(Ep 161) Sára Kouskova

Hi everyone and hope you are enjoying the player episodes again, today I've got another great one with the super lovely Czech LET star & Olympian Sára Kouskova! The 2022 LETAS Order of Merit winner joined me to chat about her off season, what she's been improving on and how she's looking forward to Morocco this week! 

Kouskova is from Prague, which is of course the capital of Czechia. Sara would go to University of Texas at Austin representing Czechia 4 times at European Girls' Team Championship, 4 times at European Ladies' Team Championship, World Junior Girls Championship in 2017 & Espirito Santo Trophy participant in 2018 and would win 2021 Arizona Wildcat Invitational in college. 

In 2021 Sara would make history by becoming the first Czech player to win a LET Access Series event at Czech Ladies Open (as an Amateur too impressive!) In 2022 Sara would win 3 times on LET Access Series in June at Santander Golf Malaga beating Virginia Elena Carta by 1 shot at (-5) and twice in September at Elite Hotels Open beating Vanessa Knecht by 3 shots at (-12) & ASGI Lavaux Ladies Open in Switzerland winning by 4 to the talented Helen Briem. With 3 wins and a consistent season Sara would win the 2022 Order of Merit for LET Access Series therefore gaining a full your card on LET for 2023. 

On LET Sara admittedly at first she found it a struggle to get the consistency level right but would finish T5th at the notoriously difficult Hero Indian Women's Open at DLF helping her keep her status for 2024. It would a far more consistent season for Sara in 2024 with 4 Top 10s including 3rd at La Sella Open, 6th at Lalla Meryem Cup & 7th at Dutch Ladies Open which would help her to finish 19th overall in the LET Order of Merit standings. Sara is also an Olympian as she would also represent Czechia at Olympic Women's Golf at Le Golf National at 2024 Paris Olympics, Sara also talks about her Olympics experiences! 

In her time off Sara is an avid artist and loves to chat about environment sustainability!

Thanks to Sara for a nice chat and all the best at Lalla Meryem Cup in Morocco this week on LET, hopefully a big 2025 for you!
