redesigning golf courses around the world, from Poland to China to Zurich and Zug, or redesigning existing facilities. With his currently largest project, the Munich-based man could also cause a sensation internationally: If Germany is awarded the contract to host the Ryder Cup, Thomas Himmel, the expert for long, challenging fairways and varied holes, will build the first German Ryder Cup course.
