Joel Parker Gorospe

Parker Gorospe will serve as the Camp Director for the Nike Junior Golf Camps at Arcadia Golf Course.

Joel Parker Gorospe, who goes by Parker, has many years of golf experience, most of which has been spent playing as a single-digit handicap. He served as the captain of his varsity golf team for three years, an experience that strengthened his leadership skills, teamwork, and deep appreciation for the game.

In addition to golf, Parker holds a third-degree black belt in Taekwondo and spent two years as an instructor. His martial arts background taught him the importance of discipline and mutual respect—both from student to coach and coach to student.

Parker genuinely enjoys working with kids, especially in the context of golf. He finds their unpredictability both challenging and rewarding, pushing him to stay sharp and providing a meaningful opportunity to support young players’ growth both on and off the course.
