TruGolf Links Partners with Local Entrepreneur

In an exciting development for golf enthusiasts across Tennessee, TruGolf Links Franchising, LLC has entered into a franchise development agreement with Knoxville native John Young. This partnership will lead to the establishment of 40 new TruGolf locations statewide, starting with a flagship center in Knoxville. As the new Regional Developer, Young is set to transform indoor golfing experiences, making them accessible and enjoyable for everyone, regardless of skill level.

A Passion for Golf and Community

John Young, whose background in accounting and operations has seen him successfully establish a cloud-based accounting firm for nonprofits, brings both business acuumen and a love for the game to this venture. Growing up in Knoxville, Young has cherished memories of golf, rooted in family traditions and stories about his father’s annual golf trips. His passion for the sport is intertwined with his desire to build community spaces where people can gather and connect, rain or shine.

"I'm thrilled to bring TruGolf Links to Tennessee, starting with our first flagship location right here in Knoxville," remarked Young. He expressed his vision of creating a space that welcomes everyone whether they are experienced players or new to the game. He aims for the locations to be fun retreats that emphasize connection and enjoyment over competition.

An Innovative Approach to Franchise Development

The TruGolf Links concept is more than just typical golf simulators; it pairs state-of-the-art technology with an inviting atmosphere. Each facility will include multiple simulator bays, a high-end bar and dining area, and a pro shop, all designed to enhance the golfing experience. The flagship location in Knoxville promises to occupy a minimum of 5,000 square feet, focusing on creating an environment that is both entertaining and relaxing for golfers and non-golfers alike.

Chris Jones, TruGolf’s founder and CEO, highlighted the need for a support system that benefits both owner-operators and investors. “We are thrilled to have John join us on this mission to deliver our tech-forward vision to golfers everywhere,” he stated. With an eye towards community involvement and accessibility, TruGolf aims to redefine how and when golf can be played, moving beyond traditional outdoor courses into innovative indoor setups.

Building a Legacy in Knoxville

Young’s commitment to family and community underscores his business approach. He emphasizes the role of golf in providing a platform for friends and families to share experiences together. He stated, “Growing up, I saw firsthand how golf brings people together. Now I have the chance to create those spaces for others.” His excitement for the project is contagious, and the sense of personal investment he has in TruGolf Links illustrates the potential it has to become a beloved locale for the community.

Collaboration with the company’s executive team is just the beginning of Young’s role. He will not only oversee the development of local centers but will also distribute the full line of TruGolf products, granting him a unique position within the company.

Looking Ahead

TruGolf Links offers a comprehensive franchise program and is actively seeking opportunities for individual and regional developers. As they aim for significant expansions, each franchise will contribute to a growing network dedicated to creating spaces where golf can be enjoyed by all.
