Golf

Cindy Kou is A Rising Golf Star.

Haiyan Wu, is involved with the sport, but it’s her dad, Liguo Kou, who owns most of the hardware.

Liguo has won numerous amateur tournaments back home in China and has a well-stocked trophy case to show for his efforts.

Kou, who speaks both Mandarin and English, moved to the United States eight years ago with her mother.

Kou started out at the IMG Academy, a well-known sports training ground in Bradenton, Florida, before moving to Orlando and more recently to Whittier, California.

Undeterred, Kou continued to put in work, both stateside and back home in China.

According to her fitness trainer, Josh Loyo, Kou once practiced golf for at least eight hours a day on top of her homework and exercise regimens.
