CAPTAIN VON SANDTRAP
THE GUY BEHIND THE GRIT

Meet Jeff Klaiber. Golf course architect, designer, craftsman. As a former protégé of world-renowned golf course architect Pete Dye, Jeff has spent decades in the trenches, literally, designing and dirt sculpting the most maddening, seemingly impossible courses in the world, with meticulous detail. The vision behind these iconic courses is to challenge the players’ strengths and expose their weaknesses, creating the love/hate relationship with this game most golfers can’t resist. Now Jeff is sharing his unique perspective and know-how through an exclusive opportunity with other golf enthusiasts as the Gritty Golf Guide. During his private excursions, players will get a behind-the-scenes look at golf course architectural critique at the highest level, play on some of the world’s most majestic golf destinations, and develop a deeper appreciation for the best game in the world. With the Gritty Golf Guide by your side, you’ll experience golf like you’ve never imagined. 

Introducing the Gritty Golf Guide, a singularly original golf experience that combines playing access to many of the world’s greatest and most challenging courses, white-glove treatment in a low-stress atmosphere, and your very own golf course architect as your guide.
