David Hunter, Founder and CEO of Shot Scope, said:

“This investment accelerates our mission to deliver game improvement technology to 60 million golfers around the world. Throughout 2024, we plan to invest in infrastructure across North America and beyond to support our retail and distribution partners. Golf has experienced a huge change in the past five years, as people of all ages and demographics are entering the sport. With Shot Scope, they can improve quickly and enjoy the game they love even more.”

Founded in Scotland (the Home of Golf) by Hunter, Shot Scope became a trusted name in the UK, with key buying groups, green grass retailers, and pro shops welcoming the brand into their networks. With Shot Scope products readily available across the UK and Europe, the organization looks to establish the same trust worldwide.

Adam Barker of Guinness Ventures added:

“Shot Scope’s innovative product and software suite is meeting strong market demand, positioning the company for significant expansion both domestically and internationally. As lead investor, we are thrilled to further support Shot Scope at this inflection point and to continue being a part of its exciting growth journey.”
