He was best known for teaching grand slam winning golfer Bobby Jones.

His father James worked as a payroll clerk at a metal foundry in Carnoustie.

Along with Jones, Maiden is known for teaching other golfers such as Watts Gunn and Alexa Stirling.

As a young boy, Jones followed Maiden around the course at East Lake and fashioned his swing after the professional.

[1][2] In 1919 Maiden left East Lake, having been replaced by Willie Ogg, to accept a post as professional at the St. Louis Country Club in Ladue, Missouri.
