Jochen Lupprian
Jochen Luprian (26) is another meteor rising through German professional golf. He held his first golf club when he was 14 – relatively late compared to other top professionals. Even in other respects he is not exactly typical. This son of a policeman in Burghausen showed his instinctive talent during his first year of playing golf, finishing with a handicap of 13. After his second year his handicap had dropped to 4 and the trainers of DGV (German golf association) took notice and enlisted him in their trainee squad.
Aiming to become a successful professional, Jochen Luprian battled to rise through the Bavarian and German order of merit lists.

Jochen Luprian is under the aegis of the consulting and management agency businessmeetssports. Since 2004 he is attached to the golf centre Berchtesgadener Land.
KOMPERDELL supplies Jochen Luprian with golf clubs.
His JuCad electric trolley helps to focus his concentration on play. “I can’t afford, nor would I want to have a caddie to carry my golf bag for every tournament. Since I have my JuCad drive trolley I no longer feel a need for a caddie because this top-of-the-range trolley masters hills and dales and I conserve my energy for play. I especially like its minimal need for space in the boot of my car; often I am several weeks at a time on tour and I need space for all my other luggage. This trolley has reached technical perfection and you can tell from its detail design that golf enthusiasts had quite an influence in its development.”
During the Deutsch Bank – SAP – Open 2003 Jochen Luprian drew level with Tiger Woods. Media attention was correspondingly high, but he remains reserved and realistic: “My aim is to achieve the Tour Card of the European Tour within the next two years”.
