Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Bank

If on November 5, 2024 your shares were held, not in your name, but rather in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and the Notice is being forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered to be the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent regarding how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting by registering at https://meeting.vstocktransfer.com/SACKSPARENTEDEC24. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares at the meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your broker or other agent.

What am I voting on?

There are two matters scheduled for a vote:

● To elect the five nominees for director named herein; and

● To ratify the appointment of Weinberg & Company, P.A. as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

What if another matter is properly brought before the meeting?

The Board of Directors knows of no other matters that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxy to vote on those matters in accordance with their best judgment.

How Do I Vote?

You may either vote “For” all the nominees to the Board of Directors or you may “Withhold” your vote for any nominee you specify. For each of the other matters to be voted on, you may vote “For” or “Against” or abstain from voting.

The procedures for voting are fairly simple:

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote at the Annual Meeting or vote by proxy using the enclosed proxy card. Alternatively, you may vote by proxy on the Internet. Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may still attend the meeting and vote even if you have already voted by proxy.

● To vote using the proxy card, simply complete, sign and date the proxy card that may be delivered and return it promptly in the envelope provided. If you return your signed proxy card to us before the Annual Meeting, we will vote your shares as you direct.

● To vote through the internet, go to https://ts.vstocktransfer.com/pxlogin to complete an electronic proxy card. You will be asked to provide the control number from the proxy card. Your internet vote must be received by 11:59 pm Pacific Time on December 15, 2024 to be counted.

● To vote during the Annual Meeting, visit https://ts.vstocktransfer.com/pxlogin during the Meeting when instructed to vote and vote using the control number from the proxy card.

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker or Bank

If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank, or other agent, you should have received a Notice containing voting instructions from that organization rather than from the Company. Simply follow the voting instructions in the Notice to ensure that your vote is counted. To vote at the Annual Meeting, you must submit proof of your proxy power via a Legal Proxy, obtained from your broker or other agent, reflecting your account name and Sacks Parente Golf, Inc. holdings along with a completed and signed voting form to [email protected] when instructed to vote. Follow the instructions from your broker or bank included with these proxy materials, or contact your broker or bank to request a proxy form.

What if I have technical difficulties or trouble accessing the virtual Annual Meeting?

The virtual meeting platform is fully supported across browsers (MS Edge, Firefox, Chrome and Safari) and devices (desktops, laptops, tablets and cell phones) running the most up-to-date version of applicable software and plugins. Participants should ensure that they have a strong WiFi connection wherever they intend to participate in the meeting. We encourage you to access the meeting prior to the start time. A link on the meeting page will provide further assistance should you need it, or you may call Zoom support.

How many votes do I have?

On each matter to be voted upon, you have one vote for each share of common stock you own as of November 5, 2024.

What happens if I do not vote?

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

If you are a stockholder of record and do not vote by completing your proxy card through the internet or at the Annual Meeting, your shares will not be voted.

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker or Bank

Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market. However, under current New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules and interpretations that govern broker non-votes, if you are a beneficial owner and do not instruct your broker, bank, or other agent how to vote your shares, the question of whether your broker or nominee will still be able to vote your shares depends on whether the NYSE deems the particular proposal to be a “routine” matter. Brokers and nominees can use their discretion to vote “uninstructed” shares with respect to matters that are considered to be “routine”, but not with respect to “non-routine” matters. Under the rules and interpretations of the NYSE, “non-routine” matters are matters that may substantially affect the rights or privileges of stockholders, such as mergers, stockholder proposals, elections of directors (even if not contested), executive compensation (including any advisory stockholder votes on executive compensation), and certain corporate governance proposals, even if management-supported. Accordingly, your broker or nominee may not vote your shares on Proposal 1 without your instructions, but may vote your shares on Proposal 2 even in the absence of your instructions. Because NYSE rules apply to all brokers that are members of the NYSE, the foregoing rules apply to the Annual Meeting even though our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

What if I return a proxy card or otherwise vote but do not make specific choices?

If you return a signed and dated proxy card or otherwise vote without marking voting selections, your shares will be voted, as applicable, “For” the election of all five nominees for director and, “For” the proposal to ratify the appointment of Weinberg & Company, P.A. as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. If any other matter is properly presented at the meeting, your proxyholder (one of the individuals named on your proxy card) will vote your shares using his or her best judgment.

Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?

We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. In addition to these proxy materials, our directors and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone, or by other means of communication. Directors and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.

What does it mean if I receive more than one set of proxy materials?

If you receive more than one set, your shares may be registered in more than one name or in different accounts. Please follow the voting instructions on the proxy materials to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

Can I change my vote after submitting my proxy?

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

Yes. You can revoke your proxy at any time before the final vote at the meeting. If you are the record holder of your shares, you may revoke your proxy in any one of the following ways:

● You may submit another properly completed proxy card with a later date.

● You may grant a subsequent proxy through the internet.

● You may send a timely written notice that you are revoking your proxy to the Company’s Secretary at 555 Calle San Pablo, Camarillo, CA 93012.

● You may vote during the Annual Meeting which will be hosted via the Internet.

Your most current proxy card internet proxy is the one that is counted.

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker or Bank

If your shares are held by your broker or bank as a nominee or agent, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker or bank.

When are stockholder proposals and director nominations due for next year’s Annual Meeting?

Under the Company’s Bylaws, your proposal (including a director nomination) must be submitted in writing to Sacks Parente Golf, Inc., Attn: Secretary, at 555 Calle San Pablo, Camarillo, CA 93012, not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the one year anniversary of this year’s annual meeting. Accordingly, notice of a proposal must be submitted no earlier than August 17, 2025 and no later than September 15, 2025. You are also advised to review the Company’s Bylaws, which contain additional requirements relating to advance notice of stockholder proposals and director nominations.

How are votes counted?

Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the meeting, who will separately count, for the proposal to elect directors, votes “For”, “Withhold” and broker non-votes; and, with respect to Proposal 2, votes “For” and “Against”, and abstentions.

What are “broker non-votes”?

As discussed above, when a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” does not give instructions to the broker or nominee holding the shares as to how to vote on matters deemed by the NYSE to be “non-routine”, the broker or nominee cannot vote the shares. These unvoted shares are counted as “broker non-votes.”

How Many Votes Are Needed for Each Proposal to Pass?

Vote cast online during the virtual Annual Meeting will constitute votes cast in person at the Annual Meeting for purposes of the votes.

What Constitutes a Quorum?

To carry on business at the Annual Meeting, we must have a quorum. A quorum is present when a majority of the shares entitled to vote, as of the Record Date, are represented in person or by proxy. Virtual attendance at the Annual Meeting constitutes presence in person for purposes of a quorum at the meeting. Thus, holders representing at least 912,784 shares must be represented in person or by proxy to have a quorum. Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other nominee) or if you vote at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement. Shares owned by us are not considered outstanding or considered to be present at the Annual Meeting. If there is not a quorum at the Annual Meeting, our stockholders may adjourn the meeting.

How can I find out the Results of the Voting at the Annual Meeting?

Preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. Final voting results will be published in a Current Report on Form 8-K, which we will file with the SEC within four business days of the annual meeting.

PROPOSAL 1:

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Each director to be elected at the Annual Meeting will serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her successor is elected, or, if sooner, until such director’s death, resignation or removal. Unless otherwise instructed, the persons named in the accompanying proxy intend to vote the shares represented by the proxy for the election of the five nominees listed below. Although it is not contemplated that any nominee will decline or be unable to serve as a director, in such event, proxies will be voted by the proxy holder for such other persons as may be designated by the Board of Directors, unless the Board of Directors reduces the number of Directors to be elected. Election of a director to the Board of Directors requires a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting.

The current Board of Directors consists of Dr. Greg Campbell, Jane Casanta, Brett Hoge, Dottie Pepper, and Akinobu Yorihiro. The Board of Directors has determined that a majority of its members consisting of Jane Casanta, Brett Hogue, and Dottie Pepper are independent directors within the meaning of the applicable Nasdaq rules.

Equity Compensation Plan

The Board of Directors of the Company has adopted, and the Company’s stockholders have approved, the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), for its officers, employees, non-employee members of the Board of Directors, and consultants of the Company. The Plan authorizes the granting of not more than 375,000 restricted shares, stock appreciation rights, and incentive and non-qualified stock options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock.

