For a little over 30 years I’ve been a PGA instructor and successfully helped golfers from beginners to touring professionals hone their golfing skills. I will make you better at this great game no matter your skill level. My experience of playing at all levels including the PGA Tour coupled with my teaching background enable me to connect with all levels of golfers. I teach at Papago golf course which is also the home Arizona State University golf teams. Papago Opened in September of 1963 and Hosted the 1971 USGA Public Links Championship with my father Arch as the first Head Professional. Watching him teach as I was growing up gave me the fundamentals for teaching philosophy that has carried with me throughout my entire career. I specialize in Private one-on-one lessons covering the entire spectrum of the game, but also will do group lessons and clinics for the short game only.

"Scott is a true professional. He helped me completely rebuild my golf swing. Scott is extremely patient and has a deep knowledge of all aspects of the game. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to change their game."

I have been playing golf all my life, beginning with the First Tee program, which taught me that golf is more than a sport—it's a way to carry yourself, conduct business, and much more. The program instilled values such as courtesy, respect, integrity, sportsmanship, honesty, and confidence, which I live by and which have helped me throughout my golfing journey. I have competed at many levels, including SCPGA, AJGA, mini tours like the Pepsi Tour, and college golf, experiencing the game in various settings. Golf has taken me all over, and I love helping others discover and enjoy the sport.

With 18 years immersed in volleyball and 9 years of coaching experience between private & semi-private lessons, recreational and Club volleyball, I look forward to helping all levels reach their potential and personal goals! I offer private volleyball lessons for beginner to intermediate athletes who want to build strong fundamentals, improve confidence, and elevate their overall game. While I specialize in setting and libero training, I coach all positions and tailor each session to the athlete’s individual needs and goals. My training approach combines technical skill development, game awareness, and agility, strength, and conditioning to help players become well-rounded and game-ready. I use a wide range of professional training equipment—including targets, passing trainers, setter and hitter tools, and portable pop-up nets—to create engaging, effective sessions whether we’re in a gym or training on the go. I offer one-on-one and small group lessons, allowing for focused instruction and personalized feedback. My goal is to help athletes grow not just as volleyball players, but as confident competitors who understand the game and enjoy the process of improving.

"As a parent, I couldn't be more grateful for everything Coach AJ has done for my daughter and the entire team. Since joining the club, my daughter's skills, confidence, and understanding of the game have grown tremendously. AJ has challenged her to work hard, believe in herself, and continue improving every day. What stands out the most is the culture she has created. There is healthy competition that encourages every player to earn their position while still supporting and celebrating one another. The girls are pushed to be their best without feeling like they're competing against each other in a negative way. Coach AJ has also built a positive atmosphere for the parents. Communication is clear, expectations are consistent, and there is a strong emphasis on respect, teamwork, and good sportsmanship. It truly feels like everyone is working toward the same goal of helping the girls grow as athletes and as people. We are so thankful for the time, dedication, and GREAT passion AJ brings to every practice and tournament. If you're looking for a coach who develops skills, builds confidence, and creates a positive team culture, I highly recommend Coach AJ or Club VOS at Tempe where she coaches.

" Ina was terrific for me. Before Ina my handicap was 30 plus or minus 5. After a couple of lessons, and a few weeks of playing and adhering to Ina’s easily applied weight distribution and maintaining spine position, I am happy to say golf is much more enjoyable. My handicap dropped to 20 plus or minus 5 now. I shot an 86 last week on a par 72 course which is my career best. Before Ina when topping or chunking shots I had no idea what I did wrong. Now when I occasionally chunk a shot I know why it occurred. It is easily corrected by reverting back to what Ina taught in those two lessons. Now my goal is to shoot for a 10-15 handicap. I can’t believe how much she has made this game so much more enjoyable. Don’t get me wrong I still get frustrated at times - but I am much more consistent and playing better than ever before. Next up will be a couple of lessons on chipping where my game is the most inconsistent at present. No matter what your level is I strongly recommend Ina for anybody desiring improvement and finishing a round with much more satisfaction.

"Tim's approach to teaching pickleball has been a game-changer for me. As a former volleyball player, I was looking for a new sport to keep me active and engaged, and Tim's passion for pickleball was contagious. He was able to tailor his instruction to my skill level, and I found myself quickly picking up the basics and improving my technique. His dedication to helping others find joy in the game is unmatched, and I'm thrilled to have more fun and more W's under my belt!
