NEWTON GOLF: A Sacks Parente Company (Nasdaq: SPGC) (“NEWTON GOLF”
or the “Company”), a technology-forward golf company with a growing
portfolio of golf products, including putters, golf shafts, golf
grips, and other golf-related accessories, announces the
appointment of Doug Samuelson as its Chief Financial Officer,

“Doug’s extensive accounting and financial
reporting experience, including roles as CFO of a number of
publicly and privately traded companies, will be invaluable as we
expect to continue our growth trajectory over the coming years. We
welcome him to NEWTON GOLF and look forward to his contributions,”
commented NEWTON GOLF Executive Chairman Greg Campbell.
Doug Samuelson, CPA (inactive), began his
30-year career with Arthur Anderson LLP, providing audit and
business advisory services to many small-to-middle market
companies. He later joined numerous public and privately-held
companies and served in various financial reporting and audit
roles, including as CFO for Response Genetics, Medacta USA, Smack
Sportswear, Solis Tek, AdvaVet, Wellness Center USA, Genelux, and,
most recently, Kairos Pharma, a position he held since 2019. Mr.
Samuelson brings significant SEC reporting experience, Sarbanes
Oxley compliance experience, and over 10 years in public
accounting. He received his B.S. in Accounting from the University
of Utah, his M.S. in Computer Science from California State
University, Northridge, and was previously a Certified Public
Accountant in the state of California.
“I am eager to join an emerging golf equipment
provider and the team at NEWTON GOLF. The Company’s Newton Motion
line of replacement golf shafts and innovative putters are
contributing to strong revenue growth, and I’m excited to provide
strategic financial leadership as the Company looks to continue its
aggressive growth,” said Mr. Samuelson. “I believe my CFO
experience with publicly traded companies will be valuable in
supporting the Company’s vision.”
Mr. Samuelson replaces former CFO Steve Handy,
who resigned to pursue other options and whose departure is not the
result of any disagreement with management concerning the Company’s
operations or management.
