Graham Sports & Entertainment Partners and Bolt Ventures Invest in MyGolfSpy
Investment establishes Pin High Golf as a new platform to build a leading independent golf media, data, and experiences company.
Graham Sports & Entertainment Partners (“GSE”), an operator-led investment firm focused on the sports, media, and entertainment ecosystem, and Bolt Ventures, David Blitzer’s single-family office focused on investing in sports, media, and entertainment, are pleased to announce their investment in MyGolfSpy (“MGS”), a trusted independent golf equipment media and testing platform. The transaction, which closed in May 2026 and was completed through the newly formed Pin High Golf platform, is designed to support MGS’s next phase of growth while preserving the editorial independence and testing-led approach that have made the company a trusted resource for golfers.
Founded in 2008 by Adam Beach and headquartered in Yorktown, Virginia, MGS is a leading independent voice in golf equipment that utilizes 15 years of proprietary testing data, an in-house testing facility, and a highly engaged community of golfers. MGS is supported by a roster of more than 300 volunteer testers and a controlled testing infrastructure that includes five simulators, enabling rigorous reviews across clubs, balls, and accessories. The company’s “Most Wanted” and “Tested & Approved” frameworks have become recognized markers within the golf equipment ecosystem, reflecting MGS’s focus on objective data, technical expertise, and consumer trust.
“We view MyGolfSpy as a trusted, category-defining brand with a differentiated data asset and a deeply engaged audience,” said David Blitzer. “The community of over 300 disciplined equipment testers has created a reliable leader in the space.”
“Through the creation of Pin High Golf, we are excited to build upon the success of MyGolfSpy as we seek to scale the business as the anchor asset of an innovative, preeminent independent media and experiences platform in golf,” said Shervin Mirhashemi, Co-Founder and CEO at GSE.
Seth Waugh, Senior Advisor at GSE and former CEO of the PGA of America added, “Adam and the MyGolfSpy team have curated a purpose-built, unique platform for golfers, and we appreciate their longstanding dedication to being one of the most credible voices in the space.”
Adam Beach, Founder and CEO of MyGolfSpy, commented, “When we started MyGolfSpy, we believed golfers deserved the truth, not marketing. That belief became the foundation of everything we’ve built. Partnering with Bolt and GSE gives us the resources to accelerate our mission, expand our testing and technology, and help more golfers make smarter decisions than ever before. The mission hasn’t changed. We’re just getting started.”
Through the creation of the Pin High Golf platform, GSE and Bolt Ventures seek to deepen relationships with golf OEMs and retailers, expand direct and programmatic advertising, grow video and affiliate commerce, and selectively pursue partnerships and acquisitions across golf media, data, and experiences.
