Lukáš Tintěra

Born in Žilina, Slovakia. Doing sports has always been a logical choice for him because his father was a tennis player and his mother was a graduate in physical education.

2002 was a year in which Lukáš Tintěra accomplished a breakout in adult golf. He finished second in Czech Golf Amateur Tour. He crowned what had been his most successful season with a victory at the Czech Youth Championship. Having undergone an intensive training drill for the 2007 season in Spain, his efforts paid off. He won the Czech Academic Championship as well as the Championship of the Czech Republic in match play. Later, he was nominated for the World University Games in Bangkok, Thailand, where he came 15th and was thus the second best European. Then he won the second place at the Czech Golf Amateur Tour once again. In the 2008 season, his stable results guaranteed him a spot in the team for the World Championship in Australia. For his accomplishments in that season, he was nominated for the 2008 Golf Player award. At the beginning of 2009, he joined the PGA.

At David Carter Academy he mainly focuses on training children and golf novices.
