Help Taylor get To Croatia to Represent Team USA!
Donation protected
I am humbled and beyond excited to have been accepted to represent Team USA for the World Disc Golf Team Championships in Croatia this year, but I will need your help and support to get there.
I started playing when I was 16. I'll be turning 40 this year which puts me at 24 years in the sport. I turned Pro in 2016 after taking 3rd globally in the Women's Global Event at NAD in Bremerton. In my first tournament competing as an FPO player, I took 2nd place at the WA State championships. Last year, I traveled back down to my home courses for the WSDGC and tied for 15th in the nation. I also got to play in my first Pro Worlds event in Ogden, UT. I am the 5-time consecutive WA State Women's Champion. I am the vice president of the newly established non-profit club for Rainshadow and a member at large in the Port Angeles club. I run a handful of tourneys every year and the Match Play competitions. I'm running two women's only events this year as part of the evergreen women's series.
I am a very driven, passionate person who loves to talk about the game and offer advice to any who ask. I volunteer any time I can as I always want to help and inspire people. I was given the nickname “Earth Mama” as I never say no to anyone who wants to play and learn. I have a few other nicknames such as Earth Grandma (there’s a story behind this one), Champ and Washington Wizard.

ABOUT THE TEAM WORLD DISC GOLF CHAMPIONSHIPS (TWDGC)
In early 2014, the PDGA and the World Flying Disc Federation agreed to the development of a new jointly-sanctioned World Championship Disc Golf event, the format of which will be a national team competition. A “World Cup” for disc golf, so to speak. This new competition brings forth one of the most competitive, unique and under-utilized formats in disc golf; team play.
Through this event, the hope is to capture the excitement of a disc golf World Championship and combine it with the important traits of being a team member, such as cooperation, trust and pride. Team play allows for different styles of play throughout the competition, such as match play and doubles, to name a few. It also emphasizes the important attributes of cooperation, teamwork, trust and friendship.
