Debbie Blount is in her first year as Assistant Women’s Golf Coach and her fifth year with Reinhardt University following a four-year playing career. As a player at Reinhardt, she qualified for every tournament but one during her four years of eligibility, giving her the third-highest number of college rounds (79) in Reinhardt history. She had an all-tournament finish at the 2021 Tennessee Wesleyan Spring Invitational and contributed to the Eagles' first win at the 2022 Tennessee Wesleyan Invitational. Debbie was named to the Women’s Golf Coaches of America All Scholar team three times and received the prestigious Kim Moore Spirit Award for NAIA for the 2021/2022 season. She drew national media attention as the oldest college athlete in history by starting her college athletic and academic career at age 62 but brings a youthful enthusiasm to the team. Although she took up golf a bit later in life so she could enjoy the game with her late husband Ben,  she has a passion for the game, and especially Reinhardt University Golf! Debbie lives in Sandy Springs with her three dogs. When not on a golf course, she enjoys fitness-related activities,  cooking, and entertaining friends and family.
