Official Hole in One (OHi1) has announced the appointment of Chris Beaumont as director of marketing & partnerships, joining co-founders Andrew Brooks and Adam Brindle to lead the company’s marketing function and build its partnerships with golf venues, resorts and brands worldwide.

Beaumont brings more than two decades of golf industry experience driving consumer engagement, brand presence and tour-level activations across premier golf organisations, including Titleist and, most recently, LIV Golf, where he was marketing director. His track record across high-performance equipment, event experiences and venue partnerships will be central to scaling OHi1’s global footprint.

The appointment comes at a moment of rapid growth for OHi1. Since launching in February this year, the company has contracted with around 100 golf clubs across the UK and Europe, built a full-time team of 15 staff and is preparing to expand into Asia, the UAE and the USA in 2027.

“Bringing Chris in is a statement of intent. With the pace that Official Hole in One has grown, we need people who have done it at the very top of the game,” said Andrew Brooks, CEO of Official Hole in One. “Chris has built high-impact partnerships during his time at Titleist and LIV Golf, he understands what venues and brands actually need, and he’ll lead the partnerships engine that takes us global. Golf is the only industry that holds its customers’ attention for four hours and does nothing with it. We’re changing that, and Chris is going to help us do it faster.”

Beaumont said: “Golf is evolving fast, and players are hungry for modern, high-energy experiences that make every single shot count. Joining Andrew, Adam and the team at such a pivotal moment is incredible.

“We’re not just offering another event activation. We’re giving venues an effortless way to supercharge player engagement, drive high-margin revenue and give every golfer who steps onto the tee a real shot at becoming a legend.”

OHi1 was built on a simple premise: what if every golfer could stand on the tee and feel the heart-pounding thrill of a tour professional with everything on the line?

Every golfer gets a shot at life-changing prizes on everyday par threes, while venues gain a high-margin, zero-liability revenue stream, plus additional income from golfers upgrading to higher prize tiers. For society days, corporate events and tournaments, OHi1 also offers a turnkey pop-up option that adds revenue to every event.

Whether integrated into daily play, resort rounds, society days or prestigious corporate tournaments, Official Hole in One takes the raw excitement of golf’s greatest milestone and puts it within reach of every player.
