TruGolf Links Franchisee Takes on Developing all of Long Island

Successful Healthcare Entrepreneur Goes All in to Develop Long Island Iconic Golf Simulator Company's New Concept

CENTERVILLE, Utah, Dec. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- TruGolf Links Franchising, LLC ("TruGolf"), wholly owned by TruGolf Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: TRUG), the leading provider of golf simulator software and hardware, announced today its franchisee in New York becomes the Regional Developer for all of Long Island.  Giovanni "Gio" Dinsay, a local physical therapist with over 27 years of experience, has opened 20 high-performing "Within Normal Limits"  outpatient clinics on Long Island and in Queens, and turns his sights towards the burgeoning indoor golf business.  "I am excited to represent the best technology for indoor golf on the planet", said Dinsay, "TruGolf Links brings more courses, better graphics and unparalleled analytics to the local golfer, along with high quality food and beverage for everyone". 

Originally signing a single-unit franchise agreement, the more he realized a much bigger opportunity to take advantage of the unique Regional Developer franchise offer from TruGolf Links.  He can open, own and operate as many locations as he wants, but he can also recruit independent franchisees to own locations on Long Island.  He also will provide local support for all the locations in his territory, receiving compensation from TruGolf Links for recruiting and supporting franchisees.  Dinsay has the opportunity to develop 50 or more locations on Long Island.  At the Regional Developer for Long Island, he also has the distribution rights for the full line of TruGolf products including in-home simulator systems and the company's newest "Launchbox".

"We started TruGolf Links because of our passion for golf any time of the year," said Chris Jones, founder and CEO of TruGolf, Inc. "We need to ensure both owner-operators and investors are supported, and we've developed an innovative approach to achieve this by offering a variety of growth paths. We are thrilled to have Gio partner with us to dominate Long Island with our TruGolf Links retail concept, delivering our tech-forward vision to golfers across Long Island."

TruGolf Links is transforming the way golf is played, practiced, and enjoyed with state-of-the-art indoor golf simulators that blend realism, technology, and accessibility. With proprietary software, precision tracking systems, and immersive course simulations, TruGolf Links provides a best-in- class experience for everyone—from beginners to PGA professionals. In addition to recreation, TruGolf simulators are also being integrated into health, wellness, and performance training environments, helping individuals improve posture, coordination, strength, and range of motion through the game of golf.

"When Gio joined TruGolf Links he was a contributor immediately with a fresh view on the business", said Dr. Ben Litalien, CFE, Chief Development Officer at TruGolf Links. "As a healthcare provider he realized the connection between physical health and performance, making him a tremendous asset to our team.  Together we will change indoor golf for good".

TruGolf Links, known for delivering immersive, high-tech golf simulator experiences, is expanding nationwide through a network of experienced entrepreneurs like Dinsay. Regional Developer, Nick Reimondo in New Jersey is set to open his first TruGolf Links location in Cherry Hill, New Jersey early next year.  Dinsay has leases in the works for locations in Westbury, Dix Hills and Farmingdale on Long Island, opening at least three next year. 

The company is rapidly expanding across the U.S. through a regional developer model, partnering with high-level entrepreneurs and professionals who are aligned with its vision of bringing golf indoors to more communities, more often. The regional developer franchise allows them to build a network of franchise locations in their territory and participate in the revenues generated. The regional developer franchisees are also offered a reseller agreement to represent the full line of TruGolf products in their territory, a unique and unparalleled opportunity.
