Jennifer King

Pioneer, Visionary, Entrepreneur

These words have defined Jennifer King throughout her career, whether she was taking to the air as the first female newscaster for KNBC Los Angeles, or squaring off against the USGA in 2004 to gain conforming status for KZG’s groundbreaking twin-faced driver, the Gemini (she won!). After leaving KNBC, King earned a Juris Doctorate Degree from Southwestern School of Law and ran her own successful law practice. Specializing in business law, she helped numerous companies from a variety of industries make the transition from startup ventures to profitable enterprises. Groomed by her law experience, King became involved in the golf business by selling innovative and technologically advanced clubheads and shafts to major golf companies. But she soon recognized the industry’s more compelling void: an absence of innovative, high-performance golf equipment with proprietary designs for Professional ClubFitters. King launched KZG in 1998, and it quickly emerged as The #1 Custom ProLine. Today, KZG’s overwhelming success is a direct reflection of King’s tireless efforts to provide the best custom golf equipment on the market and to help grow the entire clubfitting industry.

Brad Whalen

Director of Technology - British PGA, Master Fitter, Master Builder

Brad was raised in Scotland and fell in love with the game right from the start. His passion has become his profession. He is a British PGA teaching professional, plays off a +5 handicap, is a Master Club Fitter recognized as one of the World’s Top 100 Fitters, and a Master Builder. Brad was a KZG Dealer in Oklahoma and when he learned about our project in Palm Desert he jumped on board. His approach has always been to educate the golfer each step of the fitting process. Life long relationships with his clients are the norm given his easy-going style and the time he takes to learn about each golfer’s game and goals. Brad is one of the trainers for the KZG 3-Day Master Certification Course offered to the top fitters around the globe. Brad recently just received his Trackman Certification, one of the few pros in the Coachella that holds this credential.
