"Whether you are brand new to golf, someone who is actively looking to lower your handicap, or maybe someone who is stuck in a rut mentally, Heath will meet you where you’re at. He’s got a knack for identifying solutions, and communicating effectively no matter who he’s working with. Heath helped me go from a 20+ handicap down to a 12. A few months ago, I hit a mental hurdle and had two of the worst rounds Ive had in years. Thinking I forgot how to play, I reached out to Heath for advice. Not only did he give me some sound advice/drills to focus on when at the range, but he helped me restore confidence in myself for the next time I hit the course. I came out the next round and bounced back with a low 80’s score at one of the hardest courses I’ve ever played. This is what Heath does. He’s married to the game of golf and he’s a natural when it comes to coaching it. If you live in Arizona and you’re looking for lessons, I couldn’t recommend Heath highly enough.

•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.

"I’ve taken over 100 golf lessons with the same instructor, starting from the days I could barely make solid contact. Back then, my goal was simple—just keep the ball in play. Fast forward to today, and I’m shooting consistently in the mid-80s. That transformation didn’t happen by accident. My instructor is the kind of teacher you almost don’t want to tell the world about—because once people find out, his schedule will be impossible to get on. He has a rare gift for breaking down complex mechanics into simple, feel-based cues that actually stick. He doesn’t just teach the swing—he teaches you how to play the game, manage the course, and think like a better golfer. In my opinion, he’s a diamond in the rough, and absolutely deserves to be recognized among the elite instructors in the game today.
