Born in Vancouver, raised in Parksville on Vancouver Island. Kylie began golfing at the age of 7 after her dad had some clubs built for her when he saw her swing left-handed.
Kylie grew up at Pheasant Glen Golf Resort and attended the Brent Morrison Golf Academy from the age of 15-18 and competed in many BCGA and RCGA events.
Attended Oklahoma City on a Golf Scholarship and competed on the #1 ranked team in the NAIA.
Obtained her Pro status in 2012 at the Christina Lake Golf Club during the BC amateur.
Kylie has gained a ton of experience in her 10-year career. She has worked as a range kid, pro-shop attendant and has always surrounded herself with Golf. She is willing to lead by example and would never ask someone to do something that she would not do herself. She has had incredible mentors over her career and is grateful for all the experiences.
Kylie is never afraid of a challenge and to step outside her comfort zone. She will stand up for what is right and make sure that every voice within the golf industry is heard.
Kylie’s goals as a Golf Professional are to provide exceptional customer service, build strong rapport with all the customers and members and give them an incredible experience.
Kylie is the first female Golf Professional to work within the Northwest Territories and plans to grow the game to other women and juniors.
Kylie has spent the last 2 years as the Associate Golf Professional at the Yellowknife Golf Club and has now taken the reigns as the first Female Director of Golf.
Kylie’s goal is to continue to showcase the diversity and inclusion within the CPGA and represent the 8% of women that work hard every day within this industry.
Kylie is part of the LGBTQ2S+ community and promotes “Golf is for everyone.”
Her passion to grow the game of golf and help as many people as she can shows her passion for the industry.
She is kind to everyone she meets and treats everyone with the utmost respect that they deserve.
