Hi, I’m Zainab James — a former competitive golfer who believes that great golf starts with a love for the game and a strong foundation. I began playing at nine years old and spent nearly a decade competing professionally, representing Jamaica at the Caribbean Amateur Golf Championships three times and playing throughout the Caribbean, the U.S., and Canada. At eighteen, I earned a golf scholarship to Barry University in Miami but chose a different path, joining the U.S. Air Force to continue growing through discipline, service, and leadership. Today, I combine that same focus and commitment with my passion for golf to help players of all levels master the basics and enjoy every moment on the course. My coaching style is patient, encouraging, and centered on helping you build confidence, consistency, and genuine joy in your game.

As a 4.5 player and PPR certified coach, I’m passionate about helping others learn and improve, and I truly enjoy every aspect of pickleball.
