Keith Scioli, founder and CEO of app-based golf instruction platform Golf Live, has announced that Texan entrepreneur Dustin Wombel has joined the company’s Board of Advisors as an investor in Golf Live’s $5m capital raise and will be an active participant in the company’s growth.
Launched earlier this year, Golf Live is a virtual golf instruction tool that connects students with certified coaches for live, interactive video lessons, utilizing patented technology to record, replay, and analyze a golfer’s swing in real-time.
The platform provides features like live streaming, drawing tools for swing analysis, saved lesson libraries for review, and communication tools for between-session support. By offering remote, engaging, and recordable lessons, Golf Live aims to provide a premium, flexible coaching experience, allowing coaches to scale their business and golfers to receive personalized instruction.
