On this week’s player diary series, Czechia’s Klára Davidson Spilková discusses tying the knot to husband Sean, honeymoon blues, and travelling the world with the Ladies European Tour (LET)…

Wedding, Travel and Other Hassle

My name has now changed. Actually, I just added Davidson to the middle of Klára Spilková, and with that comes a number of questions such as… you got married? Yes, I am now a married woman!
