Francesca Bartolini
PGAI Teaching Professional
My first approach to golf was at the age of 14 thanks to a summer Junior Camp held at the Sutri National Golf Course. After many years of experience in regional, national and international competitions, I entered the Sutri National Golf School and began my journey as a teacher in 2017.
I have dedicated the last few years to my training and personal growth as a teacher by participating in many golf seminars and qualifying as a certified Eyeline Golf, Capto, Boditrack and US Kids Golf instructor.
I am also qualified as a Mental Coach and have been collaborating for years with a sports psychologist, now a dear friend, highly appreciated at a national level for having contributed to winning gold medals in the 2016 Rio Olympics.
This constant collaboration and training has led me to know how to take care of my students at 360 degrees both from a technical and psychological point of view.
Since 2019 I have been collaborating with Royal Golf La Bagnaia also as Marketing, Sales & Events Executive where I have the honor of bringing my training to help the club also with the management of golf competitions and events.
I am a cheerful, attentive, patient and professional person. My goal is to help players of all ages and playing levels to improve their performance through accurate and personalized technique management.

Teaching Professional
After the performances as an amateur that led me to win the Absolute Italian Champion award in 2006, I embarked on a career as a professional by participating in the best tournaments on the national and global territory.
In 2007 I achieved 3 victories on the Alps Tour, followed by the title of Italian Omnium and Pgai Champion in 2010, I took third place at the Scottish Open and second place at the Madrid Masters during 2011, up to the victory in 2018 in Kenya Open Challenge Tour and second place at the Omega Crans in 2019.
This is how, after a career as a professional, I decided to embark on a new path to dedicate myself to teaching players of all levels, from beginners to competitive players, as well as for guests who will stay at La Bagnaia Golf Resort.
