Tom Taylor, PGA

Director of Golf

Teaching the game of golf to all levels of players has been a passion of Tom’s for many years. Having used many techniques to engage the student in learning the fundamentals of their own swing has been his focus for the past several years. Tom believes that if each individual knows their abilities and weaknesses they can identify and improve their golf game with practice. Using a very basic and calm approach to teaching his students, Tom has instructed many students in the Yampa Valley. Along with teaching, Tom enjoys competitions throughout the state at many different levels.
