“I am honored to join Newton Golf as golf experiences continue participation growth and increasing demand for performance-driven customization,” stated Bode. “The company’s market leadership in driver and fairway shaft sales, as well as its legacy of innovation in physics-driven golf equipment engineering, makes it well-suited for these favorable golf participation trends. I look forward to working with my fellow directors to guide the company’s continued growth and success as it seeks to expand its product line and international reach.”
