More Than a Player: Taylor Kim on Winning, Coaching & Women’s Golf in BC

Taylor Kim has lived almost every side of competitive golf — junior golf, Team Canada, NCAA competition, professional events, coaching, and now another championship win.In this episode of Steve Tees Off, Taylor joins Steve after capturing her second PGA of BC Women’s Championship and talks about what it took to come from behind, stay patient, and win without feeling like she had her best game.That lesson is especially meaningful because it’s the same one she gives her own students: you don’t need your A-game to compete.Taylor takes us back to the beginning — learning the game from her father, travelling for tournaments as a teenager, dealing with the pressure and anxiety that can come with elite junior golf, and eventually representing Team Canada before earning a Division I scholarship at Kent State University.We also talk about her transition from player to coach, her work at Beach Grove Golf Club, coaching with the UBC women’s golf program, and why she believes women’s golf in British Columbia is in such a strong place right now.This is a conversation about more than being a player — it’s about the journey, the lessons, and helping build the next generation.Follow Steve Tees Off on Spotify for more golf stories, tips and conversations with the people shaping the game.Brought to you by: RiversideGolf.ca and Kings Links by the Sea
