Lead Coaches
Setting the standard.
Paul Maurer, PGA
Founder · Director of Junior Instruction
Paul is certified in all major junior golf development organizations — US Kids, First Tee, and TPI Junior. He was selected as a Top 50 US Kids Coach in 2021.
He has had the pleasure of coaching 14 appearances at the US Kids World Championships, a National Drive Chip and Putt Finalist, multiple top-10 high school state championship performances, an MSGA Junior Championship Champion, a Regional PGA Junior League Team, and multiple collegiate players.
Paul plays the game himself and brings over 20 years of personal playing experience to every session.
Steven Park
PGA Associate · Lead Junior Coach
Steven is a certified US Kids Golf Coach and is on his journey to becoming a PGA Professional — he has passed his PAT (Playing Ability Test) and is preparing to start his bookwork.
He's passionate about helping junior golfers and has shadowed and worked directly with Paul for over a year. Steven also teaches kids in Levels 1–3 of the Academy privately.
He is fluent in Korean for students more comfortable in that language.
Parker Parsons, PGA
PGA Professional · Lead Instructor
Parker is an active PGA Member with more than 30 years of coaching experience and one of the most accomplished junior-development records in Maryland.
He has coached three Maryland State Junior Champions, two Maryland State High School Champions, and helped 26 junior golfers earn college scholarships.
A former captain at Towson University with a career-low round of 64, Parker brings the perspective of a player who knows what it takes to compete at every level — particularly his emphasis on building a strong short game from the start. He's also a certified custom club fitter, which means as your junior grows, Parker can dial in their equipment to match their evolving swing.
Jan Jedlicka, TPI
TPI Level 2 Power · Fitness Lead
Jan is also currently the interim Head Coach at Goucher College. He played collegiately at Missouri Valley College where he graduated with a degree in Sports Management and a minor in Exercise Science.
Jan holds TPI Level 2 Power certification and has a passion for improving the physical skills — speed, strength, and mobility — that bring junior players' games to higher levels.
He also has vast knowledge in course strategy using the DECADE System.
