About
The Vision, The Coach, The Pathway.
My vision is to redefine junior golf development in the South Atlanta Region by creating a complete pathway where athletes are empowered to train with purpose, compete with confidence, and grow into champions on and off the course. Through high-level coaching, innovative training environments, and a commitment to the excellence, we aim to shape the future of golf in our community, one junior at a time.
Coach Joseph Saferian is a nationally respected golf development expert with a relentless drive to help junior golfers reach the highest levels of the game. Based in South Atlanta, he is the Founder & Director of Instruction of The Medalist Academy and Co-Owner of 365 Golf, Peachtree City's Premier Indoor Golf Performance Center.
The Medalist Pathway allows every junior golfer the ability to follow a clear, proven pathway designed to develop complete athletes-from their first competitive experience to elite national play. Start with a New Player Assessment, then the coach and family will choose the best program based on age, skill, and goals. Whether you're just getting started or chasing college golf, there's a clear path forward.
Join The Program That Fits Best: Based on the assessment, players will either begin with a Personalized Lesson Plan tailored to their development needs, or-if qualified-be invited to join one of our two elite academies: The Medalist Next Academy or The Medalist Academy.

New Player Assessment: A 60-minute evaluation designed to understand each golfer's current skill level, physical capabilities, and on-course mindset. We assess full swing, short game, putting, and athletic movement to create a personalized development plan and recommend the best program fit.

Now The Journey Begins. Players will gain full access to their CoachNow Academy account, allowing them to book private lessons or attend Academy sessions, while tracking progress and communication all in one place. They’ll also be invited to download the TPI Client App for personalized golf fitness training and the Telos App for mental performance development. As a core pillar of our program, each player will receive a Daily Journal and Goal Setting Notebook to help build self-awareness, track progress, and stay accountable throughout their journey.

Could not say enough positive things about Coach Joseph! My son has been working with him since the time we meet him and we absolutely love all aspects of his teachings! Coach’s knowledge of the game is extensive and he works tirelessly to transfer that knowledge to the kids but always keeps it fun and entertaining for them to enjoy! Would recommend to him to anyone looking to improve their game on the course no matter their skill level he will work to help you!
