The Ladies European Tour is visiting Prague this week – the Raiffeisen Prague Golf Masters.  It’s the first time that an LET event has been hosted in the Czech Republic.  And its great to see that the interest in womens golf is continuing to grow in central & eastern europe.

 

The “it” girl for the week has to be 16 year-old Klara Spilkova.  The former Jr. Solheim standout has made a mark in her rookie year on the LET and is sure to feature all weekend at Albatross Golf Club.  Unlike the stories that you hear about some talented, young players, Klara is definitely different.  Her parents have been great – supportive, but at the same time Not putting pressure on her to turn pro or cash in now.  A totally different story than what you sometimes hear.

 

And Klara really is her own person.  Talented, ambitious, confident, lovely are all words which could be used to describe her.  Check out this youtube video of a young Klara on a Czech talk show – it’s in czech, but enough can be understood for us non-czech speakers.