Director Compensation

The following table sets forth summary information concerning the compensation we paid to non-executive directors during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

The Board adopted a Director Compensation Policy (the “Director Compensation Policy”) as set forth below.

This policy sets forth compensation payable to each non-employee member of the Board.

Non-employee members of the Board of Company shall be eligible to receive cash and equity compensation as set forth in this Director Compensation Policy. The cash compensation and stock awards described in this Director Compensation Policy shall be paid or be made, as applicable, automatically and without further action of the Board, to each member of the Board who is not an employee of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company (each, an “Independent Director”) who may be eligible to receive such cash compensation or stock awards, unless such Independent Director declines the receipt of such cash compensation or stock awards by written notice to the Chairman of the Board.

This Director Compensation Policy shall remain in effect until it is revised or rescinded by further action of the Board. The terms and conditions of this Director Compensation Policy shall supersede any prior cash or equity compensation arrangements between the Company and its directors.

Cash Compensation

Annual Board Member retainer: $ 20,000

Annual retainer for the Chairman: $ 5,000

Annual Committee Chair Retainer: $ 5,000

All cash compensation is earned on a fiscal year basis, divided equally and paid, at the end of each quarter. Directors who commence service mid-quarter or who terminate service mid-quarter will receive pro-rated retainers to be paid at the end of the applicable quarter.

Equity Compensation

Each Independent Director will receive stock options to acquire 4,000 shares of common stock of the Company, when the appointment becomes effective. The Chairman will receive stock options to purchase an additional 2,400 shares of common stock of the Company, when the appointment becomes effective. Options granted to Independent Directors will (i) vest quarterly over a three-year period, and (ii) have an exercise period which is the shorter of (a) seven years from the grant date or (b) two years from the date of separation, so long as the individual remains an Independent Director in good standing.

If a director is appointed at a time other than the annual stockholders meeting, the number of options and vesting schedule will be pro-rated based upon the amount of time that has elapsed since the Company’s most recent annual meeting.

Expense Reimbursement

Each of the non-employee directors will be entitled to receive reimbursement for reasonable expenses which they properly incur in connection with their functions and duties as a director, including travel expenses incurred to attend meetings. Directors are required to follow the same travel policies as the employees of the Company.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

During the past ten years, none of our officers, directors, promoters or control persons have been involved in any legal proceedings as described in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K.

VOTE REQUIRED

Under applicable Delaware law, the election of each nominee requires the affirmative vote by a plurality of the voting power of the shares present and entitled to vote on the election of directors at the Annual Meeting at which a quorum is present.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF THE NOMINEES NAMED ABOVE AS DIRECTORS, AND PROXIES SOLICITED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOR THEREOF UNLESS A STOCKHOLDER HAS INDICATED OTHERWISE ON THE PROXY.

INFORMATION REGARDING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

The Board has established a corporate Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all officers, directors and employees and which is intended to qualify as a “code of ethics” as defined by Item 406 of Regulation S-K of the Exchange Act. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available on the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website at www.sacksparente.com. If the Company makes any substantive amendments to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics or grants any waiver from a provision of the Code to any executive officer or director, the Company will promptly disclose the nature of the amendment or waiver on its website.

Public Availability of Corporate Governance Documents

Our key corporate governance documents, including our Code of Conduct and the charters of our Audit Committee and Compensation Committee are:

● available on the Investor Relations section of our corporate website at www.sacksparente.com; and

● available in print to any stockholder who requests them from our corporate secretary.

Director Attendance

The Board held four meetings during 2023. Each director attended at least 75% of Board meetings and meetings of the committees on which he or she served.

Board Diversity Matrix

The following Board Diversity Matrix as of September 30, 2024 presents our Board Diversity statistics, in accordance with NASDAQ Rule 5606, as self-disclosed by the directors. While the Board satisfies minimum objectives of NASDAQ Rule 5605(f)(2), the Board will continue to consider the diversity of the Board in its selection of director nominees.

Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight

The leadership of the Board is currently structured so that it is led by the Company’s Executive Chairman, Greg Campbell, who is responsible for presiding over meetings of the Board of Directors, setting meeting agendas and determining materials to be distributed to the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors has determined that given the size and current state of the Company’s operations, this leadership structure is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. The entire Board of Directors, as well as through its various committees, is responsible for oversight of the Company’s risk management process. Management furnishes information regarding risk to the Board of Directors as requested. The Audit Committee discusses risk management with the Company’s management and independent public accountants as set forth in the Audit Committee’s charter. The Compensation Committee reviews the compensation programs of the Company to make sure economic incentives are tied to the long-term interests of the stockholders. The Company believes that innovation and the building of long-term stockholder value are impossible without taking risks. The Company recognizes that imprudent acceptance of risk and the failure to identify risks could be detrimental to stockholder value. The executive officers of the Company are responsible for assessing these risks on a day-to-day basis and for how to best identify, manage and mitigate significant risks that the Company may face.

Board Committees

The Board has established an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

The following is a description of each of the committees and their composition:

Audit Committee

The audit committee is responsible for overseeing: (i) our accounting and reporting practices and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements regarding such accounting and reporting practices; (ii) the quality and integrity of our financial statements; (iii) our internal control and compliance programs; (iv) our independent auditors’ qualifications and independence and (v) the performance of our independent auditors and our internal audit function. In so doing, the audit committee maintains free and open means of communication between our directors, internal auditors and management.

The Audit Committee consists of Independent Directors Jane Casanta, Brett Hoge, and Dottie Pepper, with Brett Hoge acting as Committee Chair and the Audit Committee financial expert.

Report of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors

This report of the Audit Committee is required by the SEC and, in accordance with the SEC’s rules, will not be deemed to be part of or incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference this proxy statement into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), except to the extent that we specifically incorporate this information by reference, and will not otherwise be deemed “soliciting material” or “filed” under either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 with management of the Company. The Audit Committee has discussed with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and the SEC. The Audit Committee has also received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent accountants’ communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the accounting firm’s independence.

Policy Regarding Attendance at Annual Meetings of Stockholders

Director Independence

As required under the Nasdaq Stock Market listing standards, a majority of the members of a listed company’s board of directors must qualify as “independent”, as affirmatively determined by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors consults with the Company’s counsel to ensure that its determinations are consistent with relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the definition of “independent”, including those set forth in pertinent listing standards of Nasdaq, as in effect from time to time.

Consistent with these considerations, after review of all relevant identified transactions or relationships between each director, or any of his or her family members, and the Company, its senior management and its independent auditors, the Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that the following director nominees are independent directors within the meaning of the applicable Nasdaq listing standards: Jane Casanta, Brett Hoge and Dottie Pepper.

PROPOSAL 2:

RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT

OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee has appointed Weinberg & Company, P.A. (“Weinberg”) to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 and our Board of Directors has further directed that management submit the selection of its independent registered public accountant firm for ratification by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting. Weinberg has audited the Company’s financial statements since 2013. Representatives of Weinberg are not expected to be present at the Annual Meeting.

Stockholder ratification of the selection of Weinberg as the Company’s independent registered public accountants is not required by Delaware law, the Company’s certificate of incorporation, or the Company’s bylaws. However, the Audit Committee is submitting the selection of Weinberg to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether to retain that firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of different independent registered public accountants at any time during the year if the Audit Committee determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the annual meeting will be required to ratify the selection of Weinberg. Abstentions will be counted toward the tabulation of votes cast on Proposal 2 and will have the same effect as negative votes. Broker non-votes will be counted towards a quorum, but will not be counted for any purpose in determining whether Proposal 2 has been approved.

Audit Fees

The following table sets forth aggregate fees billed to us by Weinberg & Company, P.A., our independent registered public accounting firm during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

As defined by the SEC, (i) “audit fees” are fees for professional services rendered by our principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of financial statements included in our Form 10-K, or for services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years; (ii) “audit-related fees” are fees for assurance and related services by our principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported under “audit fees;” (iii) “tax fees” are fees for professional services rendered by our principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning; and (iv) “all other fees” are fees for products and services provided by our principal accountant, other than the services reported under “audit fees,” “audit-related fees,” and “tax fees.”

Audit Fees

Weinberg provided services for the audits of our financial statements included in Annual Reports on Form 10-K and limited reviews of the financial statements included in Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

Audit Related Fees

Weinberg did not provide any professional services which would be considered “audit related fees.”

