A dedicated duo of professionals, ready to ‘serve’!

FG stands for two names with the same passion: teaching people how to play golf with pleasure. Filip Goovaerts and François Gabias are talented PGA Professionals and have all that it takes to make you love playing golf.

Waregem Golf Club brought them together as club pros and gave them the opportunity to work closely with Dick Harmon. This world-famous American coach gave them a better understanding of the perfect golf swing. This acquired knowledge is still the base of their day to day golf practice.
