About Me

First thing you should know about me is that I LOVE a pun; that, and the fact that I truly believe a golfer is an individual that we as coaches can't turn into a cookie cutter replica. I tailor each of your lessons to suit your needs and wants – this is how I came up with Taylored To You Golf Coaching with Melissa Taylor.

These days I am married, however in the industry it was important for me to keep my maiden name and the business I have worked so hard to build.

I have recently had time away from coaching after having my first child, a beautiful baby girl. Grace is my biggest accomplishment in life so far, and it has been the most rewarding yet challenging time. With the support of my husband Zak, who is also a PGA Golf Professional, I have made my way back into the working world and am coaching part time at the beautiful Leongatha Golf Club.

I completed my 3 years of the PGA traineeship and became fully qualified in 2019, focusing on building my coaching business from the ground up.

Something that is important to me is giving back. 5% of my coaching profits go to The Royal Children's Hospital each month.

Why you might ask? Because at 18 months old I was diagnosed with a life-threatening disease called Dermatomyositis. It was because of this disease that I began my golf journey at the age of 3 as a form of physiotherapy. The RCH was a huge part of my early childhood, and I am so thankful for the care and support of their staff, especially my specialist Dr. Roger Allen. If it wasn't for them and my family who fought for me, I wouldn't be here today doing what I love! So, what better way to give back than with the business I've been able to build because of their help.

Thank you to those who support me and my coaching business. It's through your recommendations and your choice to be coached by me that helps me support my family and give back to something that means so very much to me.