Tax Fees

Weinberg prepared our 2023 and 2022 Federal and state income tax returns.

All Other Fees

Services provided by Weinberg with respect to the filing of various registration statements made throughout the year are considered “all other fees.”

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

Under the SEC’s rules, the Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm in order to ensure that they do not impair the auditors’ independence. The SEC’s rules specify the types of non-audit services that an independent auditor may not provide to its audit client and establish the Audit Committee’s responsibility for administration of the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm.

Consistent with the SEC’s rules, the Audit Committee Charter requires that the Audit Committee review and pre-approve all audit services and permitted non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm to us or any of our subsidiaries. The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to a member of the Audit Committee and if it does, the decisions of that member must be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. Accordingly, 100% of audit services and non-audit services described herein were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

There were no hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF WEINBERG & COMPANY, P.A. AS THE COMPANY’S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM, AND PROXIES SOLICITED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOR THEREOF UNLESS A STOCKHOLDER HAS INDICATED OTHERWISE ON THE PROXY.

Steve Sacks – Co-Founder

Steve Sacks has been in the golf industry since 1974. In the last 40 plus years he has been a pioneer in golf marketing and manufacturing. In this period, Sacks was one of the first to import stainless steel golf club castings for such retailers as Walmart, Kmart, Buyers Association of Golf, National Golf Buyers Association, and OEM’s such as Yamaha Golf and Daiwa Golf.

He has done extensive research in the use and effectiveness of alternative materials for golf club manufacture and in golf club design. He was present when the first metal woods were cast and worked closely with the foundry in developing casting and finishing technology of the first metal woods. He was one of the first to experiment with ceramics, titanium alloys and was also one of the first to use dissimilar materials to achieve weight objectives and increase the Moment of Inertia (MOI) in golf clubs and putters.

In 1993, Sacks co-founded Goldwin Golf. While at Goldwin, he oversaw the complete marketing effort that included public relations, advertising development, advertising placement and all Point Of Purchase materials.

In 1996, he joined Carbite Golf. At Carbite he was heavily involved in direct response sales, infomercials, direct mail and wholesale sales. He developed the wholesale sales and marketing campaigns that launched 4 successful infomercial products to retail, the Viper Bite wedge, the Polar Balanced putter, the Polar Balanced wedge and the Gyro 7 utility club. While at Carbite he also successfully re-introduced what had been an aging and somewhat dated brand, Daiwa, into the U.S. market.

Sacks is known throughout the industry for his knowledge, work ethic, ingenuity, and integrity. He has founded, consulted, designed or work for all of these entities over the course of his lifetime in golf: Aserta Sports, Bridgestone Golf, Carbite Golf, Daiwa Golf, Goldwin Golf, Golf Headquarters, Golf Technology Systems, Rife Putters, Yamaha Golf.

Richard Parente – Co-Founder

During the past five decades Parente has been an industry leader with design innovations that have changed the way golf clubs are designed and manufactured. In 1980, he co-founded Hickory Stick, which was renamed Callaway Golf in 1982 and was the first President of Callaway. During his Callaway Golf tenure, he co-invented and patented the short hosel design (s2h2) on which the entire Callaway club line was based. He also designed the first of many of the oversize drivers and irons that are popular today. Parente was the first to apply numerically computer controlled (CNC) methods to full production of milled putters, creating a new industry within an industry. His methods were a major golf industry breakthrough, offering manufacturers the ability to mass-produce putters in a milled form, without the one-of-a-kind price.

In 1993, Parente began a venture as co-owner and President of Goldwin Golf, a fast-growing company reaching more than $35 million dollars in sales in 1997. He started Goldwin Golf by applying the milled process in manufacturing metal woods, an industry first and a break-through in driver technology. He co-invented the patented AVDP System for metal woods and irons, a radical but innovative system shifting weight and balance toward the head of the club.

Parente’s design expertise comes from his origins in the golf industry. He was a 20-year PGA club professional, which allowed him to see the other side of the counter. The time he spent with golfers led to an understanding of the tastes of the playing public. Through his designs he has applied this knowledge to make the best products available. His emphasis has been on embracing the latest in technology to determine its advantages for golf. He also founded Golf Laboratories, an independent testing company, which uses advanced robotics for research and development.

