The clients of Range Golf will benefit from player development, marketing and endorsements, as well as Range Studios’ content development in unscripted and scripted television and film projects. The unit will also be investing in golf IP, product and services in partnership with the company’s business development and analytics team.
Additionally, Range Golf will produce live events beginning with the debut of “Fan Controlled Golf,” featuring Joel Dahmen. In this live event, fans will be able to use interactive technology to vote in real time and decide the shots players will hit during matches.

His reputation, skillset, and business acumen are truly best-in-class. He’s an outstanding champion for his golfer clients and a wildly successful golf industry entrepreneur.”
