With nearly two decades of experience on the golf course, I've honed my skills to achieve a current 4.6 handicap. While I possess a strong understanding of overall golf strategy and technique, my true expertise lies in the short game, particularly putting. I believe that mastering these finesse shots is crucial for lowering scores and building confidence on the green. I'm passionate about sharing my knowledge and helping fellow golfers improve their game. Whether you're struggling with your putting stroke, chipping accuracy, or course management, I'm dedicated to providing personalized guidance and support to help you achieve your golfing goals.

•About me (golf) My name is Noel Sims. I am a professional golfer located in Phoenix, Arizona. I am 27-years old and have been playing the game since I could walk. I have been competing in golf tournaments from ages 3-current and have played in some elite events as a junior golfer, amateur golfer and professional golfer. While finishing my junior career, I was ranked the #1 African-American in the nation and top 240 in the world on the JGS rankings. I played 1-year at South Mountain Community College where I was apart of a NJCAA National Championship team in 2016 and finished my collegiate career at Alabama State from years 2017-2021 (redshirt year at SMCC and a Covid-19 year at ASU). I was a consistent starting at both programs and have a lot experience of playing different styles of golf. I turned professional in 2021 and have made 2/2 cuts at the 2021 Outlaw Tour Wigwam Red Classic and the 2023 Arizona Open (haven’t played much professional due to finishing my Master’s Degree while also working after my collegiate career). • About me (education) I have an extensive passion for helping others reach their true potential. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Communication Studies and a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. My passion for others goes farther than just helping others in a room, but also outdoors! I find enjoyment in seeing others progress and passing my knowledge to others when it comes to golf and also recommendations with life.

Hi, I’m Rian Weston-Dodds, I’ve been playing for 6 years now coaching for about 3. I have a 5.0 DUPR rating and have coached at various locations across the valley including Picklemall, Life Time, the Picklr, and many public and private courts. PPR certified. I specialize in helping intermediate players improve with strategy and technique, but can also help beginner players get a handle on the game. I look forward to working with you on the court! At the moment, the Mountainside Fitness on Frank Lloyd Wright is the easiest way to get a an indoor court during the summer, free for members and only $10 for non members. It is on a basketball court but it works fine for practice. Otherwise, The Orchard Indoor Pickleball Private Event Venue by Talking Stick resort is also a good option for a rentable, authentic indoor court. But it does cost $40 for an hour. Outdoors, public parks are usually not busy midday. But the Oasis Community Church has outdoor courts for rent and they only ask for 10% of the lesson fee. If you have your own private, court let me know.

I'm originally from Poland and started playing tennis when I was 7 years old. It quickly became my passion. I worked hard and became one of the top 10 players in Poland, traveling around Europe to play in ITF tournaments. In college, I played for a Division 1 school and helped my team win two regional championships. After graduating, I turned my focus to coaching. I've used my extensive playing experience to guide and develop young players. I worked with local tennis pros and as an assistant coach at a tennis academy in Minneapolis. Alongside coaching, I've also enjoyed being a counselor at an elementary school, where I get to positively influence young children. Drawing from my rich background, I became deeply involved in coaching, offering my expertise and experience to budding talents. I collaborated with local tennis professionals and worked as an assistant, imparting knowledge and fostering growth in a tennis academy situated in Minneapolis. In tandem with my coaching endeavors, I found immense joy in working as a counselor in an elementary school, cherishing the opportunity to make a positive impact on young minds.
