Assistant Teaching Professional
Parker Watson was born and raised in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida and played almost every sport one could imagine – especially golf. While attending Episcopal High School, Parker played varsity golf, varsity basketball, and varsity lacrosse. Parker transferred to Ponte Vedra High School in 2011 and twice earned All American status in lacrosse, started as a safety/wide receiver on the football team as well as started as shooting guard on the basketball team.. Although playing golf was on hold while playing other sports, his passion for the game never wavered.
Parker continued his athletic career when he received a full athletic scholarship to the University of Tampa, where he was a freshman starter on the lacrosse team. Tragic news came that year when Parker’s Father passed away prompting Parker to move closer to home. He transferred to his alma mater, the University of Central Florida, where he earned the spot as Captain of the lacrosse team and also walked-on to the football team. After several injuries, Parker realized he wanted to pursue his passion for golf and share his skills and ability coaching other athletes.
Today, Parker is a committed Assistant Teaching Professional that is focused on helping others improve their games.