His club design work always incorporates both robotic and player testing during the R&D phase. This has given him an advantage in designing products technically superior to competitive products.

Among the breakthrough products designed or co-designed by Rich Parente are:

Timothy L. Triplett – Co-Founder

Timothy L. Triplett was a Director, and the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company from our founding in March 2018 to December 2023.

Before joining NXV Mr. Triplett was the co-founder, President and Chief Executive Officer of Brass Ring Spirit Brands from 2014-2017. In 2009 he founded Smart Real Estate Investments, Inc. and served as CEO until 2014.

He was the founder of American MSI Corporation, serving as the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer from 1984-2004 and was named Entrepreneur of the Year in 1994, for high technology manufacturing, by Inc. Magazine, Merrill Lynch, and Ernst & Young. He is also in the Ernst & Young, Entrepreneur of the Year, Hall of Fame. He attended Western Carolina University from 1974-1979, majoring in Industrial Technology & Manufacturing.

Indemnification Agreements

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Company’s directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities to file various reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission concerning their holdings of, and transactions in, securities of the Company. Copies of these filings must be furnished to the Company. To the Company’s knowledge, based solely on its review of the copies of the Section 16(a) reports furnished to the Company and any written representations to the Company that no reports were required, the Company believes that Jane Casanta was delinquent in filing her Form 3 because of issues in obtaining her filing codes.

Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons

Due to the small size of our Company, we do not at this time have a formal written policy regarding the review of related party transactions and rely on our full Board of Directors to review, approve or ratify such transactions and identify and prevent conflicts of interest. Our Board of Directors reviews any such transaction in light of the particular affiliation and interest of any involved director, officer or other employee or stockholder and, if applicable, any such person’s affiliates or immediate family members. Management aims to present transactions to our Board of Directors for approval before they are entered into or, if that is not possible, for ratification after the transaction has occurred. If our Board of Directors finds that a conflict of interest exists, then it will determine the appropriate action or remedial action, if any. Our Board of Directors approves or ratifies a transaction if it determines that the transaction is consistent with our best interests and the best interest of our stockholders.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

The following table sets forth certain information regarding beneficial ownership of our common stock as October 31, 2024 by (i) each person (or group of affiliated persons) who is known by us to own more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of our common stock, (ii) each director and executive officer, and (iii) all of our directors, executive officers and director nominees as a group.

Except as otherwise indicated, the persons listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of our common stock owned by them, except to the extent that power may be shared with a spouse.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with SEC rules and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. For purposes of this table, a person or group of persons is deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of any shares of common stock that such person currently owns or has the right to acquire within 60 days of the date of this prospectus. With respect to options and warrants, this would include options and warrants that are currently exercisable within 60 days. With respect to convertible securities, this would include securities that are currently convertible within 60 days.

Except as indicated in footnotes to this table, we believe that the stockholders named in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown to be beneficially owned by them, based on information provided to us by such stockholders. Unless otherwise indicated, the address for each director and executive officer listed is: c/o Sacks Parente Golf, Inc., 551 Calle San Pablo, Camarillo, CA 93012.

HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and other Annual Meeting materials with respect to two or more stockholder sharing the same address by delivering a proxy statement or other Annual Meeting materials addressed to those stockholders.

This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding”, potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to be able to access and receive separate proxy cards.

If you share an address with another stockholder and have received multiple copies of our proxy materials, you may write or call us at the address and phone number below to request delivery of a single copy of the notice and, if the proxy materials in the future. We undertake to deliver promptly upon written or oral request a separate copy of the proxy materials, as requested, to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the proxy materials was delivered. If you hold stock as a record stockholder and would prefer to receive separate copies of our proxy materials, either now or in the future, please notify your broker or the Company. Written requests to the Company should be directed to Sacks Parente Golf, Inc., ATTN: Secretary, 551 Calle San Pablo, Camarillo, California 93012. If your stock is held through a brokerage firm or bank and you prefer to receive separate copies of our proxy materials either now or in the future, please contact your brokerage firm or bank.

OTHER BUSINESS

As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the management of the Company has no knowledge of any business that may be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting, other than that described above. As to other business, if any, that may properly come before the Annual Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, it is intended that the Proxy hereby solicited will be voted in respect of such business in accordance with the judgment of the Proxy holders.
