Jamie Taylor credits her early start in golf and the diverse roles she’s held over the past 20 years with igniting her passion for changing the culture of the sport that she loves.

From caddying and working in pro shops as a teenager to running instruction programs and operations for two of Cleveland Metroparks’ busiest golf courses, she has intimate knowledge of the experiences and challenges of both amateurs and operators.
