About Taylor »

I've always wanted to play a professional sport...but that sure isn't happening, so I'll just settle for imposing my opinions on the sports world!

I played Division III college golf at Oglethorpe University in Atlanta, GA, played in 4 national championships, tried my hand for a short while at the professional golf scene AND.......now I'm a CPA....what happened??

I'm a huge fan of Braves baseball, UNC basketball, and Notre Dame Football....don't ask! I can't get enough golf and watch it religiously! I'm new to the editorial world, so I hope you enjoy my thoughts!

The great debate continues. I share my opinion on the topic in my latest piece. Don't be shy, I want to hear your opinion, also!

Taylor: Enjoyed reading about you. I know Oglethorpe. Sometimes I help out a good friend of mine, and my golf mentor, who is the coach at the D-II University of Tampa.

Welcome to the world of golf writing!
