“It was such a terrific eye-opening experience,” said one member. “Klara has shown us many different golf shots this morning, which are very helpful for us as amateur golfers.”

Just at 20 years old, Spilkova is starting her remarkable fifth year on the Ladies European Tour.

“It has been a beautiful week at Laguna Phuket. I have been playing golf, but also taken some time off to enjoy this beautiful place,” she remarked.

“The quality of the golf course is excellent and I love the new design very much. Most impressive of all are the world-class practice facilities, where you can practice all day long.”

Asked about her key golfing tips as a professional player, she answered, “The most important thing is to be happy and play golf with a positive mindset. Every golfer faces different kinds of pressure once they step onto the first tee, it is most important to control your breathing and think of the most positive things in your life.”
