Lee University Men's Golf

Maupin enters his ninth season as the head men's and women's golf coach for Lee University during the 2016-17 campaign. In their first year of postseason eligibility, Maupin led both the men's and women's teams to second place finishes in the Gulf South Conference Championship and a birth in the NCAA D2 Regional Championship last season. Maupin led the Flames to the "unofficial" GSC title after winning the tournament by 10 strokes over West Florida in 2015. Due to Lee's transition into NCAA Division II the Flames were unable to officially win the conference title and particpate in the regional tournament. Maupin became only the third golf coach in Lees athletic history in August of 2008, replacing Coach Jack Souther, who retired after the 2008 spring season. Before Souther, Stanley Butler started and directed the successful program for 17 years. Maupin came to Lee from one of the strongest NAIA golf and academic programs in the south. He was a member of the Berry College squad from 2003-2007 and served as a team captain. He was named to the Deans List in 2007 and was selected to the All-Conference and All-Region teams. Over his four year career, Maupin took part in three NAIA National Tournaments. During his seven-year tenure as Lee University head golf coach, Maupin has directed the Lee womens program to 21 tournament titles and the mens program to 17 tournament victories, including a record five tournament wins in 2014-15. In addition, the past four years have seen the Lady Flames program produce eight NAIA All-Americans, two NCCAA All-Americans, three SSAC Player of the Year winners, 17 First Team All-SSAC members and 11 NAIA Scholar-Athletes and two NCCAA Scholar-Athletes. During the same time period under Maupins watch, the mens program has produced seven NAIA All-Americans, four NCCAA All-Americans, six NAIA Scholar-Athletes, four NCCAA Scholar-Athletes, 13 First Team All-SSAC members, one SSAC Player of the Year and two SSAC Male Student-Athlete of the Year winners. Taylor Davis was named a NCAA Division II Third Team All-American in 2014-15. Maupins squads enjoyed national success during the 2008-09 year with the mens team qualifying for the NAIA National Championships as a team, while Rachel Ingram and Julie Donnestad represented the Lady Flames individually at the NAIA National Championships. At the NAIA National Championships, bot Ingram and Donnestad placed sixth and were named First Team NAIA All-Americans. 2011 was another big success for Maupin and his teams, and one of the most successful seasons in program history. The coach led both the mens and womens squads to their first top-10 finishes at the NAIA National Championships. Both teams were also ranked as high as No. 12 in the NAIA. Maupins squads returned to the NAIA Championships in 2013. The Lady Flames dominated the majority of the season, winning five tournaments, including their second consecutive SSAC Championship. The Flames also claimed their second consecutive SSAC title en route to finishing sixth at the NAIA National Tournament, the highest finish in school history. In 2013-14 both the men's and women's teams claimed the NCCAA National Championship, the first title for either squad in school history. Senior Courtney Shelton would win individual medalist honors on the women's side. After the tournament Maupin was named both men's and women's NCCAA Coach of the Year. Maupin and his wife Jayne reside in Cleveland. The couple is blessed with a beautiful daughter, Addie.
