serve as their caddy for the
event.
“She lights up any room
with that million-watt smile
of hers,” said Susan. “She is
the best person I know. She
loves the Lord, is honest,
sincere,
compassionate,
loving, caring, thoughtful,
generous,
kind,
hardworking, beautiful, a great
friend, and talented, yet
humble. She is unaware of
all she has to offer and how
happy she makes you feel
just by being around her.”
Price
would
enjoy
being around more female
counterparts next to her on
the courses.
“I would love to see
women’s golf flourish in
New Orleans, in the U.S.
and around the world,” said
Price. “I hope that so many
more women start playing
the game of golf. I think
golf is the way of life.”
With women like Price in
the industry, there is hope
on the horizon.
“Sportsmanship
and courtesy is always
paramount for Taylor,
then a respect for the rules
and etiquette of golf, then
competition,” said Jeremy
Lampo, coach and educator
at Haynes Academy. “As an
educator, I have a motto:
‘take one step towards me,
and I will take two towards
you.’ With Taylor Price, I
have been kept running. She
takes every opportunity that
comes her way and gives it
one hundred percent. That
is not just a cute little saying;
that is the honest truth when
it comes to Taylor.”
Lampo credits Price for
starting golf at Haynes.
“I ran into her at the St.
Rose driving range with
her family and agreed to
start a golf program at
Haynes Academy singularly
because of Taylor Price,”
said Lampo. “She is simply
amazing in everything she
does, and she does it the
right way: with respect,
maturity, integrity, and a
positive attitude. She is the
exact same way on the golf
course.”

“My hopes for Taylor
Ann is that she makes her
dreams come true,” said her
dad Bobby, Area Director
of Operations for YRC
Freight. “Her strong workethic and Christian values
will position her to be very
successful personally and
professionally in her life.”
Unfortunately, I am
comically embarrassed to
admit that when I first took
this job, I saw it as a way to
earn a few more Benjamin
Franklins. I also knew it
would help my writing, but
what I did not know was
that I would be taken aback
by a world I did not even
know existed. To all reading
in the golf family, I thank
you for being active in a
community that transcends
a simple sport.
It was definitely a joy,
honor, and privilege to get
to know these ladies. As
a woman hearing other
women share their dreams,
honors and experiences, I
find myself very proud of
them, not only as fellow
female interns, but as
women who represent our
generation well.
