North Castle CEO Chip Baird explained in a statement why the private equity firm meshes so well with Full Swing: “The foundation of the North Castle approach is to partner with exceptional management teams and industry professionals to unlock the full potential of companies focused on healthy, active and sustainable living. We welcome Ryan Dotters and the Full Swing team to the North Castle family.”
Full Swing also received an investment from the popular entertainment venue Topgolf. The two will work together to promote and grow Topgolf Swing Suite — the first of which opened at the Four Seasons Hotel in downtown Houston.
Full Swing is currently the only simulator with the ability to track and measure ball flight indoors. It’s also the chosen simulator for many PGA pros including Tiger Woods, Jordan Spieth, Jason Day, Jim Furyk, Smylie Kaufman and Patrick Reed — many of whom have systems installed in their homes.
“We could not be more excited to have North Castle and Topgolf come on board with their resources and expertise to help us accelerate growth and separate ourselves even further from the competition,” Full Swing CEO Ryan Dotters said in a statement. “On behalf of my team, we are very pleased to be partnering with North Castle to realize Full Swing’s full potential and further our mission to train and entertain enthusiasts worldwide.”
