TAYLOR COOPER

VLTravel are proud sponsors of TAYLOR COOPER - a brilliant young up and coming Gold Coast Golfer.

Over the past 2.5 years Taylor has competed in almost 60 x 4 round tournaments which despite his youth made him one of the most experienced amateur golfers in Australia. He has regularly finished top 30 in National Men's ranking events or made the cut in our State Opens or National Amateur Championship.

Taylor became Glades Golf Club Touring Professional in December 2009. Weighing in at 70kg & at almost 6 foot 2 inches (188cm) we believe he will be a dominant force in International golf in the years to come.
