(Ep 207) Michaela Vavrova

In this next episode I was pleased to be joined by one of Slovakia's best players in LET Access Series pro Miska Vavrova after a solid 2025 season which saw 5 Top 10 finishes including 3rd at Allegria Ladies Open in Austria, 4th at Himmerland in Denmark, 5th at Hauts De France, 9th at Islantilla Open in Spain & 9th at Lavaux in Switzerland. It also included a T21st at Czech Ladies Challenge where Michaela was in the final group in contention playing alongside the one and only Sára Kousková and although it wasn't the finish the Slovak star was wanting it was an experience that will live long I the memory especially after Sara winning back to back LET titles at Jabra Ladies Open & Tenerife Womens Open. 

Michaela also known as Miska is from the small town of Bojnice in Slovakia and would play the game through her grandparents at an early age. During her junior career Michaela has played multiple times for Slovakian National Team at European Ladies Am Team Championships & played at Le Golf National at 2022 Espirito Santo Trophy. Michaela is a 2x Slovak Player of the Year and 2023 Slovakian National Champion. During her time at University of Nebraska, Miska would enjoy her time there and would win Big Ten Sportsmanship award in 2024.

Before Michaela would turn pro in 2024 she would finish T12th at Czech Ladies Challenge in 2022 on LETAS, would gain a start at 2023 Belgian Ladies Open on LET and would finish 2nd at her home country event in 2024 on Access Series. 2025 would see Michaela finish 18th on LET Access Series Order of Merit standings after some solid displays.

We also talk about Slovak golf and how she has high hopes for more Slovakian talent to come through to join her & Katarina Drocarova on LETAS tour with some advice to any players looking to take up the game in English & in her native Slovakian.

Had lots of fun and laughs in the episode with Miska and I wish her all the best in South Africa for the warm up on Sunshine Ladies Tour before LETAS season kicks off in Morocco in April. Thanks Michaela for a great chat.
