I started working with Debby in 2021! She provides a passion for the game, with a lifetime of expertise, and good old fashion hard work. Wish I had met her decades ago!

Don Nahnsen

Testimonial:

Debby knows how to generate clubhead speed and how to help me hit it farther and straighter. She is an outstanding player and a better instructor.

Sharon Hadley

Testimonial:

Debby has been a long time student of mine. Pound-for-Pound, Debby hits the longest ball I have ever seen. That's why I gave her the nickname "TNT", which stands for "Tiny and Tough. She can definitely help with your swing.

Bob Toski

Testimonial:

Debby provides a check list and swing notes which I carry in my golf bag for a quick reminder when needed. Simply put, Debby is the BEST.

Marilyn

Testimonial:

If I need improvement in an area, I return to Debby and she gives me the tools that I need to improve. I am in my 70's and my swing is the best that it has ever been. I highly recommend Debby King as a golf instructor and coach.
